My cover/lesson of this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqebeKeqjLt6Z7M

[@CameronCox]

Ask forgiveness Judgements wrong It is said to left thee One or both, singing every word I shall pass here Lay here before Theres more darkness Stare into the unfillable hole On and on your Close today I heard a whisper Escape your tongue A voice that you told brave Tried pretending Was it not you? Saw my own ending (envy?) Die for yours So alone and cruel Held up who we wanted to Wanna pass with time The thing we thought we could never do Making up for the ride Pulled down from stones that slow down our flight Ashes from the trip Lord I want to Lose that day Scarred and bleeding Sitting soft, wondering if I'll be safe Find these holes from A lead outside One dead one living Another piece that didn't cross your eyes We held up who we wanted to What a passionate lie The pain we thought we would never do Makin up for the ride Pulled down from stones that slow down our flight Passes from the trip Shot out Spun out Slow down Carry that weight boy Slow down Brought down Locked out Carry that weight boy (Solo) And I never said goodbye Why can't i say goodbye And I didn't say goodbye Lost time to say goodbye This is my best guess as to what he was singing. What a deep song, in every way.

OH MY GOD. WHO ARE YOU! THIS IS AMAZING. You just made the upcoming cover so incredibly much better. HOW DID YOU DO IT? BIONIC EARS?

Hope this song made it to his new solo record.It’s so good.

[@MLCrow]

Sadly, not.

[@lukebryde594]

I think it's best to leave this one as is. It is a painful song. Especially how the new album is about going from the darkness to the light.

[@lukebryde594]

It might be on the new new solo record. He said he had a few songs that didn't fit on brighten so this one might be one of them.

Cantrell's music is some delicious food for my soul. Amazing song.

It sounds like a funeral to me. Love it

Larry´s funeral

[@DuVtrell]

Such a travesty there is no studio recording of this. I hope his hasn't forgotten about this gem. He is working on a solo record as we speak. This song deserves better than a shitty recording on youtube. The world needs to hear this masterpiece.

[@Cstevens00]

Listen to Jerry 2001 version of atone. I like it much more than the version on the brighten album.

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

Holy crap! My son and I saw Jerry in Phoenix in April of 2004. He played this song at that show, and we both loved it. I never heard or saw anything about it ever again, even with a good amount of searching. I was almost convinced I had made it up. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@the92project]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@puppetmaster8551]

So jealous you got to see this live. It kills me this will likely never be released, sounds like vintage top tier Cantrell

[@trishransom7272]

He played it in Albuquerque on what I believe was the night after Phoenix. He played it a few times at the shows he opened for Kid Rock. I posted the setlist from that show somewhere (Alice in Chains message board? MySpace?) For years whenever this was discussed people sent me back that post-lol. There were a few interviews where he discussed unreleased Deg Trip songs and this was one of them-along with Glory Lane and some others...I remember it being 3 or 4 songs I hadn't heard before or since.

[@AxellBrooks]

Oh my, I didn't even know about this gem... now I really want to learn how to play it and sing it! Can't wait for your cover man :O

[@the92project]

Working on it!

I didn’t either!

Jerry's new album has been revealed, but this song won't be featured in it. I'm sad and disappointed, but still excited to see what he has to offer us.

[@the92project]

It appears my studio version of Unfillable Hole will be the only version ever made lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqebeKeqjLt6Z7M

[@joeybusnardo5866]

@@the92project Yeah I guess so. I've already watched it and you nailed it!

[@rawkguy4896]

He could be saving it for a future release. Maybe it just doesn't fit the vibe of Brighten.

[@the92project]

What it he changed the title and we are all clueless? lol

@@the92project Hopefully! Because it is a great song! I had a lot of shit happen to me lately and Jerry and AIC are my only escape to feel understood haha

Still coming back to this after many years and dying inside that it never officially released, this is fuckin top tier Jerry songwriting.

It doesn't fit the vide of Brighten. Would have fit good on D-Trip. Holding out for the next solo album. Hopefully not 20 years tho.

[@spiderbite6734]

@@mypetblackhole5793 Agreed, Brighten is more of an optimistic album for Jerry. The Unfillable Hole is definitely a different vibe to it, like mourning the loss of something/someone. It's a heavy song to say the least.

[@lukebryde594]

God that is such a heartbreaking song.

[@MLCrow]

I can't understand why Jerry didn't release this song. It's amazing. A special, unique one.

Im working on it but the lyrics are slowing me down. I cant understand everything he says and without proper lyrics I cant do the cover I want to do

[@rawkguy4896]

@@MLCrow This and Something New are better than every song on Brighten. Of all the old songs he chose to revisit I wonder why he picked Atone

[@MLCrow]

@@rawkguy4896 Jerry Cantrell is one of my all time favorite musicians but Brighten (album) didn't impress me, honestly...too "country" influenced as a whole for me. I don't like to say it but I don't feel the album. I was hoping for some heavy riffs too, something more in the metal waters too, something different because Tyler Bates and Greg Puciato were involved too. I like his previous solo albums Boggy Depot and especially Degradation Trip way more...but I respect Jerry. Maybe I will dig Brighten sometime in the future, who knows. Never heard of the JC song Something New. I can't find it. Do you have a link?

[@rawkguy4896]

@@MLCrow Its not bad but its easily his weakest album in his entire discography, and the only one that doesn't have a song I'm constantly playing off it. A big let down in 2021 since I was really hyped for it. Sure! Check it out! I said on another video that Something New, Unfillable Hole and One Eyed Jacks was Jerry totally being a chameleon in the Post Grunge era. But instead of making douchebag rock he brought out the genre's strengths. Here is the link, I can totally see this on a superhero movie soundtrack of the time. Like Spiderman 2 or Daredevil haha kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJO8pHmoe9dnjac

@@rawkguy4896 Ok, I've heard this song but I just didn't know the title before. Thanks 👍 Yeah, I understand you (talking about Brighten). Talking about other songs by Jerry... I really like the song Setting Sun: Jerry co-wrote it with Tyler Bates (ex Marilyn Manson band) few years ago...that's why I was expecting something like that too on Jerry's 3rd solo album. Maybe next time.

I feel like it was recorded he just never released it, this was definitely one of the tracks that was gonna be on his 3rd solo album back in 04-06 but that album seemed to have died for some reason maybe because AIC reformed idk. It’s such a shame tho because this song is legit amazing and top tier Jerry songwriting which is an insanely high bar. I’d be kinda surprised if Jerry never recorded a version of this song

[@seanwinter6140]

is this a new song?? i hope he makes a solo album in the future

It sounds like an Alice song. That makes me sad.

A lot of Jerry’s work sounds like AIC stuff , obviously because he was the guy who wrote most of AIC and his probably turned music he wrote for AIC into solo music.

[@davidr6563]

@@puppetmaster8551 I know. I meant, he seems to have a specific style for solo stuff and Alice stuff. I was thinking that sounded like that could have been on a record or b side. I know Jerr bear is AIC. He wrote most lyrics as well right? Until at least tripod?

[@puppetmaster8551]

@@davidr6563 I get what you’re saying the lyrics were pretty split before tripod but Jerry wrote most of the hits and pretty much almost all the music, rooster/would?/down in a hole/no excuses/got me wrong/them bones/grind/heaven beside you, all Jerry music and lyrics, Layne did write the lyrics for like 9 of 12 tripod songs.
