Yes! The "YOU don't understand who THEY though *I* was supposed be" then "Look at ME now: a man who won't let HIMSELF be." The others, whoever they were were, eroded his own agency, his aspirations, and stole his comfort in his own skin.

So difficult to watch those Unplugged clips anymore. As people have said, it's like Layne is singing at his own funeral. Heartbreaking.

[@mattgray4875]

Suffering in front of his band, the audience & no one can get to him…so raw, so real and so painful. Miss you Layne.

[@Cadinho93]

The reason you can't describe what you are hearing from Layne's voice is because what you are hearing is raw emotion, not technique, he's not singing the songs, he's living the songs and expressing it. Also, the entire MTV Unplugged show is both amazing and heartbreaking; it's like watching Layne's suffering put out right in front of the world for all to see.

[@Ps1ClassicGameplay]

Also good to remember Layne literally had most of his teeth rotted out by this point and was on copious amounts of heroin. He is quite literally at his lowest point in life in this singing his own funeral with a barely working body

[@LouiseCantwell]

​@@Ps1ClassicGameplay He hadn't lost any of his teeth yet. This is a rumor that goes around. If you look at mad season live at the Moore less than a year before his teeth were fine. Around the time of MTV unplugged they shot the Nona files and you can see all his teeth though they have deteriorated and are not in good health. I think he is super self conscious and is trying to keep his head down hide them here but they are there or his whole face would have lost structure. According to his father he started to loose them around 1998 after he had become reclusive x

[@RebelJamin72]

Jeez yeah... it's crazy

[@Slice_The_Elder]

Thank you for this. "You don't understand who they thought I'm supposed to be". Pressure, real or imagined, from parents or other important people in your life can really mess you up. I'm 64 and recently retired. I started living MY life just a few years ago. I don't really care what other people think of me anymore. I often felt/feel I've let other people down, despite giving it my best effort. Now I just don't give a crap.

[@hurfhimself1426]

Being depressed really does feel like being stuck in a hole with no hope of ever climbing out. The feeling of wanting to be free, to be able to fly but being denied that is very relatable.

[@felipehenriques7880]

so true, such a heavy sense of guilt, i put myself in this situation

[@PainInTheS]

Layne Staley's voice was one of the most hauntingly tormented ones ever!!!! In 1992 I bought Alice in chains' first 2 albums, I was 22. My son was born 6 years later, is now 26 and has had a poster of Layne in his room for over 10 years now. That voice......oh man that voice.

[@jeffspangler2367]

For the “someone throwing you a rope” thing, sober for 31 years, I have flashes of moments, of the times I was thrown a rope and either didn’t see it for what it was, or was actively avoiding the opportunities given. I have had some of the most satisfying experiences of my life going back and reconnecting with those who tried to help me when I didn’t want it. Everything is a two way street.

[@truther4life]

That acoustic bass!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kennethbartlett4302]

It is interesting that you were talking about someone in depression/addiction yearning for that instant relief. I am an addict but clean for 9years and what I found for myself is that the yearning for instant gratification is a huge catalyst for the addiction process. So it makes sense from that view point that someone feeling this way gets stuck down in that hole. I was stuck for 6 years. Now that I am clean and time has passed I have learned patience and have never been happier. Well done reaction and a powerful powerful song.

[@davidtingley9978]

"look at me now im a man who wont let himself be" is such a gut punch of a lyric

[@tommyjohnson43]

[@marcusolivares3987]

this song was played on repeat for several weeks after experiencing a very bad break up. I just felt like I couldn't function as a person and sadly, as a father. But this song also helped me heal because I used it as an outlet for my depression and self-loathing. Layne ultimately couldn't help himself, but he helped save my life.

[@indycarcomplainer2304]

Yeah….the lyrics were written by Jerry….

[@treykook]

“Look at me now, a man who won’t let himself be” is a line I’ve related to from the first time I heard this song back in the 90s. 30-plus years later, it might be more relevant now than it was when I was a young adult trying to find my way.

I don’t know if there a proper way to suggest a song so forgive me if it shouldn’t be posted here. In sticking with the 90s thing, I feel that hearing your reaction to Candlebox “Far Behind” would be interesting because he is singing to/about a friend that died. A lot of your reactions are from songs from artists singing about themselves so Far Behind would give us all a different perspective. Thank you for considering it. All my best.

[@alicaveltman3021]

Totally agree!

[@alexguitarman100]

I read a comment somewhere that pretty said that much this performance was the closest thing you will ever get to somebody singing at their own funeral. Layne was so far down in his addiction at this point, he was really suffering. Yet they still managed to pull of one of the most legendary performances in history. We miss you Layne.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Agree with all of that. And what's crazy is that you can tell he's only operating at a percentage of his abilities. In this performance, the man was on heroin (he had to get a fix before the show to get through it, reportedly), forehead-deep in his addiction and decline, and circling the drain, and he still managed to give a performance that puts many other clean, healthy, and full-powered artists to shame. Dude was a beast.

[@216Numbskull]

@alexguitarman100, I agree my dude. If any vocalist that I know of who came the closest to singing at their own funeral it'd be Chris Cornell. I know he was definitely closer than Layne ever would of been for sure. If you go back & look & listen to the encore Soundgarden did on the night Chris passed away. It should be easy to see that Chris was trying to reach out in his own subtle way to anyone who'd listen. Without warning Cornell played the bands music conductor doing a song mashup starting with "Slaves & Bulldozers." (Every word I said is what I mean. Everything I held is what I freed.) Then Cornell led the rest of the band into "In My Time Of Dying by Zeppelin." (In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn. All I want for you to do is take my body home. Well, well, well, so I can die easy, etc..." Then went back into "S&B" to end the concert. (Everything I gave is what I need. Everything I've shown is what I feel. Now you know why I've been taken...) Just saying.... ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++ 🤘😜🤘

I wish he'd have been able to look back on his young self with pride. I often wonder what he would be doing now. So many musicians of that time didn't make it out of the addiction alive.

Don’t have to be an addict to relate to severe depression and anxiety. I’ve also used the same metaphor. I’m on an island by myself with nothing around but water and if I try to step off the ground I’ll drown. Be kind to yourself.

I am so incredibly jealous that I was not one of the audience members during this performance for MTV unplugged. It was my dream to always see them live in person especially in this special way.

i cried so much when you interpreted this song depression is awful its all my life

[@HeartSupport]

From adv_mat: @sharonankelein9104 I hear you there, these two bands and that reaction to them.... They are so much filled with some kind of articulation of intense emotions and feelings that might be sometimes hard for us to express. They about that deep, constant and often exhausting struggle. This dark place called depression can feel like all this is everything, and nothing basically matters... I've been there... that deep black whole that sucks all the will, hope and motivation to be happy again. It fills like this is all we have. And in such moments, just you, us, recognizing that others have put these feelings into words it some kind of realization we are in this together. Music can a sorrow of recognizing that within ourselves, how difficult it is, that these are trully words descriging our bad spot, moment, part of our life. However at the same time it reminds us that others are feeling this too, that we are not alone in that weightlifting, that others are having similar questions of " why should i?, what's the point ?". We are not isolated in such struggle, we are not alone. If this song caused your tears, then i think it is because it spoke something true. It reached something in your that needed to be seen, heard, understood, and felt. I think that is not being week, that for me is to being a human. It's not easy but it reminds us that we feel that, we feel all of our life, however it sucks. These are human emotions that are true, hard, valid and you made some brave steps to open up. To say out loud what you are looking for, or maybe what you don't want to go through. It is something extraordinary to be open like that, to share you deep feelings that are often hidden. Even in the heaviness of it all, you’ve found a way to connect-through this music, through these words, through this moment. I hear you, i relate to your emotions as someone that been there in these dark places. There is something powerful in these songs, in relations to your emotions - it is not there to say cheer up, or tell you to be happy. This music, and I are here to say we see you, hear you, and these emotions are serious, and no one deserves to go through that. If you ever feel like sharing more-what this song meant to you or anything else there are for sure people to be there to listen, understand, be there for you- you deserve that. Always. I hope you find that space to solve your troubles. Sending all the love, light, warmth, support!!! Matt

excellent reaction by the way, very inspiring.

[@WyattHolly]

Wow. I am an Alice In Chains fan who has struggled with moderate anxiety (not to say it hasn’t been extremely difficult for me but compared to others it may be moderate). Just stumbled upon this video, honestly the breakdown of the vocals and bringing meaning to them in real world problems is so incredibly brilliant and humbling. There have been times, even recently when I have felt like there is nowhere to turn to or to run. Thankfully I have an incredibly supportive friend group and family to pick me up when I am down. Alcohol has been the struggle for me, point blank it gives me extreme anxiety in the resulting days from drinking. For me when I can feel grounded and with the Earth and the atoms around me I feel safe and happy. When I am taken away from the world I feel trapped inside myself. The Lord has been the number one thing in strength and peace and I could not be the way I am today without trust in the Lord, trust in him for he will rid you of all your Earthly struggles and anxieties. You are so smart, I never thought about the way people with true addiction may want immediate resolving of their issues through impossible solutions like fantasies. This thinking further supports the ideology that some people have thst there is no where to go to for help. Which just breaks my heart to think that people can think that. This has truly opened my eyes in a type of way to want to be the “wings” for those who need them. Thank you for this video, what you are doing is awesome. Much love!!

I have a recommendation, not a song most people know, also not a genre of music nost people listen to, but it could use a therapist's perspective on trying to explain the emotions. It's called "Bridges" by Warning. Even if you chose not to react, I encourage you and anyone else who see this comment to listen to this song. Heads up, it's long, slow and depressing, but could help some people explain how they feel via music.

On this night, Layne made this song his own…..it took on an entirely different meaning than Jerry originally intended. It is beautiful, yet heartbreaking. Truly, Layne’s soul was performing. The harmonies between him & Jerry have yet to be matched - they were a perfect duo.
