    The harmony. Layne's and Jerry's vocals were so perfect for each other.

      Hard to argue while listening to this....but to be fair, Simon and Garfunkel exist....so.....I might have to put those two at the top of the list, even though there's probably not a whole lot of crossover between Simon & Garfunkel fans with Alice in Chains.

    Layne always double tracked his own vocals, one clean, one dirty. Then add Jerry on top of that and it's a pretty amazing sound.

    • @theoriginalthg
      @theoriginalthg ปีที่แล้ว +9

      The double tracking and the inverse motion. Layne goes down, Jerry goes up and vice versa. A very old musical idea but holy shit does that type of harmony it sound amazing with their melodies

    • @RexytheRexy
      @RexytheRexy ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The impressive thing: that lowest note is a Bb2, the legendary note from "Bleed the Freak". It's not unusual for a tenor or a baritone to hit that note, but to hit it with that kind of power is incredible.
      I love the fact that Layne encouraged Jerry to sing and got him going in that vein. Without his humility, we wouldn't have this beautiful music.

    Lyrics:
    00:01 It's alright
    There comes a time
    Got no patience to search
    For peace of mind
    Layin' low
    Want to take it slow
    No more hiding or
    Disguising truths I've sold
    .
    00:34 Everyday it's something
    Hits me all so cold
    (If) Find me sittin' by myself
    No excuses, then I know
    .
    00:52 It's okay
    Had a bad day
    Hands are bruised from
    Breaking rocks all day
    Drained and blue
    I bleed for you
    You think it's funny, well
    You're drowning in it too
    .
    Everyday it's something
    Hits me all so cold
    (If) Find me sittin' by myself
    No excuses, then I know
    .
    01:42 Yeah, it's fine
    We'll walk down the line
    Leave our rain, a cold
    Trade for warm sunshine
    You my friend
    I will defend
    And if we change, well I
    Love you anyway

  • @stephenb3348
    @stephenb3348 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    One of my favorite things about the band. Their harmonies were a big part of their sound and helped set them apart from their peers and the slew of bands that wanted to sound like them in the late 90's/early 2000's and all failed.
    Jerry has a high school choir background and sang in quartets in acappella competitions. He's talked about singing really dark music like 14th century Gregorian chants and other classical pieces back then, and also growing up as a fan of classic rock bands like the Who, Beatles, and Eagles who used a lot of harmonies and multiple voices in their music.
    Layne obviously had a good ear for it too. The two of them just clicked on this stuff.

    The days before studio trickier and auto tune

      Studio trickery and pitch correction were definitely around. Hell, this song itself has effects on the whole vocal track. And I can guarantee you that almost every recording you hear with modern tech is pitch corrected, this included.

      Aydogan Mehmet maybe true, but listen to the live versions. Their vocals are still very good

    I had no idea there were three separate voice tracks in the chorus: Jerry, Layne, and then another much higher pitched voice. Who is that? Sounds awesome.

      +SurfingBullDog Definitely Layne doubled. Jerry can't go that high, and the timbre is very telling. Pay attention to the vibrato at the end of the phrase - total Layne.

      It's Layne singing the high pitched

      Sounds like they were both doubled.

      3 tracks I think. Layne on both high and low, Jerry on the other low.

      ​@@DaveTaste Yes, except 0:34 1:24 2:15 I think it's Layne on all three for a few seconds.
