As a 46 year old who lived through the AIC Staley years, you should be proud of how you represented this cover. You captured the essence and feel of AIC in your own way. You’re a breath of fresh air. Thank you.
I’m a 42yr old blue collar working man and even after repeated listens it brings me to tears, absolutely in shambles over here. Wow what a powerful performance! Incredible! Can’t wait to see more! ❤
46 year old man here. I feel ya brother. Check out her arrangement of “The Kill” and share her link with anyone you know who loves music! THIS is the kind of pure talent we should all be promoting.
Sorry for you're loss. I lost mine too, and what I told him before he went on to his journey. The same way you felt when i was born is going to be the same as it will be when i join you. "LOVE" Live your life with all the memories and gifts he showed you. Be happy each and every day.
You know a lot of us old school AIC fans are watching this… you are amazing! It’s so rare to hear a song like that covered so well. You added you own style too. Keep it up.
I’m a 35 year old man and this song has felt like my anthem since the first time i heard it when i was 15 years old. I absolutely adore what you’ve done with your version of this song. Magnificently done. Thank you for making this.
I lost my best friend to suicide 2 years ago this last October. He was a big AIC fan and this song has been stuck with me the last 2 years since he passed. Thank you for creating a truly wonderful rendition.
I started my life over again 16 years ago. I was 50 and a half years old when I encountered a motorcycle crash on the highway coming home from work and wasn't wearing a helmet. My traumatic brain injury out of ICU was the beginning. Wearing diapers and maneuvering in a wheelchair. Nutshell was my daily Anthem from Alice in Chains. After seven years, I was able to purchase a new 2015 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide motorcycle, like my last was. Nutshell played by Alice in Chains, Nicole Alexis or on my own guitar is quite the path of life. Miss Nicole, stay safe and healthy. Inspiring my own mind, you gave me a positive. Happy Holidays 😊
@@NicoleAlexisyou are very welcome! There is no doubt that you have a God given talent. I’m literally speechless. I’ve been listening to this on repeat
I recently started following you here on YT and you have captivated me with the way you make music and your voice is something so beautiful to listen to, a true melody for the ears and the soul... 😍😍😍❤❤❤
Awesome! Brings me back to my teenage years in the late 90s early 2000s. She's a great talent! So impressive 👏 I watched your videos and I said, "Oh ya... I forgot I like this genre of music!" Lol. I don't if im just getting old, or if I don't hear as much Alternative-Rock/punk/classic rock music on the radio these days at work, but I forgot about all these bands. Except I like your twist or version of it. Blows my mind you can be such a talented singer/guitarist/drummer/producer all in 1 at such a young age. And that creative too.
I have been HIGHLY anticipating you releasing this!! No longer do I have to live with the 1 min clip on repeat... I can now be sustained with the full song.. on repeat.. lol
Thank you for the time you put into learning, playing, recording and posting this cover for all of us to enjoy. It is really well done, congrats on reaching this level of talent.
Still one of my all-time favorite tunes. Love seeing the comment section light up and artists bringing a new twist to it like yourself all these years later.
I've watched / heard a lot of covers of this song, but this one really hits different. The lead in is different (in a very good way), but as soon as I heard your voice, I got chills. This is simply fantastic. As a huge AIC fan (and grunge in general), this is one of my absolute favorite songs. It's been said that this song is like a man singing at his own funeral. I've felt for years that several of AIC's songs were kind of a dark description of Layne's descent and a eulogy of sorts that essentially foretold his death. His death was one of the greatest losses ever in the world of music.
Well done girl! I'm from Seattle and I'm a musician, I dig on your cover of a classic, nice playing and tone in your voice. Thank you for sharing with us, God gave you a gift.
This tune is going on playlist, Layne is smiling from heaven and really did justice to the Band with your own composition and did something most people are afraid to touch. Thank you to putting this tune into our BlueWorld.
Great performance/take on a Seattle grung classic. Beautiful voice, superb utilization of effects, and heart pounding soul in there. Nicole, I hope you the story Layne was telling in this bone chiller. Thank you for this. I'm a fan. I wish I could thumbs up every comment, cuz we all have our own meaning to this. God Bless - Happy 2025
I cannot get enough of this cover. Simply beautiful and haunting, like the original. Only you've given it a fresh breath of life into it. Your voice fits so perfectly.
Oh my freaking god, this is for my concern the best interpretation of the original. Your voice is amazing and in combination with the lead guitar makes it so damn good.
Seriously can't get enough of this cover! The live-looping, the vocals, the rawness and arrangements of sounds, the emotion behind the song, everything is just 🤌🏼🔥🔥 You made a cover that will last forever!! Definitely one for the playlists! Amazing, thank you for sharing ❤
Wow! Great time signatures on this cover of AIC , excellent, to say the least. I'm 44 and have been listening to AIC and this song since the beginning. Great job Nicole!
Been waiting for this! Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to make the full version. And a tip of the cap for the moody, melodic solo at the end. Cheers.
I grew up listening to Alice In Chains and to this day, they are still one of my all time favorite bands. I heard many covers of this song and I have to say your version is magical. Great job young lady 🙏🏻
This is an incredibly gorgeous cover of such an iconic song. The performance is really inspiring, and Nicole's voice is silky and airy. Certainly captures the emotion and spirit of the song. Well done!
This is a beautifully original take on this song. It takes it to a different place without ever detracting from what made it special in the first place. Not an easy feat to pull off. Bravo.
I have never felt so compelled to comment on a video. You have a beautiful voice, your talent speaks for itself. Great job, great cover. One of the top of such a highly covered song. Been listening to this song as a top fav for decades. Like many here, lived through the original and go back to it often. You did so good, keep it up 👍💪
instantly made me cry! You are so talented!! Wow. This song is my favourite anyway I want it played at my funeral. But my god you blew this out of the water. ❤
This sound like a heal for whatever. Congratulations for your dedicate work, keep going and thank you so much for bring us this piece of peace. Greetings from Spain!

Nicole! You have made a really awesome cover of my favourite song since I was 15 (I'm 15 more right now). Thank you so so much. You don't know how much I appreciate it. I love it. ❤
As a 46 year old who lived through the AIC Staley years, you should be proud of how you represented this cover. You captured the essence and feel of AIC in your own way. You’re a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

What does "blue collar working men" means? English is not my first or second language
I'm 54, 20 years ago I gave up playing guitar and singing to provide a better way of life for my kids, they now play music. Thank you for this 😭
Never too late to pick up that guitar my friend, and to give your family the gift of music... respect for your choices you're a true man in my book!
@kingkpin100 thank you thats kind of you. Hopefully one day they understand what I've done for them
@ i can absolutely guarantee it
Never too late to pick it back up.
I lost my dad on Friday, and I laid him to rest in his final resting place yesterday. Listening to this brings me some comfort and peace..
im very sorry for your loss
in the same boat. this was peaceful
Sorry for you're loss. I lost mine too, and what I told him before he went on to his journey. The same way you felt when i was born is going to be the same as it will be when i join you. "LOVE" Live your life with all the memories and gifts he showed you. Be happy each and every day.

Well said, such an amazing song, her style only adds to the beauty.

I lost my best friend to suicide 2 years ago this last October. He was a big AIC fan and this song has been stuck with me the last 2 years since he passed. Thank you for creating a truly wonderful rendition.
Rarely do artist do this song justice. You nailed it. I know this because it made me want to cry. Perfection.
Thanks so so much!
I agree! Thank you NA
29 yr old man here going thru it. This song holds special resonance in my heart. I love it this so much ❤️ thank you x
We got you 🖤🖤

Just saw this on TikTok and rushed over to check out the full version. Absolutely beautiful.
Appreciate you coming to check it out!
Girllll, this is the MOST beautiful rendition of this song I’ve ever heard! I’ve got goosebumps all over my body listening to this! Way to go!!
Appreciate this so much! Thank you!
@@NicoleAlexisyou are very welcome! There is no doubt that you have a God given talent. I’m literally speechless. I’ve been listening to this on repeat
You're not alone... I'm probably 500x in now...@@BaileyH-sr8cm
It's like redefinition of 'The District Sleeps Alone Tonight' by Birdy. After that I can't listen to the original anymore
Cant stop listening to this on repeat
Appreciate you!
Me to it’s addictive
I recently started following you here on YT and you have captivated me with the way you make music and your voice is something so beautiful to listen to, a true melody for the ears and the soul... 😍😍😍❤❤❤
I’m on 5 in a row right now!
❤ This is perfect ❤
Keep'em coming please!
Thanks so so much 🖤
Everything fits so well together it’s hard to believe it was done live and looped. That guitar sitting behind her voice… well done. Love it.
Well its auto-tuned/pitch corrected on the spot
Thank you!

Totally! 💯👌
Haha thanks so much! Appreciate you and thanks for being patient 🖤🖤
AIC is one of my favorite bands.. I'm 51 and this is one of the BEST Alice covers I've heard!! Wow!
OG AIC fan here. I always hate covers/renditions. I LOVED this! You captured the soul of the song.
Damn, I play guitar for about 16 years now, but over time I forgot to put my soul into my playing. You reminded me of this. Thank you for that.
Thank you for the time you put into learning, playing, recording and posting this cover for all of us to enjoy. It is really well done, congrats on reaching this level of talent.
this was my fav! in 90's amazing cover!!
What a beautiful version. Great work 👍🏻
Appreciate you!
Beautiful version ❤
Incredible!!! Absolutely brought all the feels on this one. Spotify version can’t come soon enough!

Gives me the chills like the original. You kept the spirit of the song yet made it your own at the same time. Excellent. Amazing talent!
Still one of my all-time favorite tunes. Love seeing the comment section light up and artists bringing a new twist to it like yourself all these years later.
The best cover of this song I've ever heard. Please put this Spotify 🙏🏻
One of my favorite songs since high school. Absolutely love this take on it. Great job.

You are magical!!! Thanks!
OMG thanks so much!!
I grew up in the Seattle area. Wonderful cover. Thank you for giving the song the justice it deserves. Layne would like this. Peace.
OMG the first note you sung brought a tear to my eye. Your voice is amazing.
Well done girl! I'm from Seattle and I'm a musician, I dig on your cover of a classic, nice playing and tone in your voice. Thank you for sharing with us, God gave you a gift.

I'm another old dude that is fortunate enough to have seen AIC live twice. You have done a magnificent job with this cover.
Great performance/take on a Seattle grung classic. Beautiful voice, superb utilization of effects, and heart pounding soul in there.
