Hands down the most memorable concert of my life....we were front row center I was 22 years old and I still to this day felt Staleys voice and lyrics flowing through me... Every time I watch this and listen....it brings me back to one of my favorite moments in life of all time... RIP to the GOAT...Best vocals ever IMO
I’m just grateful they filmed this show and it looks, sounds and feels like Laynes back and Alive again! This show is one of the best recordings of him and will be part of his legacy! What a magical night that was! I can feel it just from watching this on TH-cam!
*Dyn Jarren this live version is better than the album version no doubt glad I grew up to this music. Being a teenager when this came out was truly amazing RIP LAYNE*
Layne had a unique voice you cannot replicate or replace. Layne Staley's vocal range (5 octaves, 3 notes, 1 semitone) can run rings around any other grunge singer (including Chris Cornell) in my opinion. Layne could sing the phone book and never hit a wrong note. Even at the end of his life, with no teeth and a lisp, his voice, wit and humor were all still there. Layne's voice and vocal range was so powerful he did NOT need auto tune or pro-tools until he lost his teeth and had a lisp around 1998, and even then he still killed the vocals. Barrett Martin (who played with Layne in Mad Season) said that when he stood to the side of the stage, he could hear the sound of Layne’s vocal resonance come out of Layne's body LOUDER than it did coming out of the speakers, Layne's voice was that powerful.
He had more heart and soul in his *Ahhhhh* and *we're all alone* lines than most musicians today do in their entire discographies. Also, Barrett Martin with the hand drums was awesome.
We all have demons such a story!!! I used to get messed up to all his music A&C , Mad Season. To me he's the greatest ever. I don't want to b another flunkie so I got sober 9 yrs going on 10 not a drop. Thank you Layne
I believe Barret Martin the drummer tells a story of a good friend of his driving while listening to this album with his child in back seat. All alone comes on and the child says, daddy is that an angel singing, brought a tear to my eye, Mike McCready said it was suppose to be an instrumental and they came back to the studio and Layne had laid down these vocals, enough said.....beautiful!
Layne was an absolute _assassin_ in the studio. A true recording prodigy. Dude had such a supernatural ability to understand and create intricate vocal harmonies and arrange them and capture them on tape. Alice In Chains album's vocals are like a rich woven tapestry of subtlety with an astounding attention to detail. And the crazy part about it is, if you read interviews with producers like Toby Wright or Dave Jerden, they all say that actually tended to work very quickly and efficiently in the studio; knowing exactly what he wanted ahead of time and exactly what needed to be done to achieve it. That type of arrangement chops and musical awareness is a damn rare thing from a vocalist.
They're new to me, but, like everything Layne touched, I've completely fallen in love. I'm just so very sad (and angry) that he and they couldn't put out a sophomore album. They were just getting their groove...it would have been a monster.
3:43 His voice and his body language break my heart. He is the only singer who can touch my soul with his amazing emotional voice. Such a soul-stirring voice he had. Layne you will always be missed.
All the great ones go way too soon. Just really getting into Mad Season now and I'm so glad there's recordings of them performing. What a treat to be able see and hear!!
I've had a VERY long and arduous battle with drugs over the years and Layne had quickly become a cautionary tale as well as a distant companion for every stage of my self destruction and subsequent recovery. Here I sit, two years sober and watching this video enables me to feel a great sense of gratitude as well as loss for the beautiful artist that Layne was. I thank him often.
3:43 I can feel the pain in his voice and body language. He is the the only singer IMO who doesn't sing for fame or fortune. Singing is an extension of himself. You are missed Layne!
I wonder in those last few years as he wasted away on his couch playing video games and shooting up all Alone if he ever hummed this tune to himself...........it would have been something to look into his mind during that time as he headed towards his maker with no power to alter his fate .
Astonishing he made it here another seven years after this show. From what I've read after 98 or 99 he rarely was even seen by family or friends. Just the cat connection and pizza guy. This music speaks to how abjectly lonely this place is even when ppl are around.
I wish I could have seen him in person. It’s the craziest thing to explain.. feeling so deeply for someone the way I do for Layne. Reaches your soul with his through his voice❤
I was 22 years old when this album came out and I remember feeling as if it brought me into another dimension especially with all alone - river of deceit and wake up- and this is when I discovered meditation; he also got me through very dark times ! It truly is a miracle I am alive (now 45) Layne is now with my niece Mia who recently transitioned at age 28 ; when I showed Mad season to her at age 25 she fell in love , No other voice like Laynes ; the frequencies are that of healing ; to balance our chakras
I discovered them in 95. I don’t know anything was getting radio air play. I bought the album(first CD I ever bought and still have:), till this day it spins in my cars CD player. Got my 15 year old into them too. I remember come down off of drugs in 95-97 after a night of raving........this was the album we played as guilt/self pity and hope of a new day was born every Sunday morning as we drove home to each go to church or bed.
Man that song really hits you in your soul especially if your suffering from depression , it’s beautiful with hardly any words he expresses what may be some of his most touching music and that is saying a lot when it’s Layne Staley your talking about ! It really makes me fell emotional every time I hear or see this !
They never disapoint.. seriously not one bad song from this AMAZING GROUP!. Definitely not feeling "All Alone" with all the AWESOME MAD SEASON fans in here ;) YOU ROCK BIGTIME!
Will I ever be able to listen to this without sobbing? Between Mike's gorgeous mural of sound and Layne's heartbreaking vocals, it's overwhelming. This was something special. I'm so grateful to have been alive to experience it, even if I wasn't there in person.
When Mike smiles, it's just amazing! I think it's so sweet how he put this group together to try to encourage getting and staying clean....naive, but so very sweet.
Can you imagine being here live that night and hearing this. Frking magical. When I go on long drives which I sometimes do to get sht out, I can play this over and over. Unspeakable emotions. Miss these guys. They helped me process emotions I never could with words. Incredibly talented and beautiful human beings regardless of Laynes addictions. Just good humans.
I don't.Of course extreme sad that we lost him.But when I listening this song (too),what I feel...just beautiful,angelic.And Layne beautiful too,inside & outside to me!
I'm so glad and feel blessed to at least get to see him here, feels like he is with me.. and this is HAUNTINGLY beautiful.. beyond. Love him to death.. that " Ahhhhhhhhh" kills me.
Why does it still hurt so much to see him? 😢 Oh, Layne... You are truly missed. Your music & Your voice was a big/important part of my adolescense during the 90's 😢❤💔
Seriously one of my fave Layne songs ever, just because of the way he made the attitude and atmosphere feel like, like he was letting us in to a very private moment. Them "ahhhh's" and "we're all alone", especially at the end, gave me proper goosebumps. I actually writ a similar song to this because it influenced me so much, because sometimes you don't need a thousand words to describe your feelings, just a few, and a loud warm voice. Layne had it all. R.I.P
This is exactly how I like to remember Layne. The gentleness, the fragility and vulnerability. His soul really did shine through in this particular performance.
Damn...I do cry. Like it was yesterday. It crushes me he died and died alone. Everyone wants him back so bad!!! His voice in this song is angelic from another dimension.
If I had been there I would have been the one in the audience holding up a lighter to this song. A beautiful song indeed yet so sad...we are all feeling so alone without you Layne 💔 rest in peace angel as you are no longer alone in this cruel would
Some people conjure feelings of depression from this song. To the right people, this can be one of the most potent love songs ever. The fact he uses the plural form ("we") for being alone I tend to agree with the love song aspect.
When I first heard the "Aaaahhhh", I burst into tears. Layne is such an influence on my life and his voice I listen to. Such an angelic voice. RIP Layne Staley.
It pains me that he’s gone, such a beautiful voice, it pains me that so many loved him and yet addiction swallowed him and he died alone. I hate that. 💔 His voice was epic. A legend forever.
he didn't die alone he secluded himself but he was never truly alone I think anyone that knew him friends or family tried everything sometimes there is nothing you can do but love them from a distance but layne never died alone he was loved by all that knew him and he knew it but chose to self isolate but was always loved and everything possible was done and more
@@nerradreknoy4729 totally agree. He isolated himself but he knew his friends and family loved him. Some times it’s just hard to stay. It’s sounds like he was in a lot of pain. Drug addiction is a very lonely ride. On a happier note, I hope, and I think he knew, how much his music touched so many and still does. I’m sure he’s found peace and is with Demi. As well as Chris,Kurt,Andy, Scott, Baker and the many others from that era that left us too soon. He’s been gone almost 2 decades and I still listen to and love his music in both his bands.
DISCLAIMER: watching this video may cause intense emotional pain and be triggering. I almost had to turn it off when Layne started singing. Layne's voice gets me every time. It's soooo beautiful, so raw, and so filled with pain. I was a teen in the 90s and honestly don't know if I'd be here without AIC and Mad Season. This music is truly a gift.
In a word, masterpiece. And just for anyone who didn't know, there is an available 2 CD, 1 DVD version available titled, Mad Season Deluxe...a must have for every Layne Staley fan. 🤙
Always loved his voice. So much emotion. I met him a few times in the early years, when I was living in Bremerton. He was a kind person. An old soul. He was never the same, after the death of Demri. I can feel his pain in this song. He was such a vulnerable person and it shows in his music. His lyrics. A kind sould.
A friend of mine knew Layne and Demri very well and he said Layne was a great guy, someone who was well-liked by his friends. Down to earth. And yes, when Demri died it broke his heart.
Looked at the Billboard Top 100 list earlier just for fun and now I feel it's my life's purpose to find a way to wake society up and make a way for real musicians to prosper and bring the magic back
My favorite Layne Stay--please STAY... Song, EVER! MAD SEASON, Alice, any one of them... Makes my soul still and stay put... My mind. Over the decades. Love you bros... I have none left now. All gone. Love the ones you had... We're all alone but we're all here, together. Never alone again.
This is Class, Seattle was the main place for the greatest of Artists in the 90’s in the States, we had Manchester… Good then 90’s had the best Music from now too then… It was just the excess that done them in… That fucking dope got a lot to answer for alright…. RIP Lanye, Kurt, Andrew Wood, Kristin Pfaf🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I always listened to a lot of music, and I had favorite bands, artists that I admire. but I never felt for anyone what I feel for layne, it's strange. but knowing how he died hurts my soul
Yeah,I got it.Bc Layne... just Layne, one of a kind,and very,very good soul and person certainly. I could tell,write so many pages of Him,but not necessary, so many ppl wrote about Layne, so...He's an angel(now and always was on the ground too),I understand You.But You should trying let how He died(yes,sad and hurt)I think,and focusing His beautiful music what He left for us.Sorry,just so many ppl wrote in the comment section His drug use,how He died,etc.I think Layne more than His addiction, etc.Trust me,I play His songs(AIC, Mad Season,etc)and these objects always appearing below in the comments. Nah, that hurts Me,cause Layne's legacy deserve better than that(like junkie,etc,too much reading,my bad).I'm really glad how You feel for Layne!Amazing Man!Oh,sorry,this too long,and If I made a big mistakes sorry again,not my native language.God Bless You! :)
Agnes Szajko haha that’s ok. I don’t think he was a bad person or a junkie (but he was) it’s just I feel so bad seeing how he becames in nothing. He was so powerful singing in Facelift and then he just died alone and that make me feel deeply sad. I lately was reading a blog about he and demri writing from a friend of them call Barbara. Tells a lot of stories
@Maria Emilia Diluca Haltrich Yes, You could feel & see what this shit did and consumed Him. Idk, what's wrong? with me,bc what I saw(concerts,unplugged too)and heard when Layne appeared these features: beautiful(his voice too).That's it.I never noticed his face color or how skiny and fragile He was in Unplugged for example. Really.Then I started reading comments etc,and this ruined my whole 'Layne world'. Yeah,I knew everything what He done,but I can't saw that on him.I know,it's strange but..so personally I'm glad bc I was blind so many years,and more than grateful that we couldn't see his final years(looks,soul..).I finally read the AIC book (David de la sola )& awful to me.Deeply sad and I can't take those feelings, very hard book.Barbara?I don't remember her name,read or something.. I think.Can You send a link to me? :) I'll never get enough of Layne, so I wanna read a lot of story!Please! ;) And You know,sorry my bad english again!I just hope You'll understand what I tried to say.
So sad a beautiful masterpiece that will be remembered through the sands of time as this is.. this is probably the ONLY real time to see how bad he really was, from the covered hands, the skin sores, the rotted teeth.. those close ups are hauntingly depressing. Such a legendary voice coming out of this badly broken down vessel.. seen too many take that path.
In 95 I started my CD collection. I remember the first two albums I bought at the same time: Hum-“you’d prefer an astronaut”, & Mad Season “above”. I still have those albums and listen to them today. In my opinion, the 90s was the peak of rock music.
I have been listening to this on loop throughout the night and it’s the only thing that helps with my anxiety and insomnia lately. Somehow it feels like he’s protecting me. We miss you so fucking much Layne. Most beautiful voice in the world.
I have to listen to him alot, his artistry was perfection in every sense of his music, miss him!! When are we going to hear some music like the 90's putting out in the 21st century!! The music of today isn't that great, alot of the Angel's are gone!!⚘
I always find it strange how I can feel so connected to someone I will never get the chance to meet. Beautiful soul!
I think so many people feel that way about Layne, I know I do. The pain is so so deep..you can just feel it!
I'm right here with you on that ❤ I feel the same way tbh. Rest in peace sweet angel... 💖😭
I know what you all mean. I understand you, really! cause feel the same.
Oh I know, I wish I could have met Layne. Such a sweet spirit☺
Yes, feel the same way, he just have that gift, very special and beautiful man..
Hands down the most memorable concert of my life....we were front row center I was 22 years old and I still to this day felt Staleys voice and lyrics flowing through me...
Every time I watch this and listen....it brings me back to one of my favorite moments in life of all time...
RIP to the GOAT...Best vocals ever IMO
Mike camlin that is amazing. I would love to hear the story sometime.
@@melissanowlin8832
Anytime !!!
Would be happy to share the story :)
When the Magic happens at a live Performance it's , Something Else.
It's incredible to experience.
That had to be something that words can’t describe
Thanks for sharing. Best vocals IMO too. Legend. All of them. So happy for you that you got to be there!
I’m just grateful they filmed this show and it looks, sounds and feels like Laynes back and Alive again! This show is one of the best recordings of him and will be part of his legacy!
What a magical night that was! I can feel it just from watching this on TH-cam!
Amen !!
*Dyn Jarren this live version is better than the album version no doubt glad I grew up to this music. Being a teenager when this came out was truly amazing RIP LAYNE*
Yes!!!! ❤️ He is amazing!
Layne had a unique voice you cannot replicate or replace.
Layne Staley's vocal range (5 octaves, 3 notes, 1 semitone) can run rings around any other grunge singer (including Chris Cornell) in my opinion. Layne could sing the phone book and never hit a wrong note. Even at the end of his life, with no teeth and a lisp, his voice, wit and humor were all still there. Layne's voice and vocal range was so powerful he did NOT need auto tune or pro-tools until he lost his teeth and had a lisp around 1998, and even then he still killed the vocals.
Barrett Martin (who played with Layne in Mad Season) said that when he stood to the side of the stage, he could hear the sound of Layne’s vocal resonance come out of Layne's body LOUDER than it did coming out of the speakers, Layne's voice was that powerful.
I feel the same way...especially the mtv unplugged.
Layne's voice in this song gives me chills. So haunting & beautiful.
He had more heart and soul in his *Ahhhhh* and *we're all alone* lines than most musicians today do in their entire discographies.
Also, Barrett Martin with the hand drums was awesome.
Hamarti a absolutely
Yeah,it's true.
Amen
Because he felt it to the full extent of the emotion and that's true music..so few lyrics and I cry every time I hear this..
Just makes me cry. For so many reasons. He was immensely beautiful and 100% true. LEGEND RIP Layne & Demri 💔😪🕯⌛🤟
3:43 The pain in his voice and his body language here always hits me right in the heart. RIP Layne and Baker🥺😥💔
We all have demons such a story!!! I used to get messed up to all his music A&C , Mad Season. To me he's the greatest ever. I don't want to b another flunkie so I got sober 9 yrs going on 10 not a drop. Thank you Layne
@@timothybaldridge6815 Congratulations 👏🏻💜👏🏻
Thank you for that
Layne’s voice had the power of reaching into our souls, we may never see another vocalist like him
I believe Barret Martin the drummer tells a story of a good friend of his driving while listening to this album with his child in back seat. All alone comes on and the child says, daddy is that an angel singing, brought a tear to my eye, Mike McCready said it was suppose to be an instrumental and they came back to the studio and Layne had laid down these vocals, enough said.....beautiful!
Aw this made me cry! 😭💔
Awww :')
😭😭😭
This made me tear up. His was and will always be a perfect Angel. How many souls he has touched is amazing. Out of the mouth of babes❤
Layne was an absolute _assassin_ in the studio. A true recording prodigy. Dude had such a supernatural ability to understand and create intricate vocal harmonies and arrange them and capture them on tape. Alice In Chains album's vocals are like a rich woven tapestry of subtlety with an astounding attention to detail. And the crazy part about it is, if you read interviews with producers like Toby Wright or Dave Jerden, they all say that actually tended to work very quickly and efficiently in the studio; knowing exactly what he wanted ahead of time and exactly what needed to be done to achieve it. That type of arrangement chops and musical awareness is a damn rare thing from a vocalist.
We're not alone. We're surrounded by awesome Mad Season fans.
So True!
A R Good to see you too dude. 👍
And Alice In Chains fans
They're new to me, but, like everything Layne touched, I've completely fallen in love. I'm just so very sad (and angry) that he and they couldn't put out a sophomore album. They were just getting their groove...it would have been a monster.
3:43 His voice and his body language break my heart. He is the only singer who can touch my soul with his amazing emotional voice. Such a soul-stirring voice he had. Layne you will always be missed.
All the great ones go way too soon. Just really getting into Mad Season now and I'm so glad there's recordings of them performing. What a treat to be able see and hear!!
Him and Jeff Buckley are the most incredible male vocalists I’ve ever heard
I think he is crying when he runs his hand through his hair. He is singing about “alone”, but he isn’t alone in crying.
@@dranyamnaneek6597think so 😢 so heartbreaking 💔
I've had a VERY long and arduous battle with drugs over the years and Layne had quickly become a cautionary tale as well as a distant companion for every stage of my self destruction and subsequent recovery. Here I sit, two years sober and watching this video enables me to feel a great sense of gratitude as well as loss for the beautiful artist that Layne was. I thank him often.
What a beautiful story, God bless you, very inspiring ❤️💜
Keep going bro
❤️❤️❤️
Ditto!!!
Still sober. And still returning to watch this vid regularly. Layne's inspired me to perform some music of my own now.
3:43 I can feel the pain in his voice and body language. He is the the only singer IMO who doesn't sing for fame or fortune. Singing is an extension of himself. You are missed Layne!
Yea, he never cared for fame
I can see and feel it to. He was an amazing soul and talent.
❤
The only singer ever? OK...
This album was like going to another realm...just beautiful.
Imagine, its 1995 and your friend leaves a message on your machine "bro I got Mad Season tickets, meet me at the Moore tonight".
I give vary part of body for this live
Soooo beautiful, warm, pure like a hug for the People that are alone
I wonder in those last few years as he wasted away on his couch playing video games and shooting up all Alone if he ever hummed this tune to himself...........it would have been something to look into his mind during that time as he headed towards his maker with no power to alter his fate .
Astonishing he made it here another seven years after this show. From what I've read after 98 or 99 he rarely was even seen by family or friends. Just the cat connection and pizza guy. This music speaks to how abjectly lonely this place is even when ppl are around.
@@jeffreybeshears8211 your last sentence is so very true
teluride Bravo I could use a huge Layne hug after that......
I get it.lonlyness is hard when you strugle mentaly....
he sounded like an angel... R.I.P. Layne 🤍
who else rewound it to 3:46 a million times? This is some ethereal, otherworldly sounding haunting vocals
Man I cannot stop crying. We’re all alone. Love you so much Layne.
I wish I could have seen him in person. It’s the craziest thing to explain.. feeling so deeply for someone the way I do for Layne. Reaches your soul with his through his voice❤
He has the voice of an angel 😇. Be at Peace, Layne. 💗 Thank you for making music you FEEL.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was 22 years old when this album came out and I remember feeling as if it brought me into another dimension especially with all alone - river of deceit and wake up- and this is when I discovered meditation; he also got me through very dark times ! It truly is a miracle I am alive (now 45) Layne is now with my niece Mia who recently transitioned at age 28 ; when I showed Mad season to her at age 25 she fell in love , No other voice like Laynes ; the frequencies are that of healing ; to balance our chakras
very well put together katherine. i can only imagine what it felt like listening to layne for the first time.
I discovered them in 95. I don’t know anything was getting radio air play. I bought the album(first CD I ever bought and still have:), till this day it spins in my cars CD player. Got my 15 year old into them too.
I remember come down off of drugs in 95-97 after a night of raving........this was the album we played as guilt/self pity and hope of a new day was born every Sunday morning as we drove home to each go to church or bed.
This is utterly flawless. I had to double check this was live.
The voice....is it really live?
@@DerekWymoning Yea, it's a live concert
This performance is beyond superior to the album version.
And I've listened to Above over and over countless times.
Talk about lighting up an entire room! Layne, I have never seen darkness shine as bright as you.
Many many thanks for saying that!
✨🪄💫
Layne🧡🪔
Man that song really hits you in your soul especially if your suffering from depression , it’s beautiful with hardly any words he expresses what may be some of his most touching music and that is saying a lot when it’s Layne Staley your talking about ! It really makes me fell emotional every time I hear or see this !
We are all alone without Layne 💔
A beautiful angel singing from heaven 😇🌈💙
RIP 🌹⚘🌹⚘🌹
1995 the year my father shot himself. AIC and Mad Season, music you feel. Thank you Layne for leaving us all your voice, the best.
Sob story is irrelevant mate just listen to the music.
@@Randomblurbz sad cunt lmao have some empathy you useless fuck
A song like no other...No words, just me and my soul with Layne's haunting voice. Extra feels! Thank you!!!💜
They never disapoint.. seriously not one bad song from this AMAZING GROUP!.
Definitely not feeling "All Alone" with all the AWESOME MAD SEASON fans in here ;)
YOU ROCK BIGTIME!
FUKN Right! 🤘
How can his voice be so powerful?
What a beautiful song.. I love it when it looks like Mike is looking at Layne and can't help but smile...
Mad Season provided the outlet for Layne to showcase his extraordinary vocal skills. RIP man
Will I ever be able to listen to this without sobbing? Between Mike's gorgeous mural of sound and Layne's heartbreaking vocals, it's overwhelming. This was something special. I'm so grateful to have been alive to experience it, even if I wasn't there in person.
When Mike smiles, it's just amazing! I think it's so sweet how he put this group together to try to encourage getting and staying clean....naive, but so very sweet.
Listening to Layne's voice while going through hard times always helps
Exactly why I am here
This group was special...
Can you imagine being here live that night and hearing this. Frking magical. When I go on long drives which I sometimes do to get sht out, I can play this over and over. Unspeakable emotions. Miss these guys. They helped me process emotions I never could with words. Incredibly talented and beautiful human beings regardless of Laynes addictions. Just good humans.
Lost my mum 2 weeks ago. Listening to this song, I am in tears...
Sob story is irrelevant thankyou
@@Randomblurbz if that is the case why don't you just scroll down.
I listen to Layne every damn day and still cry especially when he's with Mad Season
Laynes voice has ripped my heart out of my chest again. Still beating, still sad, still mine.
I've got chill for this one and extreme sad feeling for Layne. May god be with you.
Rattikorn Gouweleeuw I feel that same extreme sadness watching. It’s deep!😭💔
I don't.Of course extreme sad that we lost him.But when I listening this song (too),what I feel...just beautiful,angelic.And Layne beautiful too,inside & outside to me!

Oh, Layne... You are truly missed. Your music & Your voice was a big/important part of my adolescense during the 90's 😢❤💔

Ain't no Therapy like Staley Therapy. A must have under this roof.
Amen!!!!
That aaaaaahhhhhhaaaaa always does it. His Vocals are the best I've heard in my life time
I can barely stand to watch it and see his beautiful pained face singing perfection
Layne, you were incomparable
Such a beautiful song with so few words! Layne's voice is just enough!!!!!!!
its one of the greatest things I've ever heard. this CD got me through rehab
Life is a lonely ride! But Mad Season always accompanied me! Beautiful! RIP🌹

2023 forever with Layne😢
I am not A conspicuous kinda person I don't believe that A genius and such A beautiful soul is GONE he ducked out!!!❤😢❤
Layne's vocals pull you in..take you on a journey..then leave you wanting more..hauntingly beautiful
Music like this will never be made again. Like this song very elegant simple and beautiful and very hard not to wanna cry when u hear it.
Damn...I do cry. Like it was yesterday. It crushes me he died and died alone. Everyone wants him back so bad!!! His voice in this song is angelic from another dimension.
Crying today listening to his voice.
this song is so beautiful. layne may you rest in peace. we miss you brother ❤
The only musician I sat down and cried when I found out he died and listened to this one and 22 years later Im still doing it ✌️
Brings me to tears every time!

@@nerradreknoy4729 totally agree. He isolated himself but he knew his friends and family loved him. Some times it’s just hard to stay. It’s sounds like he was in a lot of pain. Drug addiction is a very lonely ride. On a happier note, I hope, and I think he knew, how much his music touched so many and still does. I’m sure he’s found peace and is with Demi. As well as Chris,Kurt,Andy, Scott, Baker and the many others from that era that left us too soon. He’s been gone almost 2 decades and I still listen to and love his music in both his bands.
DISCLAIMER: watching this video may cause intense emotional pain and be triggering. I almost had to turn it off when Layne started singing. Layne's voice gets me every time. It's soooo beautiful, so raw, and so filled with pain. I was a teen in the 90s and honestly don't know if I'd be here without AIC and Mad Season. This music is truly a gift.
Oh shut up thats a ridiculous thing to say even by your standards.
It’s painful but a trigger warning is a bit rich lol
In a word, masterpiece. And just for anyone who didn't know, there is an available 2 CD, 1 DVD version available titled, Mad Season Deluxe...a must have for every Layne Staley fan. 🤙
What a dreamy like,sad , beautiful,,wanting,, calming yet anxiety-inducing soundscape by McCready and everybody..
Always loved his voice. So much emotion. I met him a few times in the early years, when I was living in Bremerton. He was a kind person. An old soul. He was never the same, after the death of Demri. I can feel his pain in this song. He was such a vulnerable person and it shows in his music. His lyrics. A kind sould.
A friend of mine knew Layne and Demri very well and he said Layne was a great guy, someone who was well-liked by his friends. Down to earth. And yes, when Demri died it broke his heart.
@@kimekelleydid your friend tell you how Layne started using heroin? I guess he was not happy 😢
Ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhhh says a 1,000 words, so deep!😭💔♥️
Looked at the Billboard Top 100 list earlier just for fun and now I feel it's my life's purpose to find a way to wake society up and make a way for real musicians to prosper and bring the magic back
My heart aches when I listen to the song. What a precious precious soul he is.
My favorite Layne Stay--please STAY... Song, EVER! MAD SEASON, Alice, any one of them... Makes my soul still and stay put... My mind. Over the decades. Love you bros... I have none left now. All gone.
Love the ones you had... We're all alone but we're all here, together. Never alone again.
Our Creator is here, with us, incorporeal bliss...
This is Class, Seattle was the main place for the greatest of Artists in the 90’s in the States, we had Manchester… Good then 90’s had the best Music from now too then… It was just the excess that done them in… That fucking dope got a lot to answer for alright…. RIP Lanye, Kurt, Andrew Wood, Kristin Pfaf🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful sound and Layne's voice is AMAZING !! No one like Layne ..
Layne was so real with his feelings. Listening to him is such a beautiful experience to be honest his music changed me so much
I can feel his pain and i want to cry
I do frequently
I'm crying too
Tanja Bogosavljevic I just got overwhelmed by emotions for some reason
I’m crying listening to him today. His voice is really triggering something in me. His deep sadness echoes through my soul.
Tears my heart apart.
Rips me apart
I’m overwhelmed with emotions each time i listen to it and put myself there .
The first Christmas without my only friend. I miss you mom. Thank you, Layne.
Layne’s beautiful, penetrating voice. There will never be another like him. Named my baby girl after him. ❤️
This song hits different during the middle of winter time 😮💨
An angel singing on earth…

This song always gets me. Always.
I always listened to a lot of music, and I had favorite bands, artists that I admire. but I never felt for anyone what I feel for layne, it's strange. but knowing how he died hurts my soul
Yeah,I got it.Bc Layne... just Layne, one of a kind,and very,very good soul and person certainly. I could tell,write so many pages of Him,but not necessary, so many ppl wrote about Layne, so...He's an angel(now and always was on the ground too),I understand You.But You should trying let how He died(yes,sad and hurt)I think,and focusing His beautiful music what He left for us.Sorry,just so many ppl wrote in the comment section His drug use,how He died,etc.I think Layne more than His addiction, etc.Trust me,I play His songs(AIC, Mad Season,etc)and these objects always appearing below in the comments. Nah, that hurts Me,cause Layne's legacy deserve better than that(like junkie,etc,too much reading,my bad).I'm really glad how You feel for Layne!Amazing Man!Oh,sorry,this too long,and If I made a big mistakes sorry again,not my native language.God Bless You! :)
Agnes Szajko haha that’s ok. I don’t think he was a bad person or a junkie (but he was) it’s just I feel so bad seeing how he becames in nothing. He was so powerful singing in Facelift and then he just died alone and that make me feel deeply sad. I lately was reading a blog about he and demri writing from a friend of them call Barbara. Tells a lot of stories
@Maria Emilia Diluca Haltrich Yes, You could feel & see what this shit did and consumed Him. Idk, what's wrong? with me,bc what I saw(concerts,unplugged too)and heard when Layne appeared these features: beautiful(his voice too).That's it.I never noticed his face color or how skiny and fragile He was in Unplugged for example. Really.Then I started reading comments etc,and this ruined my whole 'Layne world'. Yeah,I knew everything what He done,but I can't saw that on him.I know,it's strange but..so personally I'm glad bc I was blind so many years,and more than grateful that we couldn't see his final years(looks,soul..).I finally read the AIC book (David de la sola )& awful to me.Deeply sad and I can't take those feelings, very hard book.Barbara?I don't remember her name,read or something.. I think.Can You send a link to me? :) I'll never get enough of Layne, so I wanna read a lot of story!Please! ;) And You know,sorry my bad english again!I just hope You'll understand what I tried to say.
@Maria Emilia Diluca Haltrich Thank You very much! :)
I feel the same way. Very strange. Never felt connected to an artist like I do Layne.
Holy shit this is amazing. Never heard this Mad Season gem
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Ever.
Such a beautiful soul.
Such a tragic ending.
Rest in power, Layne.
Forever missed ♡
So sad a beautiful masterpiece that will be remembered through the sands of time as this is.. this is probably the ONLY real time to see how bad he really was, from the covered hands, the skin sores, the rotted teeth.. those close ups are hauntingly depressing. Such a legendary voice coming out of this badly broken down vessel.. seen too many take that path.
My therapy. Every day, you will be remembered Layne💜
I’ll personally put the view count up a couple million. Such an amazing human being. One of the few, one of the best!
Ugh! My heart. We really lost a huge talent. Beautiful.
In 95 I started my CD collection. I remember the first two albums I bought at the same time: Hum-“you’d prefer an astronaut”, & Mad Season “above”. I still have those albums and listen to them today.
In my opinion, the 90s was the peak of rock music.
Beautiful song! His voice is angelic
.
Layney is what he was and is 🥀
To beautiful
I have been listening to this on loop throughout the night and it’s the only thing that helps with my anxiety and insomnia lately. Somehow it feels like he’s protecting me.
We miss you so fucking much Layne.
Most beautiful voice in the world.
How can you not love Layne man, Damn
I have to listen to him alot, his artistry was perfection in every sense of his music, miss him!! When are we going to hear some music like the 90's putting out in the 21st century!! The music of today isn't that great, alot of the Angel's are gone!!⚘
I'd say that this and Nutshell really hit home. This guy was an enigma.
3 words speak so loud. We miss you Layne. Thank you so fucking much. For everything
