    Lyrics:
    We chase misprinted lies
    We face the path of time
    And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone
    No one to cry to, no place to call home
    Ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh

As I was listening to this song he told me how Layne Staley was found by his mother after an OD and I can honestly say there isn't not 1 other song out there that catches me like this.

    As a Marine coming home from Iraq in 2004 and having my family fall apart almost immediately, I listened to this song and the rest of their unplugged set every day alone in my apartment as I rebuilt my life from scratch. This song SAVED MY LIFE. It reminded me of what true beauty could be if I kept fighting and never gave up. Thank you Layne and thank you AIC. Thank you dearly. And to anyone reading this who's fighting demons of any kind, keep fighting the good fight, keep hanging on. It will not always be this way. Don't let this world harden your heart, believe in yourself and above all, live with love and humility ALWAYS. S/F.

      Thank you very much, however I'm no hero, but I was lucky enough to know and stand beside many. And I've fucked things up way more than I've ever won. It's not how many times we fall, but how many times we've stood back up. I was depressed and suicidal after the war and after loosing my family and gained almost 80 pounds in a year or so. Now I manage a chain of gyms and am in better shape than when I was in the military. The story of your life is not written in your failures, for in failing there are lessons to learn but only if you keep your heart open. It's not easy but it is worth it. Train yourself to look for and find the good in any situation. The thing itself is not bad, only our perception of the thing, once we are able to stand back and look from different perspectives we will realize the power to change the thing, obesity, depression, whatever it may be, exists inside of us. Everything you need to succeed and be happy is already inside you. I know it sounds corny but I swear it's the truth. Infinite potential exists within all of us. This is why it's so important to believe in yourself. Others will quit on you. It's just part of life. But you must never quit on yourself.

All the help was there. But he was too depressed to accept it. I am not mad at him for hanging himself. I'm an alcoholic as well, and I'm in active recovery; I'm 96 days clean and sober. I'll show my brother's 9 month old daughter (my beautiful niece) how much he loved her through always being there for her. That baby is mine now. She will not grow up without a father figure if I have anything to do about it.

      It might not exist anymore, but it did. I grew up in Seattle in the 80s and 90s, and Layne's voice in Nutshell and River of Deceit especially captures the feel of Seattle of those times. There was a sense of quiet melancholy in the area before tech came in and changed it dramatically. There will never be a way to go back to those times, but at least they still survive in the memories of those of us that were there, and through the voice of Layne Staley.

      Your idea of a beautiful, human and amazing musical artist is just that. It's "Yours." Although, it's narcissistic to judge a world of humans based solely on your love, your need and your opinions. Yes, he was talented. A talented individual who had everything a young wanna-be artist dreams of, accept the will and strength to "Live." He is the last individual I would want my children to aspire to be. I'm not taking away anything from this young man, or disrespecting his life, or achievements in any way. He did all the damage upon himself by taking his own life and giving up.

    I discovered Nutshell at the peak of my depression. Nothing felt right. I had no motivation, no idea what I was doing with my life and no real emotional support from a neglectful family that I did not understand was neglectful at the time. This song reached deep down into the pit of my soul. I will always remember that day when I was unable to leave my bed and just cried endlessly to this song. It was both the darkest day of my life and the catalyst for finally fighting back. "If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead" lit a fire in me. I desperately wanted to find the value in my life. Life is still so tough til this day, but a decade after I found this song, I am so much stronger and grateful for what I have rather than fixated on what I don't. Layne helped me save my life. I am "my own" now more than ever.
