    When I first heard Ryan sing this song, I was homeless after my children were taken by the state. I didn't have anything left in me to fight but I wasn't ready to give up. Here I am 15 months later, I signed a lease for an apartment for a year with enough room for my children. I still see them three times a week and Im fighting harder than I ever have for them. I managed to keep employment even though I lived in my car for 5 months. Thank you for your help to inspire me through this song and ur music.
    Update: My 6 year old with be back in my custody full time on October 20, 2020. I have been fighting so hard but its so worth the fight. He has been with me 4 days a week.I'm still fighting for the others and it shouldnt be long. Thank you for all the positive comments. I really appreciate all the love and support. For you assholes that said negative comments or said I was a junkie, it was actually because of their father. He was an alcoholic, I had no choice but to leave my children with him while I went to work! DCF was notified that my children were in the care of an alcoholic and they were taken the next day. Its been about 2 years and I'm closer than ever to getting my children back ❤

      I am 39yrs old, I totally understand what your saying. These songs I lived , loved, and made memories to growing up!
      Oh how I wish, I could just have some of that feeling back that these songs bring out in me! A Time, A place, A smell, A memory.... When you close your eyes and your there again.. you see the past, your living it for a split second. You can get lost in it, but then you open your eyes and realize "that was a piece of the good world, the good life, you'll never be there again or have those feelings the exact way again. When a writer and a song can Rush your body, full of emotions and bring that out in you WOW.! Job well done!

    My dad was my best friend. He passed away on May 8, 2010 to an overdose. I was 17. Today, July 16, 2018 would be his 53rd birthday.
    He loved Layne Staley, and I grew up around this music playing constantly: we lived outdoors for the most part; camping, hiking, fishing, etc. His last few years, he lived in a trailer park in Snohomish, WA, and I was away from him mostly because of my mom.
    But when I was with him, we spent so much time around the fire at the river, with our fishing poles in the water, our Mexican buddies lighting up joints, all of us just having a blast. Every time I hear this song I'm instantly brought back to the river, to the bonfires, to a comforting memory of my father holding me closely as a teenager, a kid.
    I really love this.
    Update: 2020 this song still brings me to tears every time ❤️ amazing I've found the community of love in a CZcams comment section is all the comfort you need sometimes when life gets hard

      But I can say that cover was an excellent idea executed perfectly. Nice.

I'm coming up on my 1 year celebration of recovery from IV Heroin and Fentanyl and this song is what got me through the worst of my detox and mental battle for months after getting clean. I quit cold turkey and vanished from the earth to try and give myself one last chance at freedom and this song kept me pushing.
    Thank you Upchurch. Your cover gives me chills like I just heard it for the first time every single time I listen to it. It's a multiple times a day thing for me now! 🙏😇💯❤️💪

What I hate is there are so many people who somehow don't hear it even when it's aggressive as hell like this.

    Coming back here 12 years later (different account of course) but still, you did this so well Upchurch. I'm still hoping you do a collaboration with Jerry Cantrell one day. Keep thinking about it & how to get to that. It would be amazing. By the way, congratulations on yall's baby coming Church!

      +Sawtooth_Jack Lol yep, definitely found the hater. Wow you're really just trolling all of the comments on Upchurch's songs? Wow how pathetic. Seriously, get a life dude. Your OWN life. Stop worrying about other so much.

      @@evanpl0x it'll only get you so far. Sometimes we all need at least one person to support us and give us a moment to express what's going on in our mind. When you feel separated from people and felt misunderstood, it's nice to have one person to help not feel so alienated.

      @@The513Warning I do not disagree with your comment. I do however think it is important to point out that sometimes the people you trust can end up hurting you and you may feel as if "my gift of self is raped" like the lyric in the song. The tragedy of the human condition is needing to have other people there for you but in the end realizing that it was only you all along.

      @@evanpl0x I know that feeling all too well, especially being an INFJ type. Helping others get ahead simply leaves you behind a lot of times. I wish I had someone get excited about me moving ahead with my goals and hobbies as I do with those that I trusted. It's unfortunate really.
