Therapist reacts to Alice in Chains Nutshell

Therapist analyzed Nutshell by Alice In Chains to discuss the realities of depression and addiction and that how we break out of these painful cycles is one small choice at a time like one crack in a nutshell. When we focus on how overwhelming the problem is we paint our situation with choicelessness and are stuck. It’s one step at a time.

I saw a YouTube comment that said this is as close as it gets to singing at your own funeral. RIP 🫡🫡

Lane Staley was the voice of my generation. His songs and lyrics touched those who listened. An unmistakable voice. RIP Lane, we still love you everyday.

He was in a supergroup called Mad Season. They did a song called Wake Up. It was about his addiction and life. And it's beautiful.

I've had depression for 20 years and today was an especially hard day. Layne is one of the few voices that can always help me when I get like this. The algorithm just knew.

[alicaveltman]

Down in a Hole from the same show is incredible, I highly recommend it. ❤

Staley’s ability to convey emotion is unrivalled in the last 30+ years. He was a gift to us all. RIP

The entire Jar Of Flies EP that this song is on is absolutely worth your time

[cbdawg]

Layne and Jerry’s harmonies are some of the best ever

[planetcampervan]

3 voices made my grunge era ..Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell and Layne stalyey. all very emotive voices ...

I'm 6 yrs clean from opiate dependence, but I still fight depression everyday. She's right. This song describes depression and addiction perfectly.

This song sums up my life too well. No addiction issues, just a long series of neglect, abuse, and other traumatic events. Definitely leaves you with a very lonely feeling existence

[mikehawkins]

My son is addicted to drugs and these hauntingly beautiful songs by Alice In Chains help me understand what he's going through.

As an artist, Layne sang his emotions that you felt. As a singer, he had huge vocal range. Truly gifted. R.I.P. Layne

[MegaForrestgump]

I remember driving around, getting some food, smoking a little green and then heading to a friends house for this premier. We knew the issues that Layne was having with drugs and we didn't have any expectations to how well he would sing or how badly. Needless to say that we were blown away by how good this entire show was. Rest well, Layne.

[PortaPooper]

"Dont Follow" is another one to give you the feels.

😭... Layne made me cry today... He made me cry yesterday, probably gonna make me cry tomorrow..

[jasonschaub]

Notice how right before he says, "Id feel better dead" the music drops out to highlight the line. So brilliant. What a haunted man.

[discreteentropy]

A somber cry for help, and we were simply entertained. RIP to a legend.

I battled addiction and depression for years. almost three years sober now. Alice in Chains has always been one of my favourite bands and this song brings a tear to my eye every time. I can related to every word and emotion in his voice. Very powerful song and he had arguably one of the best voices of our generation.
