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 ❤

@brie6889

6y↑780

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 YouTube comment section is all the comfort you need sometimes when life gets hard

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!

@motherofhounds3837

46w↑11

@@Ep0nz You know what? Addicts are the lowest of the low sometimes. The thing is, they are still people and they can change and they can atone for the things they did wrong. It's really difficult to be the loved one of an addict. Think about Layne's Mom, she found him 2 weeks after he died. Layne systematically set up his life so he could feed his addiction and die on his own terms. That's really selfish too.Layne was a very sick man but I love him to this day and always will. Ryan understands all of this. Seems to me the only person who doesn't understand this, is you.
I am an addict in long term recovery, I just celebrated 9 years on May 12th. I am still, all these years later, gaining back trust and respect of the people I hurt the most. Nobody thinks as a kid "When I grow up, I want to be a heroin addict". You have no clue what Layne would want. None whatsoever.
