I don’t blame him for ending up the way he did, considering his life experiences. Which is sad for his friends, family & the music industry. Some, like the lead singer of Alice in Chains, I don’t think wanted saving. That quirk aside, Jar of Flies is a low-key stunner, achingly gorgeous and harrowingly sorrowful all at once. But these past few years have given me many things & one of those things is an appreciation that there are so many colours in the spectrum & not everything is as black & white as drugs & addicts are not worth at least attempting to understand & help. Written and recorded in about a week, Jar of Flies solidified Alice in Chains somewhat bizarre pattern of alternating full-length hard rock albums with mostly acoustic, ballad-oriented EPs. We don’t want that for our loved ones but wouldn’t it be better to find out why someone does any of the above, rather than just slate the person? Im not a user of drugs or alcohol (except prescribed pain killers) btw. I get that people don’t want that around their lives & for their loved ones, but its very easy to become a lost soul & try to find yourself in anything, be that drink, drugs, self harm, etc. He just knows that he is meant to despise drug users. I heard someone recently say, “whats the loss in a junky” & I say, fuck him. The sadness of their story & the lost of the lead singer & his artistic ability still shining through despite his loss & addiction is admirable. My own stupidity cost me years of enjoying a bands brilliance. Recent live events have given me a lot of free time in recent years & recently ‘discovered’ that I was far too hasty by dismissing them, & have been enjoying their music as much as I ever did with Nirvana & Pearl Jam. Alice In Chains Lyrics Dirt - Alice in Chains is a hard rock band that was formed in 1987 in Seattle, Washington, United States. Weirdly, living through Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc, era, I always just overlooked Alice in Chains because I heard one of their tunes & I wasn’t overly impressed by them. Alice In Chains has published a new song entitled Dirt taken from the album Dirt and we are pleased to show you the lyrics and the translation.
