This is a tribute to Layne Staley, Jerry's best friend, co-founder of Alice in Chains. Jerry was devastated by Layne's death. Aic didn't perform for years after Layne passed in 2002. Jerry hung onto the memory of Layne for a long time and didn't do anything with the band or music. And then he realized that he could say goodbye to Layne, and move forward. Always respecting Layne and his contributions to making aic the amazing force it is. Black (darkness and sadness) gives way to blue (new beginning). It's time for Layne to rest. And Jerry (and the rest of us) will never forget Layne. Ever.

Love this song. Jerry Cantrell is a phenomenal song writer, lyrics so deep and meaningful. The music industry is a very cut throat business and no one really cares about the individuals, it's all about money. This song reveals the struggles Jerry and aic have gone through and talks about how through it all, they are still here, they are still relevant and that they don't make 'em like they used to.

Feel that this song was also written for Layne (like Black Gives Way to Blue). I feel it talks about that there was finally hope to move forward after Layne's death and the knowledge that things were never going to be the same as they were before. But after things settled. Jerry wanted to live again and do what he was born to do. Write and perform music. I'm so glad. ♥.
