Alice In Chains - Heaven Beside You Lyrics






Be what you wanna be
See what you came to see
Been what you wanna be
I don't like what I see

Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you... Hell within
And you think you have it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up, and I'm not blind
I'm just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind

Do what you wanna do
Go out and seek your truth
When I'm down and blue
Rather be me than you

Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you... Hell within
And you wish you had it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up, and I'm not blind
I'm just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind

Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you... Hell within
And you know you have it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up, but You're not blind
You're just see through faded, overrated
And out of your mind

    Es una chulada de canción.......AdViEnTo.

  4. C.... M....

    Let’s all take a moment to thank Jerry! He stood by his best friend Layne through it all. Such great artists and friends..

  5. L.... ....

    J.... L....

    idk i am asking myself the same think buddy

    J.... L....

    Look up 3 comments. A song to Layne from Jerry. He can see the bad shit that happened but you dont have to go out that way. I'd rather have that pain then to see you killing your self.

  11. S.... ....

    classic...

  12. D.... F....

    The best grunge voice!!

  13. K.... H....

    Layne and Jerry's vocal harmonies is so GOOD!! They are like one voice when they are actually singing together like Paul McCartney and John Lennon

  14. S.... T....

    Michael🍀🌹

  15. O.... S....

    Fucking hell this song never gets old, even after 11 years

  16. B.... O....

    smart beautifully made rock music

  17. O.... R....

    The look at Jerry's Face... He was probably remembering her ex Girlfriend...

    O.... R....

    Orion Rahman haha fuck that bitch

    O.... R....

    @danny2phantom yep she doesn't deserve nice guy like him

    O.... R....

    Explain

  18. A.... S....

    Jerry and Layne really were fantastic together

  19. J.... R....

    Probably my favorite song from the self titled album.

  20. W.... B....

    Thank you Jerry and RIP Layne <3

  21. W.... B....

    Loved this more than the original... I cried so hard... <3

    W.... B....

    Check your estrogen levels there sir.

    W.... B....

    @Jay P There you are! I was wondering when you'd show up.

    W.... B....

    @Wayne Blackwood sorry my pain is self chosen.

  22. U.... D....

    Layne is totally gone

  23. S.... H....

    Wtf Laney!

    H.... L....

  25. J.... G....

    I used to have Alice In Chains' MTV Unplugged as a CD/DVD combo

  26. S.... P....

    RIP Layne.

  27. l.... g....

    Nossa essa banda Alice In Chains é muito boa gostei do som olá gente sou do Brasil

  28. b.... o....

    This was always my favorite song of theirs, but I always wondered... their best song, with their worst singer.... why?? people may come up with excuses, but they are fooling themselves, the best parts here even are when staley sings. I'm starting to think the bad singer would like beat him with his guitar or something when he took attention from him.

  29. H.... ....

    No one ever says it rip mike

  30. z.... ....

    I think I like this unplugged better than the original

  31. M.... B....

    Layne and Jery match made in heaven! Aic had one of the greatest acoustic songs.

  32. P.... W....

    Every one of Layne’s band mates knew he was at the end of his rope. They should have never had on here.

  33. P.... N....

    Jerry is a Guitar genius

  34. b.... ....

    One of the truly great bands from the 90s and their music still holds up

  35. M.... B....

    Alice In Chains is a bad band.






    Bad in making bad songs

    M.... B....

    Metete en otra parte entonces chuchetumare , anda a escuchar reggaeton

  36. I.... ....

    I know I’m late on commenting. But. I was born in 05 and me and only a couple of other friends are the only people at my school who care about this music. Pretty sad

    I.... ....

    Im from 2004 .. me and my cousins and my brother care about that kind of music ... we are intrested in Rock and Grunge classic music .. .. and im a big fan of Alice in Chains and all the grunge bands ... Im From Tunisia !

    I.... ....

    Ahmed GaminG that’s cool dude!

    I.... ....

    Infinity_ops Hey man. I’m a junior in HS and I know what you’re going through. It’s sad to see how everyone’s polluted by the nonsensical music. Good to find someone who listens to exceptional music🤟✌️

    I.... ....

    Not sad! Keep the torch burning. The 90s were an amazing time.

    I.... ....

    '01 and I feel you

  37. V.... M....

    I' m hc Nirvana fan...this unplugged is better, better sound..of guitars singing...

  38. E.... K....

    Their harmony together is a match made in heaven...R.I.P. Layne...

  39. L.... 5....

    Whatever 54 people disliked this aren’t okay in the head

    L.... 5....

    That's F..up and not right!.. i miss them.. i caught up with them later.. but still love them today.. and way past 2019!!

  40. U.... T....

    You know your band is good when your backup can have a band of his own

    U.... T....

    Or Nirvana...your drummer can go on and have a huge band. Some of these 90s bands were so talented.

    U.... T....

    Dexter M. That drummer looks like the lead singer of foo fighters!

  41. N.... D....

    I remember when I was little and my dad would play Alice In Chains on repeat and then we would get to Heaven Beside You and I would get so confused cause it didn't sound like Layne at all and then years later when I was like maybe 10 I figured it out LOL. What a beautiful fucking song. nothings better than just blasting it full volume and letting it consume you.

    N.... D....

    Nothing better than rolling a fat blunt and blasting this along with dirt.
    Oh yeah and STP purple.

    N.... D....

    @Jay P yessir

  42. J.... F....

    great song 4 long ass drive i love his voice

  43. S.... ....

    This is definitely the best unplugged that MTV ever released. And every track from this performance (in my opinion) is better that their respective album versions. Jerry just knows how to write music man. And he put this set list together perfectly. His vocals with Layne backing him (on most tracks) is the perfect combination.

    S.... ....

    The only song I don't like is killer is me

  44. A.... D....

    Smooth.... 😄

  45. S.... S....

    I wanna hear Alice In Chains do “Heaven Beside You” with Eddie Vedder... we’re over due for a Cantrell / Vedder duo lol

  46. A.... ....

    Layne always with his closed eyes

    A.... ....

    Because he was nodding off apparently

  47. O.... ....

    Like a cold (ass) winter chill

  48. F.... Z....

    Great performance, every song is killer

  49. k.... ....

    note the garbage can beside Jerry, he had food poisoning during this

  50. G.... ....

    Be what you want to be
    See what you came to see
    Been what you want to be
    I don't like what I see
    Like the coldest winter chill
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    Like the coldest winter chill
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    Like the coldest winter will
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    And you think you have it still, heaven inside you
    So there's problems in your life
    That's fucked up, and I'm not blind
    I'm just see through faded, super jaded
    And out of my mind
    Do what you want to do
    Go out and seek your truth
    When I'm down and blue
    Rather be me than you
    Like the coldest winter chill
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    Like the coldest winter chill
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    Like the coldest winter will
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    And you wish you had it still, heaven inside you
    So there's problems in your life
    That's fucked up, and I'm not blind
    I'm just see through faded, super jaded
    And out of my mind
    Like the coldest winter chill
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    Like the coldest winter chill
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    Like the coldest winter will
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    And you know you have it still, heaven inside you
    So there's problems in your life
    That's fucked up, but you're not blind
    You're just see through faded, overrated
    And out of your mind

  51. J.... R....

  52. j.... p....

    Al lado del infierno

  53. t.... t....

    Clone of nirvana

    t.... t....

    Fuck off how is this clone of nirvana this is alice in chains one of the best bands ever better than nirvana

    t.... t....

    @LORD woah woah I get that your angry and I understand why your angry too.The scum above is talking out of his ass but don't you fucking talk shit about nirvana.Nirvana was 10 times better than AIC and this is coming from an AIC fan

    t.... t....

    Nada que ver

    t.... t....

    Ironic cause then you talk shit about aic. They play different styles and shouldnt be compared, both pioneered grunge well

  54. M.... S....

    Love this song & Jerry Cantrell is Hot!!

  55. V.... R....

    29 people will never feel heaven beside them

  56. h.... ....

    i like how cantrelll is giving his vocal impressions strong it shows he is in the box with this song . awesome

  57. S.... B....

    Alice in chains died after the singer lyne Staley was found dead thats where this band ended I haven't listened to them since.

  58. B.... R....

    STILL LOVE AIC & LAYNE IN 2019

  59. T.... B....

    Like the coldest winter chill...

  60. P.... D....

    Like the coldest winter chill
    Heaven beside you, hell within...🖤

  61. P.... W....

    Freaking amazing

  62. K.... A....

    The SHIT!!!

  63. M.... C....

    "I'm just see through faded, super jaded, and out of my mine.."

    M.... C....

    Um...no

    M.... C....

    J Gerard Awe your right! I know the lyrics!! Brain must have fizzled out. All fixed.

  64. R.... ....

    Não é apenas uma canção, é uma obra de arte, mostra que nossa espécie é capaz de fazer coisas absurdamente maravilhosas. Essa música, com certeza, será ouvida e lembrada por décadas, séculos, milênios...

  65. M.... W....

    Just think...... this is the band that Axl Rose took Jerry's demo tape.... and threw it away... fuck that guy.

  66. R.... M....

    Brasil representando 🙂

  67. J.... A....

    This recording is better than anything Nirvana ever did.

    J.... A....

    Nirvana was shit lol.

    J.... A....

    AIC is amazing, and this is probably their most recognizable work. The Seattle grunge scene gave us some of the best music. Nirvana also had a unique sound, just like AIC. There's no point in comparing artists, since their success lies in different areas, and both have a large following -- so they are doing something right.
    Just appreciate all that.

    J.... A....

    Make no mistake Nirvana's NY unplugged is one of the best live albums of all time..

  68. t.... v....

    16 people accidentally clicked on dislike without knowing.

  69. R.... M....

    I sit here (Seattle) thinking about all of the greats that came from these parts....from Jimi to Layne (2 of my favorite people in he whole world).   Of all of the great bands Alice In Chains is prolly my fave.

  70. C.... T....

    I love the first chord struck in this song, opens the song up perfectly.

  71. M.... D....

    The last era where amazing music like this was in no short supply. I hope these guys were appreciated properly because my god they were/are extremely talented.

    M.... D....

    There's no better way to put it.

    M.... D....

    Music this great has always been in short supply, just, miraculously not so much through the 60s and up until the internet fwiw

  72. J.... R....

    Equalizacao sinistra

  73. E.... ....

    That's how it's done kids.

    E.... ....

    Who is the kid in the video? Looks like it could be Lane or Jerry's child

  74. S.... m....

    Hell yeah miss these dudes

  75. f.... ....

    Always seen myself as a stanley hooked on smack but have some charisma about myself

  76. e.... ....

    Many years later I still listen to this 🤘

  77. M.... S....

    Serbia, Jan 9. 2019.

  78. M.... S....

    Beautiful sound of acoustic bass.

  79. J.... A....

    Like the coldest winter will, heaven beside you...

  80. L.... F....

    Remember the day my buddy Greg played this for the first time. Good times. #420

  81. J.... B....

    I've never liked Alice in Chains. I've always loved them

    J.... B....

    They had us there in the first half

    J.... B....

    @Ethan Sutfin aint gonna lie

    J.... B....

    Hell yea

    J.... B....

    From the first time saw them!

  82. m.... ....

    Layne was so unbelievably talented, but Jerry is as well. He writes and sings so well. Those two were a match made in heaven.

    m.... ....

    Damn why are sean kinney and mike inez not praised. They are also great

    m.... ....

    Jerry is a king! Layne is a legend...but Cantrell is AIC

    m.... ....

    Jerry’s vocals aren’t the best though. They’re ok

    m.... ....

    @Jersey Rebel his voice matches the music very well. Isnt that what it's all about. And remember, jerry isn't the lead singer.

    m.... ....

    Jerry is Alice

  83. M.... F....

    3:02 I wanna be Jerry's mic

  84. H.... W....

    You can see in Jerry's eyes his brother is long gone ....very sad

  85. J.... S....

    Forget the trolls) ( just feel his presence and sing x

  86. J.... P....

    This is the last place Lane wants to be.

  87. M.... A....

    Rather be Me than you! Unplugged

  88. K.... W....

    6 people are insane, there should be no dislikes to a perfect song.

  89. M.... A....

    Their fucking rad Harmony
    In sync one comment untouchable
    Yes you guys did

  90. R.... L....

    Love this band.

  91. S.... C....

    Best fucking harmony ever!!
    Like the coldest winter chill...
    Heaven beside you...Hell within
    Like the coldest winter will...
    Heaven beside you...Hell within

  92. E.... R....

    My god this song rocks my house. The quality is outstanding!

  93. J.... B....

    Fantastic. Thanks for the music

  94. J.... G....

    Love it absolutely

  95. D.... ....

    This was low key the best performance from Unplugged. Everyone on point. Sounds even better than the album version.

    D.... ....

    @mez the undead nah it's terrible, stupid guitar solo shit takes away from songs often.

    D.... ....

    I'd say "Frogs" or "Over Now"

    D.... ....

    @zny true but not on this song imo

    D.... ....

    Close vs nirvana's

    D.... ....

    Layne barely has any part in this song. I think its a shitty choice for this venue. Everyone has a role in every song and he just has a few back up lines. And sometimes this song feels like a shot at layne
