Alice In Chains - Swing On This Lyrics

why they snap so hard 😳

Weird but cute and rockabilly 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️

fodase admito sempre pulo a ultima faixa. Ainda é o melhor album do AIC

This song is why i hang with alex jansen

I know it’s cliched and over used and all but...

I swear I was born in the wrong year

I would like to hear an orchestra play this for some reason

Anyone that thinks this doesn't fit the EP clearly never knew how this was recorded in the first place... it's a perfect end for what was proposed.

You're absolutely right!

Can't agree more

Care to share? I’m ignorant to the backstory.

Greatest period of America music. 🤔🇱🇷

My favorite all time album. Every song is a masterpiece

From someone just diving into the band and not listening to this album through, going from “rotten apples” to this seems hilarious

That evil bass intro and the vocal harmony of a generation come together to make this song and this album

This song seriously makes me want to play the bass

Genius album from the greatest band to come out of the "grunge" era.

Agreed.👍🤔💛

Are you trying to start a civil war with that statement?😂

Quiero que me metan todo su fuerza por mi obscuro y pequeño, pequeñoooooo agujero negro. 😁😉😋🙄

Disclaimer: I’m a big fan of AIC (w/ Layne, *not the shitty AIC 2.0* ). That said, I don’t really understand how the title of the song ties into the theme of it. (Judging by some comments, some ppl get it). Can anyone explain? Thnx

I guess it's because of the Swing music influences in the song

its because the song is in a "swing feel" commonly used in Jazz

Lmao disses alice in chains just because Layne isn't in it anymore and cant even put 2 and 2 together about the swing music influence, you sir are a grade A jackass

Underrated song

The ultimate in vanity...

Another sic 90's song. Even the worst stuff music wise in the 90's is top notch modern day music.

This song makes me think of ants

WHY do I know what you mean

Oh wait, do you mean the movie? I thought you meant actual ants (the creature).

This sounds like it should have been on another album lol it doesn't fit with the tone of this album! Nonetheless, still an amazing song by AIC! ❤️

Let me be,
I'm alright
Can't you see,
I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway

Missing all of this

I used to categorize this as my least favorite AiC song. No idea why, it's fucking great, especially the chorus.

The way the bass sounds with the guitar solo at the end is orgasmic...

Darth Darth Binks you’re insane

Time does wonders

The chorus made me like this song LOL

Catch this song being stuck in my head constantly

Ian I can’t agree more, I work construction and I’ve thought of this song a couple times. Keeps you in the swing of things, no pun intended.

sounds like a song in a porno

Who the hell disliked?

There's a little bit of a "Hate to Feel" feeling in this piece.

Lyrics

Mother said come home
Father said come home
Sisters said come home
So my friends said come home
I said

Let me be,
I'm alright
Can't you see,
I'm just fine
Little skinny,
Okay
I'm asleep anyway

Then I heard a voice
Said
Son you have a choice
I then slapped my face

Let me be,
I'm okay
I'm awake anyway
It's too bright over there
I can shift,
Cannot steer
So I drive them away
For a while,
Then I stay
Little skinny,
Okay
I'm awake anyway

Now I have to go home
Do as when in Rome

Let me be,
I'm alright
Can't you see
I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway
Let me be,
I'm okay
I'm awake anyway

And NOW comes the mania...love this album.

Sludge blues would've been a good alt. title for Swing On This

Every song is great

This song almost sounds happy

The chord progression is pretty upbeat, but as per usual, the lyrics are daunting 🙄

@Right Coast That's kinda the point I think, creates a rather ironic feeling

A daunting eerie happy sound of pain

*A L M O S T*

Toby's still laughing

Only song I don't like off of jar of flies.. weird random song for this album.. What the hell have I would have been a better track

They were stoned and they just jammed. Its still better than any nickelback song...Right??

Its an perfect end for the album..
Presents the attitude of an addicted, trying to show that "he is okay", especially after all the songs in the album that points that he is not.

Great song

Does anyone else get kind of a country blues rocky kinda vibe, idk maybe I’m just losing it

Nah I see where ur coming from

It's the jazz influence since jazz influenced all those styles it all sounds the same

That's exactly what it is lol

You mean "swing"

dopefiend blues

Best way to say it

Methadone soothes

Swing on this dopefiend blues

groovy ...

Yeah man

I usually like Alice In Chains, but this sounds like Alvin and The Chipmunks gone wrong.

smoke crack

It sound nothing like that and that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Never scrolling down into the comments again.

It must be comedy night in the comment section. Good joke buddy

Shit! Maybe if Alvin was the greatest metal singer on earth who was strung out on smack while having the harshest trip of his life on acid and having a psychotic rupture.

This song is criminally underrated

Kacy Ortiz if only it could be done by the master live, R.I.P Layne 😢

Yes agreed my brother

I've only been listening to Alice in chains for about 3 months, and they have very quick become my favorite band ever. I agree that Layne is irreplaceable. 😕

You're G.D. right!!

Sounds like something you'd hear in a fancy Italian restaurant

What fancy Italian restaurants are you visiting?

Jazz club maybe lol

Sounds like something you tune into on some random radio station in the middle of nowhere while driving an old car with the windows down

the songs about heroin not sure if that would be a good idea

@Darth Darth Binks In the Twilight Zone.

ummm ummm what u thinkin? seriously what the hell?

this song shouldn't be on this album

Ja'Crispies nothin song, so close now yeah when i got this album i was like oh this is a preview to tripod

@SolidSaber ok yes that's Right

It's a perfect closing song to the album imo. It gives it a finalized feeling...like as if to say " it's over with"

@Doug yeah dude I don't understand how they made this whole fucking album, ALL OF IT in like 10 days. It's insane.

well it is so what are you going to do about it LOL

Gotta dig that bass line.

awesome song

great tune

Swing on this... need I say more..
