Most songs by [[Alice in Chains
----
* "Down In A Hole" is a kind of depressing only they can pull off; whether the tears come or not will depend on who you are, but hearing the singer accept that his life is over and it's all his fault evokes a certain gloom and sorrow rarely pulled of tastefully.
** The [http://pl.st/s/700627729 acoustic version]{{Dead link}} on the single sounds even sadder. See if you can make it through without shedding even a [[Single Tear]].
* "Would?" might be even more depressing than "Down in a Hole".
** The normal version is depressing enough, but the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMPGGRrLhkI acoustic version] is almost painful to listen to (and even harder to watch when you can see Layne's rotting teeth, constant shaking, and pained face). Hearing that song coming from a dying man is one of the most depressing things you'll ever hear.
Line 13:
* "Hate To Feel" - especially when you compare it to "Real Thing", which was about how much he wants his friends and family to back off about his addiction, even though he knows he needs help. "Hate To Feel" is basically a sequel, about how the heroin has taken over his life, and now he needs it because life is physically too painful without it.
* "Black Gives Way to Blue", which is about the late Layne Staley.
* Hell, you could say that the [[Self
** Especially in the chorus of "Frogs", where Layne repeatedly asks, "Why's it have to be this way?", and the spoken word coda, where he looses such wonderfully hateful lines as "Off the wall I scrape you" and "Never gonna fuck with me again".
* "[[Grief Song|Over Now]]"
