Feel The Void

@AnglerRising yeah, this is a tune that really doesnt need much explanation. Jerry had hit bottom. The band he\'d devoted his life & talents to, was for all intents and purposes, over. His best friend, collaborator, and musical soulmate was dead, after dragging them all down for years. He acknowledges that he was not the best friend he could have been; perhaps let his "cocaine mouth" talk smack (no pun intended) about Layne refusing to get clean, and it got back to Layne. And now Layne was gone, he had no Plan B, and his life as he knew it was all but over.\r\n\r\nWhere he says "I have no home", this was literal, as well as figurative. In order to fund the recording of DT, he had to sell his house, so he truly had no band "home," as well as no physical home.\r\n\r\nSuch a fantastic, brooding, brutally honest album. Its hard for me to listen to it because I get so sad for Jerry, what he had to deal with and go through. A far lesser man would have succumbed to the madness, and in fact, many times, Jerry acknowledges that he felt he was going insane.\r\n\r\nMorbidly, while Jerry had his guitar & lyrics to vent, I often wonder how Sean and Mike coped, and what they went through to get them through that horrible season (I guess Sean could "hit things" - his drums - in anger). I\'m glad they managed to move onward, but I\'m guessing Jerry will be forever broken inside. What a sad, wild life.
