I have to say Alice in Chains is a band I love but the music combined with lyrics and singing style ends up depressing me.
Lyrics about substance abuse unhappiness give me a bleak feeling
Even upbeat rockers like "we die young" have bleak lyrics
Rooster although about a friend dieing in Vietnam conflict has a f... you defiant manner, like mother f.. aren't going to kill me might be less bleak
Another song that might be a little life affirming is "No Excuses" as I take it to mean dispite his unhappiness he is going to try to quit drug habit
I'd like to hear from anybody who is affected by a musician or band
