Plush - Down in a Hole (AIC cover)

They did a good job. The lead singer doesn't have the grit or desperation that Layne Staley used to have when singing this, and maybe that's a good thing cuz unfortunately he was haunted by his drug use. Two things that I think they missed:

1) when AIC did this song, they went from a 3 here:

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb, in bloom

To a 10 here with A LOT of guitar and vocal energy:

Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they thought
I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who won't let himself be

2)Cantrell shreds his guitar after Layne sings this:

Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied

and it's POWERFUL. I think it would have added a lot to their version but overall I liked it.

That was awesome. The vocalist has got a voice.

Superb cover! Very well done and full of the emotional weight the song carries.

Damn good singer and drummer
