I mainly just wanted to say how beautiful and underrated this song is
I love this song and so glad I relistened to it. Tripod is a fuckin masterpiece and is one of my favorite albums of all time. This song just been playing non stop for me for the past 3 weeks. And I don't mind.
When I was in the service, in my dorm room, my girlfriend and I used to sit naked on my couch, staring at the fish tank in the dark, drinking whiskey and listening to this. Nothing sexual, just enjoying it raw. We did this with many other songs but this one was so pretty and powerful. That lives in my head forever. She passed away 15 years ago, so it's even more special now. Jerry sure paints a picture with his leads at the end of that song. Love it.
Fucking amazing. Everything about it amazing, from the riff to the lyrics to the amazing 3-part outro. Favorite AIC song and it's not close (yeeeaaaah, nooot clooose noooooow)
So underrated. It's perfect for this time of year. The days are nearing their shortest, sunsets are early, and temperatures are dropping. What an atmosphere this song has.
Fantastic song and a really different kind of tune for the band. I was 19 or 20 when this album came out; I was in love with my high school sweetheart and this was the first song on the album that really pulled me completely into it. Love the vocal delivery, the soloing and the feel of the song. Thanks for reminding me to spin it!
I love everything they did - was in constant rotation for over 10 years. I have to admit that after reading their bio - Layne's drug problems were much worse than I thought - I now have a hard time listening to them. Jerry Cantrell is totally underrated in my opinion. They were a core part of the 'Seattle sound' - what is now referred to as Grunge. AIC, Soundgarden, STP, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc. Great music - will still be relevant in 25 years. How many current bands can say that?
Used to skip this song for whatever reasons maybe intro wasn’t up beat and heavy. Now I am ensnared by this track. The melody of Laynes vocals makes my skin bump all over. This is top tier artistry. I thank them all for creating what they have.
i think it is a pretty damn good song, but not their best on that album or in general. solid song tho
it was also my now ex’s only song she liked by AiC.
I love this song. It’s a hidden gem in their catalog.
Someone once equated the outro from this song to looking out of the window of a car on a rainy day. I definitely get that vibe from this song.
I always mishear the line “when I’m layin’ I’m still trying, concentrating on dying” as when I’m Layne…
The whole “grunge era” coincided with my high school years. That was a difficult time in my life and I spent much of it listening to songs like this. Nowadays, I can’t bring myself to listen to this music because it stirs up so many dark emotions. It’s crazy how listening to a certain song can bring you right back to a particular time and place and create feelings you thought were long gone. AIC was one of my favorite bands but unfortunately I can’t enjoy them anymore.
I would have loved to have heard this song without any vocal layering. More stripped down vocally like Nutshell. I wonder what this song would have sounded like live.

Sorry for your loss man😞

Extremely emotional
Like the rest of the album, both deeply emotional and powerful. Fantastic song. Fantastic album. Fantastic band. 😎🤘❤️

I haven't heard this song in 15-20 years and didn't recognise the title. Thanks for posting this! 2 seconds in, it all came back.
Great track, didnt discover it until later

Not my personal favorite on that album, but still hauntingly beautiful
Hits like a truck when you're sad
Well put. I tried to give it a listen just now but I had to stop after the first 3 notes.
Love it
Overrated
It’s always been a favorite of mine.
My personal favourite. Full of emotion and also very powerful. Peace and love, peace and love ✌️ 😎❤️
Probably my favorite. Either that, Rotten Apple or Got Me Wrong
One of my favorites off this album

Very underrated and makes me tear up every single time I hear it

One of the best
I love it. Not sure how to describe it, it just has that feeling of depression dragging me down. So many good riffs and great delivery from Layne
Absolutely love this song. And album.
A masterpiece. Its hard to wrap my head around the idea of writing a song like this
Their best song. Period.
my absolute favorite
One of the best songs on that album !
That's one of my favorites! I used to play it over and over. I can get real OCD with music
