Some songs don’t age, they just ache forever.

In this episode of Allison Unchained, Allison Hagendorf dives into the real story behind “Nutshell” by Alice In Chains, a hauntingly beautiful song that feels as raw today as it did when it was released.

Written by Layne Staley during a time of deep isolation and struggle, “Nutshell” captures a level of vulnerability that’s almost hard to sit with and impossible to ignore.

It’s a reminder that music can hold what we don’t always have the words forand become something we return to when we need it most.
