No Picture simon Average	#1 by simon cody simon at Sep 23, 1970 at 2:36 PM EST
	i love layne's voice on this song. it's totally about his heroin habit and how bad it was for him. this song gives me chills. RIP layne, we miss you.

No Picture Nick Wanna Be	#2 by Nick Maertens at Jun 14, 1974 at 3:23 PM EST
	layne1012........ this verse was prophetic, but it didnt need to be.... It infuriates me that Layne allowed himself to get that way... but you know, I can never understand a users mind, unless i become one... and if there is one message I took away from him, it was DO NOT become a user.... JBS immediately makes himself known in the opening seconds of this song with his slow melodic basslines.... everything about this song screams flow and unison..

No Picture Kevin Wanna Be	#3 by Kevin Alarcon at Nov 5, 1977 at 2:25 AM EST
	This song most definitely describes Layne's battle with heroin, but is shown in a different light. Although it has a darkness to it, there is a bit of hope in his words. "it's time to wake up, your

	WWake up young man, it's time to wake up Your love affair has got to go For 10 long years, for 10 long years The leaves to rake up Slow suicide's no way to go," Is it me or is this verse prophetic? slow suicide was the way layne went...

No Picture Too Fast For Lo Average	#7 by Too Fast For Love at Apr 30, 1986 at 11:36 AM EST
	This is a great song.

No Picture Average	#8 by nirvana at Sep 30, 1986 at 1:57 PM EST
	These guys are so real! They kick ass!

No Picture Dave Wanna Be	#9 by Dave Brousseau at Oct 30, 1989 at 9:50 PM EST
	It`s kinda sad,because Layne is singing:"Slow suicide's no way to go, ohh..." because he ended his life on similar way.Yeah,I think it was a suicide with overdose.Read his last interwiew.It`s like suicide note in some way.it`s just my opinion...

No Picture †grave† Lead Player	#10 by †grave† f at Dec 17, 1991 at 11:53 AM EST
	the songs awesome but kinda depressing since the singer just died the other day of drug od

No Picture ~Ivy Loves Shav Rhythm Player	#11 by ~Ivy Loves Shavo~ at May 22, 1993 at 9:26 AM EST
	This song is so powerful... just think, they even had it played on his funeral. Layne just wanted everyone to learn from his experiences, and "wake up" from the illusion that you can escape an addiction. Everybody who is stupid enough to do drugs should listen to this song, and be ashamed of themselves if they still call themselves good Alice in Chains or Mad Season fans. WAKE UP!

No Picture Mr. great-1 Professional	#12 by Mr. great-1 coble at Apr 16, 1996 at 4:13 AM EST
	i agree with Ice about Layne's voice, you not olny hear it but you can feel it. i think that Wake Up had a few meanings, one of them being stuck in a place in life and trying to get out. you've been there long enough and the time to go is passing.

No Picture Joseph Average	#13 by Joseph Ross at Oct 23, 1997 at 3:10 PM EST
	To FellONblACKdayS: It isn't proven that he died on the same day as Kurt Cobain, it is just speculated from the state of his decay.

No Picture Daniel Average	#14 by Daniel Ellis at Oct 9, 1999 at 9:07 AM EST
	This song help kick my drug habit. Thanks Layne.

No Picture Marcos Professional	#15 by Marcos Prieto at Mar 14, 2000 at 6:34 PM EST
	I absolutely love this song..the music is so relaxing...but the lyrics are really sad, because Layne was being so honest with himself and telling himself that he is killing himself with drugs, and almost got through it, but they killed him in the end. Such a sad story, such talent wasted. RIP Layne

No Picture James Average	#17 by James Long at Nov 3, 2001 at 8:43 PM EST
	when i first heard this by then end of the song i had felt like evry emotion i have ever. it's amazing. Layne is so great there is so much feeling in his voice. this song is more then just Layne's cleaness to me, it's much more, it is kinda like a realization of something from ignorance. get it?

No Picture Tony Average	#18 by Tony Cracknell at Mar 13, 2006 at 3:30 PM EST
	This is a great song.

	No Code I totally agree. Nothing has told me that drugs are shit more than Layne's music.
