Over Now

About Over Now

"Over Now" is a song by the American rock band Alice in Chains. Written by Jerry Cantrell, who also sings lead vocals, it is the final song on their third studio album, Alice in Chains (1995), and it is about the breakup of the band that took place in 1995. It was a single from the band's MTV Unplugged performance, and was used to close the televised broadcast. The B-side consists of the original studio version of the song. It peaked at No. 4 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and at No. 24 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1996. The MTV Unplugged version of "Over Now" is the longest song that Alice in Chains has released as a single, clocking in at seven minutes and twelve seconds. The song was included on the box set Music Bank (1999) and the compilation album The Essential Alice in Chains (2006). The MTV Unplugged concert was the first and (as of 2019) only time that Alice in Chains performed the song. It was performed again 23 years later at Jerry Cantrell's solo concert at the Pico Union Project in Los Angeles on December 6, 2019. more »
