Staind - "It's Been Awhile"

[AFRO SAMURAI]

This is one of my favorite songs from 2001, excellent in so many ways.

Yeah, the guitars and great and the lyrics are strong. But it's really Aaron Lewis's vocal delivery that makes this song such a classic. You can tell it's a really personal song.

This is their best single and also their biggest hit.

Hot 100: #5, US Modern Rock: #1(16 weeks), US Mainstream Rock: #1(20 weeks)

No idea how it performed outside the US. Anyone?

One of my least favorite songs of the decade.

Liked it, but I started hating on it once they began to repeat the formula with their other singles.
