Absolutely Lovely pictures of them together.. Had never seen any of these until today.. Such a Beautiful couple they were and always will be.. So personal.. Such a tragic ending & outcome for them both.. Thank You SOOOO Very Much for providing these for all the fans & others to see.. Peace Out..
Yes..Thank you Dreamy_Love! for these gorgeous pictures...I hadn't seen most and it's sad that often the ones close to the end of their lives are shown more often than these pictures that capture that pure love. Thank you and Happy 2021. Much ✌💞 empathy!!
El problema del mundo es que galta gente preciosa u eso lo puedo percibir y sentir ea una pena que el alla llegado a te esta situacion espero y deseo.que se termine lo sntes para todos paz amor y empatia layne
Oh my God right on! I swear I was just saying that to my fiance a few days ago , that linear looks like a Roman Emperor or something in his profile in a lot of pictures! I mean I know he has a Caesar cut in some of them, but it's not just that , it's the Contours of his face and his nose and lips! And then his forehead as well , he was a very handsome man, I agree 100% that is so wild I thought that maybe I was the only one!
They had that really powerful first real love flowing through them, you can see it on their faces. I met Layne a few times and he was a really cool and intelligent person. I too used for 15 years I finally got on the methadone clinic and it saved my life. People always wanna tell you how horrible methadone is but for someone like me who was beyond ever being able to get clean and stay clean was an impossible feat without the methadone. Been off H for 7 years.
Ive been on the methadone but I always still use. I was suboxone before that for a year but would always sell em. Idk Ive been to rehab a few times and have been clean for a few weeks at the most. Its really hard. Im still struggling. Im actually gonna try methadone again. Im really happy to hear ur staying off it!
@@andrewsallee3060 you can do it!! It's not an easy road, but I promise you can get through it. The feeling of waking up in the morning and not feeling like crap is a good day. I will never go back 2 years sober!!
Thank you for putting this on here. I did not know Layne & Demri, but I did know Demri Murphy. I went to school with her. I was in 8th grade and she was a Junior, yes our school was small. Even though the age gap, we still became good friends. I loved her, and she loved that I loved her. I knew I was too young for anything serious and just enjoyed our friendship. She was so kind to me and never disrespected my love for her. She told me that I wouldn’t be little forever, so of course I thought I was going to grow up and be with Demri one day. Our conversation are a bit fuzzy for me to remember now, but a lot of them were about leaving this small town, exploring the world and doing some cool shit. She was an artist. She left for art school in Florida. She did come back on Christmas break and attended my wrestling match. We had a brief connections before being mobbed by her other friends, she was well liked. I only seen her one more time in 1988 in Everett, she came running out a building calling my name, run over to me an gave me a big hug. Her hair grew longer and she was even more beautiful then before. We talked for a few minutes, something like she wasn’t going to the art school anymore and was just trying to figure things out and what to do next. I was like, I have to get out of that town before I slip into a unrecoverable depression. So told me to be free and get out of that place, that I didn’t fit in there, like her. She told me that I wasn’t so little any more, so at that time I figured I only had about two more years left before she would become my girlfriend. (ha ha) But I never seen her again, the next year I did get out of that place and moved to Seattle, then went on tour with the Grateful Dead for the next five years and finally found the love of my life. I am sure you know what happened to Demri. You sound very intrigued by their story, so I wanted to share with you a less intriguing story of Demri, but straight from the source. I don’t know much about her after 1988, but the stories I heard, and her death breaks my heart. In some ways I wish they never met, maybe she would still be alive, maybe an art or drama teacher, or a photographer. Or maybe she has no regrets and was happy to lived and experienced “her” life. I did not know Layne, or much about him except he had excellent taste in women, that we had in common. But this story is not about Layne, it’s about Demri and I wanted you to know what a wonderful, creative and special person she was. There is a reason Layne loved her so much. Still loving you Demri, be free your friend mv
It's clear Layne was so far gone there was no way back..he didn't want to go back. He knew he couldn't ever live a clean normal life after the love lost and the world of pain in his heart... RIP Demri+Layne..may you're souls be eternally together💜💙🕯 His mother (bless her aching heart) knew that too, no matter how hard all tried to help him. And may God forbid anyone find their child the way she last saw Layne. 💔
@@demri_layne8130 I'm positive in my heart that they are together..their souls are one again!! I feel these things and have dreamt so many things that have come to be..unfortunately some..too many broken hearted ones of passings. But also many positive and good. Stay true Dreamy!!🙏🏻💕 And in the words of Kurt's "diary" Peace Love Empathy💕✔
That's bullshit. Layne's own family abandoned him and left him to die alone. Especially his mother, if I saw my son dying I would move mountains to help him because you don't give up on someone u care about. It's possible to overcome an addiction but u need emotional support.
She wasn't beautiful on the dope. Even Layne complained about her sores all over her face and body especially towards her end. She cheated on him and broke up with him. She only came around him for drugs after the break up.
Layne wasn't just smitten, "the human being inside him died with her and all that was left was his stage personae. Except his stage personae was a heroin addicted mess. A nightmare. He didn't want to come back and it's a hard pill to swallow realizing your friend wants to die and has chosen his way out " Jerry Cantrell, Interview; 2012.
@@Nga_Babaye Smitten was a poor choice of words. I know he was deeply in love with her. I can't say what the relationship was like but I can imagine it was a rollercoaster of emotion for Layne. You mix addiction into that and you have a recipe for disaster. I hope they have found peace in death.
@@Nga_Babaye Jourgensen said he introduced Layne to heroin in '93, yet Alice had done Dirt and Layne had been to rehab before, all of this according to biographer David de Sola.
@@davidleewrath6919 Layne had been a normal after-teenage years pot-smoking, cocaine snorting (many of the songs are about cocaine on dirt), drinking adult. I'm pretty sure in the biography it says it's somewhere between Dec 21 1991 and Lollapalooza May-June 1992 when Jourgensen shot Layne up the first time . You also have to look at the fact they are artists too, and what is happening in American and Seattle in the late 1980s-mid1990s? The 2nd wave of crack and the first wave of black tar heroin that was killing everyone. They are going to write songs about what they see as well.
Still breaks my heart into a million pieces..these two had a love you find only once in your lifetime. I know they're in eachothers arms now and forevermore❣🕯💜💙
@@demri_layne8130 Hey there.. Thank you! But you know what is totally sweet as... is that just over 2 hrs ago..I paid a little tribute to my dearly departed dad❣🕯 And then did the same to Kurt, Layne +Demri, Chris, Chester and said inside, and all those who I may not have directly thought of here..then Mike Starr just burst into my brain too! Just lit a candle in memory. And then I recieved your sweet comment out of the blue. Thank you❣..love transcends in many ways not fully known yet. ✌💕🕯🙏🏻❤
@@DuspHasInfluenza You're welcome! And thank you - your comment brightened up my day. Keeping your Dad in my thoughts - condolences. You're so sweet making tributes for all these amazing souls. I'm glad I wrote my comment to you at that exact time too :)
@@DuspHasInfluenza It's comments like yours which really make me so glad I set up this channel & created these videos, bringing so many amazing fans of Demri & Layne together in one place ❤️
If you've lost someone special to heroin, these shots make sense. This heart wrenching story has happened to many people, and is still happening... Layne made it into art. The story is in his darkly beautiful music. It helps those of us who survived the losses.
Love these pics and the music is perfect....its crazy but I just really realized that when Layne died I was in the worst part of the throes of my own heroin addiction..I have been an opiate dependent for over 20 years but losing him back then hurt so bad ,I am a fanatic and have been since the early 90s right after facelift ,I was only like 13 ,but years later to think the loss of someone I adored so much ,and the horrible way he was found after 2 weeks still wasn't enough to wake me up ,to b honest I used over it. I am on methadone now and have been for 20 years of off n on misery u till 2010 when I finally wanted it bad enough and while I'm medicated ,I have not used illegal narcotics since May 18 2010.. Won't lie I'm a hell of a grass smoker though..its a religious thing for me. I like my life now and I can actually be a functional member of society which I'm proud to say I now am. I still cant believe just how stupid I was and careless..it could have easily killed me too. I'm actually one of a very very infinitismal number of people who get away from the life. I don't care how anyone else sees me anymore ,I'm good with me ,I just Wish to God that Layne and Demri could have found that. Having a child woke me up too if I'm totally honest. Sorry I just get into my feelings over these things especially with this amazing music and video right before me...
Thank you for your comment :) I'm so happy to hear you are off the H for so long now and you're doing so well, you definitely should be v proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing your story and hopefully some people may see your comment & be inspired by it.
@@demri_layne8130 thank you so much. It hasn't been easy but it has been much easier than trying to live that way and have any real happiness at all. Thank you taking the time I like my comment and respond back that really makes my day. All I can do is take it one day at a time sometimes one minute I'm certainly not perfect but I do my best to at least have integrity these days. Integrity and humility they were two key things for me for sure. Much love for posting something so beautiful and thank you you again!
@@vanessajohnson6660 you're welcome ❤️ and thank you so much for your comments and support too. Taking each day as it comes is good and you're doing great. I hope you stay strong and get the support of people around you and also, people online can be such a big help wanting the best for others & supporting each other ❤️
Thank you for your kind comment ❤️ I thought it a fitting song to go with Demri & Layne. This song is so poignant, nostalgic, magical, pulls at our heartstrings.
@@demri_layne8130 you’re welcome❤️ and it absolutely is there’s so many emotions expressed through such a few simple sounds. It’s hopeful, nostalgic, haunting and beautiful. It gives the feeling of a new beginning, the whole song feels like a build up of something beautiful that’s going to happen and is happening. Like a change in the world. This song is also so sad especially with the context of Demri and Layne added into it, it feels like a longing for that true love with one person that can never be felt or matched again. As a guy who grew up in a toxic household where I couldn’t get away to cry often, this song has brought me to tears quite a bit since I found it from your video❤️ I also dated a girl who looks almost identical to Demri who talks about knowing she’ll die young, we’re only 23 and have both struggled with drugs over recent years and I haven’t seen her in a few years so it feels very personal. I’m always worried about her, and my heart aches that we can’t be together..thank you for making this video
@@demri_layne8130 I think some of the later photos are quite harsh - that inner radiance seems to have dimmed greatly. She appears to have lost that freshness - she has lank greasy-looking hair and much more serious face.
I love Boards of Canada and Layne , Great song choice it's so strange how many of us are on the same frequency. I thought I was the only one who loved this track by BOC
Beautiful Pictures! They looked like best friends which makes for a good couple. They looked good together. Rest in Peace Demri and Layne~Together Forever~
@@demri_layne8130 it is a wonderful picture. The bubbles really make it seem like something not of this world. RIP to both of them. I’ve always felt a close connection to Layne and will always be a huge fan of his music and voice. He was special, definitely one of a kind. There will never be another like him
Over the over the past week I swear I probably watched this 10 times and it's not just about the beautiful pictures the music gets stuck in my head. This music touches me inside without a single word it's very emotional especially with the pictures that are being shown at the same time. There's just something about it though that keeps drawing me back even though I seen the pictures a bunch of times I still want to hear the song. I think it's brilliant and beautiful and a bit tragic and perfect for this video.
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ When I created this video I decided on a song that was so close to my heart and thought it was fitting tribute to Demri & Layne. It is such a haunting beautiful song and I am glad this music touches your soul too 💕
@@demri_layne8130 yes I can see why it would be a song that was close to your heart even though I know you probably have your own reasons it has quickly become a song that my soul Longs to hear so I definitely think you made a choice pick on this music for sure. It is definitely hauntingly beautiful like you said and it definitely gets me in my feelings LOL but in a good way because it's absolutely beautiful.
I love you guys,i miss you so much!! Layne was a incredible talent, I have been see AIC in Italy MILAN February 1993 with Screening Trees!! Also Mark Lenagan is past away !! RIP Mark,Layne,Demri,Kurt,Chris,Scott,Andrew and many more
It’s awesome knowing they enjoyed life and lived it briefly together. The camping picture made me smile. It wasn’t always about drugs and self destruction.
Wow I’ve never seen this this made me cry .... their love for each so beautiful.I hate that drugs stole their life ..in lane losing her a part of his heart died when she passed from this earth ..now they are together 💗
Thank you for this! I've only seen 1 maybe 2 pics of the 2 of them together. It's amazing to see these and to see the genuine love they had for each other. So many videos only show Layne and the band & maybe mention Demri in a brief 2 second soundbite. Which is crazy because she was his everything as he was hers. To not mention her is to be disrespectful to Layne. Let's not forget Layne told Mike Starr, the day before he died, that she had come to see him the night before. She knew his time was close & she didn't want him to be alone in that time of need. I feel that she was there to walk him towards the light because he would've never walked in the light without her...guiding him...together for eternity ❤🙏 RIP LAYNE & DEMRI Your music & your love live on forever 🕊
I understand now a beautiful round of pix understand layne lived demri she was bedazzling say the least kinda of a short put together man wrecker with out a doubt add heroine pain pills adios to most influential shooting star talent ever to come down to our level man i miss ya layne dimri god bless you to thanks for what ya did leave behind brother but it wasnt enough RIP
I knew this music must've been Boards of Canada! (Fucking love them. Just got a B.O.C. t-shirt a couple weeks ago.) It goes really well with the message of this video. Great job!
@@demri_layne8130 Thanks doll. I adore Demri & Layne, think they had one of the most beautiful and pure love stories of the 90s. They’re definitely together again now💗
Everytime I'm feeling upset or angry about something.. I come back here and see these two beautiful souls and the love and I just melt into sad melancholy state..my heart breaks just a little more.. but then I'm happy again..the love I see between Demri and Layne is so real and pure and I know they're together..so I feel overwhelmed with love, gratefullness. Life or Death couldn't keep them apart as love really does know no bounds. I don't think I've seen such a love glaringly bright from pictures.. as is between these two.💜💙❤🕯 Can't Thank U enough for sharing this❣
They were a modern day Romeo and juliet, thank you so much for this amazing upload, such beautiful people so sadly missed may God Rest their precious Souls
Rest In Peace you love birds. ❤ I’m proud to call Dems brother Dave a friend before he passed last year, and talked to Dems mom quite a bit. They are all together again and for that I am happy. ❤
She was so gorgeous and intriguing, i can tell why so many were enamored w her. I remember seeing these pics in the early 2000s, however there was a dearth of photos ( especially colored ones) until recently. Grateful for all those who shared their memories, photos and stories. May they rip
I am lonely for my Peers 1967 . I have been watching all this nostalgic music & some movies and I have a big case of the feels 😷💔✌ . Hit me up if you are feeling this during this Pandemic . I am Clean & Sober committed to staying that way . 10/8/08 is my sobriety date / anniversary .👍 ✌🎩👌
3.17 that photo of Demri & Layne looks exactly like me and my first love Yan circa 1984 .Lovely hippie couple ,drugs sadly do fuck up relationships in the long run ,know first handv😭
Did anyone read Mark Lanegans book? He basically says she slept around and tried to sleep with Mark while dating Layne and it caused Layne a lot of pain.
I did read that in his book. Sad because layne could've had a different woman every time he went on stage but he chose her instead, yet she wasn't satisfied with just him.
@@zess5348 But didn't Layne admit he went off with loads of girls too? Sadly I think things didn't work out for them cos the cheating and drugs consumed them.
@@demri_layne8130 According to Mark Lanegan he didn't and was sad a lot because of Demri sleeping around. He said it deeply hurt him even when they would tour. She ran into Mark at a drug house and she straight out asked him if he wanted to go home and get high and fuck. I wouldn't fault her so much though. I think she was just a free spirit and maybe that's how she dealt with Layne being away. What's clear reading both books is they definitely loved each other.
Drugs and alcohol are the cause of all evil (pain, sadness, cheating, hurting each other, lose of sanity.....) Expressions on those faces tell so much... From friendship, crush, love, misticism, confusion, insecurities, doubt, dispaire....
Both would still be alive if America had legal heroin programs. Let's not kid ourselves here these deaths don't have to happen and poor health doesn't need to happen.
First off, I love boards of canada being used! God, Demri reminds me so much of myself; we're both pisces and eerily dress the exact same way.. Halcyon on and on would be a great song for a future video, maybe. It's so fitting.
I think they did love each other at the beginning. They were so young and unfortunately drugs & alcohol got in the mix. It really sad but, when your using all your morals and rational think as well. We will never know really what their relationship was whether it was open or not. Sad that their love couldn’t survive. ♥️✌🏻LS💜DP
She was so pretty. Layne had good taste. According to their friends, Layne got her hooked on heroin and that's why he beat himself up so bad when she passed. I'm glad they're no longer in pain. You can tell they were so deeply in love.
@@TheStepmonkey I still don't buy that version. She looks so innocent and young when they met (Layne does too, but when Alice in Chains became big he changed so much). From the photos and from what I've researched, I've bet that it was Layne that introduced her to heroin, but the band managers associated Layne hanging out with her with excessive drug consumption maybe because he just liked to overdose with her and probably that's why they alienated her and tried to frame the drug consumption on her.
@@TheStepmonkey nope Layne started doing drugs at age 14 and I honestly think he got her into drugs. Is why I believe karma got him good in the end. never introduce people to drugs. Evil thing to do.
@@PK-uh2yz You’re right, Layne did start using drugs around age 14/15, but he didn’t touch heroin until later. I think heroin is what Stepmonkey was referring to.
@@PK-uh2yz And I’ve heard it both ways- Demri got Layne into heroin & vv. I don’t think any of us can say for sure since we weren’t there. Either way, it seems to me your comment is a little harsh & judgemental. I highly doubt either of them forced the other one into anything. They were both capable of making their own decisions.
I believe Layne and Demri passed at the time they were supposed to. Coming from the same era, I am a former drug user, and a muse, and well aware of what happened back then. They wouldn't want to be in their 50's and on disability, and just dream all the time of the life they had. They died young and beautiful. And will ALWAYS be remembered!! Love, and peace Layne and Dem!🥰
So beautiful, both of them. Young love is tumultuous. It’s a time where you’re defining and learning who you are. A difficult time as it is. Fame and drugs in the mix is an impossible situation. But they looked so happy together. Wonder if Love Hate Love was about her. I’ll have to look that up. RIP to both of them.
They had actually planned to get married before she got sick from shooting up. They canceled it though because she was to sick. She did buy a wedding dress though
@@CrackBeaver they did break up prior. they weren't a couple when she passed. I don't recall ever hearing or reading anything about a wedding dress. This is the first.
I had one great love and lost her. I am not an addict but have never gotten over her completely.. I have remained pretty much single for the last nine years. She's not dead but I am to her. No, I haven't stalked her or anything like that.. some of us just don't fall in love very easily..
They absulutly loved each outher with every fibre of there being a part of Layne,s soul died when demri died,he just never was the same he self destructed he would never love another like her and that turtured him he did say to his best friend the day before he passed that demri visited him the night before ,and I believe she came to take Layne home,,,
@soreal spunkie short sexy. She said she aways liked guys that looked like Jesus .. 😉 I got them highonx few weeks before she left us ..I miss them both.. I got in fist fight with Layne and band in 88 but we made up band lost fight and other band . lol. ..I was guy that brought Sony to see them .. 1988.. Layne Had Red a liberty mohawk ..I got yelled at by Sony.. hope you like info..
@soreal no 90s I have close friends daughter was dating Mike Star when she was 18 so i check up on her alot .Her and Dem share needles and lovers im sure. Swingers. I just took notice of Dem after she tried to kiss me trying to jump to my lips .. lol..they must of been open relationship yet he missed her when she was gone..😑 both thought they had Aids all the dirty needles.. My Friend Barbara never did thou so maybe they didnt because she told me she shared and never got aids.. Barbara thought ii liked her and i was checking on her. I JUST TOLD HER FEW WEEKS AGO.her mom sent me .I liked her mom not her.. she shit bricks lol.. yeah those days where fun..
This puts them as just like the rest of us. Put that same music to my death....addiction is terrible. God that music is deep. It changes Everytime inside of me.
I named my PSR 🎸 The Demri Layne after there love for each other for 9 years because my fiancé bought it for me on our 9 year anniversary and randomly it is black 🍒 red! 🙏 RIP
My girlfriend also died of a drug overdose, on December 8th it will be 2 years & I'm still absolutely crushed. I also had a serious addiction to heroin and then graduated to garbage ass fentanyl (biggest mistake of my entire life) Layne was still destroyed after 5 years idk if I'm gonna make it, I think about her every single day & miss her more and more because I'm lonely. IMO although Layne and Demri never got married I believe they were always each other's sweethearts. I'm so glad they're together now, I would love to have such beautiful pictures with my Angel.
I am so sorry to hear this ☹️❤️ I wish all the best for you. I hope things get better for you, grief is so lonely and heartbreaking. I agree, Layne and Demri were each other's sweethearts ❤️
