The track carved the path for Staind's subsequent commercial breakthrough. With only his acoustic guitar as his musical backing, Lewis delivered a raw, anguished performance of a song that Staind would later record in the studio for Break the Cycle. The band remained on the fringes of mainstream acceptance until 'Outside,' a live collaboration between Lewis and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst during the 1999 Family Values Tour, blew up on alternative and mainstream rock stations a year later.

The son of divorced parents, he chronicled the emotional turmoil in his childhood with Staind, namely on tracks like 'Epiphany' and 'For You,' from Break the Cycle. Born in Springfield, Vermont, Lewis listened to folk music as a child.
