There are some great lyrics on the Mad Season album, but these might be my favorite. Its also not surprising to see Mark Lanegan's name on the credits after listening to this song...


Long Gone Day
Written By: Layne Staley, Mark Lanegan, Mad Season

so much blood i'm starting to drown
runs from cold to colder
time to time the sky's come down
to help me lose my way
tears and lies for answers
you and open veins, god knows i'm gone
girl i just want you to
come on down
lord it's a storm and i'm heading to fall
these sins are mine and i've done wrong, oh babe
come on down
long gone day
mmmm, who ever said
we wash away with the rain
see you all from time to time
isn't it so strange
how far away we all are now
am i the only one who remembers that summer
oh, i remember
everyday each time the place was saved
the music that we made
the wind has carried all of that away
long gone day
mmmm, who ever said
we wash away with the rain
so many tears i'm starting to drown
the rain in heaven's all come down
silver spoons affix the crown
the luckless ones are broken
fears and lies for answers
you and open flames
god knows i'm gone
and i just want you to
come on down, hmmm
lord it's a storm and i'm heading to fall
these sins are mine and i've done wrong
i want you to, oh, i just want you to
come on down
i fear again, like then, i've lost my way
and shout to god to bring my sunny day
My whole life
was like a picture
of a sunny day

    lyrics are pretty straight forward, but really hit you in the... thigh or gut, perhaps

    I love that song!!!
    I love the whole album!!!

    (still looking for it on vinyl though...)
  • i really like the whole album too, but this song always gets to me.
    it's amazing how the music evokes a nostalgic feeling within me about something that i was never even a part of.
    definately one of my all-time faves :)
  • Mad Season Rocks!!!!!!!!!
  • I agree, ”Above” is one of my ”top-10” album ever.
    Best songs? Wake up, I’m above, I Don’t Know Anything and, of course, November Hotel – where Mr. Mike shows that he can play guitar…
    Yes, finally;
