is it me or is this absolutely unbelievable. just listen to the lyrics and tune. unbelievable.

My pain is self-chosen
At least, so The Prophet says
I could either burn
Or cut off my pride and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist
The River of Deceit pulls down, oh oh
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
My pain is self-chosen
At least I believe it to be
I could either drown
Or pull off my skin and swim to shore
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see
The River of Deceit pulls down, yeah
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
The pain is self-chosen, yeah
Our pain is self-chosen
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    I highly recommend Mad Season - Live at the Moore. Layne Staley and Mike McCready with a doubleneck guitar. Mike is frickin blistering in that video.

    you all are makin' me cry!
    I LOVE that song (and all of Mad Season) cannot get over the desperation in "all Alone" it only has like 2 lines, but just the intensity in the voice.

    I totally miss that voice.

    I third this!! Fucking amazing show. The Ten Club has rumored that they are trying to release this DVD. I downloaded it some time ago....and I also got with it the rehersal disc for the Moore show with that awesome interview with Mike after it.

    You know it...Above is one awesome album and Mad Season is by far my favorite PJ side project. Mike Fucking McCread is the MAN and yeah...I sure do miss Layne.

    LOVE this song! And yes...it surely does attack my heart. :( Layne was definitely in his music 110% and just makes you feel the loss a million times more. :(


    This song is absolutely gorgeous. Mad Season = guaranteed greatness. I mean really. I MUST see Live at the Moore!!!!

    It's a rainy overcasty day and this song sounds perfect right about now. :o



    I miss this voice too...and this face...and this spirit....just, everything. :(

    {{RIP LAYNE}}
