Lyrics:
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

I met Mark in 02/03 back when Queens were touring Germany. He was polite and patient with us, we were just typical fans- part of the gig, but when I asked him about his friendship with Layne his demeanor completely thawed. He told me they were best friends and that he still got royalties from the Mad Season album, that's how good of a friend Layne was- to give him a full share of the album. I saw in his eyes he was remembering some moment or moments with Layne. He was super gracious and kind but I didn't want to intrude on that so I moved along. Thanks for the memory Mark.

If you haven't read Mark's book, "Sing Backwards And Weep", go order it. Layne called him and told him to show up and the studio. It was just them, Layne kicked everyone else out. Layne have them write a song, one line by him, then one line by Mark. Until it was done. The music was already set. It took them 45 minutes and they recorded it in one take. Mark was impressed that Layne knew his way around recording things. Mark also sang on another track. It took Mark all of 2 hours that day. After the album blew up with "River Of Deceit", Mark started getting huge royalty checks. They had cut him in on it. A hug from Layne and Mike, I'm sure. All of this is in his autobiography.

Born & raised in SeaTown, I was fortunate to see everyone from Mother Love Bone, Nirvana, PearlJam, Soundgarden, MudHoney, SuperSuckers, Melvins, Screaming Trees, Candlebox, Temple of the Dog, Alice in Chains in the late 80's thru mid 90's and this show, Mad Seasons, standing just left of center balcony level. watching many different band members from different bands descend down into their own abiss and prisons, weakening physically, emotionally, and vocally, but this was a very special night and show whereas a mutual appreciation between band and audience grew as the night progressed, and you could see a light on in Layne that i hadnt seen in some earlier AIC shows. It was truly a magically time to be alive, and to witness one of Rock's all time greats taken too soon from us.Enjoy and if you are suffering and dealing with addiction or mental health, talk to someone, be proactive and know there is hope and a better way to live!

[@dgranite50]

lifelessdead89, yea i feel very fortunate. I agree H is a bitch. It becomes everything to you and takes everything from you eventually. I know you prolly hate hearing you are still young but take it as a compliment and an opportunity to save yourself and have a happy life! You have to want it, i mean really want it, otherwise your just kidding yourself. And it is the scariest thing you or anyone will ever have to do getting and staying clean. There are sooo many "programs" one can take and make their own, one isn't better than the other as long as it works for you and you stick to it which is key I believe once u do, its a lifelong commitment. If anyone tells you once your clean your not an addict anymore they are full of shit! I myself cannot use any drug or alcohol again! Even if that other drug didn't cause me issues it weakens my mind and my program of recovery. Once you make that choice you have to change almost every element of your life, from eliminating using friends and possibly family that uses to habits and your way of thinking about all aspects of life. Anyways sorry for my rambling I'm just passionate in trying to help others that "Want" help, i don't say that "Need" help because not all that need help want it. But i promise you this, you keep using that and you have 1 of 2 outcomes, you will end up 1.) in prison or 2.) dead! Period! Your choice brother. I'm here for ya to talk to or if you need info. Ill do what I can, That goes for anyone reading this that Wants help. And BTW yea i meant you could see a light on in Layne that hadn't been there in earklier Alice in Chains shows. A quick side-note, like i said i lived in Seattle for 40 some odd years and actually worked on Layne's condo building, just over a week after them finding him overdosed. Sad, no one came looking for weeks after he died, only because no money had been withdrawn from his bank, Take care, and be careful please!

Layne's grin when announcing Mark is to die for ! It shows a light of happiness in him followed by this kickass song when so many people had doubted his voice ! Well they can listen and watch this and see the master at work !

doubted whose voice? Layne's because of drug use and I'm assuming the timeline outs this at least a year after aic
