I'm not even a 90's kid, but the Seattle scene was my reintroduction to music and knowing that the majority of the most powerful voices from the era are now dead, all gone too young, is simply SAD, *_don't do drugs people_*

[@ltlt1219]

It's called The Quickening. The older we get, the faster time goes. It's a real thing. Sucks. I'm very close, rapidly encroaching on 50..if I even make it there. My children need their old mom, so I better.. lol. Cherish every day as much as possible. Mark Lanegan inhabited this song, coupled with Maggie Björkland on the slide - they made it their own while keeping true to the original. Absolutely beautiful. Stay well and safe.. Peace.

[@colinmackenzie6277]

I was 20 years old when I had a choice of buying Soundgardens' Loud Love or Husker Du's New Day Rising. Sound garden became the soundtrack to my next 20 years... and now Kurt,Chris, and Layne and countless others are dead. And still I live, and I love their music bc it takes me back to the stupidity of youth, the passion of life. And I bring it, everyday, bc I am still alive, and living in a hollow shell ain't worth it. I explode when these songs are around...we lived in a truly creative era.

But it's nowhere near as good as the original and not even on the same planet as the unplugged version.

I have to agree with your points. My comment was how Mark took it to a new level of greatness as a tribute to Layne.

@@definitiveenergy1878 Meh, it's all personal taste, I shouldn't judge it. If you're a big fan of someone and really like their playing/voice, of course you're gonna love their versions more.

This is a beautiful Track from AIC but like Dylan wrote "Behind every beautiful thing there is some kind of pain" . Layne wrote this about himself and what he was going through in life and it wasn't pretty. Hardly anyone covers this song because you cannot sing about something that you have not experienced .But man it felt like Mark was coming from the same place where Layne was. This is hauntingly beautiful rendition of a very special song from AIC. And the Slide just added a lot of things to this cover.

When I heard Korn's cover I thought it was the best; then I heard Mastodon's cover and I thought it was the best, and then I heard this cover and I knew that, although the other covers were AMAZING, this, THIS cover was on another level! There was a level of emotion here that was absent from other covers (not that there wasn't any emotion, just not on the same level as this cover). And adding the steel guitar was an absolute stroke of genius that was the cherry on top of this amazing sundae!

haha, I had a similar trajectory. korn's video popped up a couple days ago and Would? is one of my favorite AIC songs, so I had to click, and I literally just finished Mastodon's cover.

[@jerrycollins2079]

Not saying this one is bad but I loved the cover by KoRn now I am fixing to go check out the Mastadon cover

So awesome to see a grunge icon like Lanegan re-do this song. They absolutely did it justice. Rip to Layne Staley and Mike Starr , along with so many other greats, taken too soon.

Jar of Flies and Mad Season remain in my top albums. So soft and so not soft at the same time. So much underlying tragedy. Grunge was much more cerebral than mainstream gave it credit for.

Mark, Rest in Peace, you should have be one of few people who are allowed to cover this song...

[@jrkchannel37]

Mark can tap into that feel so good.

[@mikeandike2021]

You never heard mark sing highs often he's always singing lows, so it's surprising that his high notes are so soulful sounding

[@keglings]

My heart is broken over the loss of Mark. This song (my favourite by AIC) is such a gift to listen to. Mark’s voice was 1 in a million and he will never be forgotten

[@djporno27]

A whole new set of tears for this beautiful song.

[@leekerouac4745]

That’s it, I have to say it. Mark Lanegan is the goat. So underrated.. My favorite artist right now

[@bahadirkoroglu4300]

RIP, I hope you find a place to call home...

[@them_fantasies]

RIP Mark Lanegan 😭 you will not be forgotten. Thank you for the beautiful and unique voice you gifted us.

[@Schlitzrock15]

The kiss Mark does when he's done singing this will always get me. Now even more that he's gone. 😢

[@twisted2291]

Man... That Steel Guitar just adds a level on eeriness to the song that make your heart stop in it's tracks.

[@ViniciusCostaNJR]

That's hurt even more now 😭

[@bordan.benkins]

rest in peace to a legend named mark. immediately went to this video after i saw you passed… rest easy you genuine icon.

[@guilhermedourart]

This is so beautiful. I never met Mark, Mike or Layne but I feel like I've known them all my life. This song made me feel just that. It is amazing how powerful art is in the right hands. Thank you Mark, Maggie and the rest of the band. Hugs from Portugal.

[@Knockedlooser]

This hits even harder now. So beautiful though. RIP Mark

[@vidaenagonia-cl]

This couldn't be any more haunting now 😭😭😭😭

[@SacredLyon]

Rest in peace Mark, thank you for everything.

[@mattruffner5771]

To anyone watching this please go listen to Mark read excerpts from his book talking about his time from Layne. Mark not sure if you'll ever read this but thank you from all us grundge era kids for getting clean. We're so blessed to have you with us still. And please keep making great music. What a tremendous version of this song. Just keep in mind sometimes Days are Just Long Gone...
