Mad Season - Long Gone Day, from “Above” album, released on March 14, 1995
[Verse 1: Mark Lanegan]
So much blood I'm starting to drown
Runs from cold to colder
Time to time the sky's comin' 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 in my head and I fall
These sins are mine and I've done wrong, oh babe
Come on down
Come on down my babe, wrong time I know
[Chorus: Layne Staley & Mark Lanegan]
Long gone day (Woah, woah-oh yeah)
Who ever said we'd wash away with the rain?
[Verse 2: Layne Staley]
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-woah, I remember
Everyday each time the place was saved
The music that we made
The wind has carried all of that away
[Chorus: Layne Staley]
Long gone day
Who ever said we'd wash away with the rain?
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3: Mark Lanegan]
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
Lord it's a storm in my head and I fall
These sins are mine and I've done wrong
I want you to, oh, I just want you to
Come on down
[Saxophone Solo]
[Outro: Layne Staley]
I fear again, like then, I've lost my way
And shout to God to bring my sunny day

💬 Fabiola Gonzalez:
“This brought tears to my eyes remembering that summer of '89 when we were young and innocent and free. Layne and Demri and I walking through the long grasses on the trails of Magnuson Park, heading to meet up with El Steiner, Freedom James, Krisha, Jerry, Betzol, Demitri and others. Demri carrying her conga drum with a scarf wrapped around it, me a bottle and a stick. Layne's hair half in dreads and curls with his goatee braided and one of my beads dangling on the end of it. He wearing ripped up jean shorts and Dem and I in our bikinis. His and Demri's chests bare and golden from the sun, sparkles in our eyes and smiles, lots of smiles...we were going to worship, have a drum circle with our friends on the shores of Lake Washington and swim in it's waters on a hot summer day. That day Layne experienced the Soundgarden for the first time, when you could walk up to it and stand in the middle and listen to the the wind channel sound through the tubes, creating the most beautifully haunting, mystical music. Melancholy years later when he wrote the lyrics, he and Dem were on troubled waters and I in Eastern Washington pregnant with my twins. It was so strange how far away we all were then, and I remember, like Layne, that summer and to this day, like he, I SHOUT to God to bring back my sunny day. It still hurts and I treasure that he wrote those lyrics and mentioned me and friends on the album, for the inspiration of his words and the memory of such a special time. A Long Gone Day.”
The music that we made / The wind has carried all of that away
I fear again, like then I’ve lost my way / And shout to God to bring my sunny day
Memory from @World of Demri.
