No Picture Curtis Rhythm Player	#1 by Curtis Lee at Jan 13, 1970 at 1:50 PM EST
	His vocals were just amazing on this one... RIP Layne. :*(

No Picture The Masta The Muther F*ing Masta!	#2 by The Masta at Oct 4, 1973 at 11:57 AM EST
	The booklet actually has a few errors in it... The last time, it is "open flames"... notice that the booklet also has "girl" in the last verse a few times, but it's not there in the song...

No Picture Rodney Wanna Be	#3 by Rodney at Apr 29, 1975 at 2:35 PM EST
	This is the best song I've ever heard.

No Picture Ace Average	#4 by Ace Of Spades at Dec 26, 1981 at 11:01 PM EST
	Life's like that. There ain't nothin' better than the innocence of youth, the friends you had back then and the shit you done together. How I wish I could be 15 once again, relive the best time I ever had. I ain't even able to ask 'em if they remember 'cause I'm so fuckin' far away, I ain't got no telephone numbers and shit to maybe give 'em a call. It's all gone wrong. Well.. at least I got this song.

No Picture chris Average	#5 by chris nagel at Aug 14, 1982 at 4:46 AM EST
	this song is one of my favorites by mad season. i think ive figured it all out by the liner notes in the above album. it's basically about wanting to get in touch with those that you loved, but haven't kept in touch with over the years and wanting the good times to last. once they're gone or "washed away with the rain" you feel such isolation and loneliness. the one line that really got me bawling, especially when Layne died was "silver spoons affix the crown. the luckless ones are broken" meaning that many of his friends had drifted into heroin, including himself. and died. this was written only a short time before Demri, Layne's fiance died. they had a falling out a year or so before.

No Picture ben Average	#6 by ben doherty at Sep 4, 1983 at 12:16 PM EST
	Yer i could relate to it being about grunge dieing, specifically about alice in chains being on hiatus.

No Picture frosty Average	#7 by frosty Angel at Jun 12, 1984 at 4:19 AM EST
	Why haven't more Alice in Chain's fan's been to this site? You'd figure they new about Mad Season. Granted they weren't as hard as Alice but the music that Layne helped put together is just flat out amazing.

No Picture Kempy Lead Player	#8 by Kempy at May 9, 1987 at 9:26 PM EST
	this is one of the most beautiful songs ever. to me, it's about regret. things you wish you said, things you wish you did. despite all the crap that's happened since, he remembers one summer fondly, even if no one else does. he want's to hold on to that summer forever. i've had a summer like that. i always feel like i'm the only one who remembers what a good time we had. all the friends that shared it with me have forgotten. kinda makes me teary-eyed.

No Picture Lamb Of God Wor Average	#9 by Lamb Of God Worshiper at Jun 1, 1991 at 10:43 PM EST
	By the way: "you and open flames" is wrong, the booklet says ".. open veins".;)

No Picture Murders in the Average	#10 by Murders in the Rue Morgue at Nov 17, 1992 at 10:59 AM EST
	to me this song is about how the grunge era was dying, and by the time this song was writting people from the grunge scene like Cobain and Andy Wood had died, and alice in chains seemed like they were finished as well. I think Layne is saying that it came and went by really fast and he uses a summer as a metafore to this saying he's the only one who still remembers all the good times about it. I think the song is trying to justify truthfully the reasons that this genre of music was fading by stating the obvious drug abuse that everyone (not just layne was going through), also in Layne's thanks in the booklet instead of thanking his friends he thanks the people who shared that Long Gone Day (aka Grunge).

	Sounds more like Eddie than Layne..

No Picture Mike Average	#14 by Mike heidkamp at Jun 16, 1995 at 12:37 PM EST
	Most of the song is sang by Mark Lanegan from the Screaming Trees and Queens of the stone age. I agree with everyone else as to what it's about.

No Picture Fat Man Goz Lead Player	#17 by Fat Man Goz at Oct 3, 1998 at 6:04 AM EST
	My heart almost stopped when i heard "i fear again like then i lost my way" i think he is reffering to his addiction. and how he was clean for a very litte time when he wrote this so he's scared that he'll start up again. and he did..and died from it. thats sad.

No Picture Randy Wanna Be	#18 by Randy Burden at Oct 31, 1998 at 10:19 PM EST
	This song makes me teard-eyed too. I would like to go back to those summers. "...The music that we made The wind has carried all of that away..." :( I`m sad becouse of Layne`s death.

	What the hell? Is this all Layne?

No Picture Laurence Average	#21 by Laurence Alam at Aug 27, 2000 at 11:49 PM EST
	I fear again right then I've lost my way...not I fear again like then I've lost my way... anyways...I would like to think this song is about the eventual dissolution of Alice in Chains.... Layne still misses his friends but for some reason they're not wanting to hang out with him any longer... obviosulythere is more to it than just that, but I haven't quite been able to put two and two together... All I know, is that this song is amazing... Lanegan and and Layne with their voices dancing around eachother gives me shiver everytime I hear this song...

	if anyone hasn't seen the video of madseason live at the moore playing this song you should go to youtube.com and watch it, it is simply amazing, especially to see the emotion layne put into it

	that live version at the moore sounds even better than the album version!
