yesterday i recevied my shipment from ten club, pearljam fanclub. it was good. a cd from Mad Season, eddie vedder's into the wild (OST of the film with same title), pearljam's unreleased and rarities double CD. it was a solace to a week that was as frustrating as it could be at work. plus my communicatoin with home has been impossible.
i had a tea on the office roof top with florence. she's quite switch on and knowledgeable. also very open. quite valuable attributes.
matthew, her husband is also here. he's a nice man. i can have a bit of chat with him as well. they will be in dubai end of january. so i hope i could make it too. it would be fun.

mad season was Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees - Drum; also skin yard), Layne Staley (Alice in Chains - vocals), John Baker Saunders (blues bassist by career; worked with hubert sumlin and sammy fender in chicago; 1954-1999) and Mike McCready (Pearljam - Lead Guitar; also mother love bone)

McCready met john baker saunders in rehab after pearljam released vitology, which later formed mad season.
Mad Season had released only one album, as sunaders died on heroin OD. followed by staley who died on OD of speedball (mix of coke and heroin).


long gone day 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
whoever said
we wash away with the rain

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, i remember
everyday each time the place was saved
the music that we made
the wind has carried all of that away

long gone day
whoever said
we wash away with the rain

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, hmmm

lord it's a storm and i'm heading to fall
these sins are mine and i've done wrong
i want you to, oh, i just want you to
come on down

i fear again, like then, i've lost my way
and shout to god to bring my sunny day
