    The lyrics to this are heartbreaking. A man in the throws of addiction who has hopes about becoming clean but talking about how he thinks is doomed, lying to himself and past saving.
    "I could either drown or pull of my skin and swim to shore, now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see." if only he learnt to swim RIP brother.

    Vocals: Layne Staley - Alice in Chains
    Guitar: Mike McCready - Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog
    Drums: Barrett Martin - Screaming Trees
    Bass: John "Baker" Saunders
    It's a super group brother. One of the best fuckin albums that came out of Seattle in the 90's. Love this album...but it sad, literally half the band is dead from drug addiction. RIP Layne and Baker.

    The “self chosen pain” Layne sings about in this song comes from the book “The Prophet” by Khalil Gibran which Layne was reading around the time Mad Season got together - at least that’s what Mike McCready says in one of his interviews back then :)

  • @tjp3rd
    @tjp3rd 2 года назад +2

    This is the story of Layne acknowledging his soon to come death,that he knows it is evident ,and he also acknowledges he's too far .gone, and unable to prevent it at this point .... It's so beautiful and heartbreakingly sad. RIP Layne. 😢😢😢

    The meaning of Mad Season: River of Deceit as sung by Layne Staley.
    Start off by saying this is about Layne’s drug habits particularly with Heroin! Think about it: The river(blood flow in your veins) takes down the Deceit (Heroin). If you read the lyrics now with this in mind and counter the fact this eventually led to Layne’s death is poetic. He KNEW he had a problem and was conveying that to the listener. My pain is self chosen. Pull off my skin and swim to shore…Heroin addicts pick at their skin. Shore represents being off the drug…now I can grow a beautiful shell (New Skin) for ALL TO SEE. Listen again with this in mind.

    If you want to hear the best album of the grunge era, it's the album "Temple of the Dog." It's a super-group album (Chris Cornell on Vocals, members of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, etc.), recorded before either band was "super", and almost every song is amazing. Just start at the beginning with "Say Hello to Heaven" and go on from there.

    I love this song. Its the perfect song to sit back and reflect on oneself. Its lyrically inspired by the book "The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran which he references in the song heavily. Its a spiritual journey for him while dealing with his drug issues. Its sad in the end he succumbed to them. Mad Season is kind of a grunge supergroup with Layne from AiC, Mike M the guitarist from Pearl Jam and drummer Barrett from The Screaming Trees. I think you'll like "I dont know anything" by them which sounds very much like an AiC song.

      It is tragic, people need to see under the drug heroin and how it get into this country and who is behind its distribution, the 10s of thousands of deaths laid right at the feet of US govt and its CIA pushers, now today in 2022 there doing it with fentanyl.

  • @Krust_Acean
    @Krust_Acean 4 года назад +4

    I like how the vocals are recorded naturally, without doubling/tripling the voice. AIC vocals got too muddy after a while and i like hearing layne's natural voice.

  • @climber1954
    @climber1954 4 года назад +2

    Layne wrote most (if not all) of the lyrics for this album and they are much more personal than his AiC stuff. "Lifeless Dead" is about losing his girlfriend to an overdose while "Wake Up" is him trying to talk himself into quitting drugs. All of the songs on this album are well worth a listen.

  • @SquirrelyDan6422

  • @kristimarriner7673
    @kristimarriner7673 4 года назад +3

    I Don’t Know Anything, Wake Up, Lifeless Dead and Long Gone Day are my favorites on this album. This song , to me, is abt someone who wants to change, but doubts they can change. “ Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see”, a beautiful outside, but someone different on the inside. Just my take on it. Great thoughtful reaction. Wish they could have made another album.

    I forgot to add, Above (the album) is pretty fantastic, and quite a departure from the rest of the Seattle Sound. Granted there are some Seattle Sound tracks on there, but there's a lot of somber songs. Try out Lifeless Dead. It's got a weird verse pattern that will throw you off at first, but it's a really good song!

  • @deftonesmetallica

    When I found this song again after many years as an adult, I begun to tear up a little because I knew I have listened this somewhere sometime, and then I remembered when I heard it it was when I was a kid on 1995 so its nostalgic and sad at the same time thank you Layne for giving us your music you will not be forgotten never

  • @HildeAzul
    @HildeAzul 3 месяца назад

    His voice is so original .. first line, knowing apparently nothing, “is that the singer from (AIC)…” yes yes it is and this whole album was magical and still is.
    Also, you will never get tired of this. Layne delivered magic. He said, “now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see..” we did see his beautiful shell, he didn’t.

    This came out in 95 I believe with the band being Pearl Jam minus Eddie Vedder.
    Mark Lanegan the singer from Screaming Trees (another great vocalist of the grunge scene) joins them on Long Gone Day which is another great reflective track. Has some slow mellow jazz vibes to it

    Mad Season was a side project to try and get Layne clean off Heroin. Didn't work, unfortunately. The lyrics are devastating when you know what eventually happens to him.

    @bernman23 4 года назад +2

    It's better you were surprised. I recommended Mad Season and expressed it was a side project, but don't know of who from. A different vibe from most AIC, though not far off their later, mellower stuff. Beautiful, poignant song. I think you got it right about the lyrics and video.

  • @Damiana_Dimock
    @Damiana_Dimock 4 года назад

    Mad Season os one of those ‘90s “supergroups” whose members I always mix up.
    They tend to put out an album, sometimes two if all the members survived long enough
    (unfortunately only half of this band made it through G.W. bush’s admin-drummer, Barrett Martin, from Screaming Trees, “I Nearly Lost You” is probably their biggest sing and has a video, also you’ll get introduced to their vocalist, Mark Lanegan, whose projects I probably have recommended and probably will continue to recommend; guitarist, Matt McCready, from Pearl Jam.)
    Mad Season put out a single studio album titled “above,” it has striking black on white album art that I frequently stopped to look at while working when I worked in record stores. The art was apparently drawn by Layne Staley, I don’t know if he has a background in visual art or not, but the art has that amateur style you’d on hand-drawn flyers or zines, (especially radical zines promoting socialism or anarchism.)
    Bit after all that, I never really got into Mad Season or Alice In Chains. The closest I get to that side of “grunge” is Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, and Candlebox, “Far Behind,” “Change,” or “It’s Alright” (all three have videos.)
    I saw Candlebox supporting the “Happy Pills” album, and Second Coming opened the show, they apparently have ties to Staley. I thought Candlebox were pretty great but wasn’t that impressed by Second Coming though they weren’t bad.

    I dont expect many to know this band or realize this song is by them being sung by Layne so it probably won't get a lot of attention sadly because its a beautiful song. But for a more well known "supergroup" of the Seattle scene id go with Temple of the Dog (basically Pearl Jam and Soundgarden combined) as have probably been requested 100 times already along with Soundgarden. Say Hello 2 Heaven and Hunger Strike will blow you away.

    Mad Season is an absolutely incredible supergroup,. Most of their music is pretty down-tempo. The song Wake Up is actually a song I used as an alarm clock for years because it starts out nice and mellow, fading in, then gets louder. Absolutely love that song and always will.
    This band was a supergroup of addicts, all trying to get clean... so sad that half this group died from their drug use. Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Barrett Martin of the Screaming Trees, John Baker Saunders of The Walkabouts, Layne Staley of AIC. Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees did vocal work with them too.
