From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Long Gone Day" is a song from the Mad Season album Above (1995). In 1995, it was released as a promo single in the US.
[edit] Origin and recording
Mark Lanegan contributed his vocals for the song. Skerik contributes saxophone to the song as well.
[edit] Composition
"Long Gone Day" is possibly the band's most experimental song, as it takes influence from genres as diverse as jazz, progressive rock, classic rock, and blues.
[edit] Release and reception
Barbara Davies of Rolling Stone called it a "lustrous duet in which Staley trades verses with Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan, whose honeyed growl is in its element among the cool percussion, sensitive sax and pliant bass." She added, "That Mad Season are capable of tremendous power and also succeed with such a subtle song proves that the band is – at times – more than the mere sum of its parts."[1]
[edit] Live performances
A performance of the song is included on the Live at the Moore home video release.
