[A] [Eb] [C] [A]
The project came [Eb] together [Ab] when I [D] was in Minneapolis [Gbm] with our bass player Baker.
I [A] was in rehab and [Am] just called up Lane.
[E] Baker's been a huge fan of Lane's and I've known Lane for about 10 years.
Called up Barrett and we got together and rehearsed and things just [F] started happening.
I was in bed [A] and he came in and woke me up and said,
you want to play a show in three days with [Am] these guys?
I said, [F] yeah, sure.
And [E] when are we going to [A] practice?
And he said, well, we'll practice the night before.
We got together and jammed and it was like, oh, this is kind of cool.
And then [Dm] it always seemed kind [E] of cool.
And then [A] now it's turned into something a lot more special [G] than I realized.
[A] [C] [G]
The river of [A] deceit pulls [G] down.
[C] Oh, [G] the only [Am] direction it goes [G] down.
I was resigned to [Bm] never [F] do anything with it again.
And I [G] just kind of put it on the back shelf and forgot about it.
But then he would come back [C] up occasionally and go, oh, yeah, that was cool.
We should do something.
I think what sparked it for both of us is that we [G] re [Em]-listened to those tracks
and realized, wow, this was a really great band
[Gm] and [F] probably we should [C] find a way for the rest [G] of the world to hear this.
[F] This song is called Long Gone Day.
Mr.
Mark Lanigan.
[B] [Ebm]
[E]
[D] [E]
[D] [E] So much love [D] started to drown the river of deceit.
We [D] had a bunch of stuff that was left [Am] over from the first record,
[Em] like a whole section of [D] maybe 13 odd ideas [E]
that [E] never came to fruition.
And I actually have three of those songs with our friend Mark Lanigan singing on top of them,
which is [D] a giant bonus.
Well, [E] God knows I'm gone, [Bb] [A] no sleep.
[B] [Bb] Your [E] countenance falling, [Bb] sir, [B] white as [A] a sheet.
[Bb]
Your face in [A] a rain-grown [Bb] boulder.
[B] I talked with him and I [Am] said, hey, Mike [Bb] and I want [B] to do a [Am] proper reissue of the [Bbm] Mad Season [B] album
and the More [Bb] Theater DVD and really do a nice [B] package.
And so it just became clear [A] that those three [B] songs go with the box set
because they're directly connected.
[D] Baker played bass.
[Ab] And [G]
it was clearly a part of that version of the [D] band.
This is like the [Gb] greatest musical present to my ears that I [Bm] have heard.
Because A, I never thought anything was going to happen with it.
B, I love how Mark Lanigan sings.
And [B] Mark is a really good lyricist.
And when you hear the lyrics that he wrote for those three songs,
people will hear the connection to that first Mad Season record.
[E]
[E] [Gb] I think the More Theater, it's [A] one of those classic music venues.
[Ab] It's smaller than the [E] Paramount.
I think it holds close to 1,000 people, you know, like full capacity.
[Gb] And it felt [E] that way amongst everybody in the band.
We just really bottled the lightning that night.
And I remember the [Bb] moment we walked out on stage, it was, they were just [N] roaring.
This is the most awesome crowd.
It was really loud.
But so many people have tried to find that, and it just [E] wasn't available.
[B]
[Bm] Even though the themes on the [Gb] Mad Season record might be dark,
it's a dark beauty is what it is.
And people connect with that because everybody has walked through darkness
at some point.
It's part of being a human being.
But you don't understand [B] the quality of light or the preciousness [E] of it
unless you've spent time in the darkness.
And somehow Lane was able to conjure that in his lyrics and in his voice.
And we all were able to express that in the way that we played together.
And that's why the Mad Season record has this dark beauty to it.
It's a very heavy record, but it's also, ultimately,
I think it's about ascension and upward movement.
