Mad Season - I'm Above Lyrics






For clear space and soundness of mind
I've let you play me for some time
One can only receive and retain
But the lies you recite for your gain

So you rely on my faith in your kind
Or rather continue to pretend that I'm blind
You say I made your life a living hell
And yet still let me pay you when I fell

How is it you're feeling so uneasy?
How is it that I feel fine?
Life reveals what is dealt through seasons
Circle comes around each time

I've been blessed with eyes to see this
Behind the unwhole truth you hide
Bite to remind the bitten, bigger
Mouth repaying tenfold wide

I'm above
Over you I'm standing above
Claiming unconditional love
Above

Try to keep bad blood in the past
Never thought a chance, a chance it would last
I have strength enough, enough to forgive
I desire peace where I live

I've been blessed with eyes to see this
Behind the unwhole truth you hide
Bite to remind the bitten, bigger
Mouth repaying tenfold wide

How is it you're feeling so uneasy?
How is it that I feel fine?
Life reveals what is dealt through seasons
Circle comes around each time

I'm above
Over you I'm standing above
Claiming unconditional love
Above

I'm above
Over you I'm standing above
Claiming unconditional love
Above

I'm above
Over you I'm standing above
Claiming unconditional love
Above

    Layne Staley ladies and gents.

  2. D.... M....

    What a fucking greasy album. Bought it when it came out!!

  3. K.... W....

    This album is pure masterpiece... Layne saying to Jerry... I can write a whole album myself, get a band together ND release one epic album all while feeding a massive smack/crack habit...

    K.... W....

    He's above!!!

    K.... W....

    @Arya 5766 most high

  4. S.... V....

    We are a group of music lovers nerding out over our favorite songs that fall under a new theme each day. Come show us what you got! Today’s theme is “Above”. https://www.facebook.com/groups/SupercordsMusicClub/

  5. S.... ....

    Damn, them sum slow walkn vocals

  6. n.... 9....

    Layne forever!....

  7. J.... H....

    shivers down my worthless back. Layne musta fucked my mom cuz he is a mutherfucker for sure....RIP

  8. G.... P....

    "Bite to remind, Bigger mouth repaying tenfold wide" fucking line is genius I tell you.

  9. E.... C....

    I am above

  10. C.... C....

    Ese riff suena como la canción "Cocaine" de Eric Clapton, pero con distorsion.

  11. D.... M....

    If you dislike this your mom is a whore

  12. B.... c....

    great music those days

  13. G.... R....

    Layne, Wood, Cornell, Hoon are above. Someone find Eddie and bubble wrap him.

    G.... R....

    Cobain too

    G.... R....

    @KAMIKAZE J And Dave Grohl.

    G.... R....

    @Kenny Ritchie Dave Grohl is not dead.

    G.... R....

    @KAMIKAZE J Apologies. Responded to the wrong person. I meant bubble wrap Dave Grohl.

    G.... R....

    They were all just trying to keep up with Mark Lanegan. Seriously. The guy is a legit Kingpin that held a lot of that scene together. He's still continuing to kicking ass and also has another book coming out in early 2020. My sources say it's pretty deep and covers a LOT of ground. Look for it soon.

  14. L.... T....

    What a fucking badass album Layne was a super fucking 🌟

  15. W.... A....

    Debulho, uma gíria do meu povoado que significa MasterPiece

  16. M.... O....

    My god this band was and still better than anything thats out now by far

  17. M.... M....

    Layne was the best.

  18. L.... T....

    My favorite song on this album, yes I said album !!!LOL

  22. T.... P....

    Man, that's bad. Still, I got a good price off some schmuck on eBay a couple of years ago so I wasn't all that sorry I'd been trend-conned into buying the phonographic turd.

  23. I.... O....

    The live version I remember cocaine from Eirck Clpaton

  24. T.... P....

    SAD, BORING, JUNKIE, CASH-IN, DIRGEFEST!

    Get it up yeez!!!

    T.... P....

    You are what we call a Non Entity! ..

    T.... P....

    @Adam Turner Yes, 'that's right'. A 'non-entity' that was there when this scene was happening at the age of around 20 or so and saw Mudhoney, Soundgarden many times and Nirvana before Nevermind (purely to give you some back story or frame of reference, not for what I bet you'd love to infer in a knee jerk reaction and accuse me of, although you probably still will). And I also knew that while Dirt and the albums that followed were alright, AIC were still a bit of a tryhard, hangin on the coat tails, kind of band and that this fucking boring shitty album, which I wasted money buying, by the way (because I also liked the Screaming Trees) was a mournful uninspired litany of pedestrian dirges and a clear cut cynical case of trying to make hay while the sun fucking shone.

    It is a caricature-like pandering to a newly expanded fanbase of bandwagon jumpers and a load of generic, grunge by numbers, guff.

    If someone not liking the music that you like makes them a non-entity in your eyes, then you are welcome to your opinions. Good luck with them.

    But rest assured that you like fucking rubbish.

    T.... P....

    What exactly did you do with your life, you tired old fuck? ... Leave the Music to the Talented. Who the fuck do you think you are calling them junkies etc ? You sound like a bitter, jaded, old cunt! "A never have" and "A never will" .... Thats you!

  25. n.... ....

    Could anyone who disliked this please honestly let me know why?

  26. M.... O....

    Happy 51st Layne Staley!! Never forgotten!

  27. A.... O....

    New music can't touch the creativity of any of the grunge era

  28. W.... M....

    01:46 AMEI KKKK SÓ os Brazucas🇧🇷

  29. A.... S....

    Still miss him.....RIP layne 💕💕💕........

  30. �.... �....

    I miss you Layne Staley

  31. V.... D....

    those harmonies... Chills! what to ask for more? Lanegan and Staley two classy motherfuckers! Classic! Too epic!

  32. K.... S....

    This guitar riff is one of my favorites of all time

  33. J.... D....

    Lane also did the album artwork

  34. S.... W....

    Another amazing piece in a magnificent mass,,,,,

  35. J.... B....

    Anger motivates...nobody truly gives a fuck

    Baker graduated from New Trier High in 1973 and lived on the third floor of his folks house in Kenilworth, Illinois. After being T-boned by a car while riding his 1974 Ducati 750 Sport, he was put into a body cast. He began playing bass in the summer of '75.

    J.... B....

    John Barthell he must've been in incredible physical pain and emotional thinking his body may never be the same, and the things he would not be able to do. glad he found music to help. He seemed so interstesting. Thanks for facts..

  45. m.... h....

    It's too bad this band didn't record any more albums because they're fucking awesome. RIP Layne Staley and John Baker Saunders. If I spelled the last guy's name wrong, please forgive me.

  46. p.... d....

    wish marks voice was a little louder in the chorus!

  47. l.... ....

    Layne Staley, Mike McCready, Barrett Martin, John Baker Saunders and Mark Lanegan! I think Above from Mad Season is my favorite album from the 90's along with Dirt, Sap, Jar Of Flies, Alice In Chains from AIC and Ten from PJ!

  48. S.... S....

    ill try to stay as golden as I possibly can ill stay true to what I know that for sure

  49. S.... S....

    ill try to stay as golden as I possibly can ill stay true to what I know that for sure

  50. S.... b....

    music like this just doesn't happen anymore or maybe things change so much new something music is relatable. to think layne and mike had there bands and were able to make a masterpiece like this. heroin is a hell of a drug but this wouldn't of happened without it. sad but true

  51. S.... B....

    33 people are Katy Perry fans.

  52. N.... H....

  64. B.... L....

    Mad Season was a Seattle superband... Layne is amazing no lie but give credit to all the members who wrote the music he's singing... They were all so amazing... Gifted and talented to their bones... So much blood sweat and tears!! Nothing compares...

    B.... L....

    Bobby Larson Layne gets full credit for all of the lyrics on this album. McCready even said so, as he let Layne have full reign over the lyrics. The music itself, definitely have to give credit to the other guys in the band.

  65. a.... a....

    layne the best words ever aic and mad season we miss you rip ❤

  66. j.... p....

    I don't think I want to stand above anymore. Standing off to the side with a view works for me, because things that go up do come down!

    j.... p....

    john price
    The problem with being above is that once you experience it. That's all you want but you can't get above unless you start below. How can you start below when you are already above. I think they might have had some issues with drugs

  67. D.... S....

    beatiful contrast when they sing together

    D.... S....

    Dave Sanders Amazing!

  68. J.... W....

    Life reveals what is ill perceived , circle comes around each time.

  79. C.... H....

    lol at the comments in here, "I hate the world and everyone in it, fuck the world for all its worth, every inch of planet earth," "Love doesn't exist," and "sick fucking solo." I mean, I agree with all of that, but us metal/grunge-type people are hilariously predictable.

    C.... H....

    Isn't everyone so predictable? Life is so predictable.

    C.... H....

    Nice Pantera reference

    C.... H....

    dude wtf you fucked my shit up
