No Picture Buck Wanna Be	#1 by Buck Naked at Dec 6, 1970 at 6:11 PM EST
	"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 " Man, these words strike right to the core of anyone who has gone to college and had strong friendships there. This song is completely about regret and how fate just isnt fair sometimes. We all know of Layne's problems with heroin which ultimately led to his demise. The art which was created from his torment is of a caliber which will be hard to match but surely will be imitated. I have kept this song at the forefront of my mind and I find myself referring to it any time these familiar emotions are stirred. Truly a classic and definitely one of the best songs yet composed.

No Picture Ryan Wanna Be	#2 by Ryan Berehulke at Dec 1, 1972 at 4:07 AM EST
	What the hell? Is this all Layne?

No Picture Devon Wanna Be	#3 by Devon Moreno at Dec 10, 1972 at 2:15 PM EST
	The booklet actually has a few errors in it... The last time, it is "open flames"... notice that the booklet also has "girl" in the last verse a few times, but it's not there in the song...

No Picture Matt Average	#4 by Matt Wirta at Aug 13, 1978 at 9:42 PM EST
	Sounds more like Eddie than Layne..

No Picture steffan Badass	#5 by steffan harkins at Sep 21, 1979 at 12:27 PM EST
	that live version at the moore sounds even better than the album version!

No Picture jordan Average	#6 by jordan sjsjtkiris at Oct 8, 1979 at 9:00 AM EST
	Silver spoons fix the crown The luckless ones are broken Fears and lies for answers You and open flames I interpret this little stanza as more social commentary. "Silver spoons affix the crowns" refers to how the affluent and wealthy get all the power, while everyone else is held down, some even in poverty. Kinda like the notion of the bourgeoisie verses the proletariat. Then the lyric moves to indicate that all that the media has to offer as to why things are as they are is "fears and lies," eventually leaving us to burn proverbially. I think the song as a whole is a testiment to how your views change with age.

No Picture Smitty Lead Player	#7 by Smitty Warknocks at Jul 18, 1982 at 11:17 PM EST
	I love everything about this song.

No Picture David Wanna Be	#8 by David Albert at Jan 18, 1983 at 1:17 PM EST
	Yer i could relate to it being about grunge dieing, specifically about alice in chains being on hiatus.

No Picture tyler Wanna Be	#9 by tyler hill at Jan 17, 1986 at 5:45 PM EST
	this song could be about relationship inside ALICE IN CHAINS, at least the part where Layne is singing: 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 Too bad that Layne was a junkie.He was so talented, but drugs destroyed and hurt so many people including LAYNE STALEY, KURT COBAIN, ANDREW WOOD, SID VICIOUS and all of us who love their music and always will. REST IN PEACE TOO ALL FALLEN HEROES.

No Picture Tyrone Wanna Be	#10 by Tyrone Pinson at Sep 11, 1986 at 2:47 AM EST
	Ya this song is bad ass man, when Layne says "whoever said we wash away with the rain" it sends chills down my spine.

	if anyone hasn't seen the video of madseason live at the moore playing this song you should go to youtube.com and watch it, it is simply amazing, especially to see the emotion layne put into it

No Picture Tim Rhythm Player	#15 by Tim Jessop at Aug 3, 1993 at 10:25 PM EST
	My heart almost stopped when i heard "i fear again like then i lost my way" i think he is reffering to his addiction. and how he was clean for a very litte time when he wrote this so he's scared that he'll start up again. and he did..and died from it. thats sad.

No Picture Harmless Wanna Be	#16 by Harmless at Aug 15, 1995 at 8:52 AM EST
	This song makes me teard-eyed too. I would like to go back to those summers. "...The music that we made The wind has carried all of that away..." :( I`m sad becouse of Layne`s death.

No Picture Guillaume Wanna Be	#17 by Guillaume at Apr 27, 1997 at 6:11 PM EST
	i had a summer like that, when it ended after that was the worst time of my life. Mark and Layne sound so great they really do.

No Picture Mark Average	#18 by Mark Murray at May 18, 1997 at 5:50 PM EST
	I fear again right then I've lost my way...not I fear again like then I've lost my way... anyways...I would like to think this song is about the eventual dissolution of Alice in Chains.... Layne still misses his friends but for some reason they're not wanting to hang out with him any longer... obviosulythere is more to it than just that, but I haven't quite been able to put two and two together... All I know, is that this song is amazing... Lanegan and and Layne with their voices dancing around eachother gives me shiver everytime I hear this song...

No Picture Justin Average	#19 by Justin at Sep 11, 1997 at 4:19 PM EST
	this is one of the most beautiful songs ever. to me, it's about regret. things you wish you said, things you wish you did. despite all the crap that's happened since, he remembers one summer fondly, even if no one else does. he want's to hold on to that summer forever. i've had a summer like that. i always feel like i'm the only one who remembers what a good time we had. all the friends that shared it with me have forgotten. kinda makes me teary-eyed.

	His vocals were just amazing on this one... RIP Layne. :*(

No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#23 by Chris Tattooed Soul at Aug 13, 2004 at 8:49 AM EST
	this song is one of my favorites by mad season. i think ive figured it all out by the liner notes in the above album. it's basically about wanting to get in touch with those that you loved, but haven't kept in touch with over the years and wanting the good times to last. once they're gone or "washed away with the rain" you feel such isolation and loneliness. the one line that really got me bawling, especially when Layne died was "silver spoons affix the crown. the luckless ones are broken" meaning that many of his friends had drifted into heroin, including himself. and died. this was written only a short time before Demri, Layne's fiance died. they had a falling out a year or so before.

No Picture bigl Wanna Be	#24 by bigl shattuck at Apr 23, 2007 at 1:19 AM EST
	This is the best song I've ever heard.
