The 4400, an American science fiction TV series produced by CBS Paramount Network Television in association with Sky Television, Renegade 83 and American Zoetrope for USA Network. The show was created and written by Scott Peters and René Echevarria, and it stars Joel Gretsch and Jacqueline McKenzie. The series ran for four seasons from 2004 until its cancellation in 2007.
In the pilot episode, what was originally thought to be a comet deposits a group of exactly 4400 people at Highland Beach, in the Cascade Range foothills near Mount Rainier, Washington. Each of the 4400 had disappeared at various times starting from 1946 in a beam of white light. None of the 4400 have aged from the time of their disappearance. Confused and disoriented, they remember nothing of events occurring between the time of their disappearance and their return.

"Gone" was written by vocalist Eddie Vedder on September 30, 2005, in the Room 1152 (where the band stayed that night), of the Borgata Hotel, located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It debuted the next night in a solo performance by Vedder at the band's October 1, 2005 concert in Atlantic City, New Jersey at the Borgata Events Center. The band recorded a demo version of the song that was released as a part of the 2005 Holiday single available to fan club members. Vedder on the song:
"Gone" is about leaving everything behind and moving along. The song brings into perspective perceptions that all is not lost if one chooses to incorporate change. When the song was performed on VH1 Storytellers in 2006, Vedder introduced it as "a car song." In an interview Vedder stated:
Owls is the first studio album by Chicago based Indie rock band Owls.

OWLS is a mnemonic used by general aviation airplane pilots to assess an unprepared surface for a precautionary landing.
Like all mnemonics this check has become part of aviation culture and folklore.
OWLS:
Things never seem to turn out just right
Why I don't know
Things used to move way to fast
Now it seems to move so slow
We used to do lots of cool stuff
Now I just sit and watch TV
Life used to be so exciting
What is wrong with me
*Chorus*
Life is
Supposed to be spontaneous
When we're young
Everything is supposed to move to fast
But Lately
Nothing seems too exciting
I've been getting lazier
Always out first and always in last
I think about the way things used to be
And then I kick myself
Cuz I know it will never be the same
Sometimes I wish I was someone else
I just get so God damn bored
Sometimes I feel like i'm dead
Everything is too calm
