Now that we've run this road so many times
Tonight it will not take us home
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
One more or less it's all the same
Now that it's feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Now that we've closed our eyes so many times
Tonight I cannot see a thing
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
And now you know just who to blame
For why you're feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)

great story!
great story!
RIP Van - 55 is just way too young an age to die. I'm starting to like Screaming Trees a bit more, sorry it was too late for you and Mark. LLRP
lanegan was always one of my favorite voices and still is. appreciate the amount of trees that rp plays.

It's segue, but I know what you mean.
RIP Mark Lanegan.
What an awesome song. RIP Lanegan.
The Russian soul is felt in the song: The night, the snow, the universal power inside requires realization, but there is nowhere to apply it. And the bear didn't come, you're drinking alone...
Isn´t it strange that most of the outstanding male voices within that last decades were related with Grunge/90s?... Lanegan, Staley/Cantrell, Vedder, Cornell, Wyndorf....

wanted to stay the night somewhere cheap, so we drove down a forest road for a bit. the first flat pull off spot was in a clearcut, but we were dead tired, so we cuddled up in the back of the station wagon. And laid there, listening to the trees. They weren't screaming. They were whispering about how much they hated the humans who had done this to them. Unlike me, my girlfriend was no tree hugger, so I was surprised when she turned to me with fear in her eyes. we were able to drive the rest of the night, powered by putting some distance between them and us.

Hearing Mark's voice makes me feel like I'm going to cry.

Screaming Trees! A not so known band with an even less known song. Not a single bad song on that album, so underrated. Thank you, RP!
Feels like there is nothing to explain....
hammer on iron - phenomenal!

Good Tune!!
Plodding. Just plodding.
Love me some genuine rock, but I prefer some jangle and frantic energy rather the dark, heavy kind seen here...

I like to believe that they murmur……
Still what a great song, just wow!

I seem to recall those boys rolling around on stage like beach balls.
In addition to my story below, I got to see these guys play at the long disappeared Iguanas in Tijuana, MX. There they had a real stage to work with and the Conner boys would go to each end of it and then run toward each other and slamming behind Lanegan, all while playing and not missing a beat.

I wish the wife wasn't home so I could crank the speakers loud enough to rattle the windows!

One of the many bands I wish I'd seen in concert during my youth.

Saw Screaming Trees play a side gig at the Prince of Wales, St Kilda when they were in Australia for the Big Day Out sometime in 90's. Hands down the LOUDEST gig I've ever been to. Felt like I was being pounded by the proverbial wall of sound!

"Wow, that's a real segway for me. I was just about to post about the times I've seen ST when I saw this post. First time was on their Uncle Anesthesia tour and they were opening for Drivin' n Cryin' at the smallest flippin' bar in Melbourne, Florida called the Wine Gallery (they had beer too). To this day I don't know how the brothers and Lanegan fit on the stage which couldn't have been bigger than 10' x 15'. Didn't really know ST at the time though had heard a few songs on the college radio (WFIT - best college radio ever at that time). This bar was about half the size of your typical 7-11. So ST does their set, I'm impressed, but really there to see DNC. Place is packed shoulder to shoulder, and DNC starts rocking out, I'm up front maybe 2 bodies back from Kevn's mike stand (BTW the stage is a whopping four inches high, so you're basically eye level with the band). Anyway, I'm trying to rockout and get some mild slamming going and this guy next to me nudges me and says "this crowd doesn't know how to rock out" I look over and it's one of the big brothers from ST. So I say something in agreement and he proceeds to slam into my shoulder and I back into his and that got the crowd moving. Fun times."
So after slamming around with the guy from ST for most of DNC's show, they come to the end of their set and we start clamoring for an encore and I take my empty beer mug and start banging it on one of the monitors (it's louder that way). Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam, I get tired of banging the bottom of the mug and in my semi drunk condition, I turn the mug on it's side with my hand through the handle. Bam Bam CRASH. The mug shatters, I see blood, look at my hand and my palm is cut decently just below the base of my thumb and bleeding profusely. Some guy that works there rushes in to help in full panic mode. Takes me back to their little kitchen, and I get a paper towel on it while he looks for anything resembling first aid - no luck, but he finds duct tape. So a folded paper towel for gauze and duct tape bandage it is. He's trying to help and very carefully and oh so SLOWLY is wrapping my hand. I grabbed it from him, a couple of quick wraps around the wrist and once over and around the thumb. Ripped the roll off, said thanks, rushed back to the stage for the encore. Great show, one the best of my life.
Perhaps it's just this song, but I hear Jon Dee Graham, who has his own 'big river' song...
Masterpiece album. Saw them open for Alice in Chains in 1993. Never got tired of ST.

THIS IS WHAT ROCK SOUNDS LIKE
If a tree screams in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Yes, it is a similar progression, (vi - IV - I - V) which is also used in many other songs. It's funny how reminiscent it is in this tune though. It also vaguely reminds me of "Sister Seagull" by Be Bop Deluxe - different chords though.
Does anyone else hear a resemblance to "If you're going to San Francisco (wear some flowers in your hair)"? It's in the chord progressions, not the style of the song itself.

An underappreciated Seattle band...This song is very Mother Love Bone...

My "first" was Mother Love Bone. A friend had a mixtape (from his older brother, natch) that he presented to us for consideration like a pearl in its shell, still dripping and covered in sea-bottom sand. We were speechless.
This was the first "Grunge" band I found and enjoyed. I had this cassette in my car until about 2009 when I finally got a car without a tape deck. I guess I rocket that one well past its expiration date but always enjoyed it!

Ah, Mark Lanegan. What a voice, never really took notice of Screaming Trees back in the day i was more of an Alice fan for grunge.
Have all his solo work and cannot go wrong with any of them especially Whiskey for the Holy Ghost.

I am sorry that I missed out picking up on them before; but much thanks to RP for giving me the chance to catch up at last.
Had never clearly heard the baseline before listening to it with Sony earbuds on the iPhone. Refreshing to discover new aspects in old favorites.

I only have one of their albums (Dust) and the lyrics to "All I Know" from that one seem similarly influenced:
"Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
Disconnect the telephone line"
Not a rarity with Seattle rockers to get mixed up in this stuff — i.e. Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain.

Hell yeah! There was a lot of great stuff to come out of Seattle besides the obvious. The Screaming Trees are one of my favorites as is Green River. Green River is arguably the original Seattle sound band. They date back to the mid-eighties. If I remember right, one of the guys in Pearl Jam was in Green River. Anyway, I'm always psyched to hear this song on RP :-)
Both Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament were in Green River. What about the band that Pearl Jam rose from the ashes of, Mother Love Bone?

THAT would be sweet! I'd definitely go. I heard recent talk of Soundgarden reunion tour. Here's hoping it won't be at Key Arena.... (horrible acoustics) Loved the whole "Sweet Oblivion" album — somehow I've neglected to upgrade it from cassette... I've still got the Singles soundtrack on CD though!Where the hell was I when this was new? Oh yeah... languishing in a small down with one (non-country) shitty radio station where the programming director still worshiping at the alter of Aqua Net and thought Hair Metal was the end-all be-all of music.

Lanegan has a great voice, very distinctive.
Shame that he's such a primadonna. I went to a solo gig a couple of years ago, and he really let the audience know how annoyed he was that evening (with the location? something he ate? I'll never know). Anyway, after only 80 minutes or so he just left without a thank-you-and-goodbye and without any encores. The general feeling was that it was probably better for everybody that way, and that next time we'll just stay at home and listen to his CDs.
one of my favourite bands.
yeah...this is the stuff.
lanegan. yeah.
lanegan. yeah.
I keep hearing "galactic river".

There's not a time I tune in that I don't consider donating MORE than my twice-a-year auto amount. Love the Paradise.
