RIP the two members of Screaming Trees Mark Lanegan (November 25, 1964 - February 22, 2022), aged 57 Van Conner (March 17, 1967 - January 17, 2023), aged 55 You both will be remembered as legends.
Not underrated....they self destructively destroyed their own career with in fighting and on stage meltdowns.....they had the world's ear....and they blew it under a fog of self doubt and the stereotypes of rock and roll....the drinks and drugs cloud judgement...and ruin your life. Could have been one of the greats...now a grunge footnote or also ran.....too bad too...great music.
Rest In Peace Mark Lanegan. The first time I listened to this song I was totally bewitched and had to listened to all the rest, what a beautiful voice and what a profound artist. Thank you for your beautiful music.
Screaming Trees has to be the most underrated band of the grunge era. Don’t get me wrong I love me some AIC and some Soundgarden and Pearl Jam but these guys kick ass.
Señor Archicadio yeah but got their notoriety while in Seattle . They did start in ellensburg but moved to Seattle and got lumped into the Seattle sound. That’s like calling nirvana an Aberdeen band
@@sliverhandsonbasses I saw many of these bands in Seattle in the 90s, and the best drummers Iever heard live were Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees, Mad Season) and Mike Musburger (The Posies, Fastbacks). I never saw Grohl or Abbruzzese live.
This band is one of the most underrated ones of the history. Lanegan’s voice is so deep, so rich and the songs are so well done… They weren’t as popular and I don’t know whether it’s positive or negative, but hope their songs remain as appreciated (or more) through the ages. Mark Lanegan will be missed af!
Goodbye Mark. You enriched our lives with the music you sang on. As we get older, 'tis hard to see people we listen to die. Especially when they are about our age
Rest in peace Mr. Lanegan, thank you very much for your art, and for your words. You are one of my most favorite vocalists, thank you. I will greatly miss you sir.
Hell yeah! Look at Van Conner tearing it up. This is the perfect start to this perfect album, their best, IMHO. They took their musical prowess and matched it with ambitious compositions, complex arrangements, psyche influences and flawless production. Sweet Oblivion is a monument of an album.
As much as I love Sweet Oblivion, I do love Dust more for it's more forward thinking approach. It's more adventurous and still this psychedelia garage sound with more influences.
It's a beautiful album as well. I gues it comes down to personal preference. If it didn't have as many slow songs as it does, maybe it would be my favorite too.
I just found out about Mark passing away just now. He was a fantastic singer, one of my favs. Of all the music from Seattle (I lived there during The Grunge Years!) The Screaming Trees songs are the ones I sing of around the house. COVID-19 SUCKS
Totally agree man! Layne and Mark are vocal gods! You may have heard of them, but you should check out the band Mad Season, which has Layne on most songs, but Mark is in a couple such as their song Long Gone Day.
I'll never forget the Trees.......''Oh Sweet Oblivion'' So many ignorant people out there, see that I am not alone. When I was a child I didn't understand what this song meant, just simply loved it!
I want to say it's been 20 years since I've heard this song. Truly a strange feeling. Starting to understand that getting old means you get to hear about all your heroes dying. Sad. ♥️
I simply love this diamond album ever since it was published.

The moment I heard Mark Lanegan on QOTSA I thought. "WTF IS GOING ON WHY DID I NEVER LISTEN TO THIS VOICE BEFORE" Then I listened to Nearly Lost You, and never came back. Screaming Trees is fucking awesome and I still can't understand how this is not the recognizable soundtrack of the whole fucking 90's
The hour is ending, can't you see? There is no way now, to be free In the shadow of the season Without a reason to carry home A reason Without a reason And from the north woods down to the valley In a world of hurting, I'm moving on Out from the lighthouse, out on the ocean Can't climb the mountain, so very tall Said, "Lord please give me what I need" He said, "There's pain and misery" Oh, sweet oblivion feels alright The hour is drawing ever closer And rolling over, won't let me be In the shadow of the season To find a reason, to carry home Said, "Lord please give me what I need" He said, "There's pain and misery" Oh, sweet oblivion Calls me onward to her side And feels her song deep inside And find the reason In the shadow of the season To find a reason, to carry home In the shadow of the season To find a reason, to carry home Find a reason To carry home, to carry home To find a reason To carry home, to carry home
Lanegan is one of my favorite vocalists of all time. If Morrison started his career in the 90s this is what he would sound like. Not taking anything away for Lanegan but there's defiantly similarities.
Josh Buckley That's what I just was thinking! The Doors missed out on this one ! When they were calling on all the other singers to cover Jims songs! Such as Ian Astberry, Scott Weiland, Eddie Vedder! Mark would have been dead on ! Sounding like him , looking kinda like him ! They really shouldve Had Mark singing doing his songs !
There are three rock singers post-Morrison who I always associate with Jim Morrison - Ian Curtis (Joy Division), Ian Astbury (The Cult), and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, solo, etc.). Lanegan probably had the best voice of the three, and IMO the best voice of any of the "grunge" or early 1990s "Seattle scene" singers, including Chris Cornell (who himself had an amazing voice).
Cara se você não fala eu não iria saber tão cedo que ele morreu , na minha opinião era o melhor vocalista de grunge eu tinha na época o vinil Sweet abolivion screaming trees
I have to confess the best love song, in my opinion, is the flame by cheap trick. I had a lovely, beautiful (I could use every nice word in the thesaurus, of whatever it's called) angel sing it in my ear once when i was a teenager. It's the perfect love song because a girl can sing it to a guy, and a guy can sing it to a girl. It's a two way street.
Long live Lanegan🤘🙌🤘 may your voice never be silent! Until next time brother, thanks for everything! Such a badass rocker...one of the best ever in my book. forever a legend!
When I saw them open for Soul Asylum and Spin Doctors in the 90s they opened with this song.. Blew me away.. I saw them at Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, NC.. It was called the Alternative Nations tour I believe..
I used to live in NYC and in the '90s we would go see these guys in small bars in New Jersey. I gotta tell you, they put on a great show and sound EXACTLY like this live........Legend indeed!!
I watched this old doc on the muscle shoals studio musicians and one of the guys from it said that you can usually here the environment where the artist grew up in through their music . He was talking about the down south country fried rock/ blues but that man was exactly right . Having grew up in WA state this song is very symbolic of the moderate/Rainy/ chilly environment for which the trees come from . And yes I know they cane from eastern Wa
this song alones covers Mark's amazing singing and ability to give edge when needed. Man and the whole band is just solid tight without missing any time! I was a kid when this was out but I appreciate it more nowadays. RiP Mark n Van, legends!
I got this album back in 93..wore the CD out playing it again and again..perfect blend of power and subtlety, great songs and fantastic musicians, I burned a copy for a mate and he loved it too. I mean...who the fuck wouldn't!!
His vocals are haunting, rough, and gritty. But he has amazing range, and his solo career after the Screaming Trees was epic. Few artists grabbed my attention from the get-go, and Mark Lanegan was truly someone I looked up to, musically speaking. It’s incredible to me that a band that fought so much was able to make music that would stick with me all my life. His passing was sudden, and gave me pause. I couldn’t know a musical world without him, but I ducked back into his catalogue of music, and found myself at home. He was the first vocalist whose lyrics I paid close attention to. R.I.P.
Mark Lanegan my favorite singer. I loved his imperfect, rustic voice. I'm so devastated. His story has gotten me through hard times. Screaming trees came on the scene for me in early 90s. A guy at a record shop turned me on to them. I've been obsessed since. Never get tired of them
Screaming Trees não foram tão badalados quantos os outros Nirvana e Sound Garden ,sua mistura de psicodelia com a agressividade do som da época faz deles únicos ,grande banda.Long Live Rock'n'Roll.
Cornell, Staley and Lanegan. The best voices of 90s
And all are in heaven now :(
@@alexmalch Yes wey :(
Cobain is the best
@@jorgebada2594 *worst
@@alexmalch everyone knows he's the best and powerfull voice
R.I.P. Mark Lanegan.
Unique voice and will be missed by many.
May The lord bless his sweat soul.
I always thought that him and lane had the best vocals of that era. Especially in the lower tones. Mark will definitely be missed!

RIP the two members of Screaming Trees
Mark Lanegan (November 25, 1964 - February 22, 2022), aged 57
Van Conner (March 17, 1967 - January 17, 2023), aged 55
You both will be remembered as legends.
Oh man I didn't know about Van. Fantastic musician. RIP Van and the one and only Mark Lanegan too. Sad News.
😢
Drugs/drinking took their toll.
You copy and pasted this dude
Sean Hollister too, his drumming on their jethro tull cover was great
Criminally underrated band
💯% correct on that one. If not for the movie Singles they may not have had any exposure at all.
Not underrated....they self destructively destroyed their own career with in fighting and on stage meltdowns.....they had the world's ear....and they blew it under a fog of self doubt and the stereotypes of rock and roll....the drinks and drugs cloud judgement...and ruin your life. Could have been one of the greats...now a grunge footnote or also ran.....too bad too...great music.
Im a 90s kid and I didn't find out about these guys until a friend showed me this song back in 2010.
so many grunge bands are
I saw them live at the Showbox in Seattle in 1991
If Chris Cornell was vocally the master of high notes, Lanegan was the King of the low notes.
Damn, both Seattle Legends gone too soon...
great analogy!
Nicolás Riveros Ever heard Goth music?
actually cc was the master of all notes.
Nicolás well said!
I would argue Vedder but now you opened my eyes dude
Rest In Peace Mark Lanegan. The first time I listened to this song I was totally bewitched and had to listened to all the rest, what a beautiful voice and what a profound artist. Thank you for your beautiful music.
@Hunter Vonnegut Como chingas con tu spam wey
Comigo aconteceu a mesma coisa.....Viva Mark Lanegan👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
RIP Van Conner. You are amazing and will never be forgotten. Thank you for writing amazing songs. You helped heal the world.
One of the best friends I've ever had
This truly is incredible. The groov is otherworldly and hypnotic!
Screaming Trees has to be the most underrated band of the grunge era. Don’t get me wrong I love me some AIC and some Soundgarden and Pearl Jam but these guys kick ass.
Rest in Peace Mark Lanegan
One of the best vocalists in the past 40 years
Mark and Layne had the purest and most amazing voices of the era.
Cornell is missing, and it's all said! The 3 best of the glorious 90s!
I forgot the great Jeff Buckley! My mistake! How can I forget that voice! idiot!
And both were in Mad Season!
@@matthofer2431 And Cornell covered Mad Season years later
Lanegan's vocal on this is just perfect. Subtlety, warmth, power, rawness - it's got everything all at once.
The most incredible era of music yet to be bettered.
The last honest, original era of music. Probably ever: everything is autotuned and AI-generated now.
I cannot listen to the Trees without thinking of QOTSA's Songs for the Deaf. His voice was SO cemented into that record.
He was Qotsa's secret weapon
@@agdgdgwngo That whole album is just dripping with talent. We were so spoiled to have it.
Mark, Gary, Van and Barrett were all on point.
Such a solid rock n roll song.
Can't get any better.
Feel so fortunate to have seen them live at Western Washington University back in 94!
My favorite singer. Gone. But what a legacy. I know you suffered, brother, but thank you for the incredible art that you have left for all of us.
One of the greatest bands of the 90s. Mark Lanegan’s voice was Sweet Oblivion. RIP Mark.
Up there with the best of Seattle.
Señor Archicadio yeah but got their notoriety while in Seattle . They did start in ellensburg but moved to Seattle and got lumped into the Seattle sound. That’s like calling nirvana an Aberdeen band
For me Barrett Martin was the best drummer in the grunge era. Criminally underrated!
@Hunter Vonnegut I’ll go checking! 🙏🏿
He seems to beat the living shit out of his drums. I approve.
Him and abbruzzese
@@Casherr93 Yeah that's another one!

I bought this CD when it came out and never stopped listening to it. Love the Trees! RIP Mark Lanegan....... 😢
One of the most underrated songs ever...why just 296,021 views?...I think they deserve at least a million.
+maximum96 Fuck them!!! this is just a classic !!!!
+maximum96 Quote!!! I think two millions!! ;-)
i totally agree with u, but is nice to see almost the double of the views after just one year.
maximum96 ...totally agree
I thought the same thing!
Best grunge band of the 90's. And I have not forgotten about Pearl Jam, Soundgarden etc
Agreed Bjorn
Greetings from Oman 🇴🇲
Gary Lee Conner is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Not super technically complex, but oozing with energy and soul.
Today's my first day digging into this, and I can't believe what I'm hearing - what an incredibly inventive guitarist, holy shit.
Never gonna stop myself from having anything but clear memories of Mark
Rest in peace Mr. Lanegan, thank you very much for your art, and for your words. You are one of my most favorite vocalists, thank you. I will greatly miss you sir.
R.I.P. Mark Lanegan, wonderful voice and musician.
Hell yeah! Look at Van Conner tearing it up. This is the perfect start to this perfect album, their best, IMHO. They took their musical prowess and matched it with ambitious compositions, complex arrangements, psyche influences and flawless production. Sweet Oblivion is a monument of an album.
Awwww, graciassss, love it !

VAN CONNER IS A LIVING GOD! AND THE CUTEST, SEXIEST FAT GUY EVER!
I remember buying this cd in '93. Still one of my favorite albums from the 90s. :))

Ya that was a good record, thx 4 reminding
An underrated but influential band in the '90s with an awesome name! I'm revisiting Screaming Trees this evening. 🌲🌲🌲
I'm on a binge of Screaming Trees and Foo Fighters right now, RIP Mark Lanegan and Taylor Hawkins 🙏🏼 respect from El Salvador
Mark, Layne, Kurt, Scott, Chris has been passed away pioneer of grunge, only Eddie now has alone
So very sad to hear of Van's passing today. RIP Van 💔
This is one of the bands that I keep for myself. My friends woudn't understand the awsomenes of this.
I need these songs to live, But each time I listen, I feel as if a physical part of me has been stripped from my bones.
THIS is the best thing ever from this surreally great group of serious musicians.
Never heard of these guys before but wow. Just. Wow. Amazing
“Say Lord please give me what I need” gives me chills every time !
The Screaming Trees. A band with layers upon layers of SOUL.
I used to jam out to this band with my dad as a child, I had a great childhood.
RIP Mark....Thanks for the music and memories
RIP to Mark L.
Thanks for your music 😭
Rest in peace mark. You left us all with the gift of your music. We will never forget you. Legends live forever.
man RIP Mark, thanks for all the unreal music and lyrics. you'll live on forever in all that you done!

Man I miss the 90s when songs like this filled the Seattle airwaves.
Oh my god! THE Screaming Tree's are so AMAZING! WOW!

What an awesome band. I loved "Nearly Lost You" back in the day. Now I regret not looking deeper into the band and their music.
The hour is ending, can't you see?
There is no way now, to be free
In the shadow of the season
Without a reason to carry home
A reason
Without a reason
And from the north woods down to the valley
In a world of hurting, I'm moving on
Out from the lighthouse, out on the ocean
Can't climb the mountain, so very tall
Said, "Lord please give me what I need"
He said, "There's pain and misery"
Oh, sweet oblivion feels alright
The hour is drawing ever closer
And rolling over, won't let me be
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason, to carry home
Said, "Lord please give me what I need"
He said, "There's pain and misery"
Oh, sweet oblivion
Calls me onward to her side
And feels her song deep inside
And find the reason
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason, to carry home
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason, to carry home
Find a reason
To carry home, to carry home
To find a reason
To carry home, to carry home

I agree completely
Descansa em paz, Mark Lanegan. Obrigada pela tua música e pela tua voz. Foste a banda sonora de um longo período da minha vida.

One of the best intros to a song
RIP Mark…on my Mount Rushmore of Grunge in my studio (along with Staley, Cornell, Wood, and Cobain)…
I have to confess the best love song, in my opinion, is the flame by cheap trick. I had a lovely, beautiful (I could use every nice word in the thesaurus, of whatever it's called) angel sing it in my ear once when i was a teenager. It's the perfect love song because a girl can sing it to a guy, and a guy can sing it to a girl.
It's a two way street.

I'm heart broken. Thank you and rest in peace
When I saw them open for Soul Asylum and Spin Doctors in the 90s they opened with this song.. Blew me away.. I saw them at Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, NC.. It was called the Alternative Nations tour I believe..
Lmao@Spin Doctors. You definitely got some strange pairings as the pop-'80s bled into the grunge-'90s.
