Biography

Rock band formed in 1984 in Ellensburg, Washington, USA. Screaming Trees was a unique voice in the Pacific Northwest "grunge" scene. Their sound was more psychedelic, garage-rock, and '70s hard rock influenced which made them stand out amongst their peers. After a couple independent releases on local [l=Velvetone Records (2)], they were signed to [l=SST Records] where they released 3 albums (from 1987 to 1989) before making the jump to [l=Epic] Records in 1990. Their Epic debut "Uncle Anesthesia" was released around the same time as major label debuts from Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains hit the stores... but Screaming Trees didn't have their first hit until their second Epic album "Sweet Oblivion" came out and their first single from that album appeared on the soundtrack for the movie "Singles". The band broke up in 2000, and [a=Mark Lanegan] continued his solo projects from there. [a=Mark Lanegan] and [a=Barrett Martin] were also involved in the side-project [a=Mad Season] along with [a=Alice In Chains] singer [a=Layne Staley].

LYRICS

This is for footsteps approaching the night
They keep themselves moving and do what is right
Now watch what you gather and hold in your hand
Numbers are many who misunderstand
Drink your wine away instead
I won't remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me nevermore

That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame

Tell you a story of that which comes last
All of the sorrow that lives in the past
Now if you're tired of all that's been told
Don't be surprised that I've grown so old

Drink your wine away instead
I won't remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me nevermore

That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame

Breathing blind shadows or dead on the vine
I'm there in the morning to take you sometimes
To watch what you gather and hold in your hand
The numbers are many who misunderstand

Drink your wine away instead
I wont remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me nevermore

That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame (x 3)
Oh yeah
Must be a crying shame (x 3)
