Screaming Trees - Darkness, Darkness (audio only)

[pneumatictrousers]

Still one of the best played and sung covers of this song I've ever heard.

Ghostwhiskey~ "darkness darkness, be my blanket. hold my head, and let me sleep." i believe this song is more about the comfort and relative safety of nightfall after another day in Viet Nam, facing death all day, and relief in not succumbing to it. "Keep my mind form constant yearning toward the things i cannot be, things i cannot see" refers to the life he would have chosen if not drafted to war.

[ghostwhiskey]

i know its a cover but this is the sound of a man at peace with death,not wishing for it but not fearing it

[dasmegabyte]

I believe this was featured on the soundtrack to True Lies (fun film).

This would have been either slightly before or slightly after the release of the heavily "produced" but simply fantastic Dust record. The trees broke up only a few years later, scattering to the four winds...Barrett Martin would go on to make some fabulous jazz records (not to mention Mad Season, the Mike McCready side project with Layne Staley on vox). Van Connor would form the stoner rock group VALIS.

@dasmegabyte yeah this wouldve been on the "doomed"album they recorded between sweet oblivion and dust,i hope some day they release it

'True Lies', it is.; Check out my sound-track review for it when it comes up & please sub-scribe.

Mark Lanegan FTW, as always :P

[microdotgnome]

One of Lanegan's best vocal performances, he never likes to sing high but he sounds amazing when he does.

Anthony Kiedis is only one year older then you

[markino1963]

[jarbo26]

[Ritsukuni]

Excelent

[yobet17]

impressive version...still like the ian matthews...

[asarapi]

ok arrangement, timing on vocal could have a bit more swing, seemed to me like when a kid tries to sing on time, but maybe that's "their style"? Anyway, Kudos for trying, epic song.

[WolverineDeus]

Most excellent - good variation on the original on Elephant Mountain

[implodioticus]

Good vocals! Kompliment!
