That sure sounds like Mountain alright, Theme for an Imaginary Western. Good stuff anyway.

Strange. I heard "Beth". I didn't want to, it just happened.

This is easily the weakest ST cut available - couldn't someone have uploaded something that didn't suck? Something like, "Nearly Lost You" from Sweet Oblivion?
 
Agreed — love Screaming Trees, but this song is "meh".  It's making me want to hear Shadow of The Season from Sweet Oblivion — could someone please upload that track?

melodic grunge, hmh - screaming trees music I'd just call "cool music"

for me their music is simply timeless...i still love their records...even more than "back then".

back then - I was just a "baby" (concerning music taste)

feeling young is soooooooooo goooooooood
 

I saw them with Soul Asylum and (gasp) the Spin Doctors in 1992? You'll have to forgive me for my bad taste. I was only 15 years old.

Is there any way that I can rate this song an 11?

Screaming Trees Biography  

"Even on first appearance, Screaming Trees had more sense of history, and a load more talent, than the welter of grunge-styled bands formed in the Seattle/Washington area in the mid-1980s. And it's a promise they at last fulfilled with their 1996 masterpiece, Dust... a perfect synthesis of their many influences, with splashes of Byrds and Hendrix-style guitar, and use of sitars and tablas, produced with unerring clarity by George Drakoulias. Lanegan was on top vocal form, the lyrics (sin, redemption, cold turkey) perfect in their restraint; the guitars and instrumentation wild."

I disagree. Dust is a marvellous album, which somehow, needs some attention to realise it. However I agree that 'Nearly Lost You' is their most powerful track ever. Pay some respect to Dust, is worth it!

Awesome. ST doesn't get much play, but I love it when it RP shows them a little love.

Nah, I think the Numb Inversion version of Something About Today is pretty lame. And some of the stuff off of their first couple of albums was amateurish. Love the Trees, and I've got EVERYTHING available.
