[@psychedelicheadcandy]

Thanks Kurdt

[@st4leymara]

YEAS😏

[@annaknapke7127]

I have read Kurts diary and there I have seen that this Song was Kurt's favorite song for a period of time . He wrote this in a letter to Mark Lanegan. I also think it is a phat Song.

[@stefantrninic9911]

yeah, I am reading that letter from his diary. "What a complete masterpiece"

[@eleonoracarcarino4135]

omg me too!

OMG sameee 😂

[@JHOJAN-rn1dx]

Exactly...

[@SuperSleepy77]

So I'm reading Kurt's diary, this was apparently his favorite song and largest influence starting out. I like it but not as much as the 90's grunge I was introduced to as a teen.

[@twirlqt123]

I came to check this song out because I just read that from his journal too!

[@chandlerball2256]

That's why I am here also. Received the book for Christmas

some ppl just have an earworm for stuff and notice things others dont (not in a better or worse way, just sensitive to different things). you can hear how kurts arrangement and storytelling style in this

[@Rhybos]

RIP Mark

[@tpwk1282]

Kurt's diaries brought me here and I'm glad

[@maybeimjusthappy]

"Polly Pereguin is my favourite song as of this decade." K. :)

[@DatNESGuy85]

You know I wonder if this song kinda influenced Kurt's vocals. He SORTA sounds like Kurt in the beginning, just a little.

[@Kenza-dx8fc]

You are right and kurt said once in his notebook that this song is one of "his fav song of the decenie "

[@Sean021122]

This band got me into writing and music! There was a time when the only cd's I had were Other worlds+Clair-voy-ance+Even If+Invis. lantern+Changes Has Come+Buzz Factory+Uncle+Lee Conner's solo work. I don't even have their more known workl anymore because it reminds me too much of their decline. But I listened to nothing else by any other band for awhile. Good to see I discovered diversity :) But they will always be everything that is strange out here ;)

[@brucedunkle9136]

Man! Dig Gary Lee's solo, and the way Van Conner and Mark Pickerel are playing behind him. These guys were listening to Cream.

[@Enticelove]

I came here because I read in Journals it is Kurt's favourite song....it is true... Kurt is a MISTERY for me....it is the least I can do for understanding him better and deeper..

[@JasonBohl]

Just so you know this song is not just Screaming Trees. It's on an EP with Screaming Trees and Beat Happening. Mark played a great part on the song, however it's composed of both bands!!!

[@Nana3000]

Now Kurt and Mark are hearing this song together! 🤍

[@liliekitsh]

Thanks Kurt ,from France 😘

[@tiffanyponce1373]

the only way I found this song was through Kurt Cobain. thanks dude rock on in rock n roll nirvana/heaven 😉

[@GuitarCoverForMyself]

This song has a huge Kinks feeling going on

[@richardphillips5538]

Defiantly

[@hopefulagnostic336]

I was thinking Velvet Underground.

[@brucedunkle9136]

@@hopefulagnostic336 I hear that. There's a heavy Cream vibe, too. "Tales Of Brave Ulysses".

[@MassiSciaq]

Yes....Kurt fav song...

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

the downward chord sequence reminds me of on a plain

[@Sean021122]

It's a split cd of Screaming Trees/Beat Happening on k records 1988. It's a little hard to get, but only 4 songs on it. This one is the only Trees' contribution. But one of my fav. Invisible Lantern era songs :) You can just envision what it felt like to write, demo, play these songs in that little 4 track recording studio in ellensburg called Velvetone. Steve Fisk is a genius :P

[@twinrivershomevideo6901]

love the Trees

[@francescochiummariello5468]

O KURT COBAIN cita essa musica no diário dele !!!

[@KurtCobainof21]

Because this song is honestly magic to my years. I love the pattern of notes in the verse. Also its great to have a somebody to learn from and "want to be" like Kurt Cobain. Kurt wanted to be John Lennon!

[@bonzo8082]

Leí sobre esta canción en el diario de Kurt. 💖🔥.

[@risala247]

I was led to this by Kurt Cobains journal. I can see why this was his favorite song

[@thesecondYouTube]

No.91 on Greatest Grunge/Washington State tracks.

[@VaderJacobs123]

ah nice to know thank you! those songs are really great indeed

[@MrSimbaLovesMissNala]

RIP :(

[@Voludo_Loco78]

@MassiSciaq yes, it was once maybe in 1989 his favorite songs, but this isn't the only favorite song that Kurt had. In his journal are over 100 so called favorite songs for him listet. He likes Mark, I think this is what counts more than the song by himself....

[@TheProletarius]

Great !!!

[@_u_t_o_n_]

collaboration with Beat Happening

[@richardphillips5538]

A 1980s American rock band which by all intents and purposes should of been as BIG as "The Who" !!!!

[@Enticelove]

@MrLetsdolunch Well, MrLetsdolunch, now I can sign under every word of yours! (except of "lol") Lol)) But seriously.....I feel the same.. I miss him. It is such a bitter feeling to know that he didn't manage to be happy. I think his perception of the world was deeply sad....

[@rarekind6977]

Idk where ppl are finding copies of Kurt's journal but I heard about this on Disgraceland Podcast episode about Kurt & Courtney.....

[@tylerbeaumont]

It's a book. A bunch of scans of Kurt's notes, diaries, lyrics, letters etc. It's a great read for anyone who wants to know more about Kurt and his influences! I highly recommend it

[@fryingfish]

This is a collaboration with Beat Happening. I had the tape. Lol! When I bought it the girl was like "Oh, do you like Beat Happening????" And I was like "Nah, I'm more into the Screaming Trees." Then she was like "oh..."

[@tbanderson45]

@coquinkydink right

[@LoveArt86]

You can hear Cobain talking in the begining.

[@LoveArt86]

Or was just Lannegan...

[@jeremiahunderwood8448]

Look at these comments, don't ever let someone say Kurt Cobain didn't advance everyone with them. Trees are great on their own, but you know how majority of people are, Good job Kurt.

[@DBNA.rt73]

huge Velvet Underground vibe goin on.

[@enzopena1875]

everybody here read kurdts journal am i right ? xD

[@eleonoracarcarino4135]

yeah XD

[@Richie648648]

Yes :)

[@LoveArt86]

This song is so good, because Lannegan sang it 💪

[@xPanicFiex]

Haha yeah, I was just reading his journals :D

[@pegeenwh5694]

Wish someone would explain who this is singing, Greg Dooley?why it is labeled as Lanegan? Sounds like him, but NOT him.

[@Sean021122]

Living in the attic of a boring ass boat house... The picture of polly that she can't be without... She's all wrapped up putting puzzles together. Hoping that maybe... it'll change the weather... Just like polly pereguin shes messin up her hair again, go tell polly pereguin, then you'll see...Comin down the stairs again, polly looked at her sin...Stains upon the floor filled 1 by one. Openin the window that she painted red, the rain outside lands upon her head... Just like polly pereguin...

[@pilusaltor]

kudt kobain

[@ghostwhiskey]

but i will say this; im more envious of Kurts friendship with Lanegan than i am of his sucess with nirvana. 'cause we all know how that ended

[@heuzeymathieu8501]

this sentence is in the personnal diary of kurt

[@Enticelove]

@MrLetsdolunch How can you be sure about that? How can you know?

[@AuNaGu]

Ici grâce à Kurt

[@RebelTechnician]

Exactly it makes the music feel like it's cheap or something

[@Voludo_Loco78]

@KurtCobainof21 He never wantet to be John Lennon, he had huge respect from his music, his whole artwork, from his development of musician skills. And not only Lennon played a huge part how Kurt was thinking about the possibilitys of music/art. The whole Beatles where the band he had the most respect from. He wantet to be a big Rockstar like John was, but Kkurt was never that smallminded that he wished to be John ^Lennon. He just wantet to be once a legend like John, and this he has reached!!!

[@ΒασιλικήΚαριπιαδου]

Is Chad chadding playing the drums?

[@Sean021122]

She's comin down the stairs again, just like Polly Pereguin,..Noticing the carpet stains 1 by one. Then she goes out to the terrace, statues made of plaster of paris...Lighting up a cigarette, she stairs in the sun...Well she's messin up her hair again by sitting in that chair again,then she spills a bvowl of cherries over the wall... Just like polly pergeuin shes messin up her hair again...Then you'll see... Sittin on the bed in a room well after, the aftermath sparks a real disiaster...

[@rarekind6977]

Kinda feeling bad for this band cuz as I scroll thru the comments I see that, like me, pretty much everyone listening to this song did so cuz Kurt Cobain loved it so much. It's alright. Prob be better if I could understand all the lyrics. But what I can decipher is cool.

[@Jojos25]

i don't know why this should be the best pop song of the 80's-90's and i don't understang why kurt cobain wannabes have to agree with him in that area.

[@kx4tee]

here from kurt's journal

[@Enticelove]

@MrLetsdolunch Well, maybe he was a contradictory person - fantasised etc. Do you think it's bad? I guess it is different from lies anyway. For sure he was complicated and many-sided personality. Don't you agree?

[@CelsoCalvin]

Mark Lanegan Rules

[@ghostwhiskey]

stop talking about kurt,i appreciate that fact too but hear it for what it is

[@Enticelove]

@merocket Why you say so?))

[@grapesoftime]

Hey I think this Kurt Cobain guy had pretty good taste 😂😉

[@cpHiJet]

is that kelly mckee on backing vocals?

[@nataleem1998]

@Sean021122 ????? Interesting lyrics, but why are you posting them? I like them.

[@jpride100]

y not??????????

[@fortunecookieprize]

It's probably Heather Lewis.

[@VaderJacobs123]

from which album is this?

[@johnmusketeer]

who cares, I like it...

[@Nayke87]

@maybeimjusthappy :) Kurt Cobain

[@faradaysage15]

Kurt Cobain's favorite song. Probably why he killed himself

[@Jojos25]

he wanted to be john lennon as a kid/adolescent, not as an adult, and finally his music and looks were very different from lennon's. that's a very stupid comparison, kurt had nothing in common with the wannabes that go all around youtube.

[@Sean021122]

@nataleem1998 This is actually one band I can listen to practically everything of theirs and not say "i can or have written something better". I'm obsessed with their lyrics, Only difference is I can write this way sober, they had to be f'ed up to write these words. My clairvoyance comes naturally :P

[@KurtCobainof21]

Thats not true at all, I know lots of instances of him as an adult where he openly aped john lennon. And Im not comparing him to youtube wannabes at all. There were plenty of silly Lennon wannabes, but Kurt was one of the genius ones. Youll find hundreds of stupid copycats, but only few are truly inspired. Im just saying theres nothing wrong with understanding him as an artist, his favourite bands etc. Its just somn to learn from

[@calamarpeligroso]
