Song of the Day: The Gutter Twins – “All Misery/Flowers”
Released: 2008
Album: Saturnalia
His voice was like that of a man buried alive who had miraculously been unearthed, heart still beating. That deathly baritone, burdened with gloom, could reach down into your soul, shower you with ashes, and leave you trembling on your knees. Mark Lanegan was a one-of-a-kind artist. His band Screaming Trees were an essential piece of the grunge era. And just as the Screaming Trees came to an end, he found himself lending his voice to Queens of the Stone Age, just as they were becoming the biggest hard rock band in the world. In the 21st century, Lanegan ceaselessly collaborated, working with a wide range of musicians, including Isobel Campbell, Greg Dulli, Soulsavers, Tinariwen, Moby, and Unkle. He never failed to improve the project. Throughout the years, Lanegan also consistently released stunning solo records. In fact, his 2020 LP Straight Songs of Sorrow should be regarded as one of his best.
It’s impossible to reduce Mark Lanegan to a single song. His decades-long career has produced too many memorable moments. His performance on The Gutter Twins’ “All Misery/Flowers” remains a personal favorite. One. of the few times I got to see Lanegan perform live was with The Gutter Twins at Webster Hall in 2008, and it remains one of the most memorable performances I’ve ever seen.

Would you leave me alone
My sweet Simone
If I lay on my back
Down below on the track
Remember the night
How I’d wade in the water
Be counting the stars
And starting me over
They shine
Your eyes
Gonna make me rain
Gonna make you rise
When I’m gone
Baby, don’t you forget it
I did all I did
Just to get
Through to heavenGot no mother
She can’t find me
Got no father
He gonna blind me
Little girls might twitch
At the way I itch
But when I burnIt’s a son of a bitchHold on, hold on
Hold on, all misery goneHold on, hold on
Hold on, all misery goneMake me
Shake me
Bleed all over
Going down to the ground
In deep black water
Let’s ride suicide
Say what you want
But you make it don’t lie
Don’t let me down
Baby
On a bed of hard thistle
Gonna die when I drown
Just to have it away
Those lies in my eyes
Push you down in the river
Till you testify
My mother
She don’t know me
And my father
He can’t own me
Little girls might twitch
At the way I itch
But the way I burn
Is a son of a bitch
Make me, shake me
Deep black water
Gonna run through my pain
Gonna make it rainBaby I’m gone
So don’t you forget it
I did all I did
Just to get through to heavenHold on, hold on
Hold on, all misery gone
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, all misery goneIf you could hear me love
I’d tell to you my story
To you and only you
So love that you might save me
I woke up from a dream
I woke up I was crying
I saw an animal
With eyes like mine on fire
I saw my own true love
She was a sullen flowersWas she forget-me-nots
White lilies or red roses
And then from far away
Who’s that I see come riding
Upon a pale white horse
Come riding fast as lightningOh, if you can hear me love
I’d tell you my story
So that you might save me
So that you might save me
So that you might save me
So that you might save me
