Mark Lanegan Memoir – Sing Backwards and Weep
Lanegan had promised a friend, Kitchen Confidential writer Anthony Bourdain, that he would write his memoirs. Bourdain had encouraged him to do a preface to his 2017 lyric collection, I Am the Wolf, loved his writing, and pressed him to do more. “Anthony said, ‘There needs be a level of honesty beyond what you’ll be comfortable with for it not to be some crappy rock autobiography.’ That was the last thing I wanted to do, ever.

Bed of Roses – Screaming Trees
Where do you stand when it’s all over
Washed from the earth
And down to the sea
Do you lie in a bed of roses
Are you still aware
I guess that you don’t care about it now
I see your shadow knocking at my door
All plastic face and shaking hands
Now how much space could ever hold your here
Are you still aware
I guess that you don’t care about it now
Where do you stand when it’s all over
Washed from the earth
And down to the sea
Do you lie in a bed of roses
Are you still aware
I guess that you don’t care about it now
Are you still aware
I guess that you don’t care about it now
