Hanging Tree is written by Alain Johannes for The Desert Sessions in 2001. He’s also cited as personell on Songs for the Deaf. Such a legend. This song has his fingerprints all over it. The 5/4, the melody, the chords, the guitar.
I was thinking something akin this whole time! i thought, hey this reminds me of Euphora Mourning by Chris Cornell, come to think now, Alain Johannes played that whole record, so it makes total sens! thanks for the info (3 years later haha)
“Hangin' Tree” was originally written by Alain Johannes and Mark Lanegan for a Desert Sessions album (which it was released on), but Mark Lanegan’s vocals apparently made it so good it was included on the masterpiece Songs for the Deaf. -From Genius. The Mark Queens Era is unbelievably good. Was always hoping Mark could come back and do tunes with them. RIP Mark
1st time i heard this song was when i 1st heard QOTSA like 6 yrs ago when i bought "songs for the deaf". it made me go back and find everything they ever made and i love ALL OF IT, but i really think this is my favortie QOTSA song, period!
I'm in love with Lanegan's voice, and have taken a couple of cues from him when it comes to singin with my band. I have never enjoyed perfoming more than i do now.
I believe this may be my favourite performance of any song ever! I've listened to this well over 100times over the years & every single time I come back to it I get a huge shiver down my spine when that opening bass riff kicks in with the twang of the lead of it. It's a seriously beautiful thing. QOTSA for life!
This song is about the hanging tree in Ellensburg,WA where Mark Lanegan is from. There was a lynching there in the 20's where a mob stormed the Ellensburg jail and hung a farmer and his son that had committed manslaughter. I walk past that tree every day on the way to work.
a song about a hanging tree. No one, and I mean absolutely no one in the whole wide world could sing this song, except Mark Lanegan. Perfect gravely vocal
less is sometimes more...great simple riffs this song...but its always about the melody over the top of the music that makes it all come alive...just a great writer Josh...love his feel...thanks for letting go and showing us your depths...awesomeeee stuff Queens..
Tsarina Mccowat Alain Johannes wrote this song, but you’re right. I write better melodies over simpler progressions. A lot of my songs are kinda busy musically, much harder to write melodies for because I don’t like singing the same melody as the busy music has, so it’s a challenge to counter it. Love Queens. Too bad more bands of today don’t have their sensibility.
Lanegan is no longer with QOTSA 😢 R.I.P. You will be missed, Mark.
What voice we lost... Rest in peace Mark
RIP Mark Lanegan 2 22 22.
I love the different voices of Lanegan and Homme. Perfect harmony!
you are absolutely right. It is like the music and the voices softly touch your skin !*****
Ohlala!
***** Ahhh, dat was smooth! xD
Yeah.. they get each other. No egos.. just sound.

How is it that there music just sounds like the desert? How is that even possible, to capture that atmosphere so perfectly in music?
Blacklava I was just thinking the same thing, and then I saw your comment...
Blacklava their*
Just listen the doors
alain johannes 97 % hangin tree
I'll take your word for it, never been to the desert so.
RIP Mark Lanegan!

THAT BASS LINE!
RIP Mark Lanegan [*] 😢
Mark is a vocal god. I went to school with him and I can say you knew even back then. "This town is to small for me"
You went to school with him? What school did you go to?
DominikLederhas He's making it up.
Jeremiah Foxdie
I dunno about that.
J. foxdie why is it so hard to believe that Mark had school friends?...
@@JohnMalone388 becaus famous so not normal human
Mark Fucking Lanegan! what a voice man!
RIP Mark ❤
Fuck I love this QOTSA era Lanegans voice sounds like he’s gargled battery acid-so raspy and powerful love it !!
Josh and Mark's voices sound brilliant together!
There really is a perfect harmony between Josh and Mark's voices, incredible.
Am I the only one who thinks Mark looks like a mix of Will Ferrell and Josh Brolin?
Gustavo Almanza
Totally! I thought it was Will Farrell! I’m so in love with Homme 🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tom Waits' lil' brother...Jeez, Mark Lanegan sure is awesome.
RIP Mark 🕊😢
It was this exact song I was listing to when I found out mark had passed away.... This what heaven must feel like...RIP Mark
''Pop fact - Lanegan's voice is heavier than air. That's all kids!''
this was the perfect line up - they made a killer record
The best QOTSA line up... Plus, this was the Grohl era.
Lanegan's got one hell of a voice.
it's just fantastic how well josh's and mark's voices compliment each other, gotta be my fav version of any song, ever.
RIP, The growl of that Amazing voice will never be matched and greatly missed
Rest in Power, Mark Lanegan.
nicks bass playing is so solid
Mark’s vocal comes in here like a bag of gravel being dragged down an old road. ❤. RIP
Chills me to the bone how perfect this is 🖤
mark lanegan's voice is awesome!
Mark's voice is just spectacular, really unique and so good to listen to
I'M A HIP HOP AND R&B DJ IN LOS ANGELES, AND I LOVE QUEEN OF THE STONE AGE. ONE OF MY TOP TEN FAVS......
Stop shouting...LA sucks now unless you're new to the scene, then you'll never know.

The only place I want to be right now is standing between Mark and Josh, singing with them.
Lanegan...
No words for his voice...
the harmonization between Lanegan and Homme is unbelievable. beautiful rendition of the song.
lanegan's voice is brilliant
the best perfomance of this song, and its fucking acoustic!!!
they should do more of acoustic shows, allot more darker sound if you ask me..
Φ
Johannes is brilliant!
Mark's and Josh's voices harmonise very nicely in this song. The best live version in my opinion
He must've sold his soul to the devil for that voice
Seems so
he pretty much did
I hear theyre actually relatives
🤣 rough diamonds 💎
And now the devil reclaimed him
They´re the best Stone-Rock group ever
Love this RIP Mark
all in this video is great. Mark's voice, Josh that looks in the void while he sings, Nick and Troy
Meeting Mark Lanegan was the coolest thing ever! He's so damn awesome, his talking voice is the same way. Haha.

Mark Lanegan's pretty badass. My brother and his wife have seen him solo a bunch of times.
One of my all time faves! 👌🏼❤️

Gotta love Lanegan doing his best Tom Waits impression.

a song about a hanging tree. No one, and I mean absolutely no one in the whole wide world could sing this song, except Mark Lanegan. Perfect gravely vocal
this is one of the top "unplugged" performances of all time
They should have played this at the Grammys.
