Seasons Of Wither

Ok this is a quote from Aerosmith's autobiography Walk This Way "Seasons of Wither was about the winter landscape near this house I was living in with Joey near an old chicken farm. I used to lie in my bed at dawn, listening to the wind in the bare trees, how lonely and melancholy it sounded. I was pissed off about my taxes and getting mad helps me to write, so one night I went down to the basement where we had a rug on the floor and a couple of boxes for furniture and took a few Tunials and a few Seconals and I scooped up this guitar Joey gave me, this dumpster guitar, and I lit some incense and wrote Seasons of Wither."-Steven Tyler

In aerosmith's autobiography, steven tyler says that this song was about when he and joey kramer (the drummer) lived in a barn house type place outside of boston, that he was inspired by the snow in the winter and the bare trees and stuff like that. I'm not really sure if thats really what the song means but it is an amazing song. Steven tyler's best writting.

Well, I love this song...(one of my faves) and unfortunately it seemed to affect me the most when i was strung out on dope. If you have ever sat around dope-sick with no help on the way...and pondering the way things are in your life...it really hits me like a knife in the heart. But i think there is so so much guilt and pain involved in trying to just cop every day....not to mention keeping a rock band alive that artists like Steve have at least one release that most "regular" folks do not. They can write songs about their pain. And i think the part of the song may be guilt from all the ugly things involved in that kind of life. My personal meaning is that one time i turned a girl on for her first time....and years later..i was "clean"...but she was my cross to bare and never recovered and deid. It hurts to feel responsible for such a messed-up thing. And it hurts....a lot. But thats MY OWN meaning

Live on borrowed time (dying) Take the wind right out of your sail (the wind, the spirit of life, leaving the sails, leaving the body- death, wither...)

have you read the book "walk this way"

I read Walk This Way and I agree with aerosmithgirl617, it was about a really cold long desolate winter outside of the Boston area when they lived on that farm and it was snowing and the wind was blowing and the trees had no leaves. It just was Steven's perspective of the long hard winter day and how depressing it could be.

i'm still trying to figure this one out, but NEVER tire of it

I know what it means, I looked it up: It's about Steven Tyler's [lead singer] when he was in this drug depression, that's about it, I wish that there was more to it, but their isn't.

yep he was high and depressed and used a guitar found in the dumpster and wrote it.....still I think it is their best ballad ever and one of the best ever written

"being from the first album of Aerosmith's selling there souls, whether all the band or less, album 2 was asmith's covenant album, hence, as angel's "Get Your Wings", angels of what? don't be so naive...."

Get Your Wings= the band just got its wing logo

sorry but you are reaching with the religious scenerios. YEs at that age I'm sure they questioned god a lot, but they were also so high they should have died almost everyday of their life and they were screwing groupies after the shows, not exactly a group of guys trying to preach to the masses
