“Taree” is a song by American rock band Soundgarden. The seventh track on the band’s sixth studio album, King Animal (2012), it is an ode to the wilderness of the American Northwest – such as the Taree neighborhood of Kingston, WA, where Ben Shepherd took the title from. Shepherd had the idea for the song way back in 1996, and even did demos before King Animal, but the console where those were recorded were stolen along with his bass and guitars.

‘‘It sort of fit, the title just fit with the music, it just fit too well. I didn’t relieve and try to write something besides that. And then, I just, kind of, made it my sort-of love opus to growing up in the Northwest, geographically. Just my experiences as a kid, you know, it’s like you’re – it’s like you could grow up like you’re a gnome in the woods, kind of running around in the trees and climbing trees and swimming in the middle of winter. And that side of it made it a really amazing place, kind of a magical place to grow up in. And the music seemed to sort of support that feeling a lot.’’
