Absolutely. Song writing, arrangement, able to play and his voice. My God his voice!?!? The emotive fucking power gifted to him. Such a small, small percentage of people that have been till now have been blessed with some of these gifts and then Chris!?? All the muses we're flowing from that veritable don't thru him and out to us. Never ever ever ever will there be another like him. Dulce somnii. RIP To my namesake
@@anailnathrakuthodbethod4834 agreed totally.. I could be wrong but I think he had 5 octaves. One of my musical heroes. Part of a music class that changed the course and history of music forever.. I was 18 in 1994 and it forever changed me as well.. .I hope he's in the place he felt he needed to go. 🙏
"Whatsoever I've feared has come to life And whatsoever I've fought off became my life. Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile. Sunspots have faded, now I'm doing time." 30 years now, this finally makes sense.
@@rivertrubia2710 So I got married too young I believe and now I'm separated so (whatsoever I've feared has come to life). Never wanted to have a broken family. I used to say I'm never doing drugs then fell on hard times as you see and drugs was what I picked up so became an addict (whatsoever I've fought off became my life). I'm clean now but yeah that's why this song hits right home now.
That is very well said. He was truly gifted and will always be remembered. I got to see Soundgarden perform live on the 28th of last month at the 2017 98 Rock Fest. They did an amazing job; one even better than I expected. What a tragedy. I hope he is able to be at peace now.
Angel of Death The minute I first heard of Chris's death, I knew playing Fell On Black Days was apropos. Chris was an amazing artist with a voice of an angel, however tortured the angel was. He deserves to belong in the Super Unknown, the Black Hole Sun a gateway into that place in the universe where all is love, and all are truly welcome. God bless Chris Cornell, whose sound garden is growing with silver bells, cockle shells and an acre and a half of the most killer shit of the nineties. Love always, Sound Gardeners!
+MrReaperofDead That applies to a lot of his lyrics, actually. "I'm looking California but feeling Minnesota" is one lyric of his that especially hits hard now.
He's talking about "life" itself....everyone always talks about depression...it could also be talking about realizing how reality really is. And everything always changes.
I can't think of another voice that was able to toe the line of pain and beauty. And with such consistency. It was unbelievable and I think the development of humankind that we were able to record it and have it forever to play back. How empty a world if our memories of his voice were to be able to fade
Junior year in highschool, I chose this song as a poetry project in a great English class I had. It was one of the few moments at that time when I wasn't self conscious about being a teenager. As an adult and musician for years now I know that it truly helped me deal with some of the things that I had grown up through. I made it, dark music can be theraputic. We don't have to fail.....we fight on
1996....when my GF broke up with me, I was crushed. This was my anthem song. I played it over and over. This one and Eltons John's "Someone Save My Life Tonight" and Hootie and the Blowfish - Goodbye. Listen to that last one and your heart will rip out. I was fucking CRUSHED!! A small part of me will never be the same. It is still hard to listen to these 3 songs, as the memories flood back. Happily married for many years, but the wound will always remain. "How would I know, that this could be my fate"...
Try dealing with an iv heroin addiction. I think about it 24 7, even in my sleep. I wake up in a cold sweat to a dream about shooting dope every night. Not fun.
@@losbanos999 You too. Glad you're happily married. We can get past any wall in front of us. Whether that means going under it, over it, around it, or through it. The key is not giving up and to keep trying.
We, thousands of Cubans, who have loved you for your music, voice, humbleness and courage since we heard you for the first time in the early 90's can not thank you enough for that Once in a Llifetime Experience Concert in Havana 2005. You were and will always be a lifesaver to me.
High dose vitamin D3 changed my life with fibromyalgia along with getting gluten, dairy and chicken eggs out of my diet (duck eggs are fine for me.) I had pain since I was a child and at 31 years old I finally gave up on docs that pushed anti-depressants and pain killers as their "solution" after I became suicidal on them for the second time and had horrible withdrawal symptoms which they denied I could have. I take 10,000 - 20,000 iu a day of D3 and my muscle and joint pain has been gone for three years now. Just my experience so take what you like and leave the rest. Good luck!
It is a comfort to receive this beautiful work for understanding and compassion as salve for my existence. It hurts like hell to know so, so many suffer terribly. I wish you very well.
I was never on heroin, but I was addicted to Vicodin and Oxycontin for 20 years. I just got clean this year. I had this song literally on autoplay for weeks after my 3 day opiate withdrawal ended and I could eat, listen to music and feel alright again. It has also helped me with my Manic-Depression I have suffered with since I was 24. Keep on with sobriety xD
I'm fighting a meth addiction, I just now came to accept that I had a problem, I stopped listening to rap music and switched it up to help me change and this song (and your post)connects with me.
I miss being a kid. Hearing this now it sounds like gold to me. Loved it then love it even more now. My mom died the same year. She also loved soundgarden and Chris. We jammed to soundgarden a lot. Man I miss being a kid😢
I never had a father, and I always loved being alone... I have a girlfriend now, and my life is going okay, but not at the same time. Depression sucks... I also miss being a kid... a lot.
I'd say down in a hole by Alice in Chains but vocalists Chris and Layne both had some bad demons in their lives and both poured out their entire broken souls into their songs. RIP to both
I'm 61 years old. My favorite song writer is Cole Porter, singer-Frank Sinatra, band- Glen Miller. I'm now in my car, having lost everything because of alcohol, bad decisions and breaks. This song touches me. I wouldn't mind a change........
Man, there are so many clues in his lyrics. I didn’t notice until he left us. Some artists think they don’t deserve their success and can’t come to grips with it. Chris, you deserved it and more.
Dude, this song has gotten me through some serious dark times in my life. These guys are the realest out there. Shoutout to Chris Cornell and his very unique vocal/lyrical style
"search light soul they say, but I can't see it in the night"//"hands are for shaking, no not tying" I miss you every day Chris; your voice, roaring in the dead silence of a fake world, gave me strength to go trough my darkest days. Somehow I feel that you're surrounded by light now, somehow I feel your hands are not tied anymore. You did teach me to love the peace in darkness and silence and grow from it, you did teach me that tied hands can make the freest of spirits; you showed me to scream my soul out and write things that go deeper than the eye can pierce, no words can explain what you've done for me.
Now late to the thread and in memory of our late friend and brilliant musician who will always shine a light through my dark days !! I was wondering why would you be SURPRISED !!~? with that said keep your spirit up and ENJOY M8!!
As a sister -plus eight.....plus three brothers...we lost our middle brother....herion...checked himself out...too many have already fallen by the sword. This is their epitaph!!!
When I listened to this, it reminds me of my very bad days that I had in the past and depression as well. Rest in peace Chris Cornell, thank you for releasing and singing this unique masterpiece.
"To what you wanted to see good had made you blind, and what you wanted to be yours, has made it mine... So don't you lock up something you wanted to see fly, hands are for shaking, no not tying... I sure don't mind a change..." Very powerful and thought provoking lyrics... Some of the best of all time...
Rip Chris Cornell. You were and will always remain one the greatest rock musician who ever walked this earth. And that voice!! No one even comes close to the magic you were able to do with your gift. Thank you Chris.
I’m 60. These guys brought me back to rock after checking out with the big hair bands.....hated them. Then I heard PJ soundgarden etc....and I was loving rock again
R.I.P. Chris :( I miss you. You were the last of the gods of Grunge from the 90's when I was a young man. Rest in peace. First Kurt Cobain died in 1994 by suicide, then Layne Staley of Alice in Chains died of a heroin o.d. in 2002, then we lost Scott Weiland to drugs also in 2015 and now you. All the gods of my my youth are gone. Every God of Grunge is now singing together in the Ultimate Grunge-Alt band of all time in Heaven. Give my regards and Love to my other heroes up there in heaven. :)
Now this is exactly the comment I needed to see in this comment section because it really does shine light on a subject that's not really comfortable to feel but somehow he made it into a beautiful feeling
I've spent a few yrs learning how to play, and sing like Chris Cornell. They say we should lisren to those that suffer depression. Its only now that he's gone i realize that Cris Cornell screamed of his pain so deeply that all we heard was its beauty.
Love this song, very deep and his songwriting is superb. Plus the band could match the vibe of his lyrics and voice flawlessly. wish we had more bands like them
Possibly the greatest conveyor of pure audio emotion ever to hold the mic. I've many a time broken down howling with grief while driving to Cornell playing and had to pull over where I was to avoid crashing. His passing feels personal and exceptionally tragic to me and continues to emotionally cripple me at times. It's similar to my grief for my closest friendship and family passing though I never met the legendary singer. Rest in Piece, and continue amaze on the other side.
Thank you from all of us Chris. You give us so much even after your passing. And we're all as close to you as we will ever be. Thank you Chris. Rock on where ever you are brother.
I still can't bring myself to listen to Chris without my eyes sweating. I am so glad I am at the age (48) to watch and listen to the whole grunge era unfold. I listen to it all since it first hit the seen, and still do...on a daily basis. My heart was truly broken and I was so, so devastated when I heard the horrible news of his passing. I still can't wrap my head around it. Another true artist with God given talent is gone...RIP Chris
Same here, Kathy. Felt like I've lost a dear friend who ministered and consoled me over the last 27 years. This loss will be felt for a very, very long time. RIP, our warrior poet.
I fell in love with soundgarden & Chris Cornell the 1st time I heard this song, it's my favorite of them all, and still 15 years later still my favorite song.
R.I.P Chris Cornell you will be forever remembered. We'll never forget one of the greatest voices of all time. No one can hit a high note like he can!!! love this song reminds me of myself from my teenage years
just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile, sunspots have faded, now i'm doing time. this, fellas, is the truth of depression. i feel so understood..
If I only knew your words when I was a child listening to them. I hope your family sees this message and your kids how much you have helped threw your music. Thank you.
I agree with you regarding Layne Staley. The only time I really listened to AIC was when my husband had it playing. He loved music, especially AIC. His taste in music was a bit more hard core than mine. He passed away 11 yrs ago. After he passed, I felt the need to go through and listen to all his music/CD's. When I did, I found a new appreciation for AIC and many others. I was blown away by AIC "Unplugged". One of the best live performances I've ever heard. Keep rockin', from Prtld,OR
A week or so has passed and how quickly we move on...Yet, I haven't ..This one caused me to pause...Allman died today,,,and though a tragedy, it was foreseeable...I worked the houses when MJ died...Driving through Celebrity neighborhoods and pointing out the this and that, while the firestorm swelled. Though MJ was traumatic, Chris's death hit me at home. MJ was a mythical figure...Chris was one of "us"....Lyrically gifted, voice like no other, he transcended the squalor of the grunge scene...I was a hair metal fan, when I came across Soundgarden but was transformed...He enlightened me...or at least, helped me see I could see beyond tomorrow...Sadly, for he and his family (aat least for "now") there are no tomorrow's left....I will miss his voice, his soul, his words...sorry, if I rambled.
No band could fill the entire gap left by Led Zeppelin's end, but this band fills a considerable portion of it! I never had the pleasure and privilege of experiencing a Zeppelin show, so I feel all the more pleased and privileged to have experienced Soundgarden's shows a few times, in the SF Bay Area.
I never did understand this till I lost my husband to suicide in October one of my favorites ,,, and now I'm living it one of the worst 5 months of my life now
Swear everytime I turn on the radio these days all I hear are GHOSTS, and getting DAMN tired of it. If I'm gonna hear a ghost, by God, I'm gonna listen to one of the BEST FUCKING GHOSTS to ever hold a microphone. RIP, Chris. You were one of a kind.
Lead Singers of rock and roll bands, so quick to reach out and touch our hearts and stir our souls, one can never fully understand the depths of your inner oceans and the undercurrents that drag you below, living fast drowning slow. Diving 2 deep in search of peace, beyond your reach . The rippling waves giving us a small glimpse of your sunlit glistening souls
I sure don't mind a change, Thank God I am sober and clean, going on 3 yrs. To my people still out living in the struggle, I love you all and you can beat it.
There's a certain relief in letting my own anguish resonate with his, a comfort in knowing that others have felt this darkness and turned it into beautiful music.
Whomsoever I’ve cured I’ve sickened now, and whomsoever I’ve cradled I’ve put you down. A search light soul they say....but I can’t see it in the night! I’m only faking when I get it right. Man this dude was something else, such a raw talent
Depression is the plague of modern times. only those who are well acquainted with its pull can create music like this. This I know, it is the music, the art that becomes the rope out of the well for the rest of us.
Loved your music-making Chris Cornell! Rest in Peace my friend, long may your work represent your contribution to us all. Peace on your journey dear friend.
My college years' soundtrack... Talk about throwback rock days! :) Love Cornell's bands (Audioslave & Soundgarden), ever since my friend introduced me to them.
"To what you wanted to see good has made you blind, and what you wanted to be yours has made it mine." He was on another level of song writing.
Absolutely. Song writing, arrangement, able to play and his voice. My God his voice!?!?
The emotive fucking power gifted to him.
Such a small, small percentage of people that have been till now have been blessed with some of these gifts and then Chris!??
All the muses we're flowing from that veritable don't thru him and out to us.
Never ever ever ever will there be another like him.
Dulce somnii. RIP
To my namesake
"I'm only faking when I get it right"

And whatsoever I've fought off became my life. Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile. Sunspots have faded, now I'm doing time."
30 years now, this finally makes sense.
I'm here today man right there where you was 8 months ago
Manic depression
Same here brother
@@rivertrubia2710 So I got married too young I believe and now I'm separated so (whatsoever I've feared has come to life). Never wanted to have a broken family.

Me too brother every time they tell be the sun is not gonna last till 5
We have truly fallen on black days today. We have lost a very talented singer. Rest in peace Chris Cornell, you will be missed.
I was just about to say the same 😪
That is very well said. He was truly gifted and will always be remembered. I got to see Soundgarden perform live on the 28th of last month at the 2017 98 Rock Fest. They did an amazing job; one even better than I expected. What a tragedy. I hope he is able to be at peace now.
Angel of Death The minute I first heard of Chris's death, I knew playing Fell On Black Days was apropos. Chris was an amazing artist with a voice of an angel, however tortured the angel was.

God bless Chris Cornell, whose sound garden is growing with silver bells, cockle shells and an acre and a half of the most killer shit of the nineties. Love always, Sound Gardeners!
Angel of Death you know, i never truly understood how much this song's lyrics were significate. until after his suicide...
+MrReaperofDead That applies to a lot of his lyrics, actually. "I'm looking California but feeling Minnesota" is one lyric of his that especially hits hard now.
Chris’s lyrics always cut me to the core... he is able to express the perspective of suicidal depression so well... so sad
Yes he feeeled the pain
He's talking about "life" itself....everyone always talks about depression...it could also be talking about realizing how reality really is. And everything always changes.
No doubt a dark tortured soul.! Most of us can’t even put it into words
I can't think of another voice that was able to toe the line of pain and beauty. And with such consistency. It was unbelievable and I think the development of humankind that we were able to record it and have it forever to play back. How empty a world if our memories of his voice were to be able to fade
Great art isn't always meant to inspire. When I think of Cornell's fate, this song gives me chills. RIP forever.
Die doing what you love or live with the thing constantly killing you
The inspiration is, 'don't lock up something that you wanted to see fly' ❤
easily one of the best songs ever written
hell yea!
Especially for those of us who often fall on black days
Prepare for a sudden in pour of likes on your comment.
Said he's gone best song ever
Awesome! His voice is magic! rip Chris
This dudes voice is so smooth for grunge, but yet it sounds grungy still somehow. What a great unique voice.
Junior year in highschool, I chose this song as a poetry project in a great English class I had. It was one of the few moments at that time when I wasn't self conscious about being a teenager. As an adult and musician for years now I know that it truly helped me deal with some of the things that I had grown up through. I made it, dark music can be theraputic. We don't have to fail.....we fight on
It lets you know that you’re not alone in the feeling that when you’re going through it is all you feel 🔺❤️🔻
Yes I agree I'm 57 now I remember Chris Cornell in the 90s he's a awesome singer and songs
Definitely one of Of The greatest voices in Rock RIP Chris Cornell
Yes. His voice is so beautiful. So cutting, so..expressive. I can't find the words for how versatile and moving it is.
“Hands are for shaking, not tying” gotta be one of the most raw lyrics ever written
1996....when my GF broke up with me, I was crushed. This was my anthem song. I played it over and over. This one and Eltons John's "Someone Save My Life Tonight" and Hootie and the Blowfish - Goodbye. Listen to that last one and your heart will rip out. I was fucking CRUSHED!! A small part of me will never be the same. It is still hard to listen to these 3 songs, as the memories flood back. Happily married for many years, but the wound will always remain. "How would I know, that this could be my fate"...
At least she didn't cheat on ya dude.... just simply breaking up?? That doesn't seem too awful

Yes, that voice
Mine is Say Hello to Heaven, closely followed by this. RIP Chris, legendary voice, fragile soul 💛
@No One Your welcome
"I'm only faking when I get it right" is to me the most poignant lyric in the song.
Relatable as fuck
Now im doing time
Hands are for shaking... No not tying....
How would I know
Song lyrics in video are wrong: "I'm only faking when I get it right... *WHEN I'M GIVEN RISE*", which is the true message of the song.
Diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1993, lost my job, my future, my mind. This has been my song from day one. Life goes on somehow, barely.
Bismofunions
Keep your head up, it will get better. Good luck
Watched your fears become your god.....
High dose vitamin D3 changed my life with fibromyalgia along with getting gluten, dairy and chicken eggs out of my diet (duck eggs are fine for me.)

Helped me recover threw my heroin addiction. Thanks Chris Cornell! Your music has saved my life multiple times.
Rosa Ortiz how did you make it? I'm so tired of this I don't know how much longer I can fight
I was never on heroin, but I was addicted to Vicodin and Oxycontin for 20 years. I just got clean this year. I had this song literally on autoplay for weeks after my 3 day opiate withdrawal ended and I could eat, listen to music and feel alright again.

Thank you Rosa, I play this songdaily. It has been therapy for me for the last 2 months now.
Rosa Ortiz I think it takes an addict to truly get this song.
I'm fighting a meth addiction, I just now came to accept that I had a problem, I stopped listening to rap music and switched it up to help me change and this song (and your post)connects with me.
Chris and Layne will ALWAYS been missed... pure talent, pure souls
I miss being a kid. Hearing this now it sounds like gold to me. Loved it then love it even more now. My mom died the same year. She also loved soundgarden and Chris. We jammed to soundgarden a lot. Man I miss being a kid😢
I never had a father, and I always loved being alone... I have a girlfriend now, and my life is going okay, but not at the same time. Depression sucks... I also miss being a kid... a lot.
If depression had a signature song this would be it.
True that blendedbananas
I'd say down in a hole by Alice in Chains but vocalists Chris and Layne both had some bad demons in their lives and both poured out their entire broken souls into their songs. RIP to both
a lot of his songs if you pay attention really showed how much trouble he was in. It's really sad.
This song and Nutshell from Alice In Chains hit me hard.
Staind as well ; hits the never chords
I'm 61 years old. My favorite song writer is Cole Porter, singer-Frank Sinatra, band- Glen Miller. I'm now in my car, having lost everything because of alcohol, bad decisions and breaks. This song touches me. I wouldn't mind a change........
I too suffer from addiction. This explains how I feel. One day at a time, right?
Man, there are so many clues in his lyrics. I didn’t notice until he left us. Some artists think they don’t deserve their success and can’t come to grips with it. Chris, you deserved it and more.
Dude, this song has gotten me through some serious dark times in my life. These guys are the realest out there. Shoutout to Chris Cornell and his very unique vocal/lyrical style
+Chris Brown Too bad Soundgarden is no more.
Jeffrey Hinkle What do you mean excuse me? The band is done. Chris has been on his own for quite some time now. Unless you know something I don't.
Jeffrey Hinkle
ok
saw them live awesome for me and my dark times aswell
"search light soul they say, but I can't see it in the night"//"hands are for shaking, no not tying"
I miss you every day Chris; your voice, roaring in the dead silence of a fake world, gave me strength to go trough my darkest days. Somehow I feel that you're surrounded by light now, somehow I feel your hands are not tied anymore. You did teach me to love the peace in darkness and silence and grow from it, you did teach me that tied hands can make the freest of spirits; you showed me to scream my soul out and write things that go deeper than the eye can pierce, no words can explain what you've done for me.
pain becomes art (edit) again
It is disturbingly true that the greater the pain, the greater the beauty. Man oh man, how I need to be real ugly now.
If only music can be this good again.

zdrumdude cool 😎❤️
Big hair bands were nice too
when you get old hair dos'nt matter just lyrics do
I'm 33 and I feel the same. Classic rock like sabbath, skip The 80s, Then pick up with the 90s
The song that made "whomsoever" a word.

Truth
Hearing the news of his passing today has landed me on a personal black day myself this man will forever be missed rest in paradise Chris Cornell
some of the best lyrics of all time. so deep and just frightfully beautiful. top 5 all time songs for sure.
R.I.P. Chris :( I miss you. You were the last of the gods of Grunge from the 90's when I was a young man. Rest in peace. First Kurt Cobain died in 1994 by suicide, then Layne Staley of Alice in Chains died of a heroin o.d. in 2002, then we lost Scott Weiland to drugs also in 2015 and now you.

I've many a time broken down howling with grief while driving to Cornell playing and had to pull over where I was to avoid crashing. His passing feels personal and exceptionally tragic to me and continues to emotionally cripple me at times. It's similar to my grief for my closest friendship and family passing though I never met the legendary singer. Rest in Piece, and continue amaze on the other side.
Your not alone. We miss him every day.
Hugs to you!!!!
😢Took me a while to hear his voice without crying. R.I.P.
I hear ya there my friend!!! It's still hard for me to hear him too!!!
Thank you from all of us Chris. You give us so much even after your passing. And we're all as close to you as we will ever be. Thank you Chris. Rock on where ever you are brother.
this song always helps me calm down
Me also! He was a great singer! Awesome guitar! RIP Chris
I still can't bring myself to listen to Chris without my eyes sweating. I am so glad I am at the age (48) to watch and listen to the whole grunge era unfold. I listen to it all since it first hit the seen, and still do...on a daily basis. My heart was truly broken and I was so, so devastated when I heard the horrible news of his passing. I still can't wrap my head around it. Another true artist with God given talent is gone...RIP Chris
Same here, Kathy.
Felt like I've lost a dear friend who ministered and consoled me over the last 27 years.
This loss will be felt for a very, very long time.
RIP, our warrior poet.
such a classic !! still loving it 2016
Hell yea! Rock On!
Andrea Newsome The past has such beautiful gems... this is one of them.
Chris Cornell is forever the best

I fell in love with soundgarden & Chris Cornell the 1st time I heard this song, it's my favorite of them all, and still 15 years later still my favorite song.
I recently have fell on black days..:…. 😢 thanks for this masterpiece ! RIP
R.I.P Chris Cornell you will be forever remembered. We'll never forget one of the greatest voices of all time. No one can hit a high note like he can!!! love this song reminds me of myself from my teenage years
You will be missed Chris Cornell. You were a wonderfully talented singer and artist. Rest in peace.
just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile, sunspots have faded, now i'm doing time.
this, fellas, is the truth of depression. i feel so understood..
If I only knew your words when I was a child listening to them. I hope your family sees this message and your kids how much you have helped threw your music. Thank you.
What a true artist ... His passion in his lyrics and vocals prove the poetic visions he had ... OMG , will be truly missed ...
R.I.P. Chris.May your voice soar on forever. Thank you.

donald byrom wrong choice of words
His Last Words To Me Were I Love You Sal
God His voice has so much soul to It!
Makes your hair stand up on your head when he hits high notes.
People get old but great music is eternal🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I listen to this song and I’m happy that I’ve made it past my black days. Keep hope, always!
I agree with you regarding Layne Staley. The only time I really listened to AIC was when my husband had it playing. He loved music, especially AIC. His taste in music was a bit more hard core than mine. He passed away 11 yrs ago. After he passed, I felt the need to go through and listen to all his music/CD's. When I did, I found a new appreciation for AIC and many others. I was blown away by AIC "Unplugged". One of the best live performances I've ever heard. Keep rockin', from Prtld,OR
A week or so has passed and how quickly we move on...Yet, I haven't ..This one caused me to pause...Allman died today,,,and though a tragedy, it was foreseeable...I worked the houses when MJ died...Driving through Celebrity neighborhoods and pointing out the this and that, while the firestorm swelled. Though MJ was traumatic, Chris's death hit me at home. MJ was a mythical figure...Chris was one of "us"....Lyrically gifted, voice like no other, he transcended the squalor of the grunge scene...I was a hair metal fan, when I came across Soundgarden but was transformed...He enlightened me...or at least, helped me see I could see beyond tomorrow...Sadly, for he and his family (aat least for "now") there are no tomorrow's left....I will miss his voice, his soul, his words...sorry, if I rambled.
Dan Freeburg ..you did great bud..i was depressed for a few days
This song pretty much sumarizes my life, and how I feel inside my soul. Thanks Chris for putting it into words. I never have the chance to even try.
Love this song so much. I fell on black days myself. Don't cage what you want to see fly. So much emotion here.
I’m finding that Chris’s lyrics are resonating with me more and more as I get older , not gonna lie that kinda worries me .
Rest in peace Chris. You will be missed by so many people.
No band could fill the entire gap left by Led Zeppelin's end, but this band fills a considerable portion of it! I never had the pleasure and privilege of experiencing a Zeppelin show, so I feel all the more pleased and privileged to have experienced Soundgarden's shows a few times, in the SF Bay Area.
I can't listen to this without bursting into tears. I didn't think I was depressed but maybe I am
I'm a singer/songwriter and would listen to this man in awe wishing I had a voice like that. Still do. Truly one of my idols. Love you brother.
R.I.P Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington ❤️
I lived up in the northwest in the 90's. This group was fire. Everyone was wearing plaid shorts with thermals underneath. Good memories.
I never did understand this till I lost my husband to suicide in October one of my favorites ,,, and now I'm living it one of the worst 5 months of my life now
🙏🙏Stay strong dear lady...Please stay strong..sending prayers and positive thoughts your way ma'am 🙏
I'm sorry.. don't know you but got your back
One of the best songs ever ..Im sure you will have a star that Shines so bright ...Rip Chris
Swear everytime I turn on the radio these days all I hear are GHOSTS, and getting DAMN tired of it. If I'm gonna hear a ghost, by God, I'm gonna listen to one of the BEST FUCKING GHOSTS to ever hold a microphone. RIP, Chris. You were one of a kind.
Lead Singers of rock and roll bands, so quick to reach out and touch our hearts and stir our souls, one can never fully understand the depths of your inner oceans and the undercurrents that drag you below, living fast drowning slow. Diving 2 deep in search of peace, beyond your reach . The rippling waves giving us a small glimpse of your sunlit glistening souls
r.i.p 1 of the greatest rock voice ever
I sure don't mind a change, Thank God I am sober and clean, going on 3 yrs. To my people still out living in the struggle, I love you all and you can beat it.
Today is a black day
Sancho Panza yes it is
Welcome to the club every day is black
One of the greatest singer, song writers ever. Chris will never die, when you make music this awesome, it lives forever, making you immortal.
music is eternal, life is not, appreciate what you have for what little time you have it
There's a certain relief in letting my own anguish resonate with his, a comfort in knowing that others have felt this darkness and turned it into beautiful music.
hands down, best voice, in 90's music, by far
yeah okay
Whomsoever I’ve cured I’ve sickened now, and whomsoever I’ve cradled I’ve put you down. A search light soul they say....but I can’t see it in the night! I’m only faking when I get it right. Man this dude was something else, such a raw talent
SIMPLY AWESOME THANKS, R.I.P. MR CORNELL , HIS GREAT VOICE IS IN HEAVEN
Depression is the plague of modern times. only those who are well acquainted with its pull can create music like this. This I know, it is the music, the art that becomes the rope out of the well for the rest of us.
Can words and music be so true to one's heart and mind? These are with no doubt.
Loved your music-making Chris Cornell! Rest in Peace my friend, long may your work represent your contribution to us all. Peace on your journey dear friend.
this song is so legendary
Chris Cornell making amazing music as always. Whether it be Soundgarden or Audioslave!
My college years' soundtrack... Talk about throwback rock days! :) Love Cornell's bands (Audioslave & Soundgarden), ever since my friend introduced me to them.
Alevtina Sherman Then you should check out Temple of the Dog as well!
Such an amazing talent!!! It's a shame we lost him so soon... This is my favorite song hands down!!!
Supernatural ❤️
Rip. A True voice of a generation.
Thanks, for this bad ass tune. R.I.P. Chris...
I play this most every day
I thank my dad for showing me this and making me listen to this when I was 4 to when I was 11
