REMASTERED IN HD! Music video by Soundgarden performing Spoonman. (C) 1994 A&M Records #Soundgarden #Spoonman #Remastered #Vevo #Rock #OfficialMusicVideo
"feel the Rhythm with your hands, feel the rhythm while you can" Lol he seriously wrote a song about a guitarist and made it sound as if he was talking about heroin lol
This song is about a street artist named Artis the Spoonman, who played the spoons on the streets of Seattle, where Soundgarden formed. Artis played his spoons on the song, and is credited on the album (Spoons: Artis The Spoonman). He is also featured in the video. When Songfacts spoke with Artis in 2013, he said he earned a flat fee of $1,000 for performing on the song, and another $7,000 to appear in the video. Describing how Soundgarden contacted him, he said: "In 1992, they had me do a tweener [a performance between acts] between them and Melvins. And their manager at the time, Susan Silver, she told me Chris [Cornell] is writing a song, 'Spoonman,' and would I like to record on it when it's done. And so in '93, almost a year and a half later, they called me and we went in the studio that day and recorded it. Went through four takes and that was that. Two hours. That was the recording session."
That $8000 was probably the most he ever earned for his talent. If he was smart, he would have opted for a percentage of the album sales instead. Even if it was only 1% it would have been a hell of a lot more than $8000.
Can't believe nobody's talking about how amazing that 7/4 riff is. Most riffs that aren't 4/4 end up sounding convoluted and awkward, trying way too hard to be something unique; this does it so smoothly, I didn't even recognize it was an odd time signature on my first listen. Kim Thayil is a mastermind.
Because most of us don't give a shit about the technical side of music. It's just good, you qualifying it being good by tonal theory doesn't make it better.
exactly how I feel....I had him plugged into my ears where ever I went all through late 90s and early decade 2000!! I even got my youngest hooked on him :)
I'm bingeing Soundgarden and alcohol tonight. Im happy to be here listening to this. Sad he's gone. And eh about my relapse. In the grand scheme of time, none of us are far behind.
Can't imagine the battle that's been going on inside him all these years despite all the success and love he has been receiving. It's been 5 years and still hard to believe that he's no longer with us; but if there's any consolation out of this is that he finally have the much needed rest he deserved. Fly free forever Chris, and thank you for the incredible legacy you have left us.
Cornell was severely depressed ,in this song he repeats many times over ''save me'' .Sometimes the cry for help is right there in the lyrics if you listen hard enough to catch it . RIP Chris .
Spoonman wore a shirt in the video that says " Save Your Self " you are right about depression but in this song it's a catch that you have to watch the video closer to catch it, now Fell On Black Days is about depression and in the end of that song he says " how would I know that this would be my fate " and around 25 years later, suicide. Bone chilling! The day I tried to live has a man rapping a chord around his neck while he's standing upside down, another cry, you're missed Chris 😢
dont be deceived so easily lol. yes he understood depression, all humans will by some point in their life, and yes he was really big about helping people with those issues. but "if you listen hard enough to catch it" the majority of his songs for one could of course mean many different things to different people , but they also have entirely different meanings way below the surface than what they appear to be at first glance
@@adammorgan2427 "go on and save yourself, and take it out on me" from Cochise could mean alotta things to alot of people, although its actually a reference to the crucifixion. virtually all of his songs have many meanings
Chris wasn't crying out for help,his IQ was and is far beyond this world,he had had enough of the debauchery of this world and wanted to go to a place where he would ne understood
+Danthehorse Seriously, the music coming out now is depressing. You had this, alice in chains, STP, Chili peppers, Nirvana, etc. Such a great time for music.
God will never stop loving any of us, friend. Believe that. Were walking in a kaleidoscope of colours, and the darkness is nothing with the light around.
WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRIS CORNELL???? HOW DID HE PASS MAN??!!! NO WONDER I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR A NEW SONG FROM HIM...NOW I'M ALL BUMMED OUT!! I REALLY THOUGHT HE WAS LOVELY!! FUCK!! I'M GONNA TRUELY MISS HIM!!!😭😭👀💙 SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME HOW CHRIS PASS?? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM??!!🎤🎼🎹
The fact that Chris has the vocal range he has and can sustain the high notes as long as he can, differentiates him from the schlocks that auditions on the Voice. This is, the voice of rock!
Fuckin sucks... Who's even left from that 90s grunge era ? Eddie Vedder, Billy Corgan? Maybe Perry Farrell or Anthony Keidis Can't think of many others
+ColtFPSGAMING Them Bones from AiC as well! My start with music was my Dad showing me "Show me how to live" From Audioslave and saying, "Thats the singer from that song in the game you play."
haha! I played that game (actually have two copies of it), but I fell in love with this song on a Nintendo DS band game. I can't remember what it was called. :( I didn't even realize it was in Off-Road Fury!
lots of great art comes from dark places and pain. i don't think it's something that can be identified as something like this person will die early or kill themselves. i feel like if it helps you think or get through the day that's all that matters.
Truly. He also fronted with the members of “Pearl Jam” to create the album “Temple of the Dog” he’s also got several solo albums that have a wide range of music, as well as featuring on a ton of random tracks. Man was truly a rock God
how about that audioslave is rage against the machine without zach as the lead singer? Just add you a Chris Cornell + RAGE - Zach DelaRoche = Audioslave
My mom used to play this in the car when I was like 5 and I used to think this song was about a superhero that was a spoon. I very recently learned the real meaning. Still rocks though.
My best memory with this song is when it played in radio in our car and my mum paniced during spoons solo because she thought that somethimg in the car was broken.
My mom used to play this in the car when I was really small, she remembers me in the back trying to sing along, and since I didn't know my dad she used to joke and say Chris was my dad, I took her seriously and legitimately thought he was my dad up until I was 7. Still trying not to believe that he is gone, he was an incredible artist, his music has gotten me through some tough times and I wish he was still here so I could thank him.

I remember buying this CD at Blockbuster Music, cracking it open in my truck, and skipping to track 8 (Spoonman), and sitting in the parking lot being mesmerized. Had never heard anything like it in my life! Amazing track and band
One of my favorite songs of all time. I used to think that Soundgarden remade this song - that someone else recorded it earlier. That's how iconic this song is.

hahaha..by no means have I masted the spoon man solo..it's like air guitar..no idea what im doing but it just feels right, like im there rockin or should i say Spoonin' with them!
+DailyFrankPeter This song is notable for having that main riff in a 7/4 time-signature. www.musicroom.com/se/id_no/0572359/details.html _Outshined_, from their _Badmotorfinger_ album, also uses a 7/4 time-signature throughout its verses. www.musicroom.com/se/id_no/0660042/details.html
You're right! Thanks for chipping in. But I wasn't that far off! 7+7 = 14, that's the same length of phrase as 4+4+4+2. Considering there are different accents in the 1st and 2nd bar, if anyone could tell me how to HEAR the difference between constant 7/4 and 4/4 with a change to 2/4 on last bar (without looking at the sheet) I'd learn something new today.
DailyFrankPeter I was always told that the first beat of a bar is usually the strongest; that being the case, the beginning of that main melodic riff in _Spoonman_ somehow “feels” stronger than all of the others (in fact, as you probably saw from the sheet, an entire bar contained all seven of the beats within that riff before it repeated in the next bar). Trying to shoehorn that riff into three 4/4 bars then a 2/4 doesn’t work using this principle because the beginning of the first repeat of the riff would then happen in the fourth and final beat of the second 4/4 bar, which does not really sit that well compared to when using 7/4. I have to admit that spotting the 7/4 in the verses of _Outshined_ is probably easier to ascertain than in _Spoonman_ as there are not so many syncopated rhythms within the verse riffs of _Outshined_. 7/4 is one of what is known as irregular time-signatures, in which some of the pulses within the bar have three inner beats and others have two (in this case, one pulse having three inner beats and the other two having two inner beats). For a bit more from a renowned music teacher who does online instructional videos you might like to check out a RUclips channel named MusicTheoryGuy and his “Irregular Time Signatures” video for a bit more about such time-signatures if this whole discussion has piqued your interest to that level. While we are on about the album from which _Spoonman_ came (in this case, _Superunknown_), one of the other tracks (_My Wave_) clearly has five beats per bar during its verses. Yes, another irregular time-signature (5/4, in this case)!
One of the most kickass songs top to bottom in all of music, let alone rock. The drums and bass, the guitar riffs and overdubs, and Chris’ vocal talent, all-around KICK ASS.
Thanks Chris for all the hours I spent listening to your songs from Soundgarden, Audioslave, and your own songs, I really appreciate you putting emotion, and more meaning into this life, thank you for everything, rest in peace!
One of the greatest songs ever, especially out of the 90s... and it's about a man playing with two eating utincils... "Inventions" of about 3k years ago. What a gift. Thank you for sharing with us all... ⚜️
Impresionante canción. La mejor banda Soundgarden sin dudas. El hombre que maneja las cucharas es un gran artista, él también merece buenos comentarios por su arte.
Lyrics : Feel the rhythm with your hands Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman Speak the rhythm on your own Speak the rhythm all alone, Spoonman Spoonman, come together with your hands Save me, I'm together with your plan Save me All my friends are Indians All my friends are brown and red, Spoonman All my friends are skeletons They beat the rhythm with their bones, Spoonman Feel the rhythm with you hands Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman Thank you, good night people
One of the greatest voices of my generation is gone today. Chris, I will never forget your music and how much joy you gave to me and many others. Say hello to Heaven.
I was a kid when this song played on the radio, and I never understood what it was about. but it played a lot on the radio, and when I hear it now, it reminds me of when I was a kid, and I was happier and carefree. it's a great song. it sounds cool every time I hear it
You ever notice that in many of his songs he says " SAVE ME " it's a pretty ominous feeling! Missing him! Especially what would his music sound like today? Love from 🇨🇦✨💫☄️🌠
That riff has a Iommi sized groove in it 🕺🏼🖤🥶☠️💥🤘🏻I remeber when this single was released,Soundgarden in 94 was the biggest baddest band on the planet,eventually Tool would come to hold that title but these guys had it from 91-94,they were peerless
It has been 3 years today since we lost you and still it is a shock you are not here with that voice and music. RIP Chris ~ (20th July 1964~May 18th 2017) 🖤
My heart is broken. I never knew u personally, yet you've been such a huge factor in my life for the past 24 years. I've fell on black days...may you rest peacefully, my beautiful Chris...💜 Say hello to heaven..
I have been high and low but through it all I could always rely on Chris Cornells voice to save my life from very dark times .his death crushed me so bad rip Mr Cornell.

Yes it was a busker who would tape spoons to his fingers and play the guitar lol spoonman inspired Chris Cornell as a kid so he made a song about him.
"feel the Rhythm with your hands, feel the rhythm while you can"
Lol he seriously wrote a song about a guitarist and made it sound as if he was talking about heroin lol
@@powertothepeople3820
Spoonman is deeper than that.
@@kennyboy4401 yeah it is a deep song tbh

After four takes then a legendary song was born, i watch this video as soon as i learn about the spoonman the musician in youtube
I recall watching MTV at the time, and young as I was, wondering if he was a hero of some kind, but the background intro to the clip cleared that up
wow how the hell did I never know that🤯
Tks
That $8000 was probably the most he ever earned for his talent. If he was smart, he would have opted for a percentage of the album sales instead. Even if it was only 1% it would have been a hell of a lot more than $8000.
Chris Cornell. Man, what a voice. Soundgarden was badass.
This beautiful man had a four octave vocal range. That's about the same as your standard opera singer. Amazing. He is truly missed.
Beautiful comment...
He had nothin without the band
We ate all beautiful
@@eugeneatkinson4889 he had an amazing solo career
Google must love you.
Considering you took the very first search, feel good now?
Matt Cameron is a very underrated drummer. Got a great sense of groove and musicality.
+Omair Sheikh Don't worry, he isn't that underrated. He's featured in quite a few drumming publications' list of top 50 drummers.
+Omair Sheikh He's #20 in Rolling Stone's best drummers.
He is really cool, one of my favorite drummers!
+Omair Sheikh I Agree for Soundgarden material, I'm kinda bummed with his contribute to Pearl Jam.
+Omair Sheikh He is widely praised and recognised.

Not everyone knows music theory
I read your comment to my Man and he started singing the riff ❤️🎶🎼🎵🎤🎸🥁
Because most of us don't give a shit about the technical side of music. It's just good, you qualifying it being good by tonal theory doesn't make it better.
@@CodeguruX Literally all I did was praise Kim Thayil for being a good songwriter. HOW did you manage to take offense to that. I am honestly amazed
Nirvana was phenomenal, Stp was sexy, Pearl Jam was poetic but Soundgarden is raw unadulterated talent..
@Cerberus202 AIC was all of those things he mentioned
@@pedrobailey735 preach it brother
Well said except I agree where's the AIC love. They were a bit heavier but still definitely deserving of mentioning. Miss this music

Temple of the Dog could be viewed as the grunge generation version of The Traveling Wilburys! 🍻🇺🇸💥🤘🏼🧨🇺🇸🍻
I just watched 5 Soundgarden videos in a row. Still can't believe Chris is gone. RIP to a legend. Your voice will live on forever.
Same, I feel like I've taken him for granted all of these years :(
The good talent always seems to pass way too soon.
exactly how I feel....I had him plugged into my ears where ever I went all through late 90s and early decade 2000!! I even got my youngest hooked on him :)

none of us are far behind.

strange why it reminds me of Rape me by Nirvana

I'm glad people can relate!! I ain't kidding every time this song comes on pandora i whip out those damn spoons and hit it!
Frank Fanelli swear to god.. Tried miserably to play the spoons recently.. Inspired by this song. I laughed so loud when I read your comment.
hahaha..by no means have I masted the spoon man solo..it's like air guitar..no idea what im doing but it just feels right, like im there rockin or should i say Spoonin' with them!
I brought out the cowbell and a few drumsticks for a friend's band and played that solo for a karaoke crowd a few times--It was so much fun!
Love the time signature changes. {3x 4/4, 1x 2/4} and repeat... Sounds so energetic.
+DailyFrankPeter This song is notable for having that main riff in a 7/4 time-signature.

_Outshined_, from their _Badmotorfinger_ album, also uses a 7/4 time-signature throughout its verses.

You're right! Thanks for chipping in. But I wasn't that far off! 7+7 = 14, that's the same length of phrase as 4+4+4+2.
Considering there are different accents in the 1st and 2nd bar, if anyone could tell me how to HEAR the difference between constant 7/4 and 4/4 with a change to 2/4 on last bar (without looking at the sheet) I'd learn something new today.
DailyFrankPeter I was always told that the first beat of a bar is usually the strongest; that being the case, the beginning of that main melodic riff in _Spoonman_ somehow “feels” stronger than all of the others (in fact, as you probably saw from the sheet, an entire bar contained all seven of the beats within that riff before it repeated in the next bar). Trying to shoehorn that riff into three 4/4 bars then a 2/4 doesn’t work using this principle because the beginning of the first repeat of the riff would then happen in the fourth and final beat of the second 4/4 bar, which does not really sit that well compared to when using 7/4.
I have to admit that spotting the 7/4 in the verses of _Outshined_ is probably easier to ascertain than in _Spoonman_ as there are not so many syncopated rhythms within the verse riffs of _Outshined_.
7/4 is one of what is known as irregular time-signatures, in which some of the pulses within the bar have three inner beats and others have two (in this case, one pulse having three inner beats and the other two having two inner beats). For a bit more from a renowned music teacher who does online instructional videos you might like to check out a RUclips channel named MusicTheoryGuy and his “Irregular Time Signatures” video for a bit more about such time-signatures if this whole discussion has piqued your interest to that level.
While we are on about the album from which _Spoonman_ came (in this case, _Superunknown_), one of the other tracks (_My Wave_) clearly has five beats per bar during its verses. Yes, another irregular time-signature (5/4, in this case)!
+DailyFrankPeter After doing a count, the song seems to be in a 7/8 or 7/4 format
+novic329 Yes. 7/4.
Cornell. Pure and absolute genius.
The drum solo alone in this song is better than the whole song "Black Hole Sun". Matt Cameron is just amazing!!
The story of this song is truly amazing. Rest well, Chris. We miss you...
miss the 90s grunge era so much...Layne, Eddie and Chris...3 best voices ever!!
Cobain?
+Mac Gordon yeah Kurt too!
+Sean Ryan :D
+Mac Gordon eh
Scott Weiland?
Still my favorite song of all time that features a solo played on the spoons
I prefer the fork version myself.
I prefer the fork version myself. It has more emotion.
+Mario M Nah spork version has the best of both worlds!
i prefer chopsticks; they are BRUTAL..
+kiba vlood no knives are the best they have better sounding solos
One of the most kickass songs top to bottom in all of music, let alone rock. The drums and bass, the guitar riffs and overdubs, and Chris’ vocal talent, all-around KICK ASS.
Thanks Chris for all the hours I spent listening to your songs from Soundgarden, Audioslave, and your own songs, I really appreciate you putting emotion, and more meaning into this life, thank you for everything, rest in peace!
Fernando López 😭
que mal ingles
I use to listen to audio slave as a baby it was the only way I would go to sleep 🤣
Sad news that Chris is gone. Never forgotten, a great talent indeed.
The man,the voice. forever missed🖤
We couldnt save you man, but i really wish we could have. Miss you a lot \m/x
RIP CHRIS CORNELL :(
That god damn drum solo...😭😱💕
One of the greatest songs ever, especially out of the 90s... and it's about a man playing with two eating utincils... "Inventions" of about 3k years ago. What a gift. Thank you for sharing with us all... ⚜️
Impresionante canción. La mejor banda Soundgarden sin dudas.
El hombre que maneja las cucharas es un gran artista, él también merece buenos comentarios por su arte.
Lyrics :
Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, Spoonman
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me
All my friends are Indians
All my friends are brown and red, Spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
They beat the rhythm with their bones, Spoonman
Feel the rhythm with you hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman
Thank you, good night people
ah found it
Come on like it all.

A must hear!!!!!!!!!!!
or pit captions on thanks tho
@@beauxguidry5373 come on while I get off
One of the greatest voices of my generation is gone today. Chris, I will never forget your music and how much joy you gave to me and many others. Say hello to Heaven.
Chris, a gorgeous, phenomenal talent, a great man, a true musician.
No one today holds a candle to the great performers of the so called grunge era.
I was a kid when this song played on the radio, and I never understood what it was about. but it played a lot on the radio, and when I hear it now, it reminds me of when I was a kid, and I was happier and carefree. it's a great song. it sounds cool every time I hear it
R.I.P Chris Cornell thank you for making some brilliant,unique and incredibly intelligent music. A true genius has left us miss you Chris.
You ever notice that in many of his songs he says " SAVE ME " it's a pretty ominous feeling! Missing him! Especially what would his music sound like today? Love from 🇨🇦✨💫☄️🌠
Thinking the same
I remember those days! Luckly!
He only died a couple years ago, i don't think his music would have changed too much. He was making music still with Audioslave.
@@bernecker88 Audioslave broke up in 2007...
Especially when you know he was murdered and the project they were working on. Save Me, indeed. Holy Spirit with Chris Cornell. Noticably so
This is 1 hell of a rock band
That riff has a Iommi sized groove in it 🕺🏼🖤🥶☠️💥🤘🏻I remeber when this single was released,Soundgarden in 94 was the biggest baddest band on the planet,eventually Tool would come to hold that title but these guys had it from 91-94,they were peerless
"Spoonman" was released as a single on this day in 1994.
Thanks to Chis Cornell for letting me know.
It has been 3 years today since we lost you and still it is a shock you are not here with that voice and music. RIP Chris ~ (20th July 1964~May 18th 2017) 🖤
It hurts every day all the time. 😔
Plot twist: spoonman is the man in the box
The story, the song, the video, etc are all just insanely awesome. RIP Chris, the best vocalist that ever lived!
My heart is broken. I never knew u personally, yet you've been such a huge factor in my life for the past 24 years. I've fell on black days...may you rest peacefully, my beautiful Chris...💜 Say hello to heaven..
I have been high and low but through it all I could always rely on Chris Cornells voice to save my life from very dark times .his death crushed me so bad rip Mr Cornell.
One part of my musical soul died the day Chris passed @Amy Lynn & @Sean Kopperstad. :'-(
What an awesome 7/4 signature!
Spoonman is now a superhero... its official
After all these I still love this song. Great memories. Excellent drums and vocals.
This is one of the songs I point to when I hear people ask what’s so great about Soundgarden. The opening hook convinces everybody.
The world is now a worst place without him... R.I.P Mr Cornell and thank you for your music...
robert garcia THANKS my friend ,,💥
