And all three of them had something different, someone different, they were feeling and thinking about with their versions. The spiritual magic of music. Kind of like Hallelujah, that song has taken on so many different forms and all are powerful.
@@sharkbeatz313 That one hit me hard too. I just didn't see it coming...though in retrospect, looking back at old Soundgarden lyrics, it's all SO foreseeable. It's such a cultural loss that of the front-people in the "big four" Seattle bands...only one is left. Shortly after Chris' passing, Eddie was a guest on a podcast hosted by Cornell's daughter. It's a mental health focused podcast, ironically enough. It was a heavy episode. You could see on Eddie's face how losing so many peers/friends over the years really messed him up. I barely ever cry (not a brag...it's mostly a defense mechanism to not feel pain. i gotta work on that..) but watching that podcast...you bet I had a good cry. The fact it was Eddie talking to Chris' own daughter was especially rough. She seemed really cool tho, and you could tell the Cornell and Vedder families are super tight.
@@avedic You're absolutely right, It was almost like he knew his time here was going to be short. That podcast had to of been heavy. I'll have to check it out. We all have to have a good cry once in a while. I hope you're doing well and thank you for your reply
One thing I really LOVE about Chris' singing is the emphasis on certain key words to express that raw emotion, instead of just typical "over-harmonizing".
The last verse "all the flowers that you planted mama, in your back yard...all died when you went away" gets me every time. Incredible vocalist, fabulous songwriter of songs like Sunshower, Fell on Black Days, The Day I Tried to Live, Like Suicide, When I'm Down, Follow My Way, Seeking A Friend For The End of The World, Say Hello 2 Heaven, Wave Goodbye, Seasons, Like A Stone, etc, etc. And his "thank you" at the end of the song. No Chris. Thank you...for making the soundtrack to my life with your music.
You should check out Chris singing on a song called "Call me a dog" on the Temple of the Dog album. How Chris had that much soul as a 27 year old is enigmatic. Grab a tissue when you listen to this.
Highly highly recommend his cover of Patience. The first time I heard it, I was driving and I had to pull over just to take it all in and process. One of the greatest voices of our time.
Have listened to this song and chris solo stuff for so long. Always go back to it during shitty days. But ive decided now that im gonna write down in my will so that this song is played during my funeral. Love this song. Rest well Chirs.
Chris Cornell is my favorite vocalist and there is not a close second! From Outshined to Like a Stone to "I Am the Highway", to "Black Hole Sun" to "Hungerstrike" to "Cochise" to this song. His range. His tone. He can carry a note for what seems like forever. None of it feels labored or forced. He's like no one else I've ever heard!
Last time I saw him was the 2014 Soundgarden reunion tour, with Nine Inch Nails, at White River Amphitheater. My foot was killing me and I couldn't stand for much of the show when everyone else did, so I mostly heard it without seeing .... and with Cornell, that is sure enough. When you have a chance to go to a show like that, who cares if your foot hurts, YOU GO. You would always regret not.
I do really love seeing younger people appreciating past music. This was an instant classic. Chris had a literal 1 in a billion voice. It shocked my world the day he left this world..
RIP Chris Cornell. We lost a great singer who influenced rock and music in general greatly. Whether it was with Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog or his solo material. It would have been fun to see what his music would have been going forward but unfortunately he is gone like so many others. His music will live forever in our hearts.
A cello always adds instant melancholy to a song. I am a keyboard player and I finally decided to teach myself how to play one after I found a bright red cello in a thrift store. Its being repaired right now. I have loved this song since it came out. I didn't dare to cover it since my range is quite a bit different than Sinead's, and there is little chance of improving on it. Then I heard this version.
“It’s been so lonely without you here, like a bird without a song” has to be one of the saddest lyrics ever. And I’m here for it. Cornell was my favorite singer ever and we were robbed of his amazing voice that shoulda been here at least another 30 years…
There was always a subtle sadness in all of his music. Even the upbeat stuff. That’s part of what made it so real and appealing. 100% genuine. One of the greats as far as I’m concerned. Not just singing, but epic songwriting, and a great guitar player.
i just discovered your channel and I love your reaction videos. Your reactions to Alter Bridge are what first drew me in. Whenever I meet someone who has not heard of Chris Cornell, I point them to this cover every time. I'll throw my vote in for more Alter Bridge. There's a great acoustic only version of "Ghosts of Days Gone By" that you can find on YT. It's a SiriusXM video. If you want to hear more of Mark Tremonti's voice, I highly recommend "Waters Rising" or "Burn It Down (live versions)" . On the studio version of "Burn it Down", Myles sang lead, but a few years back they started having Mark take lead. No matter what though, anything by Alter Bridge is just so, so good!
I know a lot of people prefer this version because of the simple acoustic arrangement, but you should really try and listen to the live version of Sinead O'Connor from the Chile concert back in 1990 I believe. It's just as beautiful. 🤘
Beside his incredible range, what made Chris one of the best ever was his ability to create an atmosphere & entire world that the listener could be part of effortlessly. (In my humble opinion…)
Chris is in my top five. Miss this man so damn much. He put every measure of himself into his music, and this one... well it hits for Prince, for Sinead, and Chris. ** edit he and Vedder's mouths were so damn powerful with such small space.
Your face said it all, you admired, fell in love, got heartbroken and moved by his voice n his version of this song. He sand this a few months after Prince had died, if i remember correctly, that's what motivated him to honor him with his song 😢 This version always breaks my heart
If you loved this, you should react to his song 'The Keeper' also on acoustic guitar. It shows more of his range. The world is a lesser place without him in it, yet his music will live on.
I was 16 in 1991 when Soundgarden Badmotorfinger came out and i instantly fell in love with it and his voice, then to find out that he was also a singer in Temple of A Dog along side unknown Eddie Veddar of Pearl Jam. I have loved him ever since and he is my favorite artist well along with Ozzy Osbourne, and now The Warning lol In on of the music magazines back then(Kerrang, Spin, Hit Parader) Elton John had said Chris Cornell was the voice of rock. Along with Layne Stayley they had to of the best voices in recent times. Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless were the openers for Soundgarden the night he took his life and it hit her really hard. If it wasnt for Matt Cameron and Kim Thyll she almost gave up music completely. He is so missed and both his daughters Lilly and Toni have beautiful voices like their father.
I remember listening to Soundgarden as a teenager. This song gets me every time. It reminds me of all the people I've lost. It's such a beautiful cover.
I'll never forget the first time I saw Sound Garden at the Whiskey in Hollywood. Must have been 89 or 90. Cornell's voice live was something to behold. Also wondering if you have heard Sinead's version? It's what made the song huge.
Chris was the real deal. Iknow this wasn't his song but he wrote great, deep and profound lyrics, had one of the best rock voices in at least a generation or two and for instance he did the arrangement for this song with the kick @ss Chello and the kick@ss solo guitarist. His arrangement skills imo were/are kinda overlooked. He was practically a musical prodigy. He talks about in an interview of hearing lyrics in his head for Fell on Black days(I think) while driving late at night in his car and he kept repeating them until he got home and then wrote them down and put them to music within 45 minutes or something.
His daughter covered this song with a backtrack of him singing along. It puts such a different perspective on the song and is beautifully sad in its own way. Highly recommend you check it out. This version is just...gorgeous.
So i believe this is the second suggestion I've made that you've reacted to. Your videos are always awesome. Great insight. Now it's time to do "Tearjerker" by Korn. It's a different side of the band.
Ooohh girl, you don’t even know yet!😂 Even if you don’t react to them all, go back and listen to Beyond the Wheel, Flower, and Hands All Over from Soundgarden’s first couple of albums to hear Chris at his peak- those screams will rend the soul from your body (in a good way😂).
The adjective you’re looking for is HAUNTING😢 every time I see this video it hits my soul. No disrespect to Sinead O’Connor but this cover just knocks hers off the shelf because it’s raw.
This song takes on an extra poignancy considering what would happen not too long after this. His voice has both raw, gritty power but there are these sorts of flashes of vulnerability that he effortlessly conveys...such a loss. I personally love his version of Ave Maria
Chris is always amazing! Would there be any chance to you reacting to sleep token Atlantic? I know you appreciate vessels voice and that song really showcases it beautifully. Love your content. Thank you for doing what you do. 😊
I had tickets to see him and my vacation plans changed and I had to sell the tickets. He died shortly after. I'm still kicking myself. His death was a hard one to take. No one sings like you anymore
The enunciation is the difference. For me, anyway. I'm an old non-musician but... Chris Cornell's lyrics (as opposed to some of his grunge peers and predecessors) could be clearly comprehended no matter how high or raspy or batshit crazy the range he attempted. Same reason why Frank Sinatra was so highly regarded back in the days before the beautiful RAYACTION ever even thunk about reacting. I met Cornell at a party in Seattle back in the mid 90's. When he has already a supercool superstar. He said he was a drummer turnt rock star is what he told me. Whatever that means.
Miss you Chris, miss you Chester. Both gone, in the exact same way, the same damn demons, on Chris's birthday no less. At least, these two legends are together again. Heaven is lucky to have them, we, who are left behind, are not so lucky.
We are not left alone. We still have an amazing catalog of their music to keep with us in their absence. Sometimes you just gotta look at the glass as half full.
As great as Soundgarden shows were, Chris’s solo shows were something truly remarkable. His shows reminded me of Tori Amos shows that felt so intimate that you didn’t want it to end, and there were so many moments where you could hear a pin drop, like the whole crowd was holding their breath waiting for the next word. That loss still hurts and will for a long time. What an incredible artist.
The Sinead version will always be the definitive version. It's just a perfect pop song. Deeply emotional and deeply catchy. And her particular delivery is just perfect for it. But this is definitely the runner up. I sometimes forget what a stunningly powerful voice Chris had. Deep and high at the same time...with this very fine grain tone. Like an electric blanket. Obviously, his eventual passing(and the specific circumstances) make this performance all the more affecting. I never quite realized how much he struggled with serious depression...he always struck me as supremely confident and together. But, when you look back at old Soundgarden lyrics, it was staring us all in the face. Heck, he wrote a song who's title is literally the method he ended up using. It's really a bummer how many people we've lost from that generation of music. Of the "big 4" Seattle bands...the only front-person still alive is Eddie Vedder. I hope he's doing ok. I watched a podcast shortly after Chris' passing...where Chris' daughter interviewed Eddie. It was heavy. And you could tell how gutted Eddie was to have lost his peers/friends. I can't see Perry Farrell or Billy Corgan EVER doing that though...they're both too in love with themselves to ever make that choice, which I'm glad about. Janes and the Pumpkins mean a LOT to me.
I would recommend his cover of "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson sometime soon. It feels like an entirely different song, like when Lake Street Dive remade "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5.
Great vid, wish you would of added in the Sinead O'Connor version too for a reference since it was her version that made the song famous, but all the cred needs to be Price because he wrote it.
The Contortionist - Language I: Intuition. Progressive metal/rock from Indiana. So atmospheric and peaceful for metal. Highly recommend you check it out
It's so sad that the 3 people connected to this are all gone now. Chris, Sinead, and Prince, may you rest in peace! We miss you!❤
Jfc you scared me. I thought the guitarist and cellist were hit by a bus.
Maybe this song was cursed lol
And all three of them had something different, someone different, they were feeling and thinking about with their versions. The spiritual magic of music. Kind of like Hallelujah, that song has taken on so many different forms and all are powerful.
This is like tragic.. but you're right.
Losing Chris was truly tragic. Great reaction!
His death messed me up for a long time. I felt a part of my childhood die. He's a legend
@@sharkbeatz313 That one hit me hard too. I just didn't see it coming...though in retrospect, looking back at old Soundgarden lyrics, it's all SO foreseeable.

Good music has lost a lot in recent years: Dolores, Chris, Chester and others. It's so sad.
@@sharkbeatz313 Losing him and Chester Bennington, man...
His cover of " Billie Jean" is also epic !
So are his covers of "Patience" and "One." His cover of "One" and his story behind it is amazing. If you haven't heard that one, check it out.
Yes
yes
His cover of Patience is just as good as this. It has more feeling, more depth than the originals. His voice is so effortless, too.
That cover is amazing
Same with billie Jean
One thing I really LOVE about Chris' singing is the emphasis on certain key words to express that raw emotion, instead of just typical "over-harmonizing".
He also covered Thank you by Led Zeppelin
I prefer his cover of Patience over Nothing Compares To You as well.
Than k You is really close to Patience, I go back and forth between the two.
I knew not to watch it,
I knew exactly what it would do.
So I watched it 3x.
Why am I like this?!!?
The last verse "all the flowers that you planted mama, in your back yard...all died when you went away" gets me every time.
Incredible vocalist, fabulous songwriter of songs like Sunshower, Fell on Black Days, The Day I Tried to Live, Like Suicide, When I'm Down, Follow My Way, Seeking A Friend For The End of The World, Say Hello 2 Heaven, Wave Goodbye, Seasons, Like A Stone, etc, etc.
And his "thank you" at the end of the song. No Chris. Thank you...for making the soundtrack to my life with your music.
An absolute legend gone far far too soon. There will never be another like him.
“No one sings like you anymore”
Couldn’t be more true, rest in power
You should check out Chris singing on a song called "Call me a dog" on the Temple of the Dog album. How Chris had that much soul as a 27 year old is enigmatic. Grab a tissue when you listen to this.
This man saved me from myself more times than i can count. Continues to.
No one sings like you anymore.
Chris was a generational talent and is greatly missed by many, especially this 58 year old man.
As a lead guitarist, her love for the cello during that solo... it hurt. This is a masterpiece. RIP Chris Cornell. LEGEND forever.
Such a great version of this song. Chris was a once in a lifetime voice - RIP :(
Highly highly recommend his cover of Patience. The first time I heard it, I was driving and I had to pull over just to take it all in and process. One of the greatest voices of our time.
Chris has the incredible voice that just grabs your soul and hangs onto it from commencement to conclusion
Have listened to this song and chris solo stuff for so long. Always go back to it during shitty days. But ive decided now that im gonna write down in my will so that this song is played during my funeral. Love this song. Rest well Chirs.

Chris was genuine. And his pure heart space shines thru his music. We feel him. Thank you. And thank you Chris for everything. ♥️
I just visited his grave 3 days ago. For the hundredth time. It's as beautiful as his soul.
I think it's from this same session, but he did "Fell On Black Days" and it was a great version of that tune too
Gold! I could listen to that version a million times
There was always a subtle sadness in all of his music. Even the upbeat stuff. That’s part of what made it so real and appealing. 100% genuine. One of the greats as far as I’m concerned. Not just singing, but epic songwriting, and a great guitar player.
This felt like his own requiem.
I am completely gutted

3:01 I feel the same way. What a loss.
Never have I heard the word 'flowers' sung so beautifully...
You should check out Outshined, and Slaves and bulldozers 2 Amazing songs by Soundgarden with out of this world vocals. Chris is my fav vocalist.
Right from the first note Chris Cornell (RIP) singing it puts you in a different place great job with your reaction and thoughts on this cover .
If you loved this, you should react to his song 'The Keeper' also on acoustic guitar. It shows more of his range. The world is a lesser place without him in it, yet his music will live on.

Классный был музыкант. Много лет его слушал. Еще с Soundgarden.
RIP Chris you were truly something special
Chris.. 🥺❣️
I remember listening to Soundgarden as a teenager. This song gets me every time. It reminds me of all the people I've lost. It's such a beautiful cover.
I was fortunate enough to see Audioslave live at Roskilde back in 2006. I would’ve loved to see him solo. Luckily we have these recording to enjoy.
Uh ohh sumbuddys in luvvv!!😂😂❤
Love your reactions, please, do not stop it
RIP Chris ...surely by now you have heard the Sinad o conner version which was the one everyone knew in the 90s
Best version of this song
It’s so sad…the 3 people all most associated with this song are all gone 😢
Great reaction many thanks!!!! A iconic version from Sinnead Occonor live in Chile, please react
🎤 Rest In Power Chris Cornell
🗣️No one sings like you anymore.
Or ever will.

This version is just...gorgeous.
Beautiful
Absolutely love this version, always have. Listen to his live acoustic version/ mash up of the songs one by u2 and metallica( so wonderfully done )
His song When I'm down performed live is beautiful
So i believe this is the second suggestion I've made that you've reacted to. Your videos are always awesome. Great insight. Now it's time to do "Tearjerker" by Korn. It's a different side of the band.
He brought in the cello, btw was a genius
In the case of Chris Cornell, the void he left is equal to his legacy.
Yeeeaaasss Queen! Your reaction to his sad, useless passing made me subscribe...
You MUST listen to his acoustic performance of Call Me a Dog, specifically the one from his live acoustic album.
God bless you Raychel ❤
A beautiful lady, and beautiful reaction.
Gone too soon.
SOUNDGARDEN: OUTSHINE, when you get a chance.
You’re awesome 😎
Keep it up 👍
Ooohh girl, you don’t even know yet!😂 Even if you don’t react to them all, go back and listen to Beyond the Wheel, Flower, and Hands All Over from Soundgarden’s first couple of albums to hear Chris at his peak- those screams will rend the soul from your body (in a good way😂).
The adjective you’re looking for is HAUNTING😢 every time I see this video it hits my soul. No disrespect to Sinead O’Connor but this cover just knocks hers off the shelf because it’s raw.
His voice reflects how I feel. and fear for my future.
PRINCE!!!!
You have to react to Metalachi, any song would be great but the one that shook me the most was Crazy Train. Fantastic reaction as always ❤
His version of "Billie Jean" and "A day in a life" are also amazing
This song takes on an extra poignancy considering what would happen not too long after this.
His voice has both raw, gritty power but there are these sorts of flashes of vulnerability that he effortlessly conveys...such a loss.
I personally love his version of Ave Maria
Chris is always amazing! Would there be any chance to you reacting to sleep token Atlantic? I know you appreciate vessels voice and that song really showcases it beautifully. Love your content. Thank you for doing what you do. 😊
I had tickets to see him and my vacation plans changed and I had to sell the tickets. He died shortly after. I'm still kicking myself. His death was a hard one to take. No one sings like you anymore
The enunciation is the difference. For me, anyway. I'm an old non-musician but... Chris Cornell's lyrics (as opposed to some of his grunge peers and predecessors) could be clearly comprehended no matter how high or raspy or batshit crazy the range he attempted. Same reason why Frank Sinatra was so highly regarded back in the days before the beautiful RAYACTION ever even thunk about reacting. I met Cornell at a party in Seattle back in the mid 90's. When he has already a supercool superstar. He said he was a drummer turnt rock star is what he told me. Whatever that means.
Any song that the late great Chris Cornell RIP covered he made it his. What a talent gone way too early.
Miss you Chris, miss you Chester. Both gone, in the exact same way, the same damn demons, on Chris's birthday no less.
At least, these two legends are together again.
Heaven is lucky to have them, we, who are left behind, are not so lucky.
We are not left alone. We still have an amazing catalog of their music to keep with us in their absence. Sometimes you just gotta look at the glass as half full.
Awesome video.
While Prince wrote it I would say this is more of a cover of the Sinead O'Connor version and arrangement with the cello.
@nikkievans8301 just say you never heard Prince's version
You're forgetting to mention Sinead O'Connor's version. This song really helped her majorly in her music career.
As great as Soundgarden shows were, Chris’s solo shows were something truly remarkable. His shows reminded me of Tori Amos shows that felt so intimate that you didn’t want it to end, and there were so many moments where you could hear a pin drop, like the whole crowd was holding their breath waiting for the next word. That loss still hurts and will for a long time. What an incredible artist.

So Chris has done a bunch of covers. Billie Jean, by Michael Jackson? Of course!! He made it as creepy as it should have been. Brilliant!
Chris did a great cover of this song
Iconic
God of vocals
Absolutely brutal. It’s been seven years since we lost Chris. Depression is a mother fucker.
Listen to Higher Truth it’s the last release he had while alive and every song is pure poetry
UR silly but ,keep it up lady! Love your work. You have a talent gurl! No do not question?!?.
I would recommend his cover of "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson sometime soon. It feels like an entirely different song, like when Lake Street Dive remade "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5.

If you like cello may i suggest apocalyptica? They also did song with three days grace singer called I Dont Care.
You need to listen once mekel from indonesia
Listen to fell on black days by soundgarden
