Tim Commerford of Audioslave talks about Chris Cornell's lyrical style and explains Like a Stone on the Audioslave DVD: "He's [Cornell] a poet, and he fooled me with a lot of his songs and that like a song like "Like A Stone", I thought it was a love song. The chorus is "I'll wait for you there like a stone, I'll wait for you there alone." And I was like "Yo, bro what are you waiting for?" And he's like "Waiting to die." And I just went "Oh, okay." *laughs* That changes everything. I went back and looked at the song and I..I got kind of saddened by what he's singing about is like a guy waiting alone in a house of death, and all his friends are dying and he's just waiting there, and I'm picturing this man in a rocking chair like waiting to die. It changed everything for me. That made me go back and look at all the songs, and maybe go back and look at Temple of a Dog songs, and Soundgarden songs, and everything, and I started going "Okay, I get Cornell now, and he's a genius." He..He fooled me for..for 15 years, you know? Where maybe I thought some of the things he was singing about were slightly trivial, but they're never trivial, he's deep...he's really deep."
I generally always found that the best songs by every artist come out when they put their true emotions in, and sadness is a particularly effective one.

So many artists hiding their voice behind the sounds of their music, and then there's this guy - not hiding a damned thing, his talent unapologetically at the forefront of every single song.
Is this man even human? He almost never breaths but keeps the notes going clearly. I implore people to listen again, pay attention to his breathing. Very impressive.

the number of Brazilians in the comments is impressive, it just indicates that you should do some shows in Brazil. Os Br dão um like aqui, eu preciso ir em um show desse cara um dia, vamos fazer ele entender o tanto de fã que ele tem no Brasil, vai que ele cogita vir para cá um dia
Sou fã demais de Chris Cornell, adoro o movimento grunge que surgiu nos anos 90, e conheci o Shawn James através da minha namorada. Cara, ficou incrível essa versão de Like Stone, tenho certeza que se Crhis estivesse vivo estaria orgulhoso.
Shawn, Been listening for years and showing your music to everyone I know. After my dad passed you were the harmonic sanctuary I needed. Please grace me with a Michael Buble "I'm Feeling Good" cover. Would mean the world to me. While dad was fighting his fight he always said, "I'm feeling good" when I asked how he was. He never let the pain show to his children.
Me sinto privilegiado de ver que não sou o único do Brasil, que gosta de música de qualidade. E mais privilegiado de ter descoberto o trabalho do Shawn James. Qualidade sonora ímpar. Aguardo ansioso pelo show dele aqui no RJ. Thank you for your songs. Nice job. Awesome songs.
Ill say it again. Thank God for this man's voice. Its the voice of an angel with thunderous power. Shawn, if you're reading this; you deserve all the success in the world. Thank you for sharing your passion with the all of us.
This may be the best, most hypnotic vocal I have ever heard in my whole entire fucking life. What the fuck is this shit here, Shawn? The abilities that reside in your vocal chords are bordering on supernatural.
Saw him live twice. There is literally zero drop in quality between studio and live. It really is incredible. If any of you get the chance to see him, you should do so.
This is haunting. I never thought anyone could capture the depth and loneliness that Chris Cornell does when he sang but I was wrong. What a beautiful cover of this song
Uffffff!!!! James... Me hiciste botar unas lagrimas!!!. Q maravillosa interpretación... Increible homenaje a Chris Cornell!!! .... No hay duda que eres uno de los mas grandes de esta epoca. Saludos desde Peru
To be honest I was going into this highly skeptical.. and just plain high. But I digress.. This was one of the best covers i have heard. And to be able to sound that close to Cornell, but still have your own sound is pretty amazing. I cant wait to hear more.
So. I've been listening to your music for a couple years. I'm definitely a fan. In fact I've been trying to learn That's life on my guitar. This cover however, actually exposed your actual range. Hands down one of the best vocalists of the modern era. Right there next to Brent Smith. Thank you for sharing your music with us sir. Chris I believe would thumbs up this one.
The amount of control he has over his voice is unspeakable
Even better live. Perfection

It is beautifully wonderfully soulful 💔😥❤❤💙👏👏👏👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Maybe, he has a voice for opera.

Mind blown. Fakk..
Maybe with the exception of "part of me", but then again it might have a deeper meaning from when I first listened to it.

No doubt! completely sexy ... And then he sings...Voice of a gypsy god, soul of a healer
What a godly vocal
React to him

I’m curious what you think about this music ruclips.net/video/o20T4VDfzDc/видео.html
You gotta react to him queen 😭
You here?
On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone, yes, I will
And on my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
To the pagans
Or anyone who will take me to Heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled
And there you led me on
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone, alone
And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
For all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone, alone Saludos desde 🇨🇱🔥

It's rare to hear someone that can do a Chris Cornell song justice, but you did it. Lovely cover and RIP Chris
Listen to Lucas Imbiriba’s cover, It’s amazing.
So many artists hiding their voice behind the sounds of their music, and then there's this guy - not hiding a damned thing, his talent unapologetically at the forefront of every single song.
This is him exactly.
Or he just sings really good lol
Truer words have not been written
So true
I'm just a normal guy... I see a video of Shawn James and I hit the like button.

Captures all the pain that Chris had when he wrote this song.

Brazil loves you 💚💛
Chris would be proud. That was incredible and powerful
Another underrated man😩
Goosebumps
This may be the best, most hypnotic vocal I have ever heard in my whole entire fucking life. What the fuck is this shit here, Shawn? The abilities that reside in your vocal chords are bordering on supernatural.
His vocal cords are very connected to nature. Supernatural is debatable, but he has a gift. I find his voice very therapeutic.
Give "the Thief and the Moon" a go. The version on the channel called BarnHub is what made me fall in love with his voice. So very haunting.
2020, climbing a hill, this theme and a radiant sun on the horizon.
This is music, this is music and I don't want to hear anything else.
I’m surprised the mic doesn’t explode or turn gold every time Shawn James gets on it
So beautiful. Chris Cornell is smiling down from Heaven or wherever it is he wanted to go... -Del
i waited so long to listen your version of like a stone and damn... what a song...
That voice... Thunder and whiskey
RIP Chris Cornell
Shawn sempre incrível nas suas interpretações ♥️🇧🇷
This man🖤 just beautiful
This is possibly the most beautiful thing I’ve heard since Chris Cornell sand this himself
Comment suis-je passée à côté de cette pépite qui a déjà 4 ans.... ?? Frissons dès le début... Merci l'Artiste ! 🥰
Man this guy....words can’t express the way he sings. Soul singer. Amazing rendition.
Do you hear that? Shhhh! Listen!! That’s Chris, crying from heaven🥺❤️
What a respectful and innovative cover of this classic. Chris is smiling at this solid acoustic version of Like A Stone.
Saw him live twice. There is literally zero drop in quality between studio and live. It really is incredible. If any of you get the chance to see him, you should do so.
Chris Cornell rip
Thanks for such a gift, Shawn
This is haunting. I never thought anyone could capture the depth and loneliness that Chris Cornell does when he sang but I was wrong. What a beautiful cover of this song

It’s so much sadder now than it was then, because he is gone. Thank you Chris. Thank you Shawn, for doing the song justice.
Chills! I didn't know I needed this! Beautiful!
I got goosebumps by the title alone.
To be honest I was going into this highly skeptical.. and just plain high. But I digress.. This was one of the best covers i have heard. And to be able to sound that close to Cornell, but still have your own sound is pretty amazing. I cant wait to hear more.
