You can't sing along with this song and not feel emotion. Sometimes when you're depressed you feel the closest and furthest from humanity. I'm sure I'm not the only person this song has dug out of the hole and even made a rainy day feel great. Rip Chris. We're still here in 2024.
I FEEL YOU I USED TO LISTEN TO AUDIOSLAVE WHEN MY BROTHER DIED THEY HELPED ME GET THROUGH IT I'VE BEEN TO PRISON BEHAVIORAL CENTERS BEEN HOMELESS AND MUSIC MAKES EVERYTHING GO AWAY
Chris, I never cared about celebrities. Even when they died it was "oh that sucks." I found out you died at 7:05am. I had just started my shift. It ruined my whole day, and I thought about it regularly for over a week. I realized I listened to your music so much because it was so relatable, it felt like it was my own words. You made an impact on me that no other celebrity could even come close to. Rest in Peace, man. No one sings like you anymore.
I feel you, Ben. Chris had a way of voicing pain in a way people from all walks of life could appreciate. When I found out Chris passed I cried. There will never be another Chris Cornell, he was magnificently one of a kind and will never be replaced in my heart. Rest in peace, King. Your work will live on to remind us of your brilliance.

I feel exactly the same..I met many bands and famous ppl through work, some socially. GnR, Slash, Duff McKagen FNM, Patton, Jim Martin, Bottom, Kurt Cobain (though he was not speaking to anyone being unwell) No ppl he was not depressed or suicidal. Later C.Love.(what a fucking mess) REM..Peter Gabriel many more. I don't like to have regrets but the 3 or 4 opportunities I had to meet Chris. I couldn't go from the situation at that time in my life controlling me( i was young)but I will always regret not pushing on back, being stronger than the jealous older mean spirited bastard I wasted 3 precious yrs with, and going. I get a stab of pain in my heart that I missed my chances to say Thank You to Chris for his music!! And maybe have a talk about his songs and his views about life..This will forever and always be my biggest and only regret....Lord knows. R.I.P. Brother 💜
But imagine if Slash came in shredding for that solo though. Just the thought of it sends shivers down my spine. All respect to this guitarist though, he did a great job.
Someone falls to pieces Sleeping all alone Someone kills the pain Spinning in the silence She finally drift away Someone gets excited In a chapel yard Catches a bouquet Another lays a dozen White roses on a grave And be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do Someone finds salvation in everyone Another only pain Someone tries to hide themself Down inside himself he prays Someone swears their true love Until the end of time Another runs away separate or united? Healthy or insane? And be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do) To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do) To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do) Be yourself is all that you can do Even when you've paid enough Been pulled apart Or been held up Every single memory of The good or bad, faces of love Don't lose any sleep tonight I'm sure everything will end up alright You may win or lose But to be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do) To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do) To be yourself is all that you can Be yourself is all that you can Be yourself is all that you can do
I remember going through a terrible time in my life and Chris's lyrics were there for me.. to anyone listening to this song going through a rough time I'm here to tell you that the song is right. everything will turn out alright. just be yourself..
I'm a 69 yr old guy who grew up with music from Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Deep Purple. . . . So am relatively a new listener to this particular group, but have been a huge fan of Chris Cornell from the first time I heard THAT VOICE. So much soul and heart pours out whether it's a ballad or pushing his voice to the limits. What a shame for this talent to be absent from our world. As another comment said- R.I.P. Mr Cornell- and , tho many songs came from your pain, thank you for leaving a mark that will always be there. Love this tune!!!
@@penguinisalive6027 try "black hole sun" or "pretty noose" or maybe "rhinosaur". all are well composed songs that showcase Chris' vocals well. don't watch the video's though. play the songs, turn it up loud and listen. CC❤ non the less, full respect to you that you appreciate his talent. most people these days don't really care
@penguinisalive6027 I was the other way around. Knew him for Soundgarden in my high school years then stumbled into Audioslave in my 30s. Miss you Chris. RIP.
Said goodbye to my beautiful mum yesterday and this was the last song we used as part of the service, mum loved to sing along to this and she was always herself.....thank you xxx
Someone falls to pieces Sleeping all alone Someone kills the pain Spinning in the silence To finally drift away Someone gets excited In a chapel yard Catches a bouquet Another lays a dozen White roses on a grave... The first song I ever listened from Audioslave way back in 2006. This is among one of the bands that really inspired me in the music scene I currently am. R. I. P. brother. 💔
Knowing I didn't discover his music before he was gone is an ache I feel every time I hear him sing...but I'm so drawn to the beauty of it. RIP Chris Cornell. Just wish I had got to follow your music before you left.
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU CAN DO TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU CAN DO TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU CAN DO TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU CAN DO Thank you for the words Chris. Rest easy...
*Lyrics* Someone falls to pieces Sleeping all alone Someone kills the pain Spinning in the silence To finally drift away Someone gets excited In a chapel yard Catches a bouquet Another lays a dozen White roses on a grave To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do Someone finds salvation in everyone And another only pain Someone tries to hide himself Down inside himself he prays Someone swears his true love Until the end of time Another runs away Separate or united?

I do but to really believe .... I would love for him to pop up in you two second breath Heald due to the belief in paranormal when paranormal says hello
He gave me strenght with this song: BE YOUR SELF. I have been fighting againts depression and other diseases of my broken mind. I put my heart in God's hands and smile everyday feeling the fire of being my self. THANK YOU CORNELL ♥ Your voice is pure power and this song is gonna save a lot of boys and girls who need it like I did. I found salvation in this song: REST IN PEACE CHRIS
Whenever I’m feeling scared, insecure, and I feel like I’m gonna lose it; I always find myself coming back to this song for comfort. I feel like I’m gonna be alright after listening to it, and I start feeling lighter and breathing easier and my mind calms down. I love the sound, Chris Cornell is highly talented along with the rest of the band [R.I.P. Chris, and you are still loved and missed😢], and I love the meaning. I appreciate that this beautiful piece of art was created. Thank you.❤️
Yes when i got back from OIF i was sent to afghnistan my world changed i had to reset some shit toxic gf acted like i was in the bahamas or something- just doin my shit on my own now - being myself to chris
One of the greatest lyrical songs of our time. Unapologetically acknowledging to be you! Do not let the inner voice tear you down and accept that you are beautiful just as you are. Not to mention the amazing musical sound that Tom, Brad, and Tim developed. What a truly great band!
I spoke to some younger men around 21 years old. I told them some game Being yourself is all you can be. I live in downtown of a city and when I walk down, I get people shaking my hands, good interactions because I'm respected. I treat people with respect, even drug dealers, people that run gangs hug me. They respect someone that themselves. Integrity being honest is everything.
Every time you feel broken, helpless and going trough heavy shit in life, come here, listen to chris and put on repeat as many times as needed. Sing , cry and scream this lyrics out , and im sure you will feel better after …
I agree but even though I listen to it I'm feeling like everything is too much and I feel Chris felt the same. Even though he wrote the words, the belief wasn't there. EVERYDAY is a struggle, but it's ok not to be ok...
I think part of the mental health struggle can be trying not to be yourself. You have to be you. That's the only way to live in reality. That doesn't mean you can't become a better version of you, though. Face those demons and come out the other side on top. It can be scary as shit, and you have to do the work, but it's so worth it.
Amazing song. Roughest part of my life the last 2 years. This song helps me make it through some days. Thank you Chris!! Be yourself is all you can do!!
Same bro, especially early 2022. Listening to this song makes me cry sometimes because I used to listen to this when I was in the worst time in my life. Looking back at it I see how far I’ve come, just makes me feel at peace with myself, and this song reminds me of it.
Verse 1] Someone falls to pieces sleeping all alone Someone kills the pain Spinning in the silence She finally drifts away Someone gets excited in a chapel yard Catches a bouquet Another lays a dozen White roses on a grave [Chorus 1] Yeah and to be yourself is all that you can do Hey, to be yourself is all that you can do [Verse 2] Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain Someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays Someone swears his true love until the end of time, another runs away Separate or united, healthy or insane [Chorus 2] To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] And even when you've paid enough Been pulled apart or been held up Every single memory of the good or bad Faces of love Don't lose any sleep tonight I'm sure everything will end up alright You may win or lose [Chorus 1] But to be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do [Chorus 2] To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do [Outro] Be yourself is all that you can Be yourself is all that you can do
he sent me a friend request on facebook and i accepted it and i wish i had left him a couple of comments or posted a comment on his facebook profile so i could've seen if he would've left me any comments or post right back on mine . i'm gonna absolutely totally miss my favorite new friend Chris Cornell so much for the rest of my life
It is a music us alternatives listen. Indigo people. Common people at all are the same, plastic as today is. In the routine. Dont bother yourself. Fuck all. I stopped to give a shit to empty monads.
I know it’s a shame he’s a voice of many generations like my kids love his music as I did and still do all the time he will forever be loved and missed
beechfuzz very well said... this song got me through a very dark and scary time in my life... sometimes I really do think that everyone is put here for a reason. And when they have served their purpose they have to move on. I don't know?✨✨✨
This song and many other of Chris' songs have helped me so much with my mental health throughout the years. Depression and substance abuse is a hard suffering to be dealt with and overcome. I remember listening to this song for the first time when I started getting into bands like Audioslave and Soundgarden (I was born in 2006 so it wasn't until Chris' tragic passing when I was 12 or 13 when I started to get into rock and just music in general and develop an understanding and appreciation for great musicians like Chris.) Anyways, when I first heard this song, once I heard the first verse I just felt an immediate deep connection to what he was saying. I felt like I finally discovered a musician that saw with the same eyes as me. The way Chris was able to portray his emotions and the way he views the world and create imagery within his music is something that can never be done the same again. I will forever be grateful for the inspiration and comfort that I derived from his music.
I couldn't agree more. His music has honestly changed my life as stupid as that may sound. Such deep meanings and lessons in his music I can't help but truly feel his pain, like wow he had a way of expressing his depression and pain, like no other artist I've come across.
For a 16 year-old, you are wise and smart way beyond your years Tommy. I just want you to know that as you see the inspiration in Chris, you too have the same un-replicatable qualities as he did and that same heart and spirit lives-on inside you buddy. Keep strong Tommy and always remember that there may be a hundered million of them, but only one of you. We all believe in you matey! ❤️
Gracias Cris y audioslave por haber creado musica tan maravillosa como esta. A la vez es muy triste saber que perdiste la batalla de la depresion y la ansiedad. Esta enfermedad mental es tan horrible y mortal que solo las personas que la padecemos podemos entender a otros que tambien tienen este transtorno, animo no se den por vencidos, yo en ciertas ocaciones tengo recaidas, tengo pensamientos suicidas, pero se que hay cosas muy importantes en esta historia que se llama vida.
¡Fuerza, Santi ! Todo pasa, cuándo té sientas que todo va mal 😔, abrí la ventana y la puerta, dejá que él sol té cargue de energía y pensa en todos los que estamos pidiendo al "Creador"de todo por vos. Fuerza y adelante 😘, saludos desde Sarandí, Avellaneda, Provincia de Buenos Aires 🇦🇷🕊️.
Gracias a ti hermano por escuchar muy buena musica, tienes que saber que todo es temporal, estamos en un constante cambio y estoy seguro que vas a tener tu tiempo de gloria y espero perdure hasta que completes tu vida en este mundo tan caotico pero a la vez tan natural y complejo, te deseo la mejor de las suertes ❤🤘
Whenever I feel low, Chris's word "Be Yourself is All That You Can Do" gives me strength. Because even if you are in either spectrum of life, good or bad, Be Yourself is all that You Can Do.
Chris, you'll be missed. Beautiful voice with a beautiful heart. I remember hearing Be yourself at 6th grade and instantly making it the anthem for life. Thanks for everything Chris, typing with a heavy heart, Rest in Peace.
"Don't lose any sleep tonight. I'm sure everything will end up alright. You may win or lose." And just like this, he explained what life is all about. You are deeply missed Chris. 🥺
As he says in the lyrics, somewhere someone finds salvation, someone else just pain! So real visionary Chris Cornell! If he were among us, I'm sure of the beautiful post-pandemic compositions he would do.
This kind of music helped me in my adolescence to go forward no matter the difficulties.. I am 24 years old now and I will be grateful for my whole life. I say all this with tears in my eyes, rest in peace a great artist, rest in peace Chriss.
Chris's vocals... and that intense gaze... whoa My dad died yesterday, and grunge music is being a good medicine for my grieving heart, especially anything Chris Cornell and Pearl Jam 🖤
Thank you Chris for your music!!! I listen to your songs every single day, you have helped me through some dark days, best therapy this side of heaven!!! Pray you’re resting in peace…. William in Mississippi 2024
Having a cry at 5 am just realizing that it is alright to be myself and to go live MY life!! I am 27 years old and no one has music like this coming out anymore... All I can say is repeat repeat repeat
@@nicolapole9491 It's more than encouraged, it's inevitable. Indeed, to be ourselves is all that we can do. That our "Self" is defined in relation to the "Self" of others, with time, complexity, and causality creating the unique human that we all are, built from the little pieces of others we meet along the way...at least that's what I've gathered so far in my 35 years...
Probably the most iconic and versatile rock voice there's been. And to think we were lucky enough to be on this flying rock at the same time as Chris. RIP CC.
Chris Cornell passed before I got into Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple Of The Dog, and his solo career. Now looking back I realize how much of an amazing soul he was
Chris Cornell was not only a great singer, musician, composer and lyricist he was also the frontman of 2 of the greatest bands ever Soundgarden and Audioslave (and also Temple of the dogs and great solo carreer). Our attempt to pay a tribute to my personal favourite singer with our version of "Be Yourself" here : th-cam.com/video/QaJaYXfIdrY/w-d-xo.html
I've been miserable for such a long time. I miss waking up and being excited to experience life. It's not an isolated situation, i know you are all out there. Depression can suck you very deep, and if you don't reach out then you are doing yourself an injustice. Don't let the madman in your mind dictate your life. I love you all!
dont take this wrong, but depression is an illusion,....the world has too much to show you..to offer you...just take a ride along the coast....thru a mountain road...experiance an outdoor concert...strike up a conversation with a stranger....volunteer with special needs kids....dont buy into this "depression"...it has hurt alot of good folks....and no, medication is not neccessary ....unless its 4:20....(pardon my spelling)
Have you ever heard of "Warrick Dunn" Warrick suffered from depression during his football career. Warrick Dunn did some incredible things, he built over 32 homes for single mothers and did lots of community work. That's a fine human being, yet he still faced the daily struggle with depression. I agree with a lot of your statement, I think natural highs can be 1 of the best medicines to overcome "bland/rough spots" in 1s life. Good luck to you
In this moment of my life, when I'm not even sure who the hell I am, this songs hits really hard, but help a lot as well. Thanks for these songs Chris. You won't be forgotten
@@breesechick I thought it too, but when you star talking abou these things with other people, sometimes you realize it's not just you. I hope you get through it
Nah man, he's not giving advice... He's telling the truth. He's not saying if you ''Just Be Yourself'' everything will be ok. He's saying you cant do anything BUT ''Be yourself''. It's an argument against the existence of free will. Something i found that almost everybody missed in this song, it's not a happy song, its a dark one, just like most of his music.
Ohhh and i forgot 1 thing....... ''You may win or lose, but to be yourself is all that you can do''. A statement about the way of things... NOT ADVICE. Very nihilistic.
I'd been in a dark place recently with both work and private life stresses and then rediscovered this track after years of not hearing it after looking for a new bassline to learn, the lyrics are as true now as the day they were written. if theres anyone else who reads this who has been struggling with life recently, you don't owe anyone else anything, look after yourself and just be yourself, peace... RIP Chris lad.
Audioslave got me through the difficult times in my life. Great lyrics, great voice and although we never met, I'm certain a great person. Thank you Chris. I hope you are also rockin' in the afterlife. You will always be remembered.
SPAPZ as u got away with difficult times .... i had my best time through his songs... it was a competitive emotion but now im left alone with no one to compete...
As a poet by his poems or a writer by his books, Chris will always be alive by his songs, as long as our emotions, be it hardship or prosperity, shall be intertwined with them. Wish you many better times while reminiscing the ones you already had thanks to Chris.
I know this man had drug problems but he was one of the most original singers I've ever heard. Growing up in the 90s. It's so original but no one can ever repeat this man's voice!
it was far beyond "drugs" or "drink" people love to think they "know" he was struggling with COPING wake the FUCK UP and stop blaming or accusing scuicide's with guilt and shame. Geez. Take a look within yourself. Stop projecting.
This song remind me Shawn Michaels when he had to retire in 2010. He lost his match at WrestleMania against the Undertaker and had to do a farewell speech at the following RAW. This song has been played numerous times during the show, as far as we were getting close to the speech ; Michaels getting the honor to close the show.
R.I.P. to Chris and Chester, the great ones are taken too young. Their music will live on forever, no matter what took place at the end of their lives. The passion they had for music that they shared with the world is what will stand the age of time, glad they shared the best of themselves with us in the world. No reason for suicide, but then again maybe they needed help and felt they couldn't find it Idk haven't any idea of what these 2 icons were dealing with no way that I'd judge them. I am but a fan who still loves their music, period.
3 months you just another fing hypocrite that thought he knew what soundgarden and Audioslave was about....you fuck, ive been there since Soundgarden was born
Audioslave and SOUNDGARDEN have a lot of lame songs.....but I must admit this is an outstanding song.....too bad he didn't write more quality songs like this
rebjiii Steve Perry and Robert Plant may have hit the high notes a touch easier, but across all ranges I have to give Chris . my vote for Hard Rock GOAT.....¡!!!!!!! and U know what it's not even CLOSE¡¡¡¡¡ !!!!!!! AND not enough good songs???.!!!!! Whaaatttt - R U Blind BIATCH OOOHHHHH¡!! , wait a minute I almost fell prey to a TROLLER, didn't I,.......go bother someone else you asswipe¡!!! I
R.I.P. Chris C. Miss hearing your voice...he was such a beautiful person despite depression...and between the voice, looks, eyes and Audioslave and Soundgarden you are truly missed...too soon for sure...But hey I got my list of people to see when I go and you are on there that will probably be the biggest concert of my life with all the artists in there hahaha, this was my first album I ever bought I'll never forget it, changed my life for rock for sure. 😂 ❤
"Don't lose any sleep tonight, im sure everything will end up alright" gets me EVERY TIME 😭 I hope so Chris...❤
People always talk about his singing ability, but his writing ability was just as amazing.

His voice, so powerful and vulnerable at the same time.... moving.
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
And be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide themself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears their true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
separate or united?
Healthy or insane?
And be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
Be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart
Or been held up
Every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do

Said goodbye to my beautiful mum yesterday and this was the last song we used as part of the service, mum loved to sing along to this and she was always herself.....thank you xxx
Bless you❤
Chris,
Thank you for helping me through a dark time in my life. Your lyrics meant the world to me. Rest easy bud.
Ok
Was listening to Audioslaves during the time I was getting off drugs and alcohol
His music played a huge role in my sobriety
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave...
The first song I ever listened from Audioslave way back in 2006. This is among one of the bands that really inspired me in the music scene I currently am. R. I. P. brother. 💔
Longmir Teron this song is breaking my heart tonight
He's the best
@@ImRefraction God bless you and your family 🕉️🪔🪷
Chris & Tom do their BEST work on this song and ''like a stone''. still the 2 best songs of the last 20 years.
This song has my crying right now. Rest in peace, Chris, I love you
Take It Easy - I'm Easily Offended im bawling my eyes out. why couldnt I truly listen to him earlier!
Knowing I didn't discover his music before he was gone is an ache I feel every time I hear him sing...but I'm so drawn to the beauty of it. RIP Chris Cornell. Just wish I had got to follow your music before you left.
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU CAN DO
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU CAN DO
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU CAN DO
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU CAN DO
Thank you for the words Chris. Rest easy...
i just cried :(

*Lyrics*
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?
To be yourself is all that you can do *x4*
*dope guitar solo*
And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do

Probably my favourite Audioslave song. His voice is incredible

Sadly it’s 2024 and all we have is shit music and bands. Utter crap. Foo fighters are the only decent band still remaining.
props to the comments. be yourself and like a stone are perfect songs IMHO
I listen to this song on repeat.
He gave me strenght with this song: BE YOUR SELF. I have been fighting againts depression and other diseases of my broken mind. I put my heart in God's hands and smile everyday feeling the fire of being my self. THANK YOU CORNELL ♥ Your voice is pure power and this song is gonna save a lot of boys and girls who need it like I did.
I found salvation in this song: REST IN PEACE CHRIS
Hada Durmiente I wish you lots of luck in your life :)

This song fills me with joy and pain at the same time Rest In Peace to the best lyricists that ever lived.
Whenever I’m feeling scared, insecure, and I feel like I’m gonna lose it; I always find myself coming back to this song for comfort. I feel like I’m gonna be alright after listening to it, and I start feeling lighter and breathing easier and my mind calms down. I love the sound, Chris Cornell is highly talented along with the rest of the band [R.I.P. Chris, and you are still loved and missed😢], and I love the meaning. I appreciate that this beautiful piece of art was created. Thank you.❤️
no lie !!!
His lyrics explore the darkness, but also give hope. That's important in hard rock.
@@atlaffordableguitarlessons8457 Totally! A lesson for life. Explore your darkest fantasies and give hope.
@@joergbarnasch6916 Yeah!
Yes when i got back from OIF i was sent to afghnistan my world changed i had to reset some shit toxic gf acted like i was in the bahamas or something- just doin my shit on my own now - being myself to chris
One of the greatest lyrical songs of our time. Unapologetically acknowledging to be you! Do not let the inner voice tear you down and accept that you are beautiful just as you are. Not to mention the amazing musical sound that Tom, Brad, and Tim developed. What a truly great band!
I spoke to some younger men around 21 years old. I told them some game Being yourself is all you can be. I live in downtown of a city and when I walk down, I get people shaking my hands, good interactions because I'm respected. I treat people with respect, even drug dealers, people that run gangs hug me. They respect someone that themselves. Integrity being honest is everything.
Definitely!
Can’t say it better than that!❤️
So beautifuly put, and so true!
Every time you feel broken, helpless and going trough heavy shit in life, come here, listen to chris and put on repeat as many times as needed. Sing , cry and scream this lyrics out , and im sure you will feel better after …
Thanks
you're goddamn right. that's how awesome rock music is and what it can do for people.
I agree but even though I listen to it I'm feeling like everything is too much and I feel Chris felt the same. Even though he wrote the words, the belief wasn't there. EVERYDAY is a struggle, but it's ok not to be ok...
I think part of the mental health struggle can be trying not to be yourself. You have to be you. That's the only way to live in reality. That doesn't mean you can't become a better version of you, though. Face those demons and come out the other side on top. It can be scary as shit, and you have to do the work, but it's so worth it.
MID 2024 year, "be your self is all that you can do" I believe this to be a very powerful message and personal advise from our friend Chris.
Amazing song. Roughest part of my life the last 2 years. This song helps me make it through some days. Thank you Chris!! Be yourself is all you can do!!
Same bro, especially early 2022. Listening to this song makes me cry sometimes because I used to listen to this when I was in the worst time in my life. Looking back at it I see how far I’ve come, just makes me feel at peace with myself, and this song reminds me of it.
Same. The past few years have been very unkind to me but I intend to make my future a bright place.
Respect lies on the other side of fear.
You must overcome this.
Or else you’ll live your life as a coward for your entire human existence.
Mine too man, stay strong an reach out if you want :). Much love
Floooooooooooooooa

Someone falls to pieces sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain

She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

Yeah and to be yourself is all that you can do
Hey, to be yourself is all that you can do
[Verse 2]
Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time, another runs away
Separate or united, healthy or insane

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
[Chorus 1]
But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
[Chorus 2]
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Audioslave was so underrated. They were a modern day supergroup.
soundgarden was underrated too :/
@@Appo4 what year were you born to say that? They were huge
Temple of the dog was some of chris best work
It is a music us alternatives listen. Indigo people. Common people at all are the same, plastic as today is. In the routine. Dont bother yourself. Fuck all. I stopped to give a shit to empty monads.
Underrated? Do you know what you're saying? They're not underrated you coward! You're just don't listen to them often.
A legend has gone. RIP
I dont care, 90s and 2000s were the best era for music.
Masterpiece. Everytime I'm overthinking and judging myself I listen to this song and feel better.

beechfuzz very well said... this song got me through a very dark and scary time in my life... sometimes I really do think that everyone is put here for a reason. And when they have served their purpose they have to move on. I don't know?✨✨✨
so well said beechfuzz. I can say no more.
While someone was having the best day of their life, Chris had his worst.. Just like the song says.
RIP brother. We all miss you.
Captain Bligh damn, that is the truth
Omg.... *has emotional breakdown*
The absolute peak of rock music.
This song and many other of Chris' songs have helped me so much with my mental health throughout the years. Depression and substance abuse is a hard suffering to be dealt with and overcome. I remember listening to this song for the first time when I started getting into bands like Audioslave and Soundgarden (I was born in 2006 so it wasn't until Chris' tragic passing when I was 12 or 13 when I started to get into rock and just music in general and develop an understanding and appreciation for great musicians like Chris.) Anyways, when I first heard this song, once I heard the first verse I just felt an immediate deep connection to what he was saying. I felt like I finally discovered a musician that saw with the same eyes as me. The way Chris was able to portray his emotions and the way he views the world and create imagery within his music is something that can never be done the same again. I will forever be grateful for the inspiration and comfort that I derived from his music.
beautifully said Tommy
I couldn't agree more. His music has honestly changed my life as stupid as that may sound. Such deep meanings and lessons in his music I can't help but truly feel his pain, like wow he had a way of expressing his depression and pain, like no other artist I've come across.
For a 16 year-old, you are wise and smart way beyond your years Tommy.
I just want you to know that as you see the inspiration in Chris, you too have the same un-replicatable qualities as he did and that same heart and spirit lives-on inside you buddy.
Keep strong Tommy and always remember that there may be a hundered million of them, but only one of you.
We all believe in you matey! ❤️

Gracias Cris y audioslave por haber creado musica tan maravillosa como esta. A la vez es muy triste saber que perdiste la batalla de la depresion y la ansiedad. Esta enfermedad mental es tan horrible y mortal que solo las personas que la padecemos podemos entender a otros que tambien tienen este transtorno, animo no se den por vencidos, yo en ciertas ocaciones tengo recaidas, tengo pensamientos suicidas, pero se que hay cosas muy importantes en esta historia que se llama vida.
¡Fuerza, Santi ! Todo pasa, cuándo té sientas que todo va mal 😔, abrí la ventana y la puerta, dejá que él sol té cargue de energía y pensa en todos los que estamos pidiendo al "Creador"de todo por vos.

Whenever I feel low, Chris's word "Be Yourself is All That You Can Do" gives me strength. Because even if you are in either spectrum of life, good or bad, Be Yourself is all that You Can Do.
Alguém mais além de mim, assistindo esse clássico do Audislave❤❤❤❤...
Chris, you'll be missed. Beautiful voice with a beautiful heart. I remember hearing Be yourself at 6th grade and instantly making it the anthem for life. Thanks for everything Chris, typing with a heavy heart, Rest in Peace.

"Don't lose any sleep tonight. I'm sure everything will end up alright. You may win or lose."

You can see in not only his movements but his expressions, his discomfort.
He gave us this, as pure as a testament was ever told.
As he says in the lyrics, somewhere someone finds salvation, someone else just pain! So real visionary Chris Cornell! If he were among us, I'm sure of the beautiful post-pandemic compositions he would do.
This kind of music helped me in my adolescence to go forward no matter the difficulties..
I am 24 years old now and I will be grateful for my whole life. I say all this with tears in my eyes, rest in peace a great artist, rest in peace Chriss.

растрогало с твоего сообщения, полностью с тобой согласен
@@nicolapole9491 It's more than encouraged, it's inevitable. Indeed, to be ourselves is all that we can do. That our "Self" is defined in relation to the "Self" of others, with time, complexity, and causality creating the unique human that we all are, built from the little pieces of others we meet along the way...at least that's what I've gathered so far in my 35 years...
See my comment.
man were on the same age and I agree to that theres no more music like this is coming the genre have died
Probably the most iconic and versatile rock voice there's been. And to think we were lucky enough to be on this flying rock at the same time as Chris. RIP CC.

El tio Voldy Mira mi foto de perfil :^)
man, I miss having this man here.
Chris Cornell passed before I got into Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple Of The Dog, and his solo career. Now looking back I realize how much of an amazing soul he was
Same. I didn't even know who he was until last year.
then it lives on...
Same here. I had seen him in interviews but wasn't intrigued. Talented man.
Chris Cornell was not only a great singer, musician, composer and lyricist he was also the frontman of 2 of the greatest bands ever Soundgarden and Audioslave (and also Temple of the dogs and great solo carreer). Our attempt to pay a tribute to my personal favourite singer with our version of "Be Yourself" here : th-cam.com/video/QaJaYXfIdrY/w-d-xo.html
Yes he was thank you, For still listening to his message and for caring
Chris is one of the best singers to ever walk the earth rest in peace
I've been miserable for such a long time. I miss waking up and being excited to experience life. It's not an isolated situation, i know you are all out there. Depression can suck you very deep, and if you don't reach out then you are doing yourself an injustice. Don't let the madman in your mind dictate your life. I love you all!
"Within lies a sanctuary, one so sacred only Truth may dwell. It is there you will find the light you seek." - Dale R. Mahaffey

dont take this wrong, but depression is an illusion,....the world has too much to show you..to offer you...just take a ride along the coast....thru a mountain road...experiance an outdoor concert...strike up a conversation with a stranger....volunteer with special needs kids....dont buy into this "depression"...it has hurt alot of good folks....and no, medication is not neccessary ....unless its 4:20....(pardon my spelling)

Have you ever heard of "Warrick Dunn" Warrick suffered from depression during his football career. Warrick Dunn did some incredible things, he built over 32 homes for single mothers and did lots of community work. That's a fine human being, yet he still faced the daily struggle with depression. I agree with a lot of your statement, I think natural highs can be 1 of the best medicines to overcome "bland/rough spots" in 1s life. Good luck to you
In this moment of my life, when I'm not even sure who the hell I am, this songs hits really hard, but help a lot as well. Thanks for these songs Chris. You won't be forgotten

What a voice - heard this song on a show I was watching. So much feeling and a beautiful voice. RIP
"Just Be Yourself"
R.I.P. Chris Cornell
Nah man, he's not giving advice... He's telling the truth. He's not saying if you ''Just Be Yourself'' everything will be ok. He's saying you cant do anything BUT ''Be yourself''. It's an argument against the existence of free will. Something i found that almost everybody missed in this song, it's not a happy song, its a dark one, just like most of his music.
Ohhh and i forgot 1 thing....... ''You may win or lose, but to be yourself is all that you can do''. A statement about the way of things... NOT ADVICE. Very nihilistic.
I'd been in a dark place recently with both work and private life stresses and then rediscovered this track after years of not hearing it after looking for a new bassline to learn, the lyrics are as true now as the day they were written. if theres anyone else who reads this who has been struggling with life recently, you don't owe anyone else anything, look after yourself and just be yourself, peace... RIP Chris lad.
Best wishes Chris! 👊🏼🔥
best wishes to you, we all go through dark times i hope you handle it well it will be alright soon.
thank you for your words
Same as you...
Thanks for the true words
literally the 2000's, who would thought we'd miss those days...miss you c.Cornell
Audioslave got me through the difficult times in my life. Great lyrics, great voice and although we never met, I'm certain a great person. Thank you Chris. I hope you are also rockin' in the afterlife. You will always be remembered.
can't forget sound garden
SPAPZ as u got away with difficult times .... i had my best time through his songs... it was a competitive emotion but now im left alone with no one to compete...
As a poet by his poems or a writer by his books, Chris will always be alive by his songs, as long as our emotions, be it hardship or prosperity, shall be intertwined with them. Wish you many better times while reminiscing the ones you already had thanks to Chris.
Some sounds you just can't forget.
SPAPZ he'll always be alive in his songs now that he handed me down all that he had wronged
I know this man had drug problems but he was one of the most original singers I've ever heard. Growing up in the 90s. It's so original but no one can ever repeat this man's voice!
I don’t condone drug usage but usually the better artists are the ones that struggled with it
Mental Illness is what killed him
@@disgruntledvet13 well yeah but drugs definitely pushed it that far.
The first soundgarden song I ever heard was Black Rain. The power of his voice absolutely blew me away
it was far beyond "drugs" or "drink" people love to think they "know" he was struggling with COPING wake the FUCK UP and stop blaming or accusing scuicide's with guilt and shame. Geez. Take a look within yourself. Stop projecting.
One of the best songs of all time. The lyrics, this riff, the feelings, all of that. Just be yourself, my friends.
Thanks Chris, Tim, Brad & Tom ❤
This song remind me Shawn Michaels when he had to retire in 2010. He lost his match at WrestleMania against the Undertaker and had to do a farewell speech at the following RAW. This song has been played numerous times during the show, as far as we were getting close to the speech ; Michaels getting the honor to close the show.
I remember that. Also remember it being Ashley Massaro’s theme song after winning the diva search in 2005
Never gets old. Rest in peace Chris. What a loss to the music.
R.I.P. to Chris and Chester, the great ones are taken too young. Their music will live on forever, no matter what took place at the end of their lives. The passion they had for music that they shared with the world is what will stand the age of time, glad they shared the best of themselves with us in the world. No reason for suicide, but then again maybe they needed help and felt they couldn't find it Idk haven't any idea of what these 2 icons were dealing with no way that I'd judge them. I am but a fan who still loves their music, period.
True. Agreed

Miss hearing your voice...he was such a beautiful person despite depression...and between the voice, looks, eyes and Audioslave and Soundgarden you are truly missed...too soon for sure...But hey I got my list of people to see when I go and you are on there that will probably be the biggest concert of my life with all the artists in there hahaha, this was my first album I ever bought I'll never forget it, changed my life for rock for sure. 😂 ❤
