I learned about Chris Cornell the first time I viewed the ending credits to the film The Promise. His song The Promise I found hauntingly beautiful nd was pleased to find it on YT.
One day if I am gifted with grandchildren, I will sit them down from a young age and play them Chris Cornell music and teach them what music and legends really are! Chris Cornell you will live for ever!!
Joel Swensen first timer here too. glad i stumbled on this video. anyone else need tissues? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 sick to my heart when i heard of his passing. just bleh. waiting for more details on what happened though! not sure i want to or can believe after all he went through, that this was going to be how he left the world. praying it was an accidental overdose (though that's no consolation) at least some closure can be found there....
Damn it - he has brought tears to my eyes again - Chris stays involved in the real world with real heart - and with an unreal voice and presence. I am blessed to live in this generation.
I sing Chris in keyoji I cry out for him ...i light candles.. for you.. I want die are you waiting like a stone for me. I'm in so much pain PAIN PAIN ...PAIN
Every once in a lifetime someone with a sense of greatness touches the world and every soul in it and forever changes life as it was known.. Chris Cornell is that someone.. and precious Lilly I hope you take up the torch where your father left off.. I truly believe the Heavens and Earth stopped when you performed BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE.. peace love and light to the Cornell family..🎼❤️
If I had nothing to my name But photographs of you Rescued from the flames That is all I would ever need As long as I can read What's written on your face The strength that shines Behind your eyes The hope and light That will never die And one promise you made One promise that always remains No matter the price A promise to survive Persevere and thrive As we've always done And you said The poison in a kiss Is the lie upon the lips True words were never shared When I feel like lies are all I hear I pull my memories near The one thing they can't take And one promise you made One promise that always remains No matter the price A promise to survive Persevere and thrive As we've always done The books still open on the table The bells still ringing in the air The dreams still clinging to the pillow The songs still singing in a prayer Now my soul is stretching through the roots To memories of you Back through time and space To carry home the faces and the names And photographs of you Rescued from the flames And one promise you made One promise that always remains No matter the price A promise to survive Persevere and thrive And dare to rise once more A promise to survive Persevere and thrive And fill the world with life As you've always done R.I.P. Chris Cornell
The book now closed, the bells stopped ringing, only dreams remain of you we are clinging, for only songs of yours will remain singing. Thank you for your music. RIP Chris Cornell.
Not a good day, sun shines less , birds forget to sing , crowds move silent in the streets, dust settles on stones we can no longer see......RIP Mr.Cornell
No one should be that attractive and sing so well. It's unfair to the rest of us. I am grateful to have received in my life the gift that is Chris Cornell. With his words, music, and by just being himself, he's done more for me than he'll ever know.
James Byrd Although Chris wasn't a close friend of mine I'm going through the stages of grief. your words helped me realize the benefit of his life instead of feeling angry at him. it's hard to rap your head around such a lose.😖
Scott Macleod it's not uncommon to feel a loss even with someone you didn't know physically. Chris shared some of his most personal and intimate feelings through his music, and i think the loss we feel is just as valid as those who were close to him. We obviously know there is a difference, but we were privy to his struggles and his accomplishments; many of us from the start of his career, right until his untimely and shocking passing. And for many of us, Chris was a light in the darkest of days..... However chris helped or touched your life, that is the reason you feel the loss.... and that is real, and valid. In our grief comes strength though... May his words and music continue to help you and others today, tomorrow, and forever. That is our gift to him!!!
I hope our dear Chris win an posthumous Oscar for "best song". Beautiful testament for a legendary artist, gone too soon. #OSCARFORCHRIS. R.I.P my brother.
I still wonder HOW does Chris manage to reach in so deep into the shadowy existence of feelings, only those who suffered could feel!? Than he pulls out the gut of it and sings it with such beauty. His soul is channeling the pure existence.
Basia G Pllleeease persevere... Fear not... Fill the world with cheer, and be grateful you're still here. It is time to shine our lights, more than ever. #LoudLove! #HigherTruth
Such a beautiful ballad.❤ Listening to him singing to this heartfelt song which ((imho)), sounds like an Eric Clapton song.❤Chris put ''ALL," of his heart and soul, into this song (imho), [in hopes of saving missing, exploited and trafficked children].😢 Chris was in the process of shining light upon [[and ending]], the exploitation of traff1cked children, by establishing "The Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation," JUST BEFORE HIS LIFE WAS ENDED.😢😢😢 His cell phone (his phone that was with him, in his room the night his life was ended), is '""STILL,""" missing to this day.💔😢R.I.P., Chris.❤ Many people who've investigated his death, know the same truth I know. QUESTION EVERYTHING. Chris, Chester and Avicii, ALL died after speaking out against(((and making music videos exposing))), child exploitation//child trafficking. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Just discovered Chris Cornell after watching The Movie. The Promise. So hauntingly beautiful it filled my heart with pure love. Perfectly matched the Movie. Why did i not hear of him till now 2024. I waited to the end of the credits to see where this voice from Heaven came from 🙏❤
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Chris for being a part of our story in telling it with the power and grace of your voice. As a grand-daughter of a survivor I grew up hearing my grand parents stories of survival. My grandfather after returning from a hunting trip found his wife and two daughters murdered. He picked up his rifle and became a rebel fighter for a number of years, helping women, children and men escape. This just one of many stories from my family.
March 5 1992 paramount theater bad motor finger show , you saved my life Chris and I will always be grateful for your voice and your music may you rest in peace my friend.
The first time I visited this video and song and I pray for Chris Cornell. Of all musical artist's to 'me', his passing continues to hurt as the most, to me. I hurt for Chris, his wife, his children and all those friends... I must stop typing now.......
This man was just plain GREAT in every way.... Musically he was a genius, is voice hipnotizing, sultry and just plain PERFECT. I fell in love with his voice with Soundgarden and have loved and followed his career since. I am 66 yrs old tomorrow, an old hippie, but, love the era the music came out in and i have cried all day today off and on.... I feel like i lost a son or a relative...He is just awe inspiring. I will miss you and miss you for a long time. RIP baby...
Thank You Mr. Cornel for this AMAZING song !!! Just have no words to explain what I'm feeling now... That's incredible !!! #KeepThePromise #ProudOfChrisCornell
I discovered Chris's music only recently.. He never knew about my existence and before a couple of days, I never knew such an artiste lived here! And now, an insignificant mortal like me in some corner of the world who happened to discover this genius a couple of days before, is crying listening to his songs... The power, the truth, of real ingenious music..
I have always had the utmost respect for Chris Cornell's spirit, talent and "The Promise" is uplifting and soul searching to me. With thanks to God whom gifted you, Chris, Always persevere no matter what comes our way! Thank you for writing such a touching song. ♥♥♥♥
My heart breaks at the thought that you are gone. That this is true. That you felt so alone compelled to leave us like that. Your voice was (and will always be in all recordings of your music) so magnificent. I always sensed sweetness and tenderness in you. Rest In Peace. Hope that wherever you are now, you know you were (and are forever) truly loved and admired. God Bless!
This silenced voice is breaking my heart. “Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding.” ― Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It
No. No... It's just so surreal that he's gone after persevering through so much and having so many talented people die around him.....thoughts and prayers for his friends/family.....
RIP Chris Cornell we are going to miss you and your voice, and from the bottom of my heart I thank you for the beautiful song and lyrics, The Promise, God bless you.
We're gonna miss you, Chris. I hope you're with Layne, Kurt, and Andrew in heaven now. One day you, Vedder, and the others will be together. Keep on playing in the garden, Chris. We'll always remember you.
no one can write a tune about war or a conflict and light its way into the existence of that unique pain that war leaves inside of us, pain that is guarded so well for decades...old Gepetto made my heart a marionette that can dance into the past only by using his guitar strings..
R.I.P Chris Cornell.. Makes you wonder how a man who sung such beautiful lyrics could take his own life... A beautiful voice taken from this Earth. A childhood legend lost to the dust. I love you Chris. Thank you for everything and for all the wonderful music that kept us going through the dark times. 1964-2017
no one sings like you anymore...
He is not dead, a genius artist never dies.
They live on through their music.
they live in our soul, in our heart.....rip Chris
Absolutely!!! And he is a Legendary artist.
Rest in peace beautiful songbird
Stanislas Lefort
very true👑 ever and ever
It's true
R.I.P. Chris. One of the greatest and truest vocalists in rock history.
No doubt.
ti correggo , il migliore no uno dei migliori
If Jesus was a singer... but now he will be ❤ love Chris got & still rough times and still ALWAYS does ❤🎉❤
GOODBYE FOREVER CHRIS. The best singer in the history of the rock...

R.I.P CHRIS CORNELL :( :(
You will always be in our hearts
I am so messed up today. First time hearing this song it is rather wonderful.
Sad ending man.
We need happy endings people, not this.
Joel Swensen first timer here too. glad i stumbled on this video. anyone else need tissues? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

idk man, just give his family some room, fuck we're a bunch of fcking strangers lol, trying to invade his privacy, even after he dies
"Closure is for banks." Linda Cornell.
Damn it - he has brought tears to my eyes again - Chris stays involved in the real world with real heart - and with an unreal voice and presence. I am blessed to live in this generation.

Love your powerful voice.....forever
?????????
If I had nothing to my name
But photographs of you
Rescued from the flames
That is all I would ever need
As long as I can read
What's written on your face
The strength that shines
Behind your eyes
The hope and light
That will never die
And one promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
As we've always done
And you said
The poison in a kiss
Is the lie upon the lips
True words were never shared
When I feel like lies are all I hear
I pull my memories near
The one thing they can't take
And one promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
As we've always done
The books still open on the table
The bells still ringing in the air
The dreams still clinging to the pillow
The songs still singing in a prayer
Now my soul is stretching through the roots
To memories of you
Back through time and space
To carry home the faces and the names
And photographs of you
Rescued from the flames
And one promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
And dare to rise once more
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
And fill the world with life
As you've always done
R.I.P. Chris Cornell
wOw... R.I.P. master Chris Cornell #GodBlessYou
Thank you ❤
The book now closed, the bells stopped ringing, only dreams remain of you we are clinging, for only songs of yours will remain singing.
