Great song writing from Chris Cornell, which was an often underrated aspect of what he brought to the table. Also, this song was written for the "Singles" (1992) soundtrack. It's a movie that really captures the generation. #RIPChrisCornell ✨🙏🤘
This has been my favorite Chris Cornell song for a while. It reminds me of the difficulties I'll have to push through in life in order to reach fulfillment: the cold floor, the long warm days, and the stormy rain, and how beautiful it all is. Despite all the pain, still that guitar just keeps chugging along through it all, just as our ancestors have and just as I will. I'd play this song every morning, driving to the construction site through the fog before the sun is up, knowing of the toil that awaits me. Hardly anyone reacts to this song (and not many people know about it either), so I'm really glad you two reacted to it, it put a smile on my face. And hopefully some more people have now been shown this amazing price of art for the first time.
you should definitely check out SunShower by chris. So many solo songs of his that are just iconic. RIP to one of the greatest voices of a generation...
@@raymo6795 I was so disappointed in him when he passed because I thought we had made it through the bad times. It took me 2 years to properly mourn him. In retrospect pretty selfish of me to think he owed me anything because he was "one of the last ones" or whatever I told myself.
@@bothellkenmore I suppose he lived longer than many of his contemporaries.But, I know that is little consolation.I miss him too, he had more to offer…he was about my age. Once drugs get a grip on you, they haunt you forever. Even when you think you have them beaten. Chris was strong, just not quite strong enough. May he Rest In Peace AppleMac
One of my favorite songs of all time. Also found it on the Singles movie soundtrack. You know another great GenX, Alt-Rock/Grunge movie soundtrack to check out was The Crow..
Do people honestly think Singles was a good movie? I really don't get it. It's a false portrayal of Seattle in 1992-if you want a more realistic portrait of the Emerald City of 30 some years ago, watch American Heart with Jeff Bridges and Edward Furlong.
@@danielmaher7108 Who cares if the movie itself isn't very good, the soundtrack is one of the best of all time. With many songs only available on the soundtrack. Classic.
@@danielmaher7108 I think the only reason people like Singles so much is because of the music. It also has appearances by Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden. People eat that up
It makes me sad when I realize how sad he actually was. I don't think some of us are able to pull ourselves out of that dark place and are usually the same people who would help anyone with their darkness but not ask for help with our own. RIP to an amazing soul who didn't realize he was. His was/is one of my fav voices EVER.🥺
when I listen to Chris' lyrics now after he took his life, it has dawned on me that he had been writing his suicide note for years and years. this is just another example. he suffered with depression for so long. I hope he has found peace now, wherever he is.
this super handsome multimillionare rock star with a lovely wife and family that could do whatever he wanted decided to cash out. That makes me sad. Them Benzos aight no good.
@@joesmith8725 Stop talking out of your ass about someone else’s pain. How bad do you imagine it must’ve been for him. To have a wonderful life, tons of money & a job you’re great at & loved by millions for doing. And you still want to die. Think about that, man.
thank god we still have the music to remind us of what a tremendous artist/singer this man was. have loved this song since i first saw the movie Singles and went straight out and bought the movie soundtrack cd
Chris Cornell is one of the very few singers who could belt with the loudest of rock singers, but also charm an audience with just his acoustic, a great ballad singer as well. Ironically, this song is from the SINGLES soundtrack. The movie was recorded several months before the Seattle grunge started booming. Chris has small bit part and the guys who are part of the Matt Dillon characters band in the movie, were Pearl Jam. When this movie was made, both were just local musicians no one had heard of.
I like you guys so much I was crushed when he was gone I’ve seen Chris Cornell solo many times and SOUNDGARDEN so many times totaling 18 times I always felt that nobody gets it. I like that You guys explore these songs Excuse me for sounding weird, but I’m glad somebody else gets it Anyways keep looking 👍🏼
Chris' best solo song is "Sunshower" it has a great melody. The music is great. The lyrics are beautiful, memorable, and have meaning. Listen to that one. I'm sure you'll agree.
"Ol' Blind dog Cornell" is what I think of whenever I hear this, I love it. I also think of seeing it when I watched "Man of Steel". Chris shared a similar story how his son came home after seing the movie and telling his dad he was in the film.
Sun shower is a beautiful song….. it’s helped me through some really dark times. One of his most uplifting songs . I’ve seen him with sound garden and his solo show. He is my idol
This is another of his good ones. Birth Ritual is a good Soundgarden song from this 'Singles' soundtrack. I never succeed, but I keep trying to get just one 'Reactor' to react to Chloe Dancer/ Crown of Thorns by Mother Love Bone. MLB was the band the Seattle bands thought would open the door for the world to see the rest of them. The door still opened, even though Andy Wood died before their first and only album was released.
Y'all should try sampling the song he sings in with the 1 of a few bands Chris Cornell fronted from the group Temple Of The Dog. Song is named "Say Hello To Heaven" studio version... His vocal range is lit 🔥!
I love that Brad got this and was the first to give a great explanation. I love the lyrics in the bridge: “If I should be short on words, and long on things to say” You just hurt so much you can’t even begin to explain it all. I feel this way every time my chronic pain gets the better of me and I can’t get it under control.
Back in the 90s again watching Singles with Alice in Chains playing in the background at the clubs they go to and Eddie Vedder making a cameo in Matt Dillon's band.
Thank you so much for this,Rick Beato played this song live on his channel the day after he died as a tribute to him, I miss you so much Chris, and I don't think that you killed yourself,RIP Brother 🎸🌹
I still have a hard time dealing with him being gone and listening to him without getting all choked up. As others have said here "Sunshower" is another beautiful song by him.
Great song and great reaction. Lex, you really seemed to be feeling this one--you have an intuitive relationship with music. And props to Brad, for referencing the "Dark Night of the Soul" of St. John of the Cross.
Read genius lyrics...it's all there, the lyrics and a quote saying it was written at a time when Seattle was moving so fast and he just wanted it to slow down...
I think you guys should check out some more Temple of the Dog material. It is what really turned me on to Chris Cornell as a songwriter. It's hard to think of one song to suggest, but maybe Wooden Jesus?
That was badass!This is the first time I've heard this piece that I remember...I've seen him once live on his first solo tour. It was awesome...if he did this that night, I just don't remember it. It was so long ago. I can here the Jimmy Page influence so strong in this! So cool! R.I.P. Chris 🙏🏼
Thank you for that treasure. You should check out Sunshower, another precious song. If you like this also listen to Mad Season - River of Deceit with Layne Stayle.

I first heard this song in the movie "Man of Steel" and was like...is that Chris Cornell? Love this song.
Singles sound track is one of the best sound tracks of the 90s, also has one of the best pumpkins song ever made (drown)
Underrated movie as well. Almost Famous gets all the attention but Singles should be right up there.
This song is unreal. Truly transcends this world. Its art in its purest form
One of the most iconic voices in Rock History.....
Facts
Only for a select group of fans who came of age during his brief career…
@@vrvaughn "brief career" 🤣 yeah 40 years of iconic music is a real short career lmao.
@@vrvaughn Your ignorance is palpable, and telling of your musical taste. 👎

“Winter isn’t permanent, but it can be if you give up” is especially poignant given his tragic end.
Great reaction as always though guys.
you should definitely check out SunShower by chris. So many solo songs of his that are just iconic. RIP to one of the greatest voices of a generation...
...really bums me out that guy, my age, that had it all, with more to offer, crashed and burned .Rest in peace Chris Cornell
Definitely, their is a great lyric video for the song that I've watched a hundred times and have shared it many times.
@@raymo6795 He didn't do it,he was speaking out about the human trafficking problem and someone made it look like he hung himself.

'Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart' is now a must...

This is true talent: A couple of guitars, a voice, and a whole world, a soundscape is created!
One of only two times I ever actually got depressed when a "rockstar" passed away. RIP Chris. Miss your energy dude.
Did you know him?
@@megancaliup7070 You've left a smart ass remark on nearly every positive comment. Are you a bot, a troll, or just an a-hole?

this song hits so hard. he was everybody's big brother.
He definitely was not. Lol
Literally perfect
A reaction after 3 minutes?😂 I understand he left you speechless. Love it ❤ I've looped this song for weeks
That man was the GOAT
Now I am. Hosanna.
Chris owned an amazing voice.
goosebumps....everytime.....today....tears

Absolutely LOVE that song!
Check out Disappearing Act as well, that song is amazing
@@themaczter9024 Yes...another great Cornell song.
@@themaczter9024 I take Disappearing One. Well, pretty much all of Euphoria Morning I prefer over most everything else he did.
"Ol' Blind dog Cornell" is what I think of whenever I hear this, I love it.

I absolutely love LOVE this song so much ♥️🎶🎤🎼♥️ Hit more from his solo career ♥️
one of the best songs ever written..it opens different timelines
out of all the Cornell tracks I love, this one is my favorite.
So many great memories for me, this was my time, listening to Layne, Chris, and Kurt and now when I wake up they’re all gone.
Gotta check out Chris doing "Sunshower"....my favorite from his acoustic stuff. A beautiful song!!
1 of the top 3 voices ALL TIME in rock.
Old enough to remember when I saw this movie in the theater - Singles. I still remember the excitement of picking up that soundtrack.
Same. I was smitten with Winona at the time, lol.
"The Day I Tried to Live".
he is a sweet angel
Such an incredible talent and song. This could fit right into Zeppelin’s catalogue.
Sun shower is a beautiful song….. it’s helped me through some really dark times. One of his most uplifting songs . I’ve seen him with sound garden and his solo show. He is my idol
Saw Chris perform this acoustic at the Moore theater in Seattle. Simply amazing!
Great song!
One of the most unique voices in Rock and Roll history.
One of the defining songs of the era. Masterpiece.
Love watching Lex going thru the feelings in the song, it's awesome. Nice reaction guys
I love how Brad was gonna pause but heard the killer riff in the middle and let it run a few more seconds. My man.
I love how Brad actually got this one right away lol 😆
Sadly missed still to this day💔💔
This is one of my favourite songs, never get tired of listening to it.
Im so glad you guys checked out this song. Its one of my all time favorites and often gets overlooked by reactors. Love your guys reactions ❤
Chris Cornell...beautiful voice, beautiful performer and beautiful soul. We miss you. ❤
Very perceptive interpretation, Brad. We do all have winter periods in our lives.
Chris Cornell live, acoustic in Sweden. Beautiful!
This is my favorite Chris Cornell song.
Beautiful
Wish you had picked up on the fact that it’s just acoustic guitar and vocals.
No bass, drums or other bells and whistles… simply Gorgeous!
First heard this song in Man of steel. Great song
same!
This is another of his good ones. Birth Ritual is a good Soundgarden song from this 'Singles' soundtrack.

That song is sooo beautiful. I don't remember if they've done a video on that one but if not I hope they do!
Don’t.
One of the greatest voice in music history period. Chris is missed.
For sure check out Sunshower! 😉
I love that Brad got this and was the first to give a great explanation.
I love the lyrics in the bridge:
“If I should be short on words, and long on things to say”
You just hurt so much you can’t even begin to explain it all. I feel this way every time my chronic pain gets the better of me and I can’t get it under control.
This one got the both of you, it was all over your faces lol
An absolute gem.

I miss Chris Cornell....R.I.P Brother!!
So stoked you guys like this track! SAY HELLO TO HEAVEN Temple of the Dog will blow your minds...🤯
Why are you trying to push your agenda, Michael?!
Chris and Axl two of the best rock voices ever. Axl has six or seven octaves. Chris has that pure soul & tear jerking voice 🙏 Peace
This is the best (IMO) song Chris ever did.
This is one of my all time FAVORITE songs. Oh Chris😪
A great song. A beautiful song. Definitely in my top 10 of CC songs to listen to.
One of my favorite songs. Love it.
Miss Him So Much… 💔🎸🎤🎼
Beautiful song.
Great song and great reaction. Lex, you really seemed to be feeling this one--you have an intuitive relationship with music. And props to Brad, for referencing the "Dark Night of the Soul" of St. John of the Cross.
I'm still hoping you'll do some Morphine one day...the band, obviously :p
Read genius lyrics...it's all there, the lyrics and a quote saying it was written at a time when Seattle was moving so fast and he just wanted it to slow down...
RIP Chris. Great song to react to.
This song is haunting
Can't wait to watch this reaction when I have time tomorrow. You can't go wrong with his solo work.
RIP Chris.
Glad yall finally got around to this one times of trouble off the temple of the dog album is a must
thank you for reacting to this!!
Brilliant song!
I loved Temple of the Dog
Would be interested to see a vid of, Lex in particularly, of how she rates the top 4 grunge acts based on what she's heard so far
Try his cover version of Thank You by led zeppelin on the Howard Stern show 🎸
Try his song When I'm Down live at the Troubadour.
My god, Brad 'got' a song! 😄
I think you guys should check out some more Temple of the Dog material. It is what really turned me on to Chris Cornell as a songwriter. It's hard to think of one song to suggest, but maybe Wooden Jesus?
It's got to be Call Me A Dog
This song is about how you feel going through depression.
That was badass!This is the first time I've heard this piece that I remember...I've seen him once live on his first solo tour. It was awesome...if he did this that night, I just don't remember it. It was so long ago. I can here the Jimmy Page influence so strong in this! So cool! R.I.P. Chris 🙏🏼

Dude, you have always searched for the truth inside these songs. 💯💥
Hmmm this one’s so personal for me too
It’s a frosted stronger than cold flower👍🏼
Awesome shirt, Lex! ❤️
The look on Brad's face says it all....
such a beautiful song. there’s a maroon 5 cover you should check out sometime that’s actually very good
