It's incredible (and heartbreaking) when you finally realize that he wasn't writing dark, melancholic lyrics for lack of better things to say - we were reading a cryptic diary that spanned decades. The greatest voice of our generation, & a singer/songwriter for the ages. RIP CC
"A poet is an unhappy being whose heart it torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: Sing for us soon again; that is as much as to say. May new sufferings torment your soul. " ~~ Søren Kierkegaard RIP Chris Cornell
At least once a week, I fall into a u-tube hole of live Chris performances. it gets me through the bs. It f..king sucks he's gone. but that voice and his music, will forever be alive and well in my soul. RIP man.
This is almost excruciating to watch, knowing his voice is gone. He has an almost supernatural gift for pitch and control- it eats me alive every time I watch old clips. The loss will never go away.
The more Chris was stripped down the better he was because his talent was just so raw and unmistakeable. Just hits you right in the face. I found Soundgarden at age age 12 in 1991 and it took me a few more decades to realize he was a once in a lifetime musician. I was spoiled.
This is my favorite rendition of this song as well. I grew up devoted to Hip Hop, but always liked Soundgarden (Temple of the Dog/Audiodlave) a lot. Around 2021, I fell into Chris Cornell again and realized how fond of his music I actually am. I carry such a deep regret for never having seen him play live.
Chris was awsome in all those bands and in solo. Both bands were 2 of my favourites bands of alltime. They had great names (and it's rare) with significant and simple meaning (thanks to Chris) and amazing songs that sounded like no one else. I would love your input on our last video from our first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : th-cam.com/video/i1fVRW6z3n4/w-d-xo.html and Happy new year
MrTendrils Every day ... that’s for damn sure ... I’ll never fully comprehend ... this man truly had it all ... depression (and possibly mismanaged psychoactive medication) ended up being terminal. No judgment Chris, I don’t know your pain, I just miss you for so many selfish reasons 😔
Nothing seem to kill me no matter how hard I try Nothing is closing my eyes Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight And nothing seems to break me No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all Not one for giving up though not invincible I know I've givin' everything I need I'd give you everything I own I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone I've given everything I could To blow it to hell and gone Burrow down and Blow up the outside world Someone tried to tell me something Don't let the world bring you down Nothing will do me in before I do myself So save it for your own and the ones you can help Want to make it understood Wanting though I never would Trying though I know it's wrong Blowing it to hell and gone Wishing though I never could Blow up the upside world
I finally understood why you left, Chris. You do no know me, but I enjoyed your presence through media. Thank you for your existence. May our souls find their inner peace in heaven if we did not got the chance to find it here.
I think the most amazing thing about this performance is at the end of the song he just says a grateful thank you.. not realizing that to all of us that this performance just changed our day, life, and future .. listening to this performance has become a daily routine to me , so I can hear and see the man that changed the way I listen to music , forever.. thank you Chris you changed more lives than you’ll ever know..
Chris will always be with us as long as we keep listening to his otherworldly lyricism and voice. He was and will always be my favorite artist and I've cried every time I've watched or listened to his videos on TH-cam every weekend, since his passing. I've no more tears left to cry. I only wish that I wasn't so naive and selfish my youth, thinking he was solely singing about and relating to MY pain. His hurt was so profound, it was far to easy to relate to. It's like Josh Homme sang; "I'll make a mountain of a molehill, if the molehill is mine." If you introduce his heartful lyrics and his impeccable voice to your kids, nieces, nephews, cousins, and so on, Chris will be eternal. He is in my book.
RIP Chris! One of my teenage idols. Life is like your music and voice, two-sided. Melancholy, darkness and madness co-exist with beauty, joy and peace. Thanks for bringing it to life through art.
Wish that was all there was to it, friend, but it's sung as a question and the full lyrics of that section are actually pretty disturbing... Chris was crying out in pain and needed help even when this record came out. I wish someone would have listened more carefully then as it might have prevented what would later happen. RIP Chris. "Someone tried to tell me something Don't let the world bring you down? Nothing will do me in before I do myself So save it for your own and the ones you can help."
@Shawn Jerome No, that is not the case with Chris, Shawn. Perhaps you are thinking of Kurt Cobain? Toxicology reports for Chris revealed that several prescription drugs were in his system the night of his death. He had high levels of barbiturates (prescription sedatives) and four doses of lorazepam (also known as the anxiety medication Ativan) in his body at the time of his death. Traces of caffeine (an upper), pseudoephedrine (a decongestant), and naloxone (administered by EMTs to stop a possible overdose) were also revealed in the toxicology report. Despite evident signs of prescription drug abuse, the coroner officially determined that Chris Cornell’s prescription drug abuse did not directly cause his death. This was not an overdose, and experts say it is unlikely that the “weird combination” of uppers and downers in Cornell’s system would lead him to hang himself.
I know exactly what you mean. No famous persons death shook me like his. yeah I didnt know him but his music opened his soul for the whole world to see. It feels like I lost a family member. :(
Chris was definitely not the musician I expected to leave. He left behind a helluva legacy. Like Brandon said, it’s like losing a family member. A family member in music.
We were truly lucky to live at the same tme as him. He explained to me what I felt when I thought I could never understand. We've all been through so much. We've lost so much and when he left us, it was like I lost a father I never had.. a friend in the fight. I watched the last girl I'll ever be with, take her own life at about the same time he took his. I've never been the same. I miss the old days so much. I guess you just trudge on and find your peace of you can. I hope he found his... I'm still looking for mine.

I remember when I first heard this song, I was like "I wonder who he is singing about" because I had no idea he was suicidal. Thought maybe about Kurt - or Layne? Wasn't sure. Now I know 😔
@@ephesians.6 this song was released 6 years before Layne passed away, so even without knowing of Chris's depression this could have easily been ruled out.
@a this was conjecture pretty much, random thoughts I had that I'm sure I ruled out on my own. And someone can still be sad about someone before they're dead
"Someone tried to tell me something Don''t let the world get you down Nothing will do me in before I do myself So save it for your own and the ones you can help" Just thanks. Thanks for helping people finding peace. I hope you have found yours.
That verse hits me like a right hook, when I consider his chosen fate. Lyric is made much heavier with that knowledge in the back of my mind. A few others also hint at his state of mind , in that way. Burden in my hand, fell on black days, and outshined all reveal a glimpse of a soul in agony. He is obviously in constant, intense pain. He has soul pain, not body pain(like mine), but either kind will drive you mad in time. Phys.pain makes me very irritable, mean even. I want to hit something or someone, but I dont cuz then im causing pain.(F. That) Soul pain makes you cry out and hide, nothing to hit. I just wish he could've found a reason to stay, like his kids , or something. It's tragic, but it's really not his fault. May God have mercy on his spirit and on us all. Amen.
I went through all the same experimentation as a kid . Hooked up to computers in dark rooms getting frequencies and electric brain stimulation that mom was paid for. It Took a long time to forgive for that and even longer to endure and have stability after the trauma and manipulation and triggers it caused me in my life. I still battle the frequencies that trigger physical and emotional responses but I'm more aware and able to control my reactions today. Go bless you Chris I always loved your music . SOUNDGARDEN RULES
This song and words are a blessing to existence. Tortured lyrics are born from tortured feelings and I feel blessed to have been shared his immortal thoughts and words.
I think I only lived as long as i did to hear this version for the 1st time in 2024, after last hearing the song many years ago. I loved soundgarden so much. F me, amazing ❤ RIP
This is one of the best performances of one of the greatest songs ever written by 2 of the most skilled and seasoned musicians of their time in their prime. 🙌
really makes one wonder what makes the 90's so different with today's music...The feeling is just very raw and real back in the days that's why I love it so much!!!
This song feels like a prayer. A prayer to God. As a Christian, I feel that it reflects the emotions we experience during and after times of trials, once we have overcome the obstacles. I feel this song captures those feelings very well. It is a true masterpiece, a genuine ballad.
I like how the bass player just plays through the singing part where most of us mortals exist. Then, continues his life of super chill when Chris’s voice just explodes into a range that none of us lives in.
I'm now the age he was when he passed. I just can't understand why, and I've known depression for way too long. But he seemed a picture of beauty and health, and he was a daddy. Breaks my heart so bad. God Rest Your Beautiful Soul Chris 😔
Benzodiazapines. Prescribed without monitoring or oversight, which was malpractice. He wanted to live, to be here, and had so much still to do. Such a loss.
My favorite human !! Love him so much ! The best vocals ever!!!!!! Emotionally, spiritual, heart , and writing it just right, hope I can meet him in the afterlife
También se convirtio en mi favorito, y no puedo imaginar lo hermoso q se debe ver ya del otro lado!!!. Ojalá me busque cuando sea mi tiempo, como me busca en mis sueños❤
I've got tickets to see Chris in Melbourne this December with my wife and son, can't wait. Hope she still thinks I'm alright after seeing Chris because lets face it, he is the MAN!!!!
Chris helped us battle demons that without him would have ended us. So sad we couldn't help him. But people come to this world for a reason and his was to sacrifice his passion for other people to continue there journey😭😭😢
God that voice is so amazing, gives me chills and goosebumps all over. What a waste, I wish he would've got the help he needed. To this day I still think about Chris Cornell. Rest in peace my good friend.
I used to think in the dark! But I don't anymore. In his lyrics you can tell that he was in the dark. It's too late to say if he only would have waited! He left a lot of music for us I just hope no one gets the wrong idea. Never give up! RIP Chris❤❤❤
Yes his voice was incredible, but his songwriting, lyrics, and inventive guitar playing, when taken all together, I think you can make a good case that Chris Cornell was the greatest rock musician of all time.
I consider Cornell one of the 3 best singers in rock history [Plant, Mercury] and he gets more credit for playing and singing also, although Freddy could do that too.
So so so so grateful to have seen Soundgarden play here in NYC a few years. I was right in the front. Chris singing, is Godly. His range is like no other. I sound crazy but if you saw them in person, you know! A rock God for sure! I just hope the remaining members can settle the things with Vicky. 🙏🤘
Eerie to listen to this song/the lyrics now after his death, damn he was an amazingly beautiful soul, singer & lyricist , I am so glad that I got to see him live, best show/performance I have ever been to, I really mean that and I've seen hundreds of bands. Heaven is a little better place now.
Man he was so good. He must have lived in torture. I hope you are free now. Thank you for making a couple minutes bearable. Collectively you have given us lifetimes of joy, your sacrifice was worthwhile Christopher. ❤RIP my brother in arms
I certainly live in torture, seeing this comment is now 6 months old, and I'm still here, and it's still the same. No warmth, no honor, barely kindness, only fake business smiles. Our society is truly rotten, maybe he indeed did it himself and maybe I should follow the same. I'm not sure the human race is even recoverable at this point. Even the flashes of justice are dimming now, maybe I indeed should leave.
Chris Cornell had so much to give, I feel he could have saved some for himself! He had an amazing career and chose to end his life, I've been there, but knowing it could be worse, I hang in there, so if I can help someone before my time is over, then I achieved my goal! This man affected me so deeply with his music, I have been deviated in loss! Go with God! 🌹 +1
Lord, you broke the Mold when You Brought Chris into this World!!! I dream of how heaven is right now with Chris in it's arms, He's top, the best, voice of a songbird, elequantly sings with overwhelming beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come back, selfishness wants you back, you weren't done here on Earth I feel!! I wish we could just turn back time to have you here again😢💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💯
How remarkable is it that his voice still sounds so amazing after all the smoking and various other things he's probably put it through? And aside from that, how does someone who's nearly 50 look this damned good? Is he even a human being?
Bro smoking doesn't age everyone lol. I smoked my entire life and still got carded, at stores that didbt require carding, up to 37 years old. Its genetics. And Chris wasn't beyond help when it came to drugs like some. He was bad but not Layne Staley bad for instance. Your body recovers
RIP... This song was my fav of his. Although I don't know Chris Cornell on any level....i feel as though he was an essential part of me growing up. Part of me doesn't really know how to deal with this...
I listen to this every night to go to sleep, and then lots of other Soundgarden and acoustic stuff plays. Every.... single..... night. RIP forever Chris.
It's incredible (and heartbreaking) when you finally realize that he wasn't writing dark, melancholic lyrics for lack of better things to say - we were reading a cryptic diary that spanned decades. The greatest voice of our generation, & a singer/songwriter for the ages. RIP CC
well said very well said
A cryptic diary? Really? That's what you believe? Pull your head out of your ass and smell the MURDER
@@jefesmama well said
@@jefesmama murder yes he was letting everyone know last concert no one listened he would still be alive if someone protected him that night
The message is the music.
"A poet is an unhappy being whose heart it torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: Sing for us soon again; that is as much as to say.

RIP Chris Cornell
💜💜💜
Grazie ❤
🙏👍
yeah is better to be ignored and to suffer in silence because no one cares about you or your art
What are you doing man?@Fuzznator
Down On the Upside: one of the most tragically underrated albums of the nineties. It does not age. Anybody undestood it when It came out in 1996
It's my favourite album of all time.
Absolutely I was front of the stage when they were on Lollapalooza w/Metallica when this album came out they blew Metallica off the stage
Absolute truth my friend
Facts
My favorite Soundgarden album
When i feel Sad i always listem to this song, who also do that?
Me
Again, if I had his voice, I would never speak again.
I would sing everything I had to say.
VINCE12314 lol so true bro!!
and then go on "spoken word" tours every few years.
Mark Golden lmao nice.... Chris probably would have loved that joke
you won the internet.
Right on Vince!Most amazing voice!
At least once a week, I fall into a u-tube hole of live Chris performances. it gets me through the bs. It f..king sucks he's gone. but that voice and his music, will forever be alive and well in my soul. RIP man.
Me too😂 stuck in a Chris you tube hole right now😂. Could listen all night and I gotta go to work in the morning 😂😂😂
I do the same thing. Lucky enough to see SG just a few weeks before he left this world. His music will live on forever
Holy shit man i haven't felt words like that in a long time
I miss him
@@mamaottAmen
I keep promising myself to stop 'binge listening' to Chris' music but I just can't .....nothing else fills the hole 😭 RIP
Same here. So sad.
Me too!!
maset8 I don't think ill ever stop. I can't let him die. For me he never will!
Only Layne can take away the pain
i cant stop neither lol
This is almost excruciating to watch, knowing his voice is gone. He has an almost supernatural gift for pitch and control- it eats me alive every time I watch old clips. The loss will never go away.
Your absolutely right
I feel exactly as you do. I just stumbled upon this and watching this just reminds me that he’s gone forever. Forever 😢
Yes. I was so angry to have that beautiful man and his ridiculous talent taken from us.
Totally agree 😢
The more Chris was stripped down the better he was because his talent was just so raw and unmistakeable. Just hits you right in the face. I found Soundgarden at age age 12 in 1991 and it took me a few more decades to realize he was a once in a lifetime musician. I was spoiled.
totally agree with this
I fucking love this version.
I think I currently like it more than the standard studio one.
These guys are the shizzle.
any idea where we can purchase or download these versions ....i can’t find them anywhere but here
@@johnnyotc8470 TH-cam converter
This is the best version!
This is my favorite rendition of this song as well. I grew up devoted to Hip Hop, but always liked Soundgarden (Temple of the Dog/Audiodlave) a lot.

cornell and Staley...my 2 fav ever...RIP
Amen
🎤👑🇧🇷🤘🏾🎶🖤
Same. They will always be my top 2!
He had the most beautiful voice in rock
I read somewhere that he had a five octave voice. Pure magic.
Still has. He is passed on but voice lives on.
I was at this acoustic show, they did 5 songs, got to briefly meet Chris and Ben after the show, it was great.
The theme song of my life.. crazy how much strangers can relate to others without ever even knowing them.
Same…brother.
@@jonahgarrett379 all we can do is keep our head up and make it to another day, one day we will find our way
I get it. Somehow I'm still here to tell the tale.
his smile at the beginning
no one sings like chris any more
Wherever he is now, I hope Chris can experience every heart he filled and fixed. I hope he can finally feel how much he meant to us
A voice like that is from pain. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Rock on, King of Rock

"Nothing seems to kill me". I hope you´re well up there. Miss you every day.
MrTendrils me too,
And me as well. Greatest of past and future. RIP 🙁
MrTendrils Every day ... that’s for damn sure ... I’ll never fully comprehend ... this man truly had it all ... depression (and possibly mismanaged psychoactive medication) ended up being terminal. No judgment Chris, I don’t know your pain, I just miss you for so many selfish reasons 😔
There is no heaven.
Amen...steal the warm wind tired friend
I will never stop being amazed at the soul-jarring techniques this man mastered through his most successful career. Thank you Chris Cornell
Gonna be a dark day when all these guys are gone. Probably the last class of truly timeless singer/songwriters.
He could sing the phone book and make me cry.
Michael Sullivan LMFAO that's a good one
That's brilliant Michael! Me too..
🤣🤣🤣🤣✌😎
I honestly never cry. I havent cried easy in over a decade. Its my outlet... but, when i listen to chris it gets me close and brings out something.
He’s one of my favorite voices, just so raw and honest, pure emotion portrayed by simply listening to him. We lost another great one.
Nothing seem to kill me no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible I know
I've givin' everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down and
Blow up the outside world
Someone tried to tell me something
Don't let the world bring you down
Nothing will do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help
Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the upside world
Thanks, gracias.
The lyrics are so dark ... but there is something so strangely sunny about the music in this song 🤷♀️
👍
🖤🌹
He was/is such a beautiful man, isn't he?! ♥️🤗
Angel
I am thankful that his talent met the music of my generation. I was hoping he would stay and get old with us.
I finally understood why you left, Chris. You do no know me, but I enjoyed your presence through media. Thank you for your existence. May our souls find their inner peace in heaven if we did not got the chance to find it here.

his voice is so beautiful, rest in peace master
That smile of Chris' at the very beginning is so nice
No one sings like you anymore 😢
I know we can replace Chris Cornell but check out Ian Thornley from Big Wreck you won't be disappointed.
True. But I hope Tori will pursue a career in music. She has the voice of an angel.
This song shows exactly how he felt back in 96 so he plodded on bless him for another 21 years, finally at peace, R.I.P
The one man who SHOULDNT have known his limitations....because he had none
Chris will always be with us as long as we keep listening to his otherworldly lyricism and voice.

I could listen to your voice all day every day.
I'm just beside myself how good this is. RIP Chris. I'm still in shock

Feeling really down in my life rate now and somehow this song brings me some piece of joy thank you Chris Cornell ❤
Perfect so perfect, dont let the world bring you down, look up above
Wish that was all there was to it, friend, but it's sung as a question and the full lyrics of that section are actually pretty disturbing...

@Shawn Jerome He wasn't on heroin.
@Shawn Jerome No, that is not the case with Chris, Shawn. Perhaps you are thinking of Kurt Cobain? Toxicology reports for Chris revealed that several prescription drugs were in his system the night of his death. He had high levels of barbiturates (prescription sedatives) and four doses of lorazepam (also known as the anxiety medication Ativan) in his body at the time of his death.

because he expressed himself better than anyone you know most likely...thats what celebrity usually is
His songs feel safe like the embrace of a brother.
these should be released . Great recordings. Perfect and beautiful
When you think this song couldn't hit any harder, you find this version.
Incredible
That smile in the beginning.. man, what a human.

Please, everyone, take care of yourselves. Chris lost a long battle with his demons, let his light keep us all from that terrible fate.
Some of the lines in his songs give me the chills now.
I went through all the same experimentation as a kid . Hooked up to computers in dark rooms getting frequencies and electric brain stimulation that mom was paid for. It Took a long time to forgive for that and even longer to endure and have stability after the trauma and manipulation and triggers it caused me in my life.

I can understand why he did solo and covers. He could sing anything and add that voice wow!!!!!!!
This song and words are a blessing to existence. Tortured lyrics are born from tortured feelings and I feel blessed to have been shared his immortal thoughts and words.
No one sings like you anymore, Chris.
I'll love you forever, my dear.
I think I only lived as long as i did to hear this version for the 1st time in 2024, after last hearing the song many years ago. I loved soundgarden so much. F me, amazing ❤ RIP
This is one of the best performances of one of the greatest songs ever written by 2 of the most skilled and seasoned musicians of their time in their prime. 🙌
really makes one wonder what makes the 90's so different with today's music...The feeling is just very raw and real back in the days that's why I love it so much!!!
mac & cheese the Feeling. The passion. The pain. The honesty. The artistry. And again the pain.
@@el34glo59 never thought someone could have such deep feelings for mac and cheese
Not just a wonderful Voice, great song writing skills as well, God bless you Chris. I will always miss You. Your music will always live inside of me.
This song feels like a prayer. A prayer to God. As a Christian, I feel that it reflects the emotions we experience during and after times of trials, once we have overcome the obstacles. I feel this song captures those feelings very well. It is a true masterpiece, a genuine ballad.
I like how the bass player just plays through the singing part where most of us mortals exist. Then, continues his life of super chill when Chris’s voice just explodes into a range that none of us lives in.
I'm now the age he was when he passed. I just can't understand why, and I've known depression for way too long. But he seemed a picture of beauty and health, and he was a daddy. Breaks my heart so bad. God Rest Your Beautiful Soul Chris 😔
@@timharper4246 he was Epsteined lmao
Benzodiazapines. Prescribed without monitoring or oversight, which was malpractice. He wanted to live, to be here, and had so much still to do. Such a loss.
Chris still has that amazing voice. 1 of my favorite songs ever.
My favorite human !! Love him so much ! The best vocals ever!!!!!! Emotionally, spiritual, heart , and writing it just right, hope I can meet him in the afterlife
También se convirtio en mi favorito, y no puedo imaginar lo hermoso q se debe ver ya del otro lado!!!. Ojalá me busque cuando sea mi tiempo, como me busca en mis sueños❤
Oh Chris, we all miss you too much. Now all we fell on black days.
Listening to you know I never would you know never could ??? Really wonder what happen to this Great Man ??? God Bless Chris 🙏
Even at that age he still had pipes only one could dream of your still greatly missed
I've got tickets to see Chris in Melbourne this December with my wife and son, can't wait. Hope she still thinks I'm alright after seeing Chris because lets face it, he is the MAN!!!!
soundzRinmygarden how was it?
Lucky you went in time
Hopefully you seen him ...😢
Always will be and so will you brother
soundzRinmygarden I love when men can admit that Chris was hot. Thank you sir, I’m sure your wife loves you all the more.
Chris helped us battle demons that without him would have ended us. So sad we couldn't help him. But people come to this world for a reason and his was to sacrifice his passion for other people to continue there journey😭😭😢
I love the song for the lyrics as well as the power Chris brings to the vocal. It's a beautiful thing to experience.
This is just so perfect...perfect message, perfect delivery, perfect pure emotions, perfect acoustic,perfect grunge...a perfect Man
Still miss you man. Beautiful song and stunningly well done.
A truly rare and completely unique artist
A ángel
My man stood above so many he was so talented but yet so humble that’s a real legend
Whos ur man
Chris Cornell I fucking love you
This is the best song in the universe
God that voice is so amazing, gives me chills and goosebumps all over. What a waste, I wish he would've got the help he needed. To this day I still think about Chris Cornell. Rest in peace my good friend.
The lyrics spoke of pain. Yet nobody ... C.C. was a very free bird and such an amazing inspiring musician, in pure sound and songwriting.
Finally able to listen to his acoustic stuff. Two years of grief is a magical amount of time.
that bright smile in the beginning. I wish i couldve seen it live
The smile in the beginning is haunting
I used to think in the dark! But I don't anymore. In his lyrics you can tell that he was in the dark. It's too late to say if he only would have waited! He left a lot of music for us I just hope no one gets the wrong idea. Never give up! RIP Chris❤❤❤
Yes his voice was incredible, but his songwriting, lyrics, and inventive guitar playing, when taken all together, I think you can make a good case that Chris Cornell was the greatest rock musician of all time.
The little treasures sometimes you find on youtube... instant tears in my eyes!! 🖤🙌
Best Version IMO!
live music separates the talented from the engineered
The smile the first few seconds of the video the smile it captures his soul such a talented wonderful human being I miss him
I consider Cornell one of the 3 best singers in rock history [Plant, Mercury] and he gets more credit for playing and singing also, although Freddy could do that too.
This is fantastic! I love how they play together.
So so so so grateful to have seen Soundgarden play here in NYC a few years.
I was right in the front.
Chris singing, is Godly.
His range is like no other.
I sound crazy but if you saw them in person, you know!
A rock God for sure!
I just hope the remaining members can settle the things with Vicky.
🙏🤘
Spooky as hell! But I will take it. What a talent miss you Chris
Eerie to listen to this song/the lyrics now after his death, damn he was an amazingly beautiful soul, singer & lyricist , I am so glad that I got to see him live, best show/performance I have ever been to, I really mean that and I've seen hundreds of bands. Heaven is a little better place now.
Man he was so good. He must have lived in torture. I hope you are free now. Thank you for making a couple minutes bearable. Collectively you have given us lifetimes of joy, your sacrifice was worthwhile Christopher. ❤RIP my brother in arms
I certainly live in torture, seeing this comment is now 6 months old, and I'm still here, and it's still the same. No warmth, no honor, barely kindness, only fake business smiles. Our society is truly rotten, maybe he indeed did it himself and maybe I should follow the same. I'm not sure the human race is even recoverable at this point. Even the flashes of justice are dimming now, maybe I indeed should leave.
50 years from now Soundgarden will be number 1 on the charts again. Possibly the most underated band of all time.
If there be a 50 years...
They are not underrated just because you say they are.
Show me how to live has 190 million listens.
Chris Cornell had so much to give, I feel he could have saved some for himself! He had an amazing career and chose to end his life, I've been there, but knowing it could be worse, I hang in there, so if I can help someone before my time is over, then I achieved my goal! This man affected me so deeply with his music, I have been deviated in loss! Go with God! 🌹 +1
Absolutely amazing voice
Words can’t describe the power, brilliance and emotion in this song, RIP Chris, miss you mate
If I HAD to choose, Blow Up would be my favorite SG song.... It is perfect acoustically and electrically. And it speaks to me... in so many ways.,
What I would give to have seen this man live.
The greatest ever?
The greatest ever.
Yea
Yes
Without a doubt...without question
Layne gives him a run for his money, I'd put Layne a step ahead with his voice but Chris plays the guitar beautifully which Layne does not.
Crying my eyes out
This live version he's playing in full step down tuning. DGCFAD...Love this song and missing that voice.
Thanks, gotta try this tuning
Lord, you broke the Mold when You Brought Chris into this World!!! I dream of how heaven is right now with Chris in it's arms, He's top, the best, voice of a songbird, elequantly sings with overwhelming beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come back, selfishness wants you back, you weren't done here on Earth I feel!! I wish we could just turn back time to have you here again😢💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💯
How remarkable is it that his voice still sounds so amazing after all the smoking and various other things he's probably put it through? And aside from that, how does someone who's nearly 50 look this damned good? Is he even a human being?
I think it comes down to not caring about your age and not stopping because you reach a certain age. The world is not just for 20 year olds.
nope.
Bro smoking doesn't age everyone lol. I smoked my entire life and still got carded, at stores that didbt require carding, up to 37 years old. Its genetics. And Chris wasn't beyond help when it came to drugs like some. He was bad but not Layne Staley bad for instance. Your body recovers
His shining star was just entering the Earths atmosphere! We were so lucky to be graced by his existence
RIP... This song was my fav of his. Although I don't know Chris Cornell on any level....i feel as though he was an essential part of me growing up. Part of me doesn't really know how to deal with this...
My feeling exactly...and it still hurts...this is like a wound that does not heal
Chris’s death definitely stung. I wasn’t expecting it at all, I thought he could’ve held out for just a little longer.
5 years ago this beautiful soul left this earth. Miss him
such a deep sound. Chris Cornell still has a good voice.
I listen to this every night to go to sleep, and then lots of other Soundgarden and acoustic stuff plays. Every.... single..... night. RIP forever Chris.
