It's something we all easily identify with my friend. If it helps, I drew inspiration in observing my own suffering and created this philosophical musing. "Suffering is to life what the fire is to the forge". I truly hope those who read this draw strength from it knowing that what they are going through will make them stronger. If they let it.
I'm working on a project right now that addresses this, but the short explanation I've arrived at (diagnosed & hospitalized with MDD way back at age 18, now 52): Depression and darkness aren't muses, and they don't lead to great art. It's the intense empathy, the unguarded humanity these people shared that made them amazing poets and musicians, and that sensitivity also opens us up to the darkness in a way that most people never quite reach. Whatever causes this thing we've labeled as depression is really about being a living tuning fork, with every emotion setting off that resonance. When you feel all the suffering around you like a constant vibration, how else can you be expected to respond?
Then MM reciprocates the gesture... quick, quiet, quaint. Brothers, doing what they were born to do. Damn, Mike Mc~ what a trooper. He's survived, & thrived, thru the rehabs...the lowest low's; the countless comrades FALLEN by the ills of their craft. The ills, of being human. He's an icon.
Chris is the only person in my opinion that can sing a Layne Staley song.. they admired each, they were great friends and Chris knew Layne's pain... Im sure Layne would have loved Chris singing River of Deceit... I hope they are together, I really do..

Mike is so underrated and under appreciated...I know we do, but most don’t put him on the list of the best...and he’s certainly in the top 50 all time imo
Pienso lo mismo Mike es un tremendo guitarrista muy emotivo su música transporta a una frecuencia diferente... Una maravilla de canción de Layne que en la voz del gran Chriss la transforma en una obra de arte..
Never thought I'd have to watch this with Chris no longer around.....I played this song for my dad to try to explain to him how I felt while struggling with heroin. I'm glad I made it out. Rip Chris, Layne, John Baker Saunders, Andy, Kurdt, Scott, Kristen Pfaff, Hillel Slovak, Mike Starr and Chester
There's almost a feeling of denouement, as in all of our heroes from our youth are beginning to ride into the sunset. They were the voice of the young, the rebellious, with the world in front of them. Now they're getting older, and the river of deceit is taking all of us closer to our own Decembers. Still makes me cry, but for totally different reasons the older I get. Grunge forever; Layne forever; Always with an eye toward Seattle. Rock on, Chris. Rock on.
Interesting; but I did not catch that vibe at all! These guys are only in their 50's, not their 80's. Not to mention that they are playing at MSG, not the state and county fair circuit. Plus if you are a musician over 30, which even beiber is only 7 years away from; who wants to be playing for teens anyways. You can only go so far with songs about anger with your parents, teachers, jocks and bullies, etc
All those Seattle sound & Grunge ,.... AIC, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Mad Season, Temple of dog, STP, Nirvana .... All you guys are the greatest in what you do, true artists, pure gifted. I'm so blessed that I'm in that era when I was a teenager. All their songs have written from heart&soul. True Artists & Forever Legends.
It's amazing the way all the 90s alternative banks pay tribute to each other. No other genre of music does that with such sincerity. Truly a special time for music that doesn't get enough credit for the impact on history
They all blew up unexpectedly when they weren't even trying to become commercially successful, so I think that's a lot of it. They were all friends before the hype.
Yes it does, I'm 49 years old and any respectable 20 year old musician who plays an actual instrument gives 90s alternative all the credit it deserves as far as I'm concerned.....

Bands did that all through the 60's and 70's. Grunge was always a throwback.
@ Sub Pop wasn't a major at the time. Chris even said they waited a few years to sign to a label to begin with. Of course he wanted to sell records and make a living with music, but there is a side to him that it was also kind of a job that he fell into. There is a difference between making a living at it and having people put you on a grunge Mount Rushmore. That is my interpretation. For example, when they got big, he had to try to understand what it meant for him and his music. He says things like this in a number of interviews. None of them expected worldwide famous status even though every kid who is into music dreams about it.
@@commenter6763 They grew up in the clubs together, opening for one another. Many times the only people at the show were a few dedicated fans, friends/family, and the other bands that were on the card for the night. They really grew up together as artist and thought of themselves more of a family than competitors. They cheered each other on, helped each other out, and even mourned each other when they left us.
Both are gone. Cant believe it. Makes me consider my own whatever. Chris Cornell died in my home city. I was at work next morning when i heard...kinda thought it was a joke for the first 30 min...but then no...it was real. F.
Simply beautiful. I just cried all over my desk. And to think in 6 short months, we'd lose him too. Thank you Layne & Chris for choosing to share your gifts with us.
Funny you rarely hear Mike McCready mentioned with the greats of rock and roll guitar playing. But tell me he doesn't take you somewhere with his playing?? One of the all time greats to be sure
Cody Chylik I'm directly talking about Mike mccreadys tone. By the late 90's.. His channel switching was dirt to dirtier. And I appreciated that he laid back on the OD
That little embrace Chris and Mike shared during the intro is so so touching, seriously gets me, and you just know they're remembering their friend Layne.. now Chris has joined him.. hope you're rocking in peace up there fellas 💔
Man seeing Mike and Chris have that moment gave me chills. They all loved and supported eachother. So sad we lost so many of them too young. Love your people and everyone while you can. Tell them they matter to you
I think his parents taught him manners, kindness, respect and all the rest. He was so so sweet!! I miss him so much. A year and a half later and i still watch his videos and music every single day!!
BoiseG 10 times better than both robert and freddie, u guys have not made ur own thoughts, people have always said freddie and robert is the best, if u would have been interuced to all of theas singers for the first time u would all pick Chris, dont argue just try to get how everything really works
Why do I love Chris Cornell, because he was kind and the sweetest guy with so much compassion for others. Chris is the type of guy that he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He didn't have a mean and hateful bone in his body. That is the reason why he will be my favorite singer off all time.
SuperTruthhunter I miss Layne and CC now. Vocal range masters are gone !Not to mention those lyrics these two wrote and no I'm not confused about the ones jerry wrote,his are beautiful too but no one can sing them like Layne ❤️💔💞RIP Andy, Hoon, Jeff Buckley, Mike Starr, Layne Staley ,Scott weiland, CC ! God I miss all of them ! They all Rocked !
Love they did this to remember Layne and at the Seattle Jan. 2016 Mad Season tribute Reach Down was played for Andy. How amazing are these guys... love love love
I am watching this in 2020 wow, hard to see him thinking he's gone, best voice ever amazing singer. RIP :( Layne Wow would be so awesome to see him sing today :( RIP
I can only imagine the pain, I hope all is well. Remember what was good, and head forever forwards. My condolences for your loss; I bet he was a great friend.
Im sorry for your loss. I understand your pain as I am a Veteran and know that loss well. Much respect. This song stings regardless. Its so truly vulnerable and one of the deepest insights Layne allowed all of us. What a gift he was. Chris as well.
Chris's piercing blue eyes are hollow here. Depression is a pandemic, I suffer through it. I truly believe this was a favorite performance of his, to celebrate Layne and to let Mike connect again to their friend, and Chris sings it beautifully. I miss you Chris, I miss you Layne. Thank you for your beautiful voices. The world is better because you both had the courage to open to Us. They have both saved me more times than I wish I could have repaid to them.
I am a 48 year old father of two and I am literally sitting here in tears listening to this with tears rolling down my face. Layne and Chris are two of my all time favorite artist and hearing one pay tribute to the other knowing they are both gone just really hit me. This was one of the first CDs I purchased when I got my portable cd player as a graduation gift. My grandpa took me to the store to pick out a few CDs when he realized he got me a gift that I could not use yet and we got Mad Season and another that I cannot quite remember (it was 30 years ago so I get a mulligan). My grandpa actually really liked the Mad Season cd, well some of it, since he did get me a car adapter two so we listened to a song or two on the way home. He is gone too. It seems like everything great about that time of my life has gone to the other side. I have a few good friends left, a few left us, but there is always the music we listened to.
....nice to here your story... unfortunately mine is much more dark and I'm still struggling😢Btw we are the same age😊.... however this music brings me peace and ... cheers mate..
That embrace between mike and chris says it all. This video got me in my feels in 2024. I'm watching the original live at the Moore version after this.
Thank god we still have Eddie Vedder alive in 2020 and hopefully for a good long time, god bless the greatest rock singers of our generation: Rest easy now Chris, Layne, Kurt and Andy
a whole new feeling now with recent events, still a great and powerful song,....I don't have much for words, just that we miss Chris, and Layne,..and we had better cherish what we have here and now, today,....for god only knows what tomorrow might bring,..Enjoy and LIVE the music that they left us.
Jesus I cant believe he's gone. What a loss. Beautiful song. Chris and Layne should've done a whole album of duets. Their voices sound so good together.
The truth is never knowing just assumed it was what it was, along with the solitude came great gifts in others eyes ours only question each sun rise why, sun set convinced it was just part of life in the years understanding it was always something inside that another called "mental health" stigma for life while all along it was just what it was no shame to it, after hearing there was some destination to it we barreled forward the river of deceit to the ignorance of educated beliefs as it is today, praying in mind one distant understanding that I am what I was born to be nothing else nothing less. Rip bro
True which makes it so IRONIC that the song says the PAIN IS SELF CHOSEN. It isn't. Depression casts a gloom on all you see or hear. It hurts and people self-medicate. Layne's eyes showed the pain of an abusive childhood. Something happened that he could not run away from, and every safe space disappeared. The DEATH RATE from DEPRESSION is 20%. ONE IN FIVE, if untreated. DEPRESSION KILLS.
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. That song coming out of Chris's mouth sounds amazing! This man is definitely the Whitney Houston of Rock. He could sing anything and it would sound untouchable.
l love you layne, your words , your pain, do something to me,,I feel it's like you are singing to me, rip my lovely Layne, god seems to take the best from us,, I hope we're you are, that your pain is gone, but if you weren't feeling that pain your songs wouldn't be so heart felt...miss you 💕
Literally gave me goosebumps watching them embrace at the beginning of the song. We all miss u layne...so so so very much. It definitely shows the impact 1 person can have on so many talented people.
Chris's friends feel that he never really recovered from Andrew's death. Given what I've seen of McCready before and after, I don't think he really did either, or if he did, it took a long time do so. I can't imagine being a surviving member of any of the Big Four Grunge bands, having seen so many friends from that scene die. Andrew from Mother Love Bone, Mike and Layne from AiC, Chris from Soundgarden, Kurt from Nirvana, Scott from STP, Mia Zapata of the Gits and Stefanie Sargent from 7 Year Bitch.
H-O-L-Y S-H-I-T....I had no idea this even existed. How those guys had so much love and respect for each other. It will be a long time, if ever, that we see the likes of this again. These guys made musical history. Thank you Layne, Chris, and so many others.
The Seattle bands, whether u call them Grunge bands or whatever, have never been about competition or purely making money from their albums, they were about friendship and love, watching each other's backs, being there for one another when someone needed a friend. This is what bands should be about.
Every time I hear this song, Layne's voice spooks me. I get chills hearing his voice. Chris' voice lends such a sweet undertone in his respect to Layne. So glad I was a young man when these bands were giving youth angst anthems that became timeless for our children to pay homage.
LLLLAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Thank you God for letting me be born at the perfect time to appreciate the best era of music ever!!
Fewer people could cover this song and still be fair at Layne's voice and passion. Cornell sure did it here and now listen to this beautiful song only makes me even more sad that it used to be. Those two will be forever missed. R.I.P. Layne and Chris. If there's any heaven you guys sure are rocking the hell of it (with some of your amazing buddys like Kurt, Starr, Scott and Andy)
Nothing but love for Chris, thank you for sharing the time you were here & all your gifts so freely & selflessly, beautiful soul inside & out, I hope you are at peace at last...
the Seattle bands have never been about competition but embracing each other and playing awesome music. that's the way it should be. rip Layne.
Hence Kurt Cobain is a dickhead
Msgr. Øystein Nidal Gein wtf dude?
Nirvana wasn't a Seattle band
soulextinguisher umm Cobain and Novoselic were both from Washington and Nirvana was definitely part of the Seattle scene...
Nirvana started in Aberdeen, Washington. The other "grunge" bands were all formed in Seattle.
why does darkness and depression always make the best damn music. guess it says alot about humanity and suffering. R.I.P. brother we all miss you

"Suffering is to life what the fire is to the forge". I truly hope those who read this draw strength from it knowing that what they are going through will make them stronger. If they let it.

Love when Chris reaches out and touches Mike...quietly remembering Layne. Touching.
That was so touching and absolutely beautiful.

Imagine layne and Cornell both singing in harmony
They actually have a song. It's called right turn
It's a song on Alice in Chains EP S.A.P.
Right Turn, including Mark Arm and obviously Jerry.
This made me cry
Well now they are.....regardless whether its heaven or hell, they are.....
0:46 That hug between Chris and Mike made me cry. You know they are both thinking about Layne. Beautiful. RIP to Chris and Layne.
Thank you for pointing out I didn’t even realize that. This performance is so powerful
The best part of this cover is Chris doesn't try to over sing it or change the way it's sang... he sings it just like Layne did. Tribute, respect.
Never thought I'd have to watch this with Chris no longer around.....I played this song for my dad to try to explain to him how I felt while struggling with heroin. I'm glad I made it out.

Mike Mcreedy was in both
Actually Cornell was in Mad Season too.
@Pythagoras Theorem Yes he was. McCready plays lead guitar on the album.
Stone and Jeff founded it but Mike was in the band indeed.
There's almost a feeling of denouement, as in all of our heroes from our youth are beginning to ride into the sunset. They were the voice of the young, the rebellious, with the world in front of them. Now they're getting older, and the river of deceit is taking all of us closer to our own Decembers.
Still makes me cry, but for totally different reasons the older I get. Grunge forever; Layne forever; Always with an eye toward Seattle.
Rock on, Chris. Rock on.
Beautifully said.....tugged at my heart.
Interesting; but I did not catch that vibe at all! These guys are only in their 50's, not their 80's. Not to mention that they are playing at MSG, not the state and county fair circuit. Plus if you are a musician over 30, which even beiber is only 7 years away from; who wants to be playing for teens anyways. You can only go so far with songs about anger with your parents, teachers, jocks and bullies, etc
I would like to think that this song will live on for many generations,,,,,,,,,,
The 90s were my stay at home mom days, the best days of my life.
A beautifully written passage.

Jason Ace Forbes I agree 💯
Layne was so amazing.
I was in Iraq in 2004 and when my friend died on May 23rd listened to this song and cried. Will always remind me of that awful time.
Hope you're doing better freind
I can only imagine the pain, I hope all is well. Remember what was good, and head forever forwards. My condolences for your loss; I bet he was a great friend.
Im sorry for your loss. I understand your pain as I am a Veteran and know that loss well. Much respect. This song stings regardless. Its so truly vulnerable and one of the deepest insights Layne allowed all of us. What a gift he was. Chris as well.
Chris's piercing blue eyes are hollow here. Depression is a pandemic, I suffer through it. I truly believe this was a favorite performance of his, to celebrate Layne and to let Mike connect again to their friend, and Chris sings it beautifully. I miss you Chris, I miss you Layne. Thank you for your beautiful voices. The world is better because you both had the courage to open to Us. They have both saved me more times than I wish I could have repaid to them.
I can hear the beauty and pain of Layne through Chris.
I am a 48 year old father of two and I am literally sitting here in tears listening to this with tears rolling down my face. Layne and Chris are two of my all time favorite artist and hearing one pay tribute to the other knowing they are both gone just really hit me. This was one of the first CDs I purchased when I got my portable cd player as a graduation gift. My grandpa took me to the store to pick out a few CDs when he realized he got me a gift that I could not use yet and we got Mad Season and another that I cannot quite remember (it was 30 years ago so I get a mulligan). My grandpa actually really liked the Mad Season cd, well some of it, since he did get me a car adapter two so we listened to a song or two on the way home. He is gone too. It seems like everything great about that time of my life has gone to the other side. I have a few good friends left, a few left us, but there is always the music we listened to.
....nice to here your story... unfortunately mine is much more dark and I'm still struggling😢Btw we are the same age😊.... however this music brings me peace and ... cheers mate..
My sister and I were at this show!!!! Such an amazing night!!!!
Oh Chris.. you're still sooo dearly missed. ♡
how good is Chris Cornell this song is such a sad beautiful song
That embrace between mike and chris says it all. This video got me in my feels in 2024. I'm watching the original live at the Moore version after this.
Thank god we still have Eddie Vedder alive in 2020 and hopefully for a good long time, god bless the greatest rock singers of our generation: Rest easy now Chris, Layne, Kurt and Andy
That was a beautiful rendition, WOW ❣️🌹
I could drift off to sleep listening to this melody. Rest easy Layne and Chris
I do most nights
My 3 main rock Gods are gone: Layne, Scott and now Chris. God, I miss them!! 💔
Heart is breaking right now. RIP Layne and Chris.
Timeless masterpiece!! 💙
My pain is not self chosen....
RIP Layne and Chris
We love you
This song puts me in a trance...and what an excellent cover. Just amazing...
a whole new feeling now with recent events, still a great and powerful song,....I don't have much for words, just that we miss Chris, and Layne,..and we had better cherish what we have here and now, today,....for god only knows what tomorrow might bring,..Enjoy and LIVE the music that they left us.
Jesus I cant believe he's gone. What a loss. Beautiful song. Chris and Layne should've done a whole album of duets. Their voices sound so good together.
Rest Peacefully Layne,Miss U Brother
Barre Wilks and now Chris is with him. Two great talents gone to the great gig in the sky
Chris had sad piercing haunting eyes.. Beautiful and sad at the same time.. RIP Beautiful Soul
I think this was 6 months before he died. To me, he looked haunted. His eyes looked so sad and he kept looking to heaven. Miss him so, so much.
what a cool ode to Layne :) and who else can do it better than Chris Cornell !?! thank you for making this ! Remembering Layne Stanley
Actually this is hitting 2 birds in 1 stone. The band itself is an ode to Andy Wood.
Msgr. Øystein Nidal Gein Now even three...
Cornell is amazing. Great tribute. Wish I could see this in person. My favorite song of all time
14TruLuv it is truly something else. Got to see it here, and nearly cried. When they did it in Seattle as well, it was nearly a religious experience.
nettiemac wow. That sound life changing. Seriously
depression isn't a joke..
Heroin is a death-kiss.
@@junglistpostman no joke.
The truth is never knowing just assumed it was what it was, along with the solitude came great gifts in others eyes ours only question each sun rise why, sun set convinced it was just part of life in the years understanding it was always something inside that another called "mental health" stigma for life while all along it was just what it was no shame to it, after hearing there was some destination to it we barreled forward the river of deceit to the ignorance of educated beliefs as it is today, praying in mind one distant understanding that I am what I was born to be nothing else nothing less. Rip bro
It sure isn't. 😢
True which makes it so IRONIC that the song says the PAIN IS SELF CHOSEN. It isn't. Depression casts a gloom on all you see or hear. It hurts and people self-medicate. Layne's eyes showed the pain of an abusive childhood. Something happened that he could not run away from, and every safe space disappeared. The DEATH RATE from DEPRESSION is 20%. ONE IN FIVE, if untreated. DEPRESSION KILLS.
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. That song coming out of Chris's mouth sounds amazing! This man is definitely the Whitney Houston of Rock. He could sing anything and it would sound untouchable.
Nah, the best voice in rock is Layne Staley
@@TheStepmonkeyChris and Scott are also on that list. Layne was amazing but don't downplay the others as well.
l love you layne, your words , your pain, do something to me,,I feel it's like you are singing to me, rip my lovely Layne, god seems to take the best from us,, I hope we're you are, that your pain is gone, but if you weren't feeling that pain your songs wouldn't be so heart felt...miss you 💕
Literally gave me goosebumps watching them embrace at the beginning of the song. We all miss u layne...so so so very much. It definitely shows the impact 1 person can have on so many talented people.
This video really just pulls a big nice "Fuck yeah." right outta me. ;)
His voice and emotion is just amazing, 2 of the greatest EVER! RIP Chris,Layne, Kurt, Scott....and all of the other great grunge guys we have lost
R I P~Chris, Layne, & Andrew...the WORLD thanks you 💜
And mike starr
Don't forget about ol Kurt.
And Scott Weiland.
Chris's friends feel that he never really recovered from Andrew's death. Given what I've seen of McCready before and after, I don't think he really did either, or if he did, it took a long time do so.
I can't imagine being a surviving member of any of the Big Four Grunge bands, having seen so many friends from that scene die. Andrew from Mother Love Bone, Mike and Layne from AiC, Chris from Soundgarden, Kurt from Nirvana, Scott from STP, Mia Zapata of the Gits and Stefanie Sargent from 7 Year Bitch.
and Shannon Hoon
This performance is especially poignant now that Chris is no longer with us.
Yeah I know. Rock just feels silent and empty without Chris. We desperately need rock back in the mainstream
The fact that someone captured this moment is incredible
Where is the whole show
H-O-L-Y S-H-I-T....I had no idea this even existed. How those guys had so much love and respect for each other. It will be a long time, if ever, that we see the likes of this again. These guys made musical history. Thank you Layne, Chris, and so many others.
So talented... oh my gosh... you will missed forever! R.I.P. Chris!
I will miss Layne and Chris for the rest of my life!
ME TO !!!!
... the two most beautiful voices and the two most talented singers I loved ... Layne and Chris ... I miss you ...
Now Chris is with Layne. So very sad that we have lost another talented person.
RIP Layne and Chris, we miss you, men! Thx for your great music and voice
The Seattle bands, whether u call them Grunge bands or whatever, have never been about competition or purely making money from their albums, they were about friendship and love, watching each other's backs, being there for one another when someone needed a friend. This is what bands should be about.
this song, especially covered by Temple just crushes me... so much sadness and beauty
one of the best songs of all time
Thank you whoever video taped this. Just so special. No words.❤❤❤
Every time I hear this song, Layne's voice spooks me. I get chills hearing his voice. Chris' voice lends such a sweet undertone in his respect to Layne. So glad I was a young man when these bands were giving youth angst anthems that became timeless for our children to pay homage.
LLLLAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Thank you God for letting me be born at the perfect time to appreciate the best era of music ever!!
Fewer people could cover this song and still be fair at Layne's voice and passion. Cornell sure did it here and now listen to this beautiful song only makes me even more sad that it used to be. Those two will be forever missed. R.I.P. Layne and Chris. If there's any heaven you guys sure are rocking the hell of it (with some of your amazing buddys like Kurt, Starr, Scott and Andy)
I couldn´t love him more! You`re always the best Chris!
I still can’t believe he’s gone.
Nothing but love for Chris, thank you for sharing the time you were here & all your gifts so freely & selflessly, beautiful soul inside & out, I hope you are at peace at last...
Absolutely EPIC and no one to do it better! Cornell rules! rip Layne
Beautiful song and perfect voice for this....
Thank you so much for this. Absolutely fantastic. It is still so difficult to believe he's gone.
And now they are both gone :(
Imágenes Mentales and just today, we lost the guy who sang at Chris' funeral. RIP Chester Bennington, Chris, and Layne.
Aw man, so heartfelt the hug between Chris and Mike at the start. They mask the hurt so well and I love and respect them sooooo damn much!
I love every cover this man does...Everything condsidered hes by far the best rock vocalist over the last 25 years hands down.
Chris made this song his own! Yes, he sang some Layne´s vocals arrangements but he kept singing as himself. Chapeau!
I so agree. Chris is the best, but Layne and Scott are not far behind him.
Professor Kaos Have you heard his cover of nothing compares...
Peppi Boudreau I was trying to make the same point on another song earlier.
I've lost a lot of my musical heroes'.. Rip n thanks for the music
