    Jesus Christ this is interesting as hell. Unreal that chris would write such beautiful songs just based on titles and then take the risk of them not even finding those songs . And little did he know that a 12-13 year old me would rent this movie and hear "seasons " play in the background during that scene as the main male character walks alone down a street and I set upright from my bed with wide open eyes and said to myself "what the fuck is that !? This sounds amazing ." And years later , I'm no longer in a band , a solo artist , I use seasons as a go to when playing and singing covers . Chill bumps

    Cliff Poncier went from "Touch Me I'm Dick" to "Seasons" "Spoonman", "Nowhere But You" and "Flutter Girl"? He would have been praised in more places than just France and Belgium! Seriously though, this is such a great story! I first heard Seasons in 11th grade and I would not rest until I learned it. I figured it out, by ear, in one night and I was so proud of myself and it felt so good to play it that it just inspired me to continue learning and creating music. His creativity inspired my creativity for years and years.

    Great story. A very old one, which a lot of fans of both Chris Cornell and the movie Singles have been aware of for decades. I know I first read about the song Seasons background in a RS magazine article in the early-mid 90's. Never heard it told directly from the primary sources though, very cool. 😊

    As my favorite singer in any genre of music, the tragedy of it all still hasn't sunk in. He was obviously still passionate and hungry in his writing, which most artists with a lengthy successful career seem to lose! Depression runs rampant it seems! Please keep an eye on your friends and family, and try to talk to someone if you're feeling down! ✌✌✌

  • @christophermcentee107

    The story of how Cameron got the tape is classic CC. From SPIN Magazines Oral History of Badmotorfinger:
    "Hallerman: Around Thanksgiving, Chris wrote the Poncier tape [a five-song, solo compilation demo for the film Singles]. A month before that he did Temple of the Dog, a whole different album with beautiful singing and expression and stuff. He did that during the writing of Badmotorfinger.
    Thayil: The Poncier thing was probably a consequence of the work he was doing with Temple of the Dog and Badmotorfinger. Basically, he’s coming up with a number of musical ideas and lyrical ideas, melodies, and guitar parts. He knows what will work with the guys from Mother Love Bone, and he’s showing them songs. He knows what will work with me and Matt and Ben. The idea that he took these song titles and then concocted, overnight, five interesting musical pieces, is probably not likely the case. It’s probably musical ideas that were being generated all along during this period of time. He was always playing guitar and recording ideas.
    Cameron Crowe (Director, Singles): [My ex-wife] Nancy [Wilson] went out to a club, while I stayed home in Woodinville. She ran into Chris who gave her the [Poncier] tape. He said, “Here’s what you wanna do. Go home and tell Cameron you ran into some guy on the street who was busking and had a cassette to sell, and that you bought it and brought it home.” So, she did that. And I looked at the cassette and it had all the fake titles from [Pearl Jam bassist] Jeff Ament’s little art piece copy that he had done for the movie Singles. It was like, “What? What is this??” So, I put it on, and it was Chris. I couldn’t believe how fully realized it was, and how different it was. How elegant. I loved all the songs, but “Seasons,” stood out from the first listen with that Zeppelin, open-tuning vibe. It was like, “Holy crap!” It was the best thing I’d heard in a really long time. It was a facet of Chris that I wanted to use; this rich vein of Chris’s solo impulses. Stuff that’s not particularly Soundgarden, but very personal and him. It quickly went from mind-blown, to how can we make this part of the sound of the movie?"
    Freaking epic and so very Cornell

    i never cared much for latter day performances from chris because of the way his voice and singing changed, but this performance of Seasons made me realize that his older voice was still well-suited to a song like this in particular. kinda has me wishin he went for a more stripped down folky lo-fi old man thing after Euphoria Mourning rather than audioslave or still trying to belt out all the old hits and make polished sounding new shit with a cracked voice.
