    "'Fell On Black Days' was like this ongoing fear I've had for years. It took me a long time to write that song. We've tried to do three different versions with that title, and none of them have ever worked," he said. "It's a feeling that everyone gets. You're happy with your life, everything's going well, things are exciting - when all of a sudden you realize you're unhappy in the extreme, to the point of being really, really scared. There's no particular event you can pin the feeling down to, it's just that you realize one day that everything in your life is f--ked!" Chris Cornell quoted in magazine article about writing the song

      I believe Chris suffered from clinical depression, and ultimately his meds led to his death. Part of me wishes he would have continued to smoke and drink, but it wasn't meant to be.

      Man that's hard to read. I used to rationalize depression, as I've never suffered from it genuinely. Until I met an artist who was bipolar, and it became clear it was chemical. no rime no reason her dreams could be coming true and she would still suddenly just have days where she described she couldn't find the joy in anything. so cruel.

      You can make that case. To me, it's both. Especially since Post-Grunge (as with Post-Punk) is a thing. Seattle was the epicenter of The Grunge Revolution; however, Grunge ain't confined to Seattle. Grunge has been brought to us by way of Chicago (Smashing Pumpkins), U.K. (Bush), and even Australia (early Silverchair) and South Africa (Seether, although they are technically Post-Grunge). Grunge rocks, man. 👍🏻

      Have you heard the intro to the songs, ‘footsteps’ by Pearl Jam, ‘times of trouble’ by Temple of the Dog and ‘rotten apple’ by Alice in Chains? All a dedication, like the Alice song Would? to Andrew Wood.
      ‘Apple’ was the name of the only album released by Mother Love Bone.
      The band Green River, when they split, half that band became Mudhoney and half of that band became Mother Love Bone and when MLB split, half of that band became Pearl Jam.
      The song ‘right turn’ by Alice in Chains is sung by Layne, Mark from Mudhoney and Chris Cornell.
      Chris Cornell was Andrew Wood’s best friend.
      Pearl Jam have a song called ‘Lukin’ on their 4th album ‘No Code’ and it’s about Matt Lukin, the original bass player form Mudhoney - are there any other Seattle band links like these?

      If you're referring to what they are discussing at 10:25, I don't think it comes from asking what is so bad and more from "if only there was something we could have rond". Which is pretty common after a suicide.

    It's funny how songs age -- when I first heard this song when it came out, in the 90s, it was an absolute stunner. Stood out from all the other tracks. That bent guitar riff. The groove with those heavy fills. The sludgy, moody, ethereal vibe. The little change to the major key in the last half. And the vocal range.
    But I guess, if you're hearing this for the first time in 2019, you've already heard all the copycats and bands that were influenced by them, who polished the sound or were more influenced by other cuts on the record (FOURTH OF JULY is one of the tracks that influenced Deftones and a ton of other bands). And in the end, it doesn't have the same impact.
    Cos this song was one of those tracks that everyone was raving about back in the day.😂

      Three years ago, I was waiting for the walk sign on an intersection in Greenwood (Seattle suburb) and I looked to my right and, BOOM, Matt Cameron is standing right next to me. I have NEVER been so star struck in my life. I wanted to gush and talk to him, but he was with his kid and I didn't want to bother him. Don't regret my lack of action, but one of the perks to living in Seattle.
      Especially growing up here in the 90s. These guys were just everywhere... I saw Layne Staley in a Fred Meyers twice. I saw Chris Cornell and Ben Sheppard and Jerry Cantrell on the street in Ballard. I ate breakfast with Warrell Dane one morning. Ran into Jeff Loomis is a burger place in Shoreline. I really miss that time. It was magical.

Temple of the Dog itself is a project dedicated to the late Andrew Wood, singer of one of the Grunge originators, Mother Love Bone. TotD consists of members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, and Times of Trouble is framed on the acoustic riff of Pearl Jam’s song ‘Footsteps’.

    @kiara5761 4 роки тому +16

    This track is so prophetic now, knowing how he left us all. Makes it even sadder than it already was. Chris wasn't as deep into the drugs as the other noted grunge artists, I think it was largely deep depressive thoughts, suicidal ideations and the loss of so many close friends to drugs, starting with Andrew Woods death in 1990. Some people just feel, off, always. Disjointed and uneasy with life, I am this way, tons of people are, that's why he resonates with us so much. He puts words to feelings that are so incredibly hard to explain! Thanks for all the great reactions guys!
