    Chris Cornell explained the song's origins:
    "I wrote it in my head driving home from Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, a 35-40 minute drive from Seattle. It sparked from something a news anchor said on TV and I heard wrong. I heard 'blah blah blah black hole sun blah blah blah'. I thought that would make an amazing song title, but what would it sound like? It all came together, pretty much the whole arrangement including the guitar solo that's played beneath the riff. I spent a lot of time spinning those melodies in my head so I wouldn't forget them. I got home and whistled it into a Dictaphone. The next day I brought it into the real world, assigning a couple of key changes in the verse to make the melodies more interesting. Then I wrote the lyrics and that was similar, a stream of consciousness based on the feeling I got from the chorus and title." - RIP Chris

    RIP Chris Cornell, a genius songwriter and excellent vocalist, Soundgarden were definitely one of the best bands from the short lived Grunge era, well worth a deeper look, I always thought this song was about wishing away from all the fake ass people, we all know more than a few of those.

  • @RogerFlynt966
    @RogerFlynt966 3 роки тому +54

    90's kid here...I always took this song to be a representation of our addiction to distractions. the "black hole" is a TV or another distraction is also the "sun" that takes pain away or hides the horrors that are always going on around us. The proverbial Light in the Darkness. -----The girl eating the ice cream cone that is also melting the doll. similar metaphors could be drawn to most of the characters in the video.
    Chris had his own demons with depression, his black hole sun was music. Hiding his horrors with a distraction. Ultimately these distractions have sucked us in so much that we never fix the horrors..
    R.I.P to one of the greatest voices of a generation.

    Hi! The "Black Hole Sun" refers to a solar eclipse, when it looks like a black hole in the sky. Notice at the beginning of the video a guy walks buy with a sign saying, "The end is nigh." Eclipses are often associated with the end of the world, etc., in a lot of traditions. It is like they are calling on the end to come, to wash away that which they find undesirable. That's why there are so many apocalyptic elements in the video, and also why the people in the video are sort of shown as hypocrites/fake, possessed (lizard-like), or decadent. Finally, the eclipse is represented like a black hole swallowing everything up -- again, indicating that an eclipse is going to trigger the end. At least, that's what I take from this! haha

    "No one sings like you anymore" Still haunting to this day.
    A lot of people relate some of Chris's songs to death and suicide because of how he went. If you put death in the place of Black Hole Sun it fits. Put death/suicide as the reason in "Like a Stone" . It's hard to put it all in that bag but it's hard to discredit it since he dealt with depression.

    Story Time!
    I was fortunate enough to see Sound Garden a few years before Chris's death. In the middle of the show, Chris points to this teenager in the crowd with a sign that read something along the lines of "Let me play Black Days with you!". So he brings this kid on stage, and tells him that Black Days isn't on the set list, but they'll do it for him. He then proceeds to hand this 16-ish year old his guitar and tells him, "Be careful with that, I wrote this song on that guitar". The kid looked nervous as all hell but got into it once the song started to get going and nailed it!
    I have been to 50+ shows in my lifetime and I have never seen anything like that from any other band. Not even the band, just their front man, the legendary Chris Cornell.
    Funny story, so for whatever reason the bassist got really pissed off when they went off the set list for the kid. He was visibly annoyed and was shouting something at Chris, but I couldn't make it out with all the noise and he didn't have a mic like Chris did. He still played Black Days and the rest of the set after that.. At the very end of the show right before walking off, the bassist threw down one of his amps behind him and stormed off. No idea what that was about, but he REALLY didn't want to play Black Days with this random teenager.

    I've always seen this song as a realization of how off, twisted, tainted and creepy this society is under the smiley, glossy surface, and how some people may want to see it all "burnt up", or to use the lyrics, washed away.
    For the record, I don't want to see it washed away, but it's hard not to see the twisted reality under the facade of football games, whitening toothpaste and ads, media and TV shows. You could see it in the 90s already, although now it's of course so much more evident.

    There are many songs in Chris Cornell's library of musical wonders that are must listens. Please have more polls.
    A good start:
    Temple of the dog: is a collaboration of artist from Seattle scene 90s that joined Chris Cornell to record an album in honour of the life and passing of Andrew Wood (of band "Motherlove bone" ) Chris' real good friend and roommate I believe. Out of this collab, Eddie Vedder met his future band mates in Pearl Jam. A few song from their one album: lyrics and music mostly written by Chris Cornell; "Say hello to heaven", "Times of trouble", "All night thing", etc ... Please to all who know more than I, I apologize if I got any of the previous information incorrect in any way. Please free to correct me if I'm wrong and/or inaccurate.
    Soundgarden: "Like suicide", "Burden in my hand", "Outshined", "Fell on black days ", etc ....
    AudioSlave: " Like a stone", "I am the highway ", "Getaway car", etc ...
    Solo: "Seasons", "Sunshower", etc...

    Chris Cornell is regarded as one of the best vocalists of all time. His suicide may have been the reason Chester Bennington from Linkin Park killed himself two months later. I wore out my Superunknown cassette tape as a kid. Everyone always recommends the same songs (making me wonder if they're even fans), but my personal favorites are Fresh Tendrils, 4th of July, Burden in My Hand, Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart, and Taree. Even the theme he made for the James Bond movies is awesome.

    From this song its hard to imagine that your listening to "one" of the greatest singers or people that ever existed! Try "Like a Stone" from Audioslave made up of Chris and 3 members of Rage Against The Machine. "Say Hello to Heaven" & "Hungerstrike" from Temple of the Dog!!! He has an amazing cover of Micheal Jackson"s "Billie Jean" and a few others that are just as great! He is truly missed!!! A must is Alice in Chains!!!! Layne Staley is everything!!!!! Seriously everything and is also truly missed!!!! And then....Lincoln Park....Chester Bennington....another great!!! Sadly also truly missed!!!!

      For me as an average music listener i love this song. It might not be the greatest lyrical song of them, but it's meaning, the guitar riffs and Chris' voice makes it so smooth to relax and enjoy the song, even with the sad background behind the lyrics. The video is also great. Distracting and funny at the same time. Through this song i found out about Soundgarden. So it helped them a lot to give them a brighter spotlight, which they absolutely deserved, even though Grunge was clearly not about being/getting famous.

    Welcome to one of the Greatest Rock singers of all time, Chris Cornell. He's my favourite ever.
    Soundgarden was his first band, then he released a few solo albums when Soundgarden split, then he released a tribute album to his great friend Andrew Wood (Mother Love Bone) under the name of Temple Of The Dog. And then he joined up with the guys from Rage Against The Machine (minus the singer Zach De La Rocha) to form Audioslve and release 3 albums and then Soundgarden got back together to release a new album and he continued to put out solo stuff, covering songs of many artists he admired. Chris could do it all. Soulful acoustic to the thunderous almost screaming vocal and everything in between.
    Chris sadly passed in May 2017. The official verdict was suicide, just a few hours after a gig he had played with Soundgarden.
    Soundgarden have a wonderful and rich catalogue to choose from. Black Hole Sun was their biggest hit, but far from being their best song in my opinion.
    Hand Of God
    Hands All Over
    Ugly Truth
    Flower
    Loud Love
    Jesus Christ Pose
    Searching For My Friend With My Good Eye Closed
    Mindriot
    Slaves & Bulldozers
    Spoonman
    Overfloater
    Burden In My Hand
    Switch Opens
    Fell On Black Days
    Fresh Tendrils
    Big Dumb Sex
    Like Suicide
    Tighter & Tighter
    And you'll get many requests outside my choices too.
    I hope this is another rabbit hole you feel excited to dive into. Soundgarden are my second favourite band after Tool

    I spent 700+ hours compiling this list that has 2031 Artist/Bands and one of their hit songs for reactors to react to. These are some of the best songs ever written and recorded. I compiled all my playlist from the past 20 years, into a single playlist. This list had over 8000 songs from over 2000 artist. I went through every song, trying to find the best of the best. I spent all day and night working on this list for over 2 months. In the end I came up with 2031 songs by 2031 artist/bands.
    I also tried to choose songs by artist that no one reacts too. And, I still believe these are some of the best songs to ever be recorded. There is plenty of more out there, but none of these songs are bad to react to. If I could not figure out which song to choose from the artist/band I would listen to the best songs back to back by that artist/band and would eliminate the song I got tired of first. Until the last song was standing. Check out the list and react to these songs. In alphabetical order by artist/band. All Genre from the past 100 years. Every music guru should know this list.

And Mrs Lex's interpretaton is right - he wishes the Sun was a black hole and "washed away the rain" and "make us all just disappear". In place of the Sun a black hole. Simply Black Hole Sun :)
