"I wasn't good in school. I didn't do sports. I sat in the bedroom and listened to records. Because the Beatles did whatever they wanted to, I took that as a kid and said, 'That's what rock is." - Chris Cornell
So sorry about your brother, I can smpithise my brother Barry Parsons passed away July 19,2019,was63.And my mom Joyce Parsons passed away November 13 2020,was82
It's truly sad. So sorry to hear this. It seems like I've lost so many friends and family just in the past few years but we have to keep keeping on I guess. RIP.

I was very fortunate to meet Chris before he passed, and I was lucky to talk to him for a while! He answered all the questions I wanted to know, and we talked about Soundgarden, his solo albums, Audioslave, and the recent reunion of temple of the dog. He was super kind, and signed a bunch of things for me. I also got one of his guitar pics! I brought Audioslaves self titled vinyl in to get him to sign, and he was super excited to see the vinyl. I told him how big of an inspiration he was to me, and how much his music meant to me. I was very nervous before meeting him, but as soon as I did I wasn’t nervous at all. He was just a regular down to earth laid back guy, and was so cool to me. I met him before his last concert on the Higher Truth tour. I lucked out and got a meet n greet with him before his set. The coolest part of the night for me was when he walked out on stage and looked into the audience. He saw me in row 2 on the floor, and looked at me and smiled and pointed at me. He instantly recognized me after just meeting him of course, so that was very cool and such an awesome moment in my life. Thanks For all the great memories Chris. I will cherish your music forever! What a True gentleman, and it was such an honour getting to meet my hero.
He gave you the most valuable thing possible on Earth....time. That's so awesome and rare. I would've probably felt even more devastated when I heard of him passing (especially the way he did) if I were you.
The term masterpiece is defined as the "piece" produced by an artist or craftsman that declares them a master of their "art." Thus by definition, this song cannot be called a masterpiece. An earlier song claims that honor. Regardless this song still remains my second favorite Soundgarden song.
I am still crying for him... I just can't get my head around this. What a gaping hole he has left behind! No one will ever fill it. He was one of a kind.
+Sean Ryan Collective Soul is a good band and make really good songs. I feel Pumpkins werent a great band as Seattle bands. However I like some tracks from Siamese and Infinite. But grunge bands are really amazing, nowadays rock scene is poor, except Rival Sons
From around '92 - '96 was probably one of the greatest rock 'renaissances' in modern history. It wasn't 'hair band,' it wasn't 'new wave,' it was something totally new and 'groundbreaking.'
A huge driver for that was small clubs and underground venues, they built those bands and the audiences that grew around them. Nowadays most of those clubs are long gone...

@The Chip Mix I don't see how that should make Soundgarden less likely to be inducted... I mean, Nirvana were inducted in 2014, and Kurt died in 1994... If they inducted Nirvana, I don't see why they shouldn't induct Soundgarden...
@@tureluur159 Yes, I think I know which clip you mean, but I believe that wasn't for the recording session for one of the albums, but during one of the last Nirvana sessions at Robert Lang studios in 1994, where Nirvana recorded "You Know You're Right"... I'm not 100% sure on this, but this is what I remember...
I would say the R&R Hall of fame would be cool but its also overrated. It's all subjective time and time again and whoever votes them in are a bunch of hipsters & hipocrats. I looked again quick to confirm but here's a list of other bands that should obviously be in there too, but aren't. So again...it truly doesn't mean jack squat and SG doesn't need that validation. Foghat, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Pantera, and gotta throw in Iron Maiden & Slayer who are all not in the inconsistent hall of fame.
I cannot tell you just how hard sometimes it is to believe it. Those 25 years passed in a blink of an eye. Like going from 26 to 51 in a heartbeat. For real… Take my advice, if you're still young, don't worry about the money, the name, or wasting your time on people who don't love you back. Because, the time really does slip by incredibly fast. Yea, I know… If you told me then, I would have said, “yeah yeah, hear it all the time…” Follow your gut, don't forget your people, and when life leads you off somewhere else, remember to return home to wherever those you call family still are. Because they are aging with or without you, and you can easily lose them before ever having spent the most important years of yours and their lives. And by then it's too late. Nothing is worth that.
I definitely pick up that Zeppelin influence on their sound. I was literally thinking that right at this moment (26 August 2022; 09:51) then saw your comment :)
My dear late husband played guitar like a rock god & loved this band. He said Chris' voice could peel the paint from the walls at top volume. Great band, great music, great times.
Was working event security in the 90's at Mississippi nights and he actually thanked me shook hands for not roughing up a over zealous fan. We are gonna miss him
The first time I saw Soundgarden was at Mississippi Nights when they OPENED for Voivod. I think it was 1990. I watched Voivod with Kim. We both just stared at Michel Langevin in amazement.
Steve G, It's really Disturbing to think that when you posted this Comment Chris Cornell was still Alive. I'll never forget the day when I heard on the radio that Chris died. I just couldn't believe it. Love this song.
bro... true that! this song hits. without fail everytime it comes on while grinding away at work. Before Chris even finishes the "F" in "Follow", i' JAMMIN' it! Man, i wish this dude was with us, but heaven couldn't get a better singer!
5 years. Its been five years since we lost our best friend. He still lives on in his music,but were in a dry desert without him. I'm sure we can all agree that Soundgarden brought us together and we may never meet in person,but we are always going to be dear friends when we meet here to listen to these,our musical hero's. I miss you Chris.
Listen to the lyrics of his songs, he was always there for us when we needed him, where were we when he needed us?!? Such a WASTE, dear Chris, I long to know that you are at peace...rest easy now...
There is a wonderful support group for this i found on facebook --it's called chris cornell/soundgarden forever. Everyone there is super nice. Its a closed groups so no trolls, once you are accepted you'll see it is very supportive.
great ,most excellent ears my friend. not many people listen to the vocals anymore not to say he does not look even better now than he did back then because for sure he does! but I can sit in the dark and just listen to him sing and he is one of the greatest of all time and I love to hear him saying with Eddie Vedder and others but hunger strikes will always be my favorite not just because that you would never singing it with you when they were in Temple of the dog but because the vocal range , they each have complements the other just like when they have sung with the who and Neil Young and many many others! I thought Scott Stapp was going to be one of them but my sister sent me a video that embarrass me for life still think she might goes video doctored it but not sure for she knows I love creed and she's a Dave Matthews fan and an addict lol makes lots of fun for holidays big sis against baby sis but loved your comment
+Ben Cochrane "Follow me": Just incredible. I always have to start the song again and blast the volume just to listen to those first two words. So charged with emotion.
I'm almost 60. Grew up with incredible singers from the 70's. Just discovered Chris Cornell a couple of years ago. Unbelievable vocalist! In my top 3 for sure. What a talent he was. This song will never grow old.
The fact that Soundgarden wasn't inducted into the rock and roll Hall of Fame the year Chris Cornell died and STILL HAVEN'T really boggles my mind. They could but it was a no-brainer 5 years ago
September 1996 - Freshman in high school. I hung with the older kids and smoked grass constantly. There were always a few pads where we could hang after getting stoned in the woods. I remember sitting on a couch in one of them, zoned out, watching this video. I liked it. I liked it a lot. In 96 we were introduced to most music through MTV (taking it for granted, thinking it had always been that way and it would always stay that way. Little did I know - like the VCR and video store - it just blew up like '82 and it would be dead in about six years). Soundgarden was huge in 94=95 and this was the first tune off their new album. As a burnt out teen who gave a fuck about nothing, this was cool. I was totally content with the content the mass media and pop culture were feeding me. This song struck me. Chris Cornell's vocals reached the highest levels I'd ever heard in mainstream music. This wasn't even raw - it was polished and perfect. Ethereal. There was no identifying with it, like we did with Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley, thinking maybe, someday we could do what they did. No. This voice was just like WOW. You were to listen and dig. Sad to hear of your passing Chris Cornell. You left behind some awesome music and it will live on. RIP brother.
+Barbara Whitton Grunge was dark music because, whether they realized it or not, they were singing rocks Swan Song. It's gone now, a few survivors around, but it will never again be the powerful force it once was.
This man had it all. Looks, talent, success, fame, respect, I'm sure he had to beat the girls off with a stick. I guess all wasn't right somewhere inside though. We all have our struggles. Even gods like Chris Cornell.
I still cannot believe we've lost the great Chris Cornell. This song is a personal favourite of mine and I had to come and watch this clip today. R.I.P. Chris Cornell. You will live on through my speakers for the rest of time.
Hands down the best vocalist of this era. What a range! Staley came in at a close second to me, but Cornell, untouchable! Thanks for the wonderful music and memories. R.I.P.
Incredible Voice, deep lyrics and a very talented musician. Probably the most original sound out of the grunge rock era. The music style with Chris's voice is mind blowing for sure. Always will love it.
Chris sings the lyrics "would you cry for me?" and all I gotta say is yes Chris we did cry. For you and then we cried for Chester. RIP Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington.
@@johnalber1704 there's absolutely no evidence any of them were working on such a film, or that they were murdered. I know it's hard to accept, but these were suicides.
This song is really neat. It makes me feel neat. The tuning of the guitar is crazy, the vocals are great, lyrics are really cool..., It brings me down... but then rubs my back until I feel better.
FYI - the tuning is not "crazy." It is "open-c:" C-G-C-G-C-E. Very common. Pretty Noose is also in open-c. Just a word to the wise. Not trying to be an asshole. If you're curious just google it.
I guess I meant rare tuning. I don''t know tons of songs in open C. I tuned to it once and it seemed strange in that the stings seemed very "flubbery" to me.
Remembering Chris Cornell….to me his passing was ( and still is ) such a tragedy. What an absolute treasure…Im so privileged to have had the opportunity to appreciate his artistry. God Bless You Chris wherever you are..and thank you xxx❤
rbagel55 "Uuuhhhh-Greeed" Brother-man, lol... Well, I actually gotta throw *STP* & *Pearl Jam* in that mix as well.. Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam & Alice in Chains :). Now THAT'D be my 90's-Rock Holy "Quad-rinity", Hahaha (XD)!!
He was just tired of this shit hole. Over time pain diminishes then you become numb. He comes from a generation of junkies & sellouts. He's in a better place. I feel the same most of the time.
@@tcb9775 very well said....the pain of being alive leads in the end to numbness and submission, unless you have a VERY strong will to prevail....it's not easy, in fact, it's outrageously fucking hard, just to keep going....
He did,as do we all, but he also had much joy. Look up his Daughter and him in a Duet of Nothing compares 2 u its beautiful and so hear breaking...Toni and Chris (Spotify)
Lilian Pituca No no, his light has not gone out. His precious soul is light & has just phased inro another plane of existence. He is closer to us all now.
Amazing music is timeless. This song is truly timeless. Could have been released today or years ago, and would still sound amazing. Thank you Soundgarden.
That song isn't about heat though... It's about a guy who murdered his girlfriend and realizes what he's done so seeks forgiveness. How many women have you killed, to have lived through it multiple times?
I have the greatest story about this song. I was kicking dope, for one of many times thru the '90's, (heroin, for non-seattelites), and on my 3rd day of misery, I woke to my alarm clock and the most beautiful summer morning, and my alarm clock was playing this song, in 1999, I think,, but I heard it from beat one) It was a beautiful sun coming in the window, combined with this amazing song that stirred me. Biggest condolences to Chris's family, and Chris, I hope you're in a better place and having done for you what you've done for me.
I got blessed with one ticket and a backstage pass to see Soundgarden at Universal Amphitheater 12/2/96 on my Birthday- I’ll never forget it. This tune brings back so many memories. I think this band will be treasured for eons after we’re all gone. They’re that good in my opinion. RIP Chris. ☮️
Years later and still too early for him. I've been binging his videos all night. Still can't believe he's gone. His vocals alone, not to mention his incredible lyrics, were par to none. He and his multiple bands had out of this world sound with gigantic vibrations when you turn the volume to exponential numbers. I only wish I could have gone to one of his band's concerts, preferably Soundgarden, but would gladly substitute for Temple or Audio Slave if I had to. R.I.P. Chris C. Your voice will never be surpassed or bested. You were only true to your words.
Chris's lyrics were dark and deep, showing a high level of spiritual awareness at an early age. To get to that level early he really must have experienced quite a few of life's curve balls. The best creative artists, in my view, are the ones who have trekked through hard times.
You are so so right. Often times it is the creative and smart people that seem to be afflicted. I love this poem; it says it all... The most Beautiful People we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Thanks Susan, what an inspirational poem. I've pinned it on my wall as a daily reminder. It gives me hope that there are still good people in the world who understand what life is about, fighting on through the struggles.
Cornell truely had a once in a generation voice. Seemed like a genuine guy too. Wanted to open people's eyes with his music and left us all awestuck as a bi-product. R.i.p.
When i was a teenager i would jam this song all the time..My mother wouldn't get mad at all she loved his voice as i did..My mom is from Mexico but has lived in the US since the 60s..I asked her why does she like it she told me that Chris's voice reminded her of Janis Joplin. I just smiled and kept listening to my Soundgarden.
I don't think he was ever diagnosed with anything, but the theme of "being a burden" was always prevalent in his lyrics. I have had some days where I felt the same, but it passes. You must reach out when you feel this way. I am lucky to have a great support network and am able to identify the onset of these feelings. I never took it seriously until one whole week it nearly drove me past whatever happens after insomnia. Deep bouts of depression should be taken seriously. Thank you Chris for your lyrics that provide solace in times of despair. You will be deeply missed.
Sounds like you've had your share and then some. I've never been as low as u have but I've been on Prozac and elavil for years and it's been what's helped me. I sincerely hope u get better cause nobody should have to live in that state of mind cause it's an ugly place. Good luck to u.
He had a prescription for psychiatric medication apparently, so he was definitely diagnosed with something- doctors don't prescribe these pills without a diagnosis.
Follow me into the desert As thirsty as you are Crack a smile and cut your mouth And drown in alcohol 'Cause down below the truth is lying Beneath the river bed So quench yourself and drink the water That flows below her head Oh no There she goes Out in the sunshine The sun is mine, the sun is mine I shot my love today Would you cry for me? I lost my head again Would you lie for me? Close your eyes and bow your head I need a little sympathy 'Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone Who isn't me Kill your health and kill yourself And kill everything you love And if you live you can fall to pieces And suffer with my ghost I shot my love today Would you cry for me? I lost my head again Would you lie for me? I left her in the sand Just a burden in my hand I lost my head again Would you cry for me? Just a burden in my hand Just an anchor on my heart It's just a tumor in my head And I'm in the dark So follow me into the desert As desperate as you are Where the moon is glued to a picture of heaven And all the little pigs have God Oh no There she goes Out in the sunshine The sun is mine, the sun is mine I shot my love today Would you cry for me, yeah? I lost my head again Would you lie for me? I left her in the sand Just a burden in my hand I lost my head again Would you cry for me? Yeah, would you cry for me?
Thanks, I didn't read the lyrics when I listened to this as a new album. I glanced at them but the good stereo was in the truck so I was usually driving. Very creative time for music. 🏜
GPT-4 has this to say about the song, and the mental state of the writer: This song seems to be about a person struggling with inner turmoil and possibly destructive tendencies. The lyrics suggest a combination of self-destructive actions ("Crack a smile and cut your mouth, And drown in alcohol") and a sense of isolation ("fear is strong and love's for everyone who isn't me"). The desert could symbolize a desolate and barren emotional landscape, and the invitation to "follow me into the desert" could be seen as a call for companionship in this difficult state. The line "I shot my love today" might be metaphorical, indicating the person has sabotaged or ended a significant relationship, and the repeated question "Would you cry for me?" shows a need for validation and understanding from others. The mental state of the writer could be interpreted as being in a dark, depressive, or unstable state, with feelings of loneliness, despair, and self-loathing. The references to the sun and the moon may represent contrasting emotions or a desire for a brighter, more hopeful state of mind. Overall, the song appears to convey a deep emotional struggle and a plea for empathy and support.

Thanks you too !

To me very Led Zeppelin- like. Same energy.

I'm still singing for him myself... One of my biggest inspirations.
Yes
Amen 🙏🏼
Every. Day, Chris. Every day.
Matt Cameron’s drumming on this album is world class. It makes a huge impact!
Yes I agree and awesome group
The bass lines on the chorus are out of this world too.
Agreed! His drumming here is amazing!
Cameron's drumming on anything always make the song what it is and his style is very hard to imitate. One of my favorite drummers for sure
So agree man. Cheers from Oz.
"Cornell had the songwriting skills of the Beatles, the weight of Black Sabbah, and a powerful voice like Mercury." - DAVE GROHL
He was everything!!
Yes i agree 💯
There are two I miss. Cornell and Garcia.
Grohl. A class-act, as always.

Hi I Recommend a song that's called 'The Bond Villain' by Robert Nix
Was working event security in the 90's at Mississippi nights and he actually thanked me shook hands for not roughing up a over zealous fan. We are gonna miss him
Damn, Mississippi Nights shout out, that is awesome, saw my first show ever there.
The first time I saw Soundgarden was at Mississippi Nights when they OPENED for Voivod. I think it was 1990. I watched Voivod with Kim. We both just stared at Michel Langevin in amazement.
I have so many great memories of that place. The early 90s was a special time.
How nice, thank you for sharing.
2partyatwill kudos for being chill security and I'm glad you got to meet him
This song is definitely one of the highlights of Soundgarden's career.
definitely
it's definitely my favourite that's for sure
Steve G Not my favorite, but that's far from saying it's not amazing haha
Steve G, It's really Disturbing to think that when you posted this Comment Chris Cornell was still Alive. I'll never forget the day when I heard on the radio that Chris died. I just couldn't believe it. Love this song.
You can tell there was a lot of darkness in his mind from music like this.
Your brain rewires the instant this song starts . It’s another place , it’s talent , precision, another galaxy . Miss all of this .
watching this video on beavis and butthead... surreal...
Chris Cornell’s higher Self is likely from another galaxy and another dimension. ⭐️ 🌌
I literally feel like I’m taken to another dimension when I hear Chris Cornell start singing…and this song just showcases that beautiful voice.
I literally feel like I’m taken to another dimension when I hear Chris Cornell start singing…and this song just showcases that beautiful voice.
bro... true that! this song hits. without fail everytime it comes on while grinding away at work. Before Chris even finishes the "F" in "Follow", i' JAMMIN' it! Man, i wish this dude was with us, but heaven couldn't get a better singer!
5 years.
Its been five years since we lost our best friend. He still lives on in his music,but were in a dry desert without him.
I'm sure we can all agree that Soundgarden brought us together and we may never meet in person,but we are always going to be dear friends when we meet here to listen to these,our musical hero's. I miss you Chris.
Just hush. So absurd.
He took his life on my birthday…every year now it hurts to grow old on the day he won’t grow any older 💔
@@marvinbeasley6346 I'm really sorry dude. That's tough. All my best
Rip Chris. Love and miss you
Brilliantly put..
This man was here for me when nobody else was, and pulled me through some tough times. R.I.P. to the greatest of all time.
Listen to the lyrics of his songs, he was always there for us when we needed him, where were we when he needed us?!? Such a WASTE, dear Chris, I long to know that you are at peace...rest easy now...
Where were we? Uh, not knowing him. Kind of hard to be there for someone who you've never spoken to.
I didnt know it was a suicide when I wrote this. I just wish I could have been there for him like he was for me.
you're dumb richard...thats all
There is a wonderful support group for this i found on facebook --it's called chris cornell/soundgarden forever. Everyone there is super nice. Its a closed groups so no trolls, once you are accepted you'll see it is very supportive.
the first note Cornell hits when he starts signing is incredible
great ,most excellent ears my friend. not many people listen to the vocals anymore not to say he does not look even better now than he did back then because for sure he does! but I can sit in the dark and just listen to him sing and he is one of the greatest of all time and I love to hear him saying with Eddie Vedder and others but hunger strikes will always be my favorite not just because that you would never singing it with you when they were in Temple of the dog but because the vocal range , they each have complements the other just like when they have sung with the who and Neil Young and many many others! I thought Scott Stapp was going to be one of them but my sister sent me a video that embarrass me for life still think she might goes video doctored it but not sure for she knows I love creed and she's a Dave Matthews fan and an addict lol makes lots of fun for holidays big sis against baby sis but loved your comment
+Ben Cochrane Could not agree more...years back i listened to the first two notes over and over for like 5-days on end...unreal.
+Emmanuel Jara jajajajajaj! genio!!!
+Ben Cochrane absolutely
+Ben Cochrane "Follow me": Just incredible. I always have to start the song again and blast the volume just to listen to those first two words. So charged with emotion.
So glad I grew up in the 90's. No one can take that away 🤘
Yes!!!!
Fuck yea!
NO THOUGHT ABOUT THAT DEFTOOL LOVE YOUR COMMENT UNBELIEVABLE AMAZING THANKS LORETTA AND HAPPY NEW YEAR'S LORETTA
With you there bud, nothing else comes close (I am biased though)
100%
I'm almost 60. Grew up with incredible singers from the 70's. Just discovered Chris Cornell a couple of years ago. Unbelievable vocalist! In my top 3 for sure. What a talent he was. This song will never grow old.
100%
Top 5
Steve Windwood
Chris Cornell
Neal Young
Lane Staley
Freddie Mercury
Not necessarily in this order.
Please don't leave out Mike Patton!
We are privileged to have Chris' music to remember him by.
gatorboymike Very near to some God of music!✌
Thank goodness we have that, it took me a long while after his death to be able to listen to him. Such a loss.
@RainbowDreams30 rest in power
Ya. It’s so sad
Chris Cornell his voice is unreal . One of the greatest of all time. Period........
.
Goat
The fact that Soundgarden wasn't inducted into the rock and roll Hall of Fame the year Chris Cornell died and STILL HAVEN'T really boggles my mind. They could but it was a no-brainer 5 years ago
@@nicholasartuso4698neither did AIC the media has been doing the grunge bands dirty for years.
I keep coming back to Soundgarden when i want to hear a voice that only comes around once in a lifetime.
No one sings like you anymore... RIP Chris, the most amazing singer-song writer of our generation...
I have that picture!
Man, this guy had an awesome singing voice.
I agree, great singer, I remember in the 90s
In my opinion, he had the greatest voice of all time. At least top 3
The Pavarotti of Grunge
To a person who speaks more of the man's voice than of his passing. Yes he has past, but with everytime we press play he is with. Right on Partner.
Jep. Layne and Chris, all alone at the top.
September 1996 - Freshman in high school. I hung with the older kids and smoked grass constantly. There were always a few pads where we could hang after getting stoned in the woods. I remember sitting on a couch in one of them, zoned out, watching this video. I liked it. I liked it a lot. In 96 we were introduced to most music through MTV (taking it for granted, thinking it had always been that way and it would always stay that way. Little did I know - like the VCR and video store - it just blew up like '82 and it would be dead in about six years). Soundgarden was huge in 94=95 and this was the first tune off their new album. As a burnt out teen who gave a fuck about nothing, this was cool. I was totally content with the content the mass media and pop culture were feeding me.
This song struck me. Chris Cornell's vocals reached the highest levels I'd ever heard in mainstream music. This wasn't even raw - it was polished and perfect. Ethereal. There was no identifying with it, like we did with Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley, thinking maybe, someday we could do what they did. No. This voice was just like WOW. You were to listen and dig.
Sad to hear of your passing Chris Cornell. You left behind some awesome music and it will live on. RIP brother.
Patrick Connolly I really enjoyed that comment. This song is his legacy. I'm 33 and my fondest memories have his soundtrack in my head...God bless bro
Patrick Connolly you forgot Shannon hoon, I bet that'll be a badass show in the afterlife
Patrick Connolly Layne Staley was one of the most unique vocalists ever though....Chris and Layne the best out of that entire decade.
does anyone else retreat back to to this kind music? BC music today sucks?
+Barbara Whitton Grunge was dark music because, whether they realized it or not, they were singing rocks Swan Song. It's gone now, a few survivors around, but it will never again be the powerful force it once was.
This man had it all. Looks, talent, success, fame, respect, I'm sure he had to beat the girls off with a stick.
I guess all wasn't right somewhere inside though. We all have our struggles. Even gods like Chris Cornell.
It all means nothing if you don't have love.
Listening to Soundgarden deserves a great bourbon to go with it. Now that's what I call heaven., A Soundgarden concert and a high end bourbon.
I used to know and Old School Hellcat named Harland. He was bad to the Bone dad. You have a kool name and great taste in alcohol and music. Well done.
The 90's.. when music required talent and lyrics where properly thought through.
I'm sick of seeing that comment. There's good music out there now a days, you just gotta look for it.
I agree, bro.
+CoDisafishy I disagree. there really is not music this good anymore. there will never be that feeling again. computers have ruined that.
headbanger2867 Well I like metal and some of the best metal is out now.
Amen
That bass line is beautiful
I have been singing this song for 25 years. I'm not even close, but I get goosebumps every time. In my top 5 for sure.
Rest in peace Chris. You're missed everyday by us your fans.
Sorely😢
So missed, such a talent.
Chris top fukin drawer. Hated alicie in chains live thrashing
But man in the box,eg, unplugged
That guy was ? Incred too
STP too
R.I.P. Chris Cornell. First song I'm listening to of yours since your passing.
Me too T_T
listen to the day i tried to live and blow up the outside world. those are two of my personal favorites
Had to blow through all of my Audioslave favorites first. Never was huge on Soundgarden, this was my favorite though.
Crystal Aggrey had to listen to right turn first
tighter and tighter is the best on this album. guitar solo is incred
I still cannot believe we've lost the great Chris Cornell. This song is a personal favourite of mine and I had to come and watch this clip today.
R.I.P. Chris Cornell. You will live on through my speakers for the rest of time.
WadeOhh Well said, mate! He always lives in our hearts n memories! ❤
WadeOhh he was the most beautiful an I've ever seen. Inside and out.
Yes Chris. I cry for you often, and every single time I hear your pain-riddled voice... I pray that you have finally found peace....
Me too. 😢
I hope before he passed he threw a nickel at a cat. That was he can enter the heaven of the three eyed toad.
With the power of His voice you feel the pain, the anger, the suffering emerging from his inner self. We ALL miss Cornell. And Soundgarden too
Hmmm pain, anger, suffering? I know all bout them but the mother fuckers ain't taken me out.....yet! Hahahahahhs
I got to see them in Seattle before Grung was popular where I live. along with Pearl Jam, and a few others. 😎
@@tonycornett7608 well lucky you!
Hands down the best vocalist of this era. What a range! Staley came in at a close second to me, but Cornell, untouchable! Thanks for the wonderful music and memories. R.I.P.
I still tear up that he is gone, he was so gifted.
I appreciate this. Both of them. Amazing. Both kill me.
Layne was awesome, don’t get me wrong. As far as top two vocalists for the grunge era, I have to go with Cornell and Vedder.
Mike Patton ftw.
@@michaelhylle I'm with you
RIP Chris...thanks for the memories......gone too early.
Rip Chris 😔 your vocal, music its Great! I love You
Incredible Voice, deep lyrics and a very talented musician. Probably the most original sound out of the grunge rock era. The music style with Chris's voice is mind blowing for sure. Always will love it.
27 years later and this song is still a masterpiece
RIP Chris Cornell. One of the best voices in rock history. You will be missed.
Historial
Chris sings the lyrics "would you cry for me?" and all I gotta say is yes Chris we did cry. For you and then we cried for Chester. RIP Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington.
Those two plus avicii. All three were collaborating on a film together to expose human trafficking when they were “suicided”
@@johnalber1704 there's absolutely no evidence any of them were working on such a film, or that they were murdered. I know it's hard to accept, but these were suicides.
Always together now- 💯
And for Kurt
Don't forget layne
This is my favorite song of all time. Chris’ voice is so powerful and has such personality behind it.
I miss you everyday Chris :(
Soundgarden is KING my dudes!
"Would you cry for me?"
I will cry for you Mr. Cornell :'(
It was a good trip... rest easy.
Everyday
That was two years ago??? Holy crap feels like it was 6 months ago
This song is really neat. It makes me feel neat. The tuning of the guitar is crazy, the vocals are great, lyrics are really cool..., It brings me down... but then rubs my back until I feel better.
FYI - the tuning is not "crazy." It is "open-c:" C-G-C-G-C-E. Very common. Pretty Noose is also in open-c. Just a word to the wise. Not trying to be an asshole. If you're curious just google it.
I guess I meant rare tuning. I don''t know tons of songs in open C. I tuned to it once and it seemed strange in that the stings seemed very "flubbery" to me.
@@davidmcreynolds325 ahhh, that's why I can never ever work out the chords!! Thank you!!!
I love this song with a passion.
Miss you Chris!
David McReynolds ahhh thank you i was having trouble remembering the tuning for this song. Thanks!!!
I rate it for me personally, as one of their very best.
Remembering Chris Cornell….to me his passing was ( and still is ) such a tragedy. What an absolute treasure…Im so privileged to have had the opportunity to appreciate his artistry. God Bless You Chris wherever you are..and thank you xxx❤
Hello Charlotte, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
This song is a masterpiece . The entire band and the video too.
If his voice doesn’t bring peace to you there is no hope
moves me so much
Now it just makes me sad
Especially, now in these troubled times of 2020 covid-19, police brutality & race riots. 🤘😷☣
There is always hope.
peace, rage, and understanding.
First Layne, then Scott, now Chris...stop taking my favorite artists man. It's like taking family.
REST IN PEACE CHRIS!
Kayla It hurts a lot. 😞
That it does. They were my childhood. they got me through my darkest days. Now, we're listening to ghosts. 😢
we need to find a way to make Eddie Vedder immortal
would you cry for me? yes Cris I did! R.I.P.
we'll put. we all feel the same
One of the best songs ever written and performed
That might even be an understatement. This is the music that the creator of all life intended for us.
Very underrated song by Soundgarden , love it 🤘
YES COOKIE BUT BEFORE SOUND GARDEN AUDIOSLAVE LIKE A STONE AWESOME LOVE YOUR COMMENT UNBELIEVABLE AMAZING THANKS LORETTA
Your a legend cookie monster

Jesus we miss you Chris...
One of my favorite bands from this period, this band and AIC
Yes! AIC is my favorite grunge band hands down. Soundgarden always amazing too.
rbagel55 "Uuuhhhh-Greeed" Brother-man, lol... Well, I actually gotta throw *STP* & *Pearl Jam* in that mix as well.. Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam & Alice in Chains :). Now THAT'D be my 90's-Rock Holy "Quad-rinity", Hahaha (XD)!!
Mitchell Moore all of those bands are truly the best
This song helped me thru the tough times. He was so talented. An inspiration to me. And will be missed but his music will live forever.
Song brings me to tears sometimes, it also has helped me.
One of the greatest vocalists ever! Heaven is lucky to have him!
This man had alot of pain. I cry for you, my friend. Rest easy.
He was just tired of this shit hole. Over time pain diminishes then you become numb. He comes from a generation of junkies & sellouts. He's in a better place. I feel the same most of the time.
Certain days alot harder than others.....specific days.....can be even tougher than those hard days.
@@tcb9775 very well said....the pain of being alive leads in the end to numbness and submission, unless you have a VERY strong will to prevail....it's not easy, in fact, it's outrageously fucking hard, just to keep going....
He did,as do we all, but he also had much joy. Look up his Daughter and him in a Duet of Nothing compares 2 u its beautiful and so hear breaking...Toni and Chris (Spotify)
Impossible to believe that today, Chris Cornell's light has gone out forever ....
Very sad, very young ....
Lilian Pituca No no, his light has not gone out. His precious soul is light & has just phased inro another plane of existence. He is closer to us all now.
I'm sure he did not kill himself
Amazing music is timeless. This song is truly timeless. Could have been released today or years ago, and would still sound amazing. Thank you Soundgarden.
If this song was released today it would bring about a cataclysmic paradigm shifting rebirth of rock music.
the vocals are untouchable. R.I.P. Chris. one of the greatest vocalists and bands
Who thinks Soundgarden was the best of ALL grunge band in their time?
Alice in Chains (with Layne on vocals) is my pick.
Layne's vocals and Jerry's HEAVY guitar riffs and sobering lyrics (some are Layne's) literally define GRUNGE.
Tough call between them and Alice in Chains. Two great bands with timeless music!
wednesday3101 Staley/Cornell? It’s a toss-up, honored to have either one front my band.
AiC, Soundgarden second. Nirvana never appealed to me, and Pearl Jam were annoying.
You left us all in the sand Chris...
And yeah, I would cry for you.
So long pal.

I was thinking the same thing brother every summer this song makes you wanna start over like it was 1996....
habe an awesome day man
@@MichaelHawke1978 salute....stay thirsty my friend!!!🕶️
That song isn't about heat though... It's about a guy who murdered his girlfriend and realizes what he's done so seeks forgiveness.
How many women have you killed, to have lived through it multiple times?
@@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid
It’s about addiction.
@@infidelheretic923 no it's not. Chris said himself on multiple occasions what it is about, which is how I knew to say that.
This is the song that got me hooked on Cris Cornell's voice! Yes, 1 of his best & most original!
We cried here on Earth when Chris left us but the angels celebrated Chris' arrival in Heaven!
I could not listen to him sing for quite awhile after his death. Bless his heart, peace.

Hold on a sec
..
I have the greatest story about this song. I was kicking dope, for one of many times thru the '90's, (heroin, for non-seattelites), and on my 3rd day of misery, I woke to my alarm clock and the most beautiful summer morning, and my alarm clock was playing this song, in 1999, I think,, but I heard it from beat one) It was a beautiful sun coming in the window, combined with this amazing song that stirred me. Biggest condolences to Chris's family, and Chris, I hope you're in a better place and having done for you what you've done for me.
Scott Sparling
All the best to you man, I hope you have been able to enjoy life clean.
Scott Sparling keep the good times rollin man
Ditto, I feel I owe this man and band a debt, they've got me through some shit times. RIP Chris X
Your lucky you got sleep if funny the little thing that can make one happy why'll feeling sick n dirty more dead than alive
Scott Sparling know ur pain all to well, chris and Layne Staily will always be held in high regard
One of the best rock songs ever created
Chris Cornell is one of the best vocalists. Massive talent and execution. Whole band.
Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam. Best grunge bands ever.
I think you misspelt Stone Temple Pilots on that last one
"Grunge" is a limiting term that pigeonholes their greatness - they're 3 of the best *rock* bands ever, regardless of bandwagon sub-genres.
@@hinjurock70 you can say that :)
No nirvana you kicked out of the grunge club
And stp
as a black guy, my friends couldn't believe i was into this music. man, the memories. Guess i was weird. i love being weird.
+43wolverine That's what is great about music man. It doesn't care about your skin pigment.
Not weird, just great taste in music.
But it's okay if you love being weird. Embrace your inner weirdness.
I got blessed with one ticket and a backstage pass to see Soundgarden at Universal Amphitheater 12/2/96 on my Birthday- I’ll never forget it. This tune brings back so many memories. I think this band will be treasured for eons after we’re all gone. They’re that good in my opinion. RIP Chris. ☮️
I'm not what you consider an emotional guy, but sometimes I just sit in front of my computer watching Chris, Layne or Kurt belt out lyrics...and cry.
Such immense losses….
Good on you to mention Layne! As good as Chris and just as sad an ending also. Kurt was a very soulful voice too.
That's what real music does. It heals. It hurts then heals again. Fan since '90. Miss you Chris. The Seattle jam band in heaven is just rocking...
Me too brother, I am now. Go review or revisit Jerry Cantrell 3 Solo albums for same affect.
Years later and still too early for him. I've been binging his videos all night. Still can't believe he's gone. His vocals alone, not to mention his incredible lyrics, were par to none. He and his multiple bands had out of this world sound with gigantic vibrations when you turn the volume to exponential numbers. I only wish I could have gone to one of his band's concerts, preferably Soundgarden, but would gladly substitute for Temple or Audio Slave if I had to. R.I.P. Chris C. Your voice will never be surpassed or bested. You were only true to your words.
Chris's lyrics were dark and deep, showing a high level of spiritual awareness at an early age. To get to that level early he really must have experienced quite a few of life's curve balls. The best creative artists, in my view, are the ones who have trekked through hard times.
Guzmicu Unfortunately he couldn't get through those times... RIP
You are so so right. Often times it is the creative and smart people that seem to be afflicted. I love this poem; it says it all...
The most Beautiful People we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Thanks Susan, what an inspirational poem. I've pinned it on my wall as a daily reminder. It gives me hope that there are still good people in the world who understand what life is about, fighting on through the struggles.
Guzmicu Thank you. God bless you.☮️
Guzmicu absolutely
Cornell truely had a once in a generation voice. Seemed like a genuine guy too. Wanted to open people's eyes with his music and left us all awestuck as a bi-product. R.i.p.
Chris was an Ace. Left us too early 😢RIP Chris 🌹
Such a sad day for those of us who love this music......
beyond sad :(
Not sad at all. Imagine if he had never came this way at all--- now that is a very sad thought. Blessings, Love and Gratitude.
stone mason but we wouldn't have known. who knows, there's probably alot of good bands that "could have happened" but never did.
Hope we see'll them all again someday...
Luckly his music did not die with him.
When i was a teenager i would jam this song all the time..My mother wouldn't get mad at all she loved his voice as i did..My mom is from Mexico but has lived in the US since the 60s..I asked her why does she like it she told me that Chris's voice reminded her of Janis Joplin. I just smiled and kept listening to my Soundgarden.
funny
Ray Villarreal. Very kool.camarada..
Ironic, because Joplin died young too.
Great singer and guitar I remember in the 90slove his singing
I agree my mom likes them also I love Chris since I was 26.

@@redskies4530 okay
What a song! Chris was the best singer of his era! RIP, master!
Down on the upside: Masterpiece.
Esteban Martínez awesomeness would better describe this album, the most accomplished album of soundgarden . RIP Chris
I don't think he was ever diagnosed with anything, but the theme of "being a burden" was always prevalent in his lyrics. I have had some days where I felt the same, but it passes. You must reach out when you feel this way. I am lucky to have a great support network and am able to identify the onset of these feelings. I never took it seriously until one whole week it nearly drove me past whatever happens after insomnia. Deep bouts of depression should be taken seriously. Thank you Chris for your lyrics that provide solace in times of despair. You will be deeply missed.
Sounds like you've had your share and then some. I've never been as low as u have but I've been on Prozac and elavil for years and it's been what's helped me. I sincerely hope u get better cause nobody should have to live in that state of mind cause it's an ugly place. Good luck to u.
He had a prescription for psychiatric medication apparently, so he was definitely diagnosed with something- doctors don't prescribe these pills without a diagnosis.
A CC lo silenciaron!!! No abierto a debate
Follow me into the desert
As thirsty as you are
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
And drown in alcohol
'Cause down below the truth is lying
Beneath the river bed
So quench yourself and drink the water
That flows below her head
Oh no
There she goes
Out in the sunshine
The sun is mine, the sun is mine
I shot my love today
Would you cry for me?
I lost my head again
Would you lie for me?
Close your eyes and bow your head
I need a little sympathy
'Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone
Who isn't me
Kill your health and kill yourself
And kill everything you love
And if you live you can fall to pieces
And suffer with my ghost
I shot my love today
Would you cry for me?
I lost my head again
Would you lie for me?
I left her in the sand
Just a burden in my hand
I lost my head again
Would you cry for me?
Just a burden in my hand
Just an anchor on my heart
It's just a tumor in my head
And I'm in the dark
So follow me into the desert
As desperate as you are
Where the moon is glued to a picture of heaven
And all the little pigs have God
Oh no
There she goes
Out in the sunshine
The sun is mine, the sun is mine
I shot my love today
Would you cry for me, yeah?
I lost my head again
Would you lie for me?
I left her in the sand
Just a burden in my hand
I lost my head again
Would you cry for me?
Yeah, would you cry for me?
Thank You ☺️
Thank you
Thanks, I didn't read the lyrics when I listened to this as a new album. I glanced at them but the good stereo was in the truck so I was usually driving.
Very creative time for music. 🏜
GPT-4 has this to say about the song, and the mental state of the writer:
This song seems to be about a person struggling with inner turmoil and possibly destructive tendencies. The lyrics suggest a combination of self-destructive actions ("Crack a smile and cut your mouth, And drown in alcohol") and a sense of isolation ("fear is strong and love's for everyone who isn't me").
The desert could symbolize a desolate and barren emotional landscape, and the invitation to "follow me into the desert" could be seen as a call for companionship in this difficult state. The line "I shot my love today" might be metaphorical, indicating the person has sabotaged or ended a significant relationship, and the repeated question "Would you cry for me?" shows a need for validation and understanding from others.
The mental state of the writer could be interpreted as being in a dark, depressive, or unstable state, with feelings of loneliness, despair, and self-loathing. The references to the sun and the moon may represent contrasting emotions or a desire for a brighter, more hopeful state of mind. Overall, the song appears to convey a deep emotional struggle and a plea for empathy and support.
