- Sevendust covers Soundgarden's "The Day I Tried To Live"! Available now at riserecords.lnk.to/TheDayITried
LYRICS
I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade
And watch the rolling heads
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch yeah
Singing, one more time around
Might do it
One more time around
Might make it
One more time around
Might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live
Words would you say
Never seem to live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with all the other pigs
Singing, one more time around
Might do it
One more time around
Might make it
One more time…

As a Sevendust and Soundgarden fan this is ecstasy
Yes! ❤❤❤
I feel ya
Fxckin A
Hell yeah
Fr huhhhh
I can’t ever say it’s better than the original because…it’s Soundgarden. But, holy shit did 7D absolutely nail this one.
Sevendust is criminally underrated as a band. They deserve more commercial recognition than they get.
This was a decent cover of "The day I tried to live", my favorite soundgarden song. Angel's Son is my favorite Sevendust song.
Slaves & Bulldozers, Black Hole Sun, and Rust Cage are my other favorite soundgarden songs.
If you listen to Temple of the dog, I'd say Say hello to heaven and hunger strike are absolute masterpieces.
Chris Cornell ➕ is smiling wherever he is. ❤
Lajon is criminally underrated, his voice is amazing, it's like silk!
I second the motion
In fact I don't feel it's underrated. Because I'm happy that he keeps enriching the Metal scene instead of addressing a broader audience with Pop music (which is often considered as "rated as deserved").
Lajon, Steve of The Urge, Corey of Living Colour, Jimmy of 24-7 Spyz, Dug of King's X...these people have so strong soulful voices and I'm so glad they are using them for Metal, Rock or as 90s people would say Crossover.
Yes it is been a fan since they were nobody's love the whole band so underrated just like helmet is here an ice cold beer to ya
@@quietri0t Fuck yeah dude!.. I have been to many Urge concerts (hes from st louis I live in st louis helps).. Unfortunately never been to a sevendust one.. but I did buy their cds when I was in high-school.. Love em.. Praise is probably my favorite song by them.. Did like home alot and the fact that they got lead singer from the deftones on it was awesome.. ua-cam.com/video/wc_5o9gnoqU/v-deo.html
I so agree. Sevendust has never been noticed and it sickens me. They are an amazing band with songs that always grab your heart. I can't say enough good things about this band. But you know what.....They can stay underground I'm still gonna listen!!!
Sevendust should get more attention for having covered this song. Lajon as a vocalist really captured the mood & atmosphere of this song and understood exactly what would sound best, verse by verse. 🤘🏻
Way too autotunish for me.
My favorite living vocalist covering my all time favorite vocalist. I would pay good money for an entire album of Lajon covering Chris.
I'm with you 100% on this
I fully believe he is the only one capable of doing so
@@TacoCrisma Don't count out Nonpoint, or Foo FIghters, either have incredible singers and super talented musicians. Either way, a full tribute to Soundgarden is needed.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
William Miller and Corey Taylor!!! He did the tribute to Chris the weekend of, love at Rock On The Range, soundgarden was a headliner
They did the song justice and paid mad respect to Soundgarden.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!
I wasnt super impressed. Big fan of both bands. It was lukewarm. In my opinion of course.
I would’ve gone harder with bass and drums like Led Zeppelin III or Godsmack IV
Agreed. An incredible cover to one of Soundgarden's best, in my opinion. I once saw Sevendust live and was blown...
🤙🏻
Oh Sevendust, give us a cover album already.
This needs to happen at some point 🤩🤘
Fuckin right!!! A bunch of 7D covers would be sick
what else is there? links please
ummm no, give us killer new hard rock, us true hard rockers are tired of remakes
Right , jam songs and such
that part at 2:56 is just incredible. This cover is amazing. Soundgarden till death.
Oh, hell yeah!
Don't forget about Citizen Dick!😉
Yes!!!!
You had me at sevendust
This.
@@KaioshinGohan ^^That
Also that ^
^^^ALL OF THAT^^^
Also...... ^This
Could listen to Sevendust non stop. LJ’s voice is amazing.
Absolutely agree
Same here...LOVE this cover and LJ has such a strong, powerful voice!
Love it love them
I love them and love his voice but I can’t do it all the time. I do sincerely wish they got more exposure though. Years ago I remember very surprised “ooos” and “ahs” coming from the DJs when I requested 7D one time. Like, if y’all enjoy them, fuckin play them??? Lol
He’s no Chris Cornell, but who is
I've heard so many saying this and Cornell were uncoverable. No such thing, seven dust killed it honestly. They're amazing.
You are very right! He didn't try to copy the vocals, he took his own spin on it. This is a fantastic cover!
@@jimmyjunks yes, unlike what Puddle of Mudd did with "about a girl" from Nirvana
Cornell is in coverable period.
Not gonna lie this made me teary eyed.
I cried my ass off on my way home from work listening to this.
Check out end games witch trials full album after this!!!
Good I'm not alone
There's only a few songs that make me cry and this is one of them... Hurt by Johnny Cash is another.
Same here.
I would love to hear this with Chris’ vocals playing lightly in the background when he say’s, “the day I triieeeed to livvvve!” R.I.P. Chris Cornell
🙄
Man nobody could wail that shit like Chris... this is a great cover though
Instant shivers down my spine.

Anytime they come home to Atlanta he cries on stage.. The most humble front man I've ever seen 🤘
LJ's the man.
He's always voiced his appreciation for the Bham,Al fans when ever I've seen the band live. Birmingham bein so close to Atlanta, they've played a ton of shows here. The whole band does really. Years ago I worked a Call Me No One show and got to chat with Morgan and Clint. So down to earth and cool. Just regular dudes. You'd never guess that secretly they're in one of the greatest bands of all time.
LJ is a really good dude
Check out end games witch trials full album after this!!!
Seen them in Memphis years ago and he did the same thing. By far one of the most passionate front men of all time!
If there was ever a band that could cover Soundgarden with such fucking beautiful perfection, and respect.... It's Sevendust. I love these boys
I listen to this cover almost everyday now.. Thx 7D!
Very well done and timeless 🤟🏻
Mods
It's one of a small handful I put on repeat a few times in a row. I dare say it's on par with the original.
@@dark_neverland I actually like it better
@@dark_neverland keep in mind this was live ! Have you ever heard Chris Cornel live ?
It's not Chris, but they did him well... Great tribute to a rock legend! RIP Chris Cornell, long live 7dust!
Hey if anything Chris is looking from above with a smile on his face
Amen.
I don’t think any respectable band or artist tries to be the actual artist they are covering, but yet offer their interpretation of the song.
It that regard, these guys crushed it!!
@DM Kal Some try to do it in their spirit, or with their twist. Others think they just have a similar sound, and can make some money off it. Others will try to make it sound as identical as possible out of respect, or to try to do it better of ego. But yes. They absolutely killed it, RIP Chris!
@FuckUA-cam No.. no he's not. Chris was an amazing generational talent and so is Lajon tho. If anything they're equals you don't have to dis Chris to give credit to Lajon.
In my home town about 10 years ago, the house over booked a Sevendust show and the Fire Marshall showed up and shutdown the show. People were totally bummed. Although this was NOT the bands fault, Sevendust honored each and every ticket and came back and played for free. That was such an honorable thing to do. I love these guys and this cover!
Cedar rapids, iowa
@@MalusVir_ . Yep, you got it
How great is lajon's voice and 7d covered it without losing its elements....RIP chris
The passion at the climax of the song was lost IMO when he sings "should have stayed in bed"..but the sentiment was there and I don't think he wanted to dare try to match..so yeah damn near perfect.
Rip CC nobody sings like you anymore, but dam I'm sure your smiling down from heaven on this cover! LOUD LOVE! ❤
That hit my heart again and again.
Did all I could not to cry.
#SEVENDUSTHASARRIVED Chris is smiling down from Rock & Roll Heaven he would be proud.
Is proud 😇
I agree, Chris is smiling! Super Sick! Great job!!!
Thats so true chris cornell would be the happiest man on heaven for lj
Its soo faithful to the original and yet its soo Sevendust. Oh my god! What a helluva cover! Right On 7D!
Check out end games witch trials full album after this!!!
Lajons vocals have only gotten better with time. Rock on sevendust. This cover kicks ass
Late on this but holy hell .. one of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite bands. It's just phenomenal. And so well done. Thank you sevendust! Love you all.
I can't think of another band that would attempt to cover such an amazing song and man they did it justice. Amazing cover for an amazing band.
This is solid asf.
Crazy,never imagined anyone being able to cover soundgarden and make it equally as awesome as the original.
Great stuff.
Me either Darren! Bad Ass Cover!
This SG cover is like a tribute homage to Chris Cornell . Absolutely flawless. Rip Chris Cornell.
@1776 LJ has range but not Chris's range.
as good? Smoking crack. This is like probably three whole steps down from the original. Chris' range was in the stratosphere.
@@brianmannion7097 that's true,not as good but definitely cool.
Lajon is a total beast. He is one of the few that can pull of a Soundgarden song. Love it!
As a long time SG fan.. great cover.
Facts
Check out end games witch trials full album after this!!!
Amazing cover!! Sevendust scores GOLD with this one. Chris Cornell is smiling right now.
Soundgarden is by far my favorite band of all time. This cover is amazing. Very well done!!!
I'm a CC fan, haven't heard much 7D but damn this is incredible!
You need to go listen to them. Their original music has this type of feel.
I will do that
I'm in the same boat. I have a handful of 7D songs on my playlist but looks like I'm gonna need to dive deeper.
Check them out bro! They have been my favorite band sing high school (2007)
Been listening to 7D for over 20 years dude. They are iconic, but not as well known as some of the other big bands. They are AMAZING.
Thanks a million Sevendust, what a great band, what a great cover from the Great Soundgarden and the great Chris Cornell RIP.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My skeptic brain went in unsure. But it never existed at all for 5 minutes. That 3 minute 7d head bump vibe stamped it with Lajon's soulful raspiness giving Chris's voice an hug. Yeah, I'm a fan
Mad respect not an easy song to cover. Tastefully done.
One day, Lajon will be known as just as much of a legendary vocalist as Chris and that will make this that much more special.
He already is......
Jay Powell still needs a little more time.
He is in my mind
He is great, he just needs more recognition. But us true fans know...
i'm a long time SoundGarden and SevenDust fan and i got goosebumps listening to that cover and Lajon nailed it perfect Chris would be proud RIP brother
It's amazing how some songs have such a deeper meaning with the gift of hindsight. Though the deaths of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington were shocking to me at the time, over time, I have realized that they shouldn't have been. Listening to their music with the gift of hindsight, I have realized both of them were begging for help, but unfortunately no one realized it or took them seriously. Listening to this song today is so jarring, though I didn't understand the meaning of it when i first heard it. The truth is that you never know what is truly going on in someone's head. You never know how their life experiences affect their perception of reality. Both of these men had everything , yet felt that they had nothing to live for. I wish someone had truly listened to them. RIP
Couldn't put this into better words, kudos to you! They were ahead of their time in a world where nobody listens to anyone. Rest in peace, both of them.
Good way to put it.
Much respect to both bands, two of my favorites. Nice cover, Chris would be cool with it I'm sure
Awesome! I remember seeing them on a side stage in Texas back in the 90's (maybe early 00's 🤷♂️) There were less than 10 people standing around. I came out for merch, and stopped to listen. I didn't leave until they were done. I fist bumped Lajon during a song break and told them I thought they were great. Ha. Later on they became a thing. Well deserved. Hard working nice guys. 🤙
To me one of the best bands ever... so underrated... hail from Brazil 🇧🇷
You do NOT touch a Cornell song... except 7D .... wow
man they hit it out of the park with this
This is pretty good but I'll take the original over this. Have you heard this? ua-cam.com/video/9CrBqRb3VGM/v-deo.html
stone sour did it very well too
ua-cam.com/video/XZkOHqX1Sns/v-deo.html
Between the Buried and Me would disagree.
Operator would be the only other band that I think could pull of a Soundgarden song
The multiple levels of nostalgia this brings up.....
This band should be way bigger than they are! Lajon has such a powerful voice! The whole band are amazing musicians!
I was extremely skeptical when I first saw this pop up, no disrespect to Sevendust at all, but Soundgarden has a special place in my life. I have to say, you guys did this justice, really cool!!! Thank you!!!!!
INCREDIBLE! CHRIS WOULD BE SO PROUD 🤘🏻🧡🔥🔥🔥🔥
I adore Soundgarden and this song. I am floored at how great this cover is. Chris is smiling in heaven. AMAZING!!!!
Man, I am pretty critical of bands doing covers due to the fact they often don't do the original any justice. But these guys nailed it. A oppo ways been a fan of both bands. I assume Chris would have enjoyed this version. Woulda been nice to have heard his thoughts on it.
This is better than I could have ever thought. Respect to Sevendust for making an amazing and respectful cover.
There are only two things that could have happened here. This could have fallen flat on it's face. Resulting in lots of negativity. Or. Or what happened. The respect Sevendust gave this.
20+ year of amazing vocals, cant believe how amazing this sounds. the world needs to hear this!
Hell yeah!! Legends covering legends...
This is my fav Soundgarden song and these guys absolutely hit it out the park! INCREDIBLE 👏🏻👏🏻 you did Chris justice
This is fantastic. Well done gentlemen. Especially u, Lajon 👏
We need more soundgarden covers
Holy shit, I just accidentally came here from Soundgarden version and found the best singer of 2020. Please keep making Chris Cornell cover, man!(whatever you do now), I think that'll be awesome and much appreciated. Thx!
This almost brought me to tears... You guy did this so much justice
I don’t even like this kind of music really and this is insane. Opened a whole new door for me
Enjoy
Pretty sure my neighbors have heard this cover a few times, whether they wanted to or not.
The Kim Thayil homage is maybe the most unsung part of this cover
It takes incredible talent to take an already great song and make it your own. Yet another reason they are one of my favorites
What if a black girl covered it? This is all that I sing is rock.
People: Chris Cornell had such an amazing voice. Nobody can sing his songs & do them justice.
Lajon: Hold my beer
No offence but he doesn't compare to Cornell on this song.
Lmao The range of Chris’s voice on this song especially is complete insanity ... no disrespect to sevendust but it doesn’t even compare but this is an excellent cover
Didn't sing it badly, and has a good voice, but not even close to Chris. Far, far from.
nope
U mean no one will ever be able to fill the shoes of Chris Cornell an amazing authentic voiced individuals but they did a good rendition of this song with Lajons authentic sound Checkout Grey Daze amazing!!!! If noone has Chester benningtons's voice is alive
Imagine Chris and LJ together on this one. Amazing job guys.
On the background vocals, amazing
Thank you so much Sevendust for not destroying an incredible, iconic song by the greatest vocalist of my generation! You did this song justice... Love you so much for the respect you showed and still made this track your own. Special!
Sevendust killed this cover and should be proud.
Soundgarden should be proud.
Soundgarden/Cornell's voice and legacy will live on.
People must realize this is a cover.
It will NEVER be as good as the original, but its damn close and having a younger band cover your song must feel like an honor/respect/homage.
That is all.
LJ does a remarkable job with this cover!
Made my eye water. Unbelievable, my heart is on fire.
Never understand why this band isn't bigger.. them 10 years and nothing more
I am not big on cover songs or the bands that play them, but this is an exception. I remember when the song originally came out. That point in time that I reflect on where I was in my life, i was in a middle ground of choices that I had to make. Life was one of them. That song song, singer, band inspired me to keep going forward in life. My vision,of the singer Chris, was shattered when he took his own life and it was very hard to listen to anything that was from him or inspired by him. This cover hits home with me. The fact that you are struggling is a sign that there is still hope. It is only when you stop struggling, that you know all hope is lost. 7D delivered on this song.
Damn, so good - RIP Chris, this song definitely does his memory justice
This cover was executed so beyond recognition, I thought it was an original Sevendust song (had I not read the title). If that doesn't tell you just how good they are, then I don't know what will...
One word. Homage....Soundgarden is my GOAT..and these guys KIlled it!!! Been listening to SG FOR 30 years and it never gets old! Any of you Young Bucks who have dived head first in to there back Catalogue..Do yourself a favor
I think we all needed this!Thank you Sevendust!!!!
i would listen to an album like this filled with masterfull covers!!!
One of the greats covered by one of the greats. Phenomenal cover.
Out of all the soundgarden songs this one I remember the most where I was and what I was doing every time this came on the radio. Fantastic choice.
I've had this song stuck in my head all day. And it's been hitting
Great job! Have to dig deeper into 7D work now.
Plenty of good music awaits you 🤘🏻
Do it. We dare you
WUT!!!??? U r in for A RIDE 😉💚 Haha
nothing this band cant do, acoustic, hard, melody, covers and never the same thing twice, hell even this video is one of their better ones, crazy how good they are
one of the best band ever covered by one of the bes band ever. Keep on rolling please!! Thanx!!
sevendust is the only band to give me goosebumps live they are unbelievable they really touch your spirit \m/
7D can truly do no wrong. And LJ is ageless.
Two of my favorite bands coming together in a monumental way. This is a justice-doing cover and also so uniquely Sevendust. I love them even more now.
As powerful and emotive as the original. What a cover, and a tribute to Cornell.
Noone will ever do a chris Cornell song better than the man himself...but noone will ever make a cover worthy enough as this either 🤘🤘🤘 my two favourite bands versions of my favourite song. Can die happy 🤘
I first saw Sevendust upstairs at the Metroplex back in the day and was quite impressed. Soundgarden is one of my favorites... This blew me away man... Props and respect!
Lajon..... DEAR GOD!!!
The same way I feel about Chris, wow was he sexy?
Why is this band so underrated??
you must be new here... sevendust has been huge for decades...
Most underrated band on the face of this planet!
@@richardgreer7943 Why be like that? They are underrated and deserve to be huge!
@@derekdouglas910 because i dont see them as being underrated in the least. They are a highly respected and looked up to band in the undustry.
@@richardgreer7943 I agree with that, but do wish they had the bigger audience they deserve. Within the industry, total respect given. With fans, too many have never even heard of them. They are by far my favorite band, just wish more people knew of them is all.
I dont know how i never knew about this until now. But i needed this. Sevendust is one of the most underrated bands of thier era. And they definitely did justice to this song.
Lajon has been sneaky good for over 20 years ... he should be bigger than he is. Definitely a voice I try to mimic myself, this is so great guy's
Wow......
Just....
Wow!!!
Oh my god. Crying. Amazing cover, guys. I truly believe Chris Cornell would be proud 😭🤘🏻🖤
Wow, I am impressed. Chris Cornell has such a fantastic voice but this dude does a phenomenal job. He isn't try to sound like Chris but his voice just works so well for this song.
It is so well done and respectful, I am not familiar with band but I like what they did. 👍👍
Name a better Rock band ever.... ILL BE WAITING!!! One of the greatest voices to grace this planet!!!!! SevenDust for life
This pandemic is amazing for music, and I love you all for pumping out some soundtracks for this weird time 💗
Normally, I am extremely critical when another band covers my favorite song, but this is actually a good cover. Still not as good as Cornell, but Sevendust did a good job! Long live Cornell, thank you Sevendust!
Honestly Im not a Sevendust fan . But they did an awsome job on bringing this 90s classic back to life.
This guys voice is so powerful.
Always been a fan of sevendust but chris Cornell is my ultimate favorite ever but this I love this amazing job guys!!!!🤘😍💔
As a Chris Cornell superfan, I appreciate this band and their cover. As no human could possibly recreate Cornell’s vocals, this take on it is special and unique in it’s own. Rock on 🤘
Agree well said
Mad respect for this cover. Gone...but never forgotten, Chris Cornell is a legend
A world class cover. Grunge is not easily covered without leaving a shallow and bad taste in the mouth, but these guys I can imagine was real fans of this music from their young days and show it in they way they play it
