Me toooooo!!! But I'm a grown ass woman. I started as soon as Susan said "for me" & her voice wavered ever so slightly. Dammit this is amazing. Dad is undoubtedly proud as FUUUUUCK!
@@deadstar44 What was amazing about Susan was that she looked out for these guys. When they were looking for a record deal, Susan refused to take money from them until she found them a record contract that didn't screw them over. Not only that, but when Jerry was evicted from his apartment, he lived in Susan and Chris' basement. He wrote Rooster at their house.
Susan Silver discovered AIC, Soundgarden and Nirvana. She was the first to hear the original 7 song demo that would become Never mind and hooked Kurt up with an attorney to protect his intellectual property.
She’s a legend, extremely important figure in the grunge movement, seems to be a great mom and manager/friend, the AIC guys all love her to death. Absolute legend
@@MermaidMusings7 I don't know if you all realised this, but after her divorce Chris Cornell sued Susan for over a million dollars,primarily because out of resentment, she refused to return some of Chris's prized musical equipment mainly vintage guitars which she was forced to return back to him, also out of everybody that was involved in Chris's musical life,she was the only person who was excluded from his funeral service,i guess there are sometimes 2 sides to a person's personality that the general public doesn't see!
@@StacyArangael-cz1jr Why bring this up? We only know the parts that were revealed to us; none of us know what was behind the seemingly bizarre dispute. That's Cornell-Silver family business, not for us to speculate about. We also don't know everything about how the funeral service went down. Be respectful. No one's canonizing her here, so relax.
Jerry is the fuckin best, that introduction really added to the performance and loved seeing the extra context and the photos of little lily with Jerry/Sean/mike.
@@sillynelson1Nope. In addition to Jerry of course, Right Turn features Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, and Mark Arm, from Mudhoney, each taking a verse. Jerry sings the 1st verse, Chris sings 2nd verse, and first chorus, Layne sings the 3rd Verse and 2nd Chorus, Mark Arm sings the bridge and 3rd chorus. For the outro, and extended fade out, all 4 guys sing various parts creating what is called overlapping polyphony. Overlapping polyphony is when two different vocal parts, instead of following each other in turns, overlap each other. A new vocal line comes in while the previous part has not yet finished. Rinse and repeat.
@ Wrong. Cornell wanted a quick divorce and left all his gear.It was his second wife who started the law suits and alienated him from everyone he knew in seattle...look how that turned out.That greek family drained him of his money,his will to live and ruined his legacy. Suing his bandmates,talking shit on instagram...and oh so desperate for the other daughter to be a star,which aint gonna happen...sorry,but it aint. Dude hung himself to escape since he knew what that family would do to him had a devorce ensued. How over,this has nothing to do with lilly singing this song. Any hoo,thought you should know.ta ta.
A bit of a warped view. She was quite acknowledging & complimentary of Chris Cornells impact to music in the revisit of Hype documentary where she was filmed with Kim talking about Chris after his passing. Watch for yourself: ua-cam.com/video/WDh23Ogf-PM/v-deo.html
@ Man, you have some catching up to do. The divorce papers are online for you to look, so you don't have to keep repeating "I heard this, I heard that" disrespecting for no actual reason a working woman who had to raise her daughter as a single mom and, as you can see in this video, did an AMAZING job. Lily does honor her dad in her Instagram series focused on mental health, which I suggest you check out because she mentions how important Susan was for that matter. There's a ton of respectful ways you can honor a person without having to mention them constantly.
Her expressions, nostrils and upper lip area and cheeks are all Cornell especially during their same ages and phases in life. She’s got some of her mama in there too. The girl is built to kill so is her mom and can dance/move with rhythm and time. She’s definitely more than just a pretty face or celebrity child status. She’s earned and learned and overcame beyond her years. That I can definitely relate to. Managing artists for a few years now. Loves to read and self educate as her father did, and mother. Good genes indeed. Not dissing nor comparing her to others either. I despise when ppl set ppl against one another, especially when it’s adults perpetuating that psychological crap on children and teens. Like they don’t already have enough to deal with. My family used to do that, not my parents, since dad lost his mother at age ten, he understood not to pressure a child too much and mom did as well bc she seen what her elder sister endured with grandmother pushing her to be this and that, but failed to instill some confidence and in my mom. She was a good person , don’t get me wrong but even wonderful ppl are flawed. That’s why we all need God’s Grace, love, mercy, patience and forgiveness, moreover it running over and through us. It keeps the emotions evil uses to destroy and hinder us from our calling and greatness. Moreover, good mental/emotional/physical health bc believe, one affects the other. Oh my fellow peeps the lessons I had to learn and lose by the age of turning 17. I can relate to this beautiful young lady and in high school I so wanted to help those struggling bc I’ll tell you what I’ve learned. No one truly gets what you’ve been through until they’ve experienced it. That’s how you reach others. Not just arm chair or even book repetitions, and no offense to anyone doing good work to help and giving it their all. It’s just that everyone is different, every brain is different and I think that’s where we mess up with addiction and trying to motivate a child by comparing a child already with low self esteem or a product of verbal abuse and slights, it tears them down even more. They develop an apathetic attitude if not very careful and that’s hard to reach and break through. Myself, I was the fighter in every aspect. Ppl that talked and said foolish things and my aunt would tell me bc she k ew it’d light a fire under my arse and I’d prove them wrong. Even though that was my goal for MYSELF anyways. You wanna know a lil secret? Those grown goons that set bad examples for their own children, and talking stuff in front of them they shouldn’t have even been saying anyway let alone kids and teens. None of their kids they raised together graduated. I always valued my reputation, treatment of others but sometimes bc of my undiagnosed ADD, PTSD, and what got labeled as “IBS” but was much more serious, I was my toughest obstacle to overcome bc once I got something in my head, no matter how much my parents and family told me I was beautiful, dressed nicely and had a great fashion sense, still had bouts of low self esteem. Wanted so badly to join in on things but was petrified I’d make a laughing stock of myself when at the other school I’d came up in, I’d ham it up and didn’t care to laugh or make ppl laugh and participate. It’s like my issue came to a head my eighth grade year and worsened my HS years. Imagine having a digestive issue living and commenting 45/50 mins away one way to school, just to get your basic education. You’d be amazed when you’ve got the faith and will and really want something and pray, being God’s from the get-go (dedicated) yes, Chris had his as well, but I hope they lean more towards that wisdom than actions of other’s that don’t or get confused by the actions of hypocritical ppl in any fashion/situation bc they don’t represent God or goodness. But, I’m living proof of the F.O.G. and guiding intuition to go the best paths and what to avoid. Yes, I felt different and had a heart too big for my own good that got hurt bc I noticed and could comprehend more than possible. That’s rough especially around adults that kids understand things better and just trying to explain a situation with another kid to keep them from getting in trouble or myself. My parents allowed me to express that, but teacher’s said I like to talk too much and my “K” teacher said I talked back, but it wasn’t. Just trying to convey properly and not be or have misunderstandings. Yeah, I was a talker and about went mute later, lol.(My texting though, lengthy but probably from holding a lot in IRL, etc.)
I lost my grandma to cancer in January last year, I'm trying to learn to play guitar, but my left arm is mostly paralyzed, and it's been that way since I was six, now I'm twenty - nine. That makes it very challenging to form chords, but I also sing. but she was one of the closest people to me, as both a child and an adult. I met my girlfriend and told her about her shortly before her passing, we've been together for two years tomorrow, as of me typing this single handedly. I've become pretty good at doing plenty of thing with one hand since my left hand is pretty much only good for gripping things and I can't really move any of the fingers on it individually. I know that the song has a line that says: "Imitations are pale, but when I sing this, being a kid through most of the '90's, I can't help but sing this kind of like how I think Layne Staley would have, as a lifelong Alice in Chains fan, I don't really try to imitate him, my voice naturally channels that sound, like as soon as the song starts, and the vocals kick in. Thank you and God bless you, Jerry Cantrell.
Respectfully, I’d actually suggest Lily is already a star. Her Mind Wind Open series on Instagram is excellent and recommended listening/viewing for insightful and open discussions on mental health.
@@jordanfarquharson5345 ya he’s a legend, silent lucidity is an all timer. I’d still put Jerry above Chris as a songwriter but Chris is a genius also and an amazing guitarist, just a fantastic musician
My mom was dying right before my eyes when AIC rose up and released Black Gives Way To Blue. I was immersed in this album while spending the final months with my mom. This song is about that for me. I'm so grateful to Jerry Cantrell. I think All Secrets Known is the last thing I played for her on my guitar...
That is very awesome. I know she has to be proud of ya. Easily my favorite song on thst cd. And a true dedication to Layne. Dont follow would be a sweet song for lily to cover
Susan raised Lily btw. Chris abandoned her when he had an affair and cheated on Susan with the second wife. Not sure what he was thinking at the time after just coming out of rehab but he is not here to explain. It speaks volumes. Just happy he finally started having Lily back in his life towards the end of his own. What a mess created once he got a hasty divorce and married #2.
To anyone who doesn't know, Chris DeGarmo (the man playing guitar) was the lead guitarist of the CLASSIC era of Queensryche and is responsible for writing and playing on all the hits and killer songs that revolutionized a genre of music. Chris from 1982 to 1995 was one of the best guitarists around. He's been out of the limelight since quitting Queensryche in 1997. The band was never the same since.
I saw Chris DeGarmo’s name and clicked like lightning! Being a huge fan of both Queensryche and Alice In Chains over the decades, it’s a pleasure to see the two worlds meet but better still that both Jerry and Chris are known as Uncles to Lilly. DeGarmo’s legacy remains as perfect as it did at Queensryche’s peak, unlike the other members and his departure from music over the last 20 years has just added a fascinating mystery, myth and legend around him. I’m so glad Jerry and Chris have been buddies for ages. Both men are utter gentleman and such fine contributors to the heavier yet melodic arts.
There is a popular proverb in spanish that says "lo que se hereda no se hurta" which means "what is inherited is not stolen". She honors hers brilliant and good hearted parents and hers brilliant and crazy uncles. Lily is just amazing. What a a future she has.
What a beautiful intro by Susan Silver to her daughter Lily as she stole the show. Lily is the best of both parents. Beauty, brains and compassion of her Mama and talent and voice like her Papa. Full Circle indeed. 💙💙💙
Imagine having Jerry Cantrell and Sean as your uncle? I know she lost her father but she is also blessed to have so many amazing, cool and funny uncles to look after her. What an incredible voice and talent.
She probably looks at will as an uncle too because he joined the band when she was just like 5 yrs old so he’s been around most of her life, you can see it in the picture with her on Will’s back, mike too has been around her entire life. I’m sure Jerry and Sean are the closest tho because they’re very close with Susan and have been since well before Lily was born but I’m sure she considers the whole Band like uncles to her. They’re were probably very proud of her for this performance especially after losing you dad and you know Susan is extremely proud of her daughter. I really hope we get to hear more from, it’s pretty clear she is very talented.
She wouldn't know any different, she was born into it having always been that way, so most of the wow-factor would be taken for granted simply by virtue of not having the loser-ass drunkard, unemployed, wholly untalented uninteresting LOSER of an uncle like, say, myself. Of course I'd be like "fuck yeah!! Jerry Cantrell is my uncle!!" Meanwhile, she's just like, 'oh yeah, uncle Jerry. He plays guitar I think.'
Choked up when mom said “take it away baby”...tears rolling down my face as soon as Lily got the first line out. Beautiful, just beautiful. And uncle Chris watching over her in the background, playing along in a blur, letter all of the focus be on her. Awesome.
Wow, she crushed it. Had no idea the eldest Cornell daughter had this much talent. Would love to see and hear much, much more from this song goddess. Amazing!
She has a lot of Chris’ expressions. She is better than her younger half sister. Not being mean. Just pointing out the obvious. The younger should consider another line of work.
VERY nicely done. She definitely has her father's genes. Keep it up honey - you have a beautiful voice just like your dad did. And WELCOME BACK CHRIS DEGARMO!!! Been FAR too long brother.
Susan beaming with soo much pride and that "Take it away Baby" followed by Lily's sweet little smile slayed me ❤❤❤ Oh man, Chris Cornell had the ultimate genetic code that passed his gift effortlessly unto his family. Adding to those gifts here comes the paragon that is Susan Silver providing grace and pose and wisdom to this gem of a kid who despite all the hardships, Lily is truly blessed and has grown to become a very exceptional young lady. Keep on keeping on ladies. Susan, sharing your input is always a pleasure. Lily, you are a treasure kiddo and may God continue protect you from the dangers that Hollywood and fame can provide. This is probably a tired expression but man, Chris must be soo damn proud ❤ Rest in Peace Grunge Masters, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell and Mike Starr. Thank you.
Not gunna lie, tears streaming on this one. I could see the ghosts of Layne, Mike, Chris, Kurt, Andrew as well as many members of my own family who've passed on over the years appearing and watching, smiling faintly as the song concludes... then fading back into the void to once again become mere memories. Spectacular job, Lily.
I loved Queensryche in the 80's and feel they lost the heart of their music without his songwriting after Empire. I knew he was a private pilot, will look him up again if he's back in music!
Well I can't say it's common for me to be sitting on my couch alone and crying while watching youtube, but goddamn if this didn't get me. In a million ways, wow. Everything about this is absolutely incredible. Thank you all for making this happen.
@lilycornellsilver I have watched this many times over the years since you released it. You are ridiculously talented and humble, just like your Dad. So happy we have your angelic voice to appreciate!
Wonder if he will stay retired forever. He did a little work on one AIC song but that’s about it and it’s because Jerry really wanted him to and they’re buddies.
This moves me on every level...what a great introduction and keeping the love on AIC...and while the song was for Layne, how ironic, tragic, and beautiful that Lily had the courage and poise to sing this song...I mean...its a relevant to her and her dad as it ever was to AIC and Layne. Beautiful voice Lily and perfect cover. Follow your heart and keep your eye on the blue out there
That was a very moving version and wonderful to see Lily out there performing. If you close your eyes you can hear some of Chris's soulful vibrato in her voice.
Holy crap , i was just gonna comment about the similarities. The vibrato, how she scoops into notes and fades out of them. Soul can't be taught! Beautiful
Nothing simple about it, talented young woman covering one of the greatest and most beautiful tribute songs that also applies to her because of losing her dad. Emotional performance and she totally rocked it, there is nothing simple with thinking this is amazing because its definitely fantastic.
I've probably listened to this about 20 times. It's so appropriate of her to sing this, considering her heritage and history. Absolutely beautiful! Hope to see more of Lily in the future.
Jerry's explanation had an indelible effect on me last year during an extremely tough time in my life and has not left me. Now, Lily has her own podcast where she has different guests on with the overarching goal of getting mental health issues out into the open, to decrease the negative stigma of these issues before it's too late. If you've taken the time to read all this, please take the time to share this video and explanation of what Black Gives Way to Blue means. Please share it with anyone who is struggling, and equally as important, with caretakers or loved ones of those who have struggled, or are struggling, with someone suffering from Depression. And, thank you so much, Susan, for the contents of your introduction. I'll always be able to use this concept for healing.
Great that she referred to Chris DeGarmo as an uncle too!! What an unbelievable childhood this young lady has had being around the greats!!! Great to see Chris on guitar here.....I sure do miss him he's one of my all time guitarist and song writers!!!!
Amazing! I haven't seen Chris DeGarmo in ages! Queensryche were the original Seattle scene!! I have loved Queensryche since I was like 10, and 'Operation: Mindcrime' is the best hard rock concept album EVER MADE.
Your father is looking down from heaven with such pride. My heart is breaking still at his loss but his legacy shines through in you. Loud Love. Karyn Warwick UK 🇬🇧 xx
When we scan the horizon of all the people who have tragically passed~this song~this singer~and all the bands she represents~I cry deep tears. "Every word I said, is what I mean..."
I love Lily's voice. There is such a warm and slightly underlying raspy tone that reminds me of her dad yet she has her own unique voice. It's beautiful.
Such a beautiful soul you are Susan, I can see how fitting you and Chris were, and this beautiful gem you both brought into this world is such a treasure, just like her dad.
This always leaves me in tears. The emotional highlight of the highlight of 2020. I also appreciate they included Susan's beautiful introduction speech, it's part of that magic moment. All people involved (musicians, editors, sound people ...) did such a stellar job on this show, I watched it three times in its entirety already, it is truly something special.
Damn. I'm crying like a baby. Chris was my fav musician and AIC my fav band. I had no idea Lily was Chris' daughter and was connected to AIC. My mind is spinning. And that song ... I felt her connection to every syllable. What an amazing, moving tribute. Well done by all.
Sooo good to see Chris DeGarmo again!!! I distinictly remember Layne dying during a time in my life when I was really struggling. I sent a donation with a heartbroken letter to the Eastside Recovery Center and got a letter back, a few months later, from his mom. It meant a lot to me.
Beautiful. If you’re ever feeling down, remember you happened to be alive at the right time to experience Chris Cornell, now his daughter, and Alice In Chains’ music.
the fact that she called him Uncle Jerry warms my heart so much, Alice in Chains has been through so much and their music continues to help ppl during their personal struggles.
this whole thing-- from Susan's speech to Lily's performance-- is magic. it gives me such a sense of peace & emotional release, which I'm often lacking, especially in times like these. I'm so glad they shared this moment with us because I feel like I could fall into it forever.
If this was on the Grammy stage it would’ve stolen the show. Damn shame real music has been forgotten.
Everyone needs an Uncle Jerry
And an uncle Chris! Queensrÿche baby!
But most of all her Dad Chris Cornell.. 😔🙏
Yep!..Operation Mindcrime...See ya Jerry😁😁😁😁
Had one and I miss him.
Gonna tatoo this comment
She is definitely a Cornell. Chris Cornell would be so proud of his daughter, I am.
Oh my heart! 😭 Jerry wrote this song for Layne, and now Lily is singing it for her dad. 😭 ❤️
Very nice to see Chris DeGarmo.

Nothing *nothing* in this video indicates she's more talented than any random person. F.
No cris daugther
Her daddy may be gone, but this shows he left behind some real beauty in the world, apart from his own music. :')
Like to hear Chris DeGarmo first time since 20 years
Chris DeGarmo is very underrated, he is one of the best guitarist in the history of rock and metal...
finally some love for chris degarmo!! i miss that guy sooo much. once he left queensryche, IMO; they fell off.
He's also a great songwriter. He wrote Silent Lucidity.
@@jordanfarquharson5345 ya he’s a legend, silent lucidity is an all timer. I’d still put Jerry above Chris as a songwriter but Chris is a genius also and an amazing guitarist, just a fantastic musician
He also did some guitar work on degradation trip which kinda makes it more meaningful at least to me that he did this.
He's a fantastic player and song writer. Queensryche was the very first band I ever saw live (opening for Def Leppard).
My mom was dying right before my eyes when AIC rose up and released Black Gives Way To Blue. I was immersed in this album while spending the final months with my mom. This song is about that for me. I'm so grateful to Jerry Cantrell. I think All Secrets Known is the last thing I played for her on my guitar...
My condolences, that's a beautiful story :(
I can relate & The meaning for this Song is for me, Sadly The same 💔Your Story...No Words.. Apart from
My Condolences & Hauntingly Beautiful 🙏💕
What a cool son you are. I have much respect for that.
That is very awesome. I know she has to be proud of ya. Easily my favorite song on thst cd. And a true dedication to Layne. Dont follow would be a sweet song for lily to cover
My Condolences ♥️
The spirit of Seattle rock is still alive.
This was absolutely beautiful. Susan Silver and Chris Cornell raised such a talented woman.
Slow down
The next youngest daughter is awesome as well
@@douglassnodgrass7002 Not Chris'.
Susan raised Lily btw. Chris abandoned her when he had an affair and cheated on Susan with the second wife. Not sure what he was thinking at the time after just coming out of rehab but he is not here to explain. It speaks volumes. Just happy he finally started having Lily back in his life towards the end of his own. What a mess created once he got a hasty divorce and married #2.
She's probably closer to the Vedders than her dad. But I think her mom raised her very well indeed ❤
No lie, this here made me cry. Chris DeGarmo is a saint for agreeing to accompany Lily for this one.
what a bummer, after so much waiting wish there was more of Chris?
To anyone who doesn't know, Chris DeGarmo (the man playing guitar) was the lead guitarist of the CLASSIC era of Queensryche and is responsible for writing and playing on all the hits and killer songs that revolutionized a genre of music. Chris from 1982 to 1995 was one of the best guitarists around. He's been out of the limelight since quitting Queensryche in 1997. The band was never the same since.
I saw Chris DeGarmo’s name and clicked like lightning! Being a huge fan of both Queensryche and Alice In Chains over the decades, it’s a pleasure to see the two worlds meet but better still that both Jerry and Chris are known as Uncles to Lilly. DeGarmo’s legacy remains as perfect as it did at Queensryche’s peak, unlike the other members and his departure from music over the last 20 years has just added a fascinating mystery, myth and legend around him. I’m so glad Jerry and Chris have been buddies for ages. Both men are utter gentleman and such fine contributors to the heavier yet melodic arts.
INcase some of you didn't know that Chris DeGarmo became a professional bush pilot in alaska for the last 2 decades + ....
There is a popular proverb in spanish that says "lo que se hereda no se hurta" which means "what is inherited is not stolen". She honors hers brilliant and good hearted parents and hers brilliant and crazy uncles. Lily is just amazing. What a a future she has.
Can't get any cooler than that...Having Alice In Chains as your uncles.
I reckon having Chris as Dad is cooler.
@@El-wc5hl Being raised by all the grunge bands in general is the most badass thing
And I suppose she must talk to the pearl Jam guys a lot too...so f*cking cool
@@jacinto1477 It's mentioned somewhere she's close to Eddie Vedder (they did one podcast together too)
@@definitelynosebreather Yes Eddie Vedder has always been like a second father to her.
This is one of the most beatiful songs I will ever know. She looks so much like Chris, it makes me cry. Him and Layne would be so proud!
They are proud
Chris DeGarmo the great.............R I P Layne
What a beautiful intro by Susan Silver to her daughter Lily as she stole the show. Lily is the best of both parents. Beauty, brains and compassion of her Mama and talent and voice like her Papa. Full Circle indeed. 💙💙💙
An amazing performance by Lily and also reminds me what an amazing song writer Jerry is.
Best of both parents? GTFO...Chris was untouchable.
I hear her father so much, in both his children.
I think Chris proved he had brains and compassion. Lily is the best of both her Mom and Dad.
It was absolutely perfect, I cried hard when she says this is one of lifes beautiful full circles.
Such a tender songbird. Her parents and crazy uncles must be so proud.
The world needs to hear a whole Lily's album.I hope it happens soon.
Very much agree. Lily is wonderful!
Imagine having Jerry Cantrell and Sean as your uncle? I know she lost her father but she is also blessed to have so many amazing, cool and funny uncles to look after her. What an incredible voice and talent.
She probably looks at will as an uncle too because he joined the band when she was just like 5 yrs old so he’s been around most of her life, you can see it in the picture with her on Will’s back, mike too has been around her entire life. I’m sure Jerry and Sean are the closest tho because they’re very close with Susan and have been since well before Lily was born but I’m sure she considers the whole Band like uncles to her. They’re were probably very proud of her for this performance especially after losing you dad and you know Susan is extremely proud of her daughter. I really hope we get to hear more from, it’s pretty clear she is very talented.
They are not her uncles .
She wouldn't know any different, she was born into it having always been that way, so most of the wow-factor would be taken for granted simply by virtue of not having the loser-ass drunkard, unemployed, wholly untalented uninteresting LOSER of an uncle like, say, myself. Of course I'd be like "fuck yeah!! Jerry Cantrell is my uncle!!" Meanwhile, she's just like, 'oh yeah, uncle Jerry. He plays guitar I think.'
This is too relevant to her situation. I can't watch this anymore. I'm tired of crying.
Respect, Lily.
Much Love 💜
Right! I've cried so many tears that they now seem artificial but don't feel that way!
Susan speech was beautiful. She talks with so much respect and love about them
Come back to us, Chris DeGarmo we need you.
Amazing. Love seeing Lily sing this song written about Layne and also understanding how it applies to her life with the loss of her father. Beautiful!
Well they didn't mention Chris at all. Was this recorded before or after his passing? Because if it was after I figured they would've mentioned him.
it was written with several loved ones passed in mind, including Mike Starr.
@@Gerovision didn't Starr die AFTER the song was written.
@@ComaAlpha yep
@@ComaAlpha they showed the statue of Chris right before his family had their spot to reminisce. This tribute was about AIC and their memories.
She sang that perfect. straight from the soul, no unessecery riffing or effects. That's the best way to sing in my opinion.
They cut it from the stream but afterwards, she picked up the piano and smashed it to the ground
Choked up when mom said “take it away baby”...tears rolling down my face as soon as Lily got the first line out. Beautiful, just beautiful. And uncle Chris watching over her in the background, playing along in a blur, letter all of the focus be on her. Awesome.
Chris was her father!!!
@@garryguenther4113 Chris demarco (the guitarist behind Lilly) not Cornell
Uncle Chris!? For real!?😂
Y’all kill me! LOL!
“Duncle”
Chris degarmo from queensryche is playing with her. That’s who they mean uncle Chris.
I also want to share how much RESPECT I have for Susan Silver.
Rockstar father, bunch of Rockstar uncles, mother is the manager of huge rock bands.....she is just made for it
Crazy how much she sounds like her dad. Only at a higher octave.
Susan beaming with pride - so pure. Lily’s performance is just beautiful. Great moment amidst an entirely stellar production.
Wow, she crushed it. Had no idea the eldest Cornell daughter had this much talent. Would love to see and hear much, much more from this song goddess. Amazing!
Watch her podcasts. She's a natural listener, brings it out of people...
Her interview with Eddie V is a great example.
@@jlwilder8436 I absolutely despise Vedder, but I may check it out.
@Derek Daniel Why does it matter, does it bother you?
She is a Cornell after all.
She has a lot of Chris’ expressions. She is better than her younger half sister. Not being mean. Just pointing out the obvious. The younger should consider another line of work.
VERY nicely done. She definitely has her father's genes. Keep it up honey - you have a beautiful voice just like your dad did. And WELCOME BACK CHRIS DEGARMO!!! Been FAR too long brother.
Susan, got a lot to be proud of in Lily. Amazing performance. Every time I see Lily, I see her Dad, too. May she carry on.
Susan beaming with soo much pride and that "Take it away Baby" followed by Lily's sweet little smile slayed me
❤❤❤
Oh man, Chris Cornell had the ultimate genetic code that passed his gift effortlessly unto his family.
Adding to those gifts here comes the paragon that is Susan Silver providing grace and pose and wisdom to this gem of a kid who despite all the hardships, Lily is truly blessed and has grown to become a very exceptional young lady.
Keep on keeping on ladies. Susan, sharing your input is always a pleasure.
Lily, you are a treasure kiddo and may God continue protect you from the dangers that Hollywood and fame can provide.
This is probably a tired expression but man, Chris must be soo damn proud ❤
Rest in Peace Grunge Masters, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell and Mike Starr. Thank you.
Not gunna lie, tears streaming on this one. I could see the ghosts of Layne, Mike, Chris, Kurt, Andrew as well as many members of my own family who've passed on over the years appearing and watching, smiling faintly as the song concludes... then fading back into the void to once again become mere memories. Spectacular job, Lily.
That was beautifully, poetically written. Thank you for such a soulful comment.
Man Seattle had talent in the 80's and 90's
Her daddy must be so proud 🥲, I love this ❤️
She's awesome, and how great is it to see Chris involved in music again?!
DeGarmo's been doing stuff with his own daughter as well periodically.
He's one of my all time favorite guitar players and pilot!!!
@@dudeling2000 DeGarmo played guitar on one track in AIC's Rainier Fog album
@@marylupo3656 Not just that but he's an amazing songwriter
I loved Queensryche in the 80's and feel they lost the heart of their music without his songwriting after Empire. I knew he was a private pilot, will look him up again if he's back in music!
Well done, Lily! I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Well I can't say it's common for me to be sitting on my couch alone and crying while watching youtube, but goddamn if this didn't get me. In a million ways, wow. Everything about this is absolutely incredible. Thank you all for making this happen.
Ikr 😭 its so beautiful tho 💕💔
so beautiful
Purely magical
I feel it too
Tears all over....Cornell's daughter playing on an Alice In Chains song with the ex Queensryche god after images of Layne Staley .....
@lilycornellsilver I have watched this many times over the years since you released it. You are ridiculously talented and humble, just like your Dad. So happy we have your angelic voice to appreciate!
Chris DeGarmo was my hero growing up. Simply an amazing guitarist and song writer. I miss him being in music!
Agreed, although I also respect him for stepping away and starting a different career.
Wonder if he will stay retired forever. He did a little work on one AIC song but that’s about it and it’s because Jerry really wanted him to and they’re buddies.
same here
What a bummer, after so much waiting wish there was more of Chris?
This moves me on every level...what a great introduction and keeping the love on AIC...and while the song was for Layne, how ironic, tragic, and beautiful that Lily had the courage and poise to sing this song...I mean...its a relevant to her and her dad as it ever was to AIC and Layne. Beautiful voice Lily and perfect cover. Follow your heart and keep your eye on the blue out there
What a bright young shining star miss Lily Cornell Silver is!
That was a very moving version and wonderful to see Lily out there performing. If you close your eyes you can hear some of Chris's soulful vibrato in her voice.
Dazzy Cosmo yesss!
I heard it instantly!
I heard it too!
Holy crap , i was just gonna comment about the similarities. The vibrato, how she scoops into notes and fades out of them. Soul can't be taught! Beautiful
You don't have to close your eyes, she looks almost exactly like him at that age. ❤️
I got chills. Beautiful voice, she didn't fall far from her tree (Chris Cornell)
The feels gave way to tears...great job.
Her Fathers legacy. Bless you Lily. #ChrisForever.
She’s got one hell of a bright future in front of her. Between Uncle Jerry & Chris as well as herself. There’s some beautiful music yet to come.
Maybe my taste is simple but that was nothing short of amazing to me.
It was really good.
Nothing simple about it, talented young woman covering one of the greatest and most beautiful tribute songs that also applies to her because of losing her dad. Emotional performance and she totally rocked it, there is nothing simple with thinking this is amazing because its definitely fantastic.
DeGarmo is legendary
The intro by Susan is so pure and beautiful. Lily's singing is just as beautiful. Love everything about this.
Just like her Father Chris Cornell she is a true talent. If you listen you can def hear that Cornell trait of vocal talent that Chris had.
1. She has a beautiful voice, knocks it out of the park.
2. It's so nice to see Chris DeGarmo playing again (even if in a limited capacity).
I've probably listened to this about 20 times. It's so appropriate of her to sing this, considering her heritage and history. Absolutely beautiful! Hope to see more of Lily in the future.
I'll just say "Someone must be cutting onions close by", because I won't admit it's just my own damn glands.
Im 56 and just listened to this for the first time....and cried.
Thank you!
Jerry's explanation had an indelible effect on me last year during an extremely tough time in my life and has not left me. Now, Lily has her own podcast where she has different guests on with the overarching goal of getting mental health issues out into the open, to decrease the negative stigma of these issues before it's too late. If you've taken the time to read all this, please take the time to share this video and explanation of what Black Gives Way to Blue means. Please share it with anyone who is struggling, and equally as important, with caretakers or loved ones of those who have struggled, or are struggling, with someone suffering from Depression. And, thank you so much, Susan, for the contents of your introduction. I'll always be able to use this concept for healing.
Beautiful, my heart's broken, thanks Lily, thanks AIC, thanks MOPOP
Looks like a young Chris Cornell sitting there. Lily this was pure raw and emotional and you did it so effortlessly, like you been singing forever!
Great that she referred to Chris DeGarmo as an uncle too!! What an unbelievable childhood this young lady has had being around the greats!!! Great to see Chris on guitar here.....I sure do miss him he's one of my all time guitarist and song writers!!!!
Amazing! I haven't seen Chris DeGarmo in ages! Queensryche were the original Seattle scene!! I have loved Queensryche since I was like 10, and 'Operation: Mindcrime' is the best hard rock concept album EVER MADE.
Your father is looking down from heaven with such pride. My heart is breaking still at his loss but his legacy shines through in you. Loud Love. Karyn Warwick UK 🇬🇧 xx
Beautiful rendition... and not enough love here for Chris DeGarmo - LEGEND.
im sure Chris would prefer it all goes to Lilly.
@@13christbane Absolutely. Chris is the very definition of a class act.
This moved me to tears, which is a welcome catharsis. Thank you, Lily.
Same
Same...💜
Can't stop crying... Thanks Susan, real woman...
This song made me cry when it was about Layne and it made me cry again just now when it was about Chris.
When we scan the horizon of all the people who have tragically passed~this song~this singer~and all the bands she represents~I cry deep tears. "Every word I said, is what I mean..."
I totally agree and I absolutely love the "Slaves And Bulldozers " reference. Dare I say that this is better than the original. So good!!!!!
I love Lily's voice. There is such a warm and slightly underlying raspy tone that reminds me of her dad yet she has her own unique voice. It's beautiful.
Woooow, that explanation of “Black gives way to blue” is beautiful, Jerry is the man
Her voice has an awesome natural tone. 💖💖
She has a touch of blues. Like her father.
It was so emotional to see Chris De Garmo back again 🥺🥺
Great Performance Lily Rocks ♥️
Such a beautiful soul you are Susan, I can see how fitting you and Chris were, and this beautiful gem you both brought into this world is such a treasure, just like her dad.
This always leaves me in tears. The emotional highlight of the highlight of 2020. I also appreciate they included Susan's beautiful introduction speech, it's part of that magic moment. All people involved (musicians, editors, sound people ...) did such a stellar job on this show, I watched it three times in its entirety already, it is truly something special.
Agreed 100%.
This was amazing. Cornell’s vocals are amazing. Runs in the family
can anyone else see Chris smiling at that moment 😭
Damn. I'm crying like a baby. Chris was my fav musician and AIC my fav band. I had no idea Lily was Chris' daughter and was connected to AIC. My mind is spinning. And that song ... I felt her connection to every syllable. What an amazing, moving tribute. Well done by all.
She sings like her father ❣️🤗 ❤️✨
Yep. She's a sweetheart too. She looks just like her Daddy.
Lily! Your papa is so proud...
Sooo good to see Chris DeGarmo again!!! I distinictly remember Layne dying during a time in my life when I was really struggling. I sent a donation with a heartbroken letter to the Eastside Recovery Center and got a letter back, a few months later, from his mom. It meant a lot to me.
Lily is incredible in so many ways and I feel so lucky to be able to experience her entry into both the mental health and music worlds.
Beautiful. If you’re ever feeling down, remember you happened to be alive at the right time to experience Chris Cornell, now his daughter, and Alice In Chains’ music.
I had always thought of Black Gives Way to Blue as kind of like how a bruise changes colour...that over time, things slowly get a little better.
Just like AIC's songs, other things they do take on multiple meanings which is why I love them
That introduction killed me inside, I indeed broke.
the fact that she called him Uncle Jerry warms my heart so much, Alice in Chains has been through so much and their music continues to help ppl during their personal struggles.
A grown man....crying. Me.
Amazing! Susan did a fantastic job raising her. What a beautiful, talented young lady.
this whole thing-- from Susan's speech to Lily's performance-- is magic. it gives me such a sense of peace & emotional release, which I'm often lacking, especially in times like these. I'm so glad they shared this moment with us because I feel like I could fall into it forever.
