Saw a few talking about how Chris died or who is responsible. Talking "Chris was murdered"?! HTF would you know? Did your friend tell you? Your many years of experience as a homicide detective?? Or just blowing s*** out of your ass? His family may not read these comments but I bet they find their way back to the family. Don't be that A- Hole.
12-14-95. My only brother took his life in the same manner as Chris. He was 35. Best guy you would ever want to know. Handsome, smart, kind and generous. Unfortunately, I discovered his body. Fortunately, my parents did not. Some wounds will never heal. Thank you for sharing your music with all of us Chris, and thank you Chuck for being my big brother. God bless you both for eternity.
Far out...I can only imagine....I feel totally ill & sad...strong man Mr Jeffries...I'd be ruined to find anyone passed...RIP Chris & Chuck, hopefully they are up in heaven hanging out together xxx
So sorry for your loss really i am...it the most painful thing life will hand you , that of an immediate family member,and you are right it will never heal...all you can do is cherish the good times you had with him and be thankful for the time you had... I truly wish you and your family well... I lost my oldest son over a year ago and it is a tough road ...stay strong as you can..Its all that you can do
"A poet is an unhappy being whose heart it torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: "Sing for us soon again;" that is as much as to say. "May new sufferings torment your soul." - Søren Kierkegaard
What a great quote, I don't know if you are a poet or writer or where you found this but I feel it is so appropriate for most of the singer/songwriters we have lost in the last 20 years. Thank you for posting.
I feel this may be the other way around. As to say a poet is a happy person surrounded by the unhappiness of the world. One soul can only take so many abominations before it reflects the things around it
truth.... especially with regards to this song. Askin him to sing this song over and over likely had an effect to sink him deeper and deeper into the despair that led to the composition of this beautifully tragic piece.
I prefer this version. His emotion, the way he emotes, the way he sits in the stool, the way he strokes the strings on his guitar, the way his face is blackened out, the intimacy I feel from this man delivers a beautiful message about the song that he is singing. I listened to this during the eclipse and it made me feel like I mattered and didn't matter at all..and that all things matter in the grand design. The blackhole sun purifies me.
Actually, "Black Hole Sun" signifies heroin drug use. It's the very moment when the drug is injected intravenously and goes person sees nothing else but what looks like an eclipse of the sun b4 they feel ecstacy from their injected dose and black out!!
w0w sie como uma música escrita a mais de vinte anos atrás pode ser tão atual falando sobre o ecoimo das pessoas q cada un só pensa em si mesmo ?cris cornel gênio sensível e talentoso seu lugar e nun lugar melhor do q aqui e eu sigo porque teho q seguir ,mais estamos cada vez mais podres de tudo esteja en paz !!!aleluia!!!!!
For all the people bitching about the video quality...Look at the upload date. In 2007, 720p was still pretty new, and most commonly used computers at the time couldn't handle it. If you can't watch it, just listen.
It's not a voice.... It's a blessing. F'ing insane song with more meaning than you and I will ever know. I miss this departed soul every day. If you ask me, he got out of here just in time.
I listen to this at least once a day. I've been in that deep, dark place called depression before.... I'm so sorry to you Chris, your wife and your beautiful girls that you couldn't find a way out. Depression is a real bitch. Your music is now your legacy, and I will treasure it every day that I'm alive. Thank you for the memories Chris, RIP.
This is one of those special songs that when you hear it for the first time, it’s the only thing you listen to for the next three or four days and I love it.
The music of the 90's was dark and depressing, but helatiously moving. I was struggling with depression and couldn't take a long listen to as it would send me in a spiral, but damn if it didn't hit me where I lived.
He has passed since your comment and yes. One of the all time greatest musicians from the past 30+ years. Soundgarden also aged more gracefully than a lot of their contemporaries of the times

And while most will remember him as the bare cheasted rock god with a powerhouse of a voice that he was and had, Chris Cornell in my heart and mind will be at his purest in this video. An immensly talented singer songwriter with only his voice and guitar, singing one of the most uniquely beautiful songs of our time with a pair of sandals nonetheless. Thank you for everything brother, you made an impact on my life without even knowing it, and were one of the main reasons for my decision to pursue a life in music, and I will be forever grateful. At the same time devastated but privlieged to have witnessed your talent, till we see each other some day.
Whenever I get depressed I go to Chris. He knew how I feel every time. Every time it’s there. Songs that don’t make sense with meaning in the feeling. Sad tears in my eyes-tears that don’t come out anymore. Feeling in my gut that just won’t go away. People thoughtlessly taking not giving. Entitled depravity. Selfishness in the center. Ugliness. I have been crucified with Christ.
Chris Cornell will never die out. His voice is a beautiful gift to us . Both hard and acoustic . I remember when his first song hit mtv. I was like wow he is a sexy beast and a killer voice. Then he started to do acoustic stuff after Temple of the dogs and it made me love him more. Him and Eddie Vedder can sing almost anything.
It's so sad that Eddie lost his best friend to the Queen of Collections. Listen to "Comes then Goes" on Gigaton by Pearl Jam. It is so true and so sad.
I can't believe it...Chris died...God I must be dreaming...Oh no...we lost one of the greatest artists of all time...I know his voice will remain forever in our hearts. Rest in peace, Chris Cornell...
i cried when I found out, It was my birthday. Ive known his voice for as long as I can remember, Thankyou for uploading, Bless all who love him, bless his family, I cried, writing this. pick your favorite soundgarden album guys, play it, rite now, in his honor. Badmotorfinger~turns phone off~clicks play~the world can wait~I have something beautiful to do Thankyou Chris Love, Nicky
every day, him and jeff buckley, waves rolled over him, and he was gone too. Chris was always out of this world. Every song of every album kills it. Every day, man.
Chris was one of the best rock lyricists of all time in addition to having one of the greatest voices in all of rock. So sad about the loss. Long live him, RIP.
*My UA-cam Comments Five Months Ago* This is my favorite way to hear Chris Cornell: singing alone with his acoustic guitar. If you like this, too, I highly recommend his Songbook CD. I saw him on his Songbook tour twice and would've seen him every night of his tour if I could have. I hope he continues to do solo work and solo tours, even when he has Soundgarden things going on. I support all of his music. He is a living legend! ~Musical One Owner & Manager of the Chris Cornell Community on Google+
Chris lives on my friends, or we would not still be here talking about him and enjoying this great acoustic version of Black Hole Sun. I still play his songs every day on guitar, and passed his music on to my daughter who loves his music as well. Rock on Chris.
hardly been underrated as one of their top if not the top listened to songs by soundgarden. If you listen to interviews it was highly rated by all of his peers in the day as a new yardstick to measure their own material by.
Man. I guess you don't really realize how much you like someone till they are gone. I was certainly a fan. I'm a 44 year old white guy. I was not prepared for how bad I feel that he is gone. We lost a voice of a generation. You will be missed R.I.P. C.C.
Evidently whomever made the video does not, because it credits Chris Cornell of Audioslave at the end. That's a bit like saying "Paul McCartney, of Wings"
I remember hearing this song for the first time in the spring of 1994 when I was just turning 25... Would do anything to live that summer over again.... The music, the love, the fun...
Thank you Mr. Chris Cornell. Hope you are making music on the other side as well. I wasn’t born when this song came out, but I can relate so much through his singing and the lyrics. Get goosebumps every time I hear this song or play it on the guitar.
Thank you very much Folaholic for posting this video, I keep coming back to it every now and then. A guy and his guitar, and a voice gods can only dream of.
P.S. in defense of Fola Romero: People, can you not appreciate the masterfulness of this song despite the low video resolution? Grow up and look past it to Chris' brilliance! Fola, thanks so much for posting this.
I'm actually super depressed. there's been about 1 million new views in just over 36 hours... idgaf anymore because the reason for that is absolutely horrid.. being reminded every second that he committed suicide😥😞 plus flooded with hundreds of comments. but Chris Cornell was my hero as a teenager ( I posted this when I was 17).. still is now, and I won't get over this anytime soon.. and I'm glad so many others feel the same way about beautiful Chris.
my reason's not 'horrid' ~~ I somehow missed him.. bad years?..~~ and after hearing the kudos of strangers & the NYT & as a depression sufferer, I wanted to hear him~!
Fola Romero I was listening to some of my most favorite Chris songs this past weekend. I so badly wanted this news to be a hoax. Chris' soulful voice and songs will stay with me forever.
It's utterly heartbreaking :( Just wanna say thank you for uploading this. I'd always load up this video and just chill out throughout the years but never did I expect to be watching with my heart as heavy as it is. Just can't believe it
The black hole you left in our hearts will never heal, Chris. You are sorely missed. At least you played for your fans before checking out. That's very nice of you. Thank you for getting me through my teenage years. You were an awesome human being and a very phenomenal artist. Rest easy, friend.
Chris was awsome in all those bands and in solo. Both bands were 2 of my favourites bands of alltime. They had great names (and it's rare) with significant and simple meaning (thanks to Chris) and amazing songs that sounded like no one else. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ua-cam.com/video/YJqmsXd8QH4/v-deo.html&t
I was fortunate enough to meet Chris about 10 years ago at the music studio I was interning at. He was performing a solo show in Cleveland that night so he came to record a podcast for AP Magazine that was upstairs from the studio. He was very friendly. I shook his hand and told him I love everything he's done. I sat and listened intently as he spoke about his life and the history of grunge/his entire career. It was magical. He was a magical person. Such a goddamn shame we lost him. RIP to one of the greatest voices/artists music has ever known.
I was in my mid-twenties when "grunge" rock started in the early 90's. I listened to a few of the bands - Soundgarden was one. It was his voice that sold me on the band. So much power, range, and it hit home with me. Then it was the lyrics, and finally the music itself. Well time goes on and things change - I lost track of time and Chris' music slipped away from me. I'd only recently re-discovered him, going back through Audioslave and finally his solo work. I never thought his passing would affect me the way it has. Thank you, Fola, for sharing this with us. It means a lot to many of us.
My idol is gone, there hasn’t been a day that’s gone by that I haven’t missed him and the potential for future songs and albums, by god I cried when he died, I still cry when I hear certain songs of his because he touched my soul through his music like he did several others, he was by far one of the best singers the world has ever heard or ever will heard
As someone who's spent the last 6 years actively trying to sing to accompany my guitar playing, I find it hard to wrap my mind around someone being able to sing so well, so easily, and so naturally. Chris Cornell, you should've stuck around, there aren't too many like you.
I was a 90’s teen. My then bf loved this song when it came out. Until today I’ve never bothered to actually listen to the lyrics though I know then by heart. Chris was a talent unmatched. His death was a tragedy. We needed many more years with him. All the greats are taken from us too soon. I hope I get to meet him in Heaven. RIP amazing man.

Did your friend tell you?
Your many years of experience as a homicide detective??
Or just blowing s*** out of your ass?
His family may not read these comments but I bet they find their way back to the family.
Don't be that A- Hole.

I miss him too but chasing shadows won't bring him back.
And how long have you been a suicide investigator?

That’s what made him special , he was a bit different from everyone else.

Wow Todd, I hope not mate re honest men...yes I agree with your relevance comment though re lyrics...

What do you need to make one of the best videos on youtube? A guitar, a microphone and Chris Cornell. RIP :'(
said it all right there
and you forgot to say "and an epic voice" also
Didnt need to - he included Chris in the list and he didn't go anywhere without his epic voice
word
Verdade cara falou tudo
When he sings “In my youth I prey to keep” when he hits the “I” you get a quick short blast of the powerful Cornell pipes!!! One hell of a voice.
This is one of those special songs that when you hear it for the first time, it’s the only thing you listen to for the next three or four days and I love it.

He has passed since your comment and yes. One of the all time greatest musicians from the past 30+ years. Soundgarden also aged more gracefully than a lot of their contemporaries of the times
In my eyes, indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake

that vocal solo at the end still gives me goosebumps... just amazing.
how can anybody hate this mans voice. distinctive and extinct, beautiful, takes me to that place. loved you Chris your art your songs
I miss listening to him without utter sadness.. I know that day will come again, somewhat, but it will be a while!
This is an amazing acoustic performance of this song.
That guy from Audioslave did a decent job on this Soundgarden song.
You should hear the guy from Temple of the Dog sing it.
+Edmond Brown you know he's the same guy right?
Evidently whomever made the video does not, because it credits Chris Cornell of Audioslave at the end.
That's a bit like saying "Paul McCartney, of Wings"
+Edmond Brown Its probly just cuz he was in Audioslave at the time they recorded this, and Soundgarden wasn't reunited yet.
It's like comparing apples to a pile of shit.
I remember hearing this song for the first time in the spring of 1994 when I was just turning 25... Would do anything to live that summer over again.... The music, the love, the fun...
Me too and I had just turned 35 that summer.. No internet, no cellphones, less bullshit
Thank you Mr. Chris Cornell. Hope you are making music on the other side as well. I wasn’t born when this song came out, but I can relate so much through his singing and the lyrics. Get goosebumps every time I hear this song or play it on the guitar.
Thank you very much Folaholic for posting this video, I keep coming back to it every now and then. A guy and his guitar, and a voice gods can only dream of.
P.S. in defense of Fola Romero: People, can you not appreciate the masterfulness of this song despite the low video resolution? Grow up and look past it to Chris' brilliance! Fola, thanks so much for posting this.
Linda Hermer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 not to mention the year this was filmed was probably a decade ago.
awesome version. he sang from his heart and soul and it was truly felt. RIP and blessed journey
This video should be declared a national treasure. I need it to be there...always RIP Chris
Artist are always drawn by the life of pain, it’s the only way we can ever deal. Just ask Hemingway. A man like this gave life meaning. A true artist
I'm actually super depressed. there's been about 1 million new views in just over 36 hours... idgaf anymore because the reason for that is absolutely horrid.. being reminded every second that he committed suicide😥😞
plus flooded with hundreds of comments.
but Chris Cornell was my hero as a teenager ( I posted this when I was 17).. still is now, and I won't get over this anytime soon..
and I'm glad so many others feel the same way about beautiful Chris.
its sad but death sells
my reason's not 'horrid' ~~ I somehow missed him.. bad years?..~~ and after hearing the kudos of strangers & the NYT & as a depression sufferer, I wanted to hear him~!
We mourn together.
Fola Romero I was listening to some of my most favorite Chris songs this past weekend. I so badly wanted this news to be a hoax. Chris' soulful voice and songs will stay with me forever.
It's utterly heartbreaking :( Just wanna say thank you for uploading this. I'd always load up this video and just chill out throughout the years but never did I expect to be watching with my heart as heavy as it is. Just can't believe it
It's really hard to find any fault in this, so don't even try. Just sit back and enjoy the sweet bliss of what is everything Chris Cornell.
The black hole you left in our hearts will never heal, Chris. You are sorely missed. At least you played for your fans before checking out. That's very nice of you. Thank you for getting me through my teenage years. You were an awesome human being and a very phenomenal artist. Rest easy, friend.
Listening to Chris pour out his all with that soulful voice then hearing the video end with that god awful yahoo soundbite lol
Chris was awsome in all those bands and in solo. Both bands were 2 of my favourites bands of alltime. They had great names (and it's rare) with significant and simple meaning (thanks to Chris) and amazing songs that sounded like no one else. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ua-cam.com/video/YJqmsXd8QH4/v-deo.html&t
When I listen, I feel such an aching sense of loss. Hope you're at peace. Thank you.
No one sings like you anymore....... R.I.P Chris Cornell
I was fortunate enough to meet Chris about 10 years ago at the music studio I was interning at. He was performing a solo show in Cleveland that night so he came to record a podcast for AP Magazine that was upstairs from the studio. He was very friendly. I shook his hand and told him I love everything he's done. I sat and listened intently as he spoke about his life and the history of grunge/his entire career. It was magical. He was a magical person. Such a goddamn shame we lost him. RIP to one of the greatest voices/artists music has ever known.
My dad cried when Chris Cornell passed. I put this song on at a pool hall not thinking about that and he shed a tear once again.
NO ONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE!!!! BLACK HOLE SUN CAN COME, BC TIMES ARE GONE FOR HONEST MEN!!! CC SPEAKS THE TRUTH!!
AICNOLACHICK He said the song isn't about anything lol
tarantulady Funny, cause black holes are nothing. ;)
I know he said it has no meaning but I think of layne staley when he says no one sings like you anymore lol
I feel that too. Just listened to Rooster. And it still gives me chills...
CC speaks the truth? You mean Cannibal Corpse? OMG!!!😱😨
I was in my mid-twenties when "grunge" rock started in the early 90's. I listened to a few of the bands - Soundgarden was one. It was his voice that sold me on the band. So much power, range, and it hit home with me. Then it was the lyrics, and finally the music itself. Well time goes on and things change - I lost track of time and Chris' music slipped away from me. I'd only recently re-discovered him, going back through Audioslave and finally his solo work. I never thought his passing would affect me the way it has. Thank you, Fola, for sharing this with us. It means a lot to many of us.
Greatest song i ever heard, and i've heard almost everything at my 60's ..........
My idol is gone, there hasn’t been a day that’s gone by that I haven’t missed him and the potential for future songs and albums, by god I cried when he died, I still cry when I hear certain songs of his because he touched my soul through his music like he did several others, he was by far one of the best singers the world has ever heard or ever will heard
One of the greatest voices to ever be in music. R.I.P Chris
Tragic passing. 😢 Rest In Peace to a rock icon and incredible human being. Had the pleasure of seeing him perform two weeks ago. Damn. 😪
6 years gone today… forever missed 💔
No one will ever be able to match chris's voice so unique...you was and always will be cut above the rest I hope you found peace my friend
Chris’s voice is so beautiful but breaks my heart. His voice, for some reason, makes me think that this is what Heaven sounds like.
This version of this song washes over me like warm river water.
His voice... it's one of a kind, once in a lifetime. RIP Chris x
Love this song 🌔
tears coming...
Beautiful Chris u will be missed..❤
"sometimes the noise gets too loud"
RIP....LUV..
💜🎶🎸🌟

I was fortunate to see him play at Roseland on May 9 1992. 25 years ago....... amazing. He will be missed. RIP.
As someone who's spent the last 6 years actively trying to sing to accompany my guitar playing, I find it hard to wrap my mind around someone being able to sing so well, so easily, and so naturally. Chris Cornell, you should've stuck around, there aren't too many like you.
If this version of this song doesn't touch your soul, nothing will.
"No one sings like you anymore" R.I.P. Chris Cornell another legend gone
Who is cutting onions? Fuck. Rest in peace. :(
I was a 90’s teen. My then bf loved this song when it came out. Until today I’ve never bothered to actually listen to the lyrics though I know then by heart. Chris was a talent unmatched. His death was a tragedy. We needed many more years with him. All the greats are taken from us too soon. I hope I get to meet him in Heaven. RIP amazing man.

I love this version, it so beautiful. No one sings like you anymore 😪😪😪😪😪😪 RIP Chris. You will be missed😪😪😪😪😪😪
Beautiful. Sent chills down my spine
Rest In Peace Chris. You were and always will be a legend.
1st time I seen this was at Lalapalooza 1996 in Rockford, Il. It was awesome!!!!!!!!!
He has come but he ll never leave. His voice and music stays forever as a deep feeling in our hearts
