When he died i had to sit down. I texted my wife that he had passed. She texted back "im sorry for your loss" which i couldn't help but think was sarcasm. So texted "shut up im serious!" And she said "im being serious". I felt bad cause she really knew how much i looked up to him as a singer and songwriter. It made me appreciate her more.
U said it best brother....I listened to him my whole childhood with aunt....she was my mother and father and Chris made everything just right....I STILL AND ALWAYS WILL MISS HIM....BEST EVER
here is my dilema, they were so so so great and unique, but look how bad it ended, so I admire the musical stuff, but u get so hooked on how good they are, that u leard from their lives too. The point is that you either learn from their mistakes or follow them. They had it all and nothing at the same time. Not sure if makes sense what im saying, but as I suffer from panic attacks and drepresions is, that i follow this people and look how they end... and yes in the other hand I could only try to admire the music and thats it. moving on, but as i said before, u get hooked on them too.
His voice is so full of soul and wisdom.. like he's experienced so much pain that you can hear and feel it. It's so beautiful at the same time. It's sort of indescribable.
I saw Chris live 3 times with Soundgarden (for the reunion tour) and 2 times solo and also Chester live with LP maybe 2 or 3 month before his death, just one freaking year away from Cornell's one :-(. 2 of my favourite singers and Artists. 2 great voices that went away but are still there with us everyday. Keep safe and rocking friend and if you have time come check the new song I posted with R&O, would love your views on it : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kXsua5jVNtQ.html
I've been watching and listening to him with Soungarden, Audioslave, Temple of the dog plus the purely solo experience.he's very talented, awesome, gorgeous, creative,etc.etc.etc.A most beautiful man.
She can do anything at all Have anything she pleases The power to change what she thinks is wrong What could she want with me yeah Wait just one minute here I can see that she's trying to read me Suddenly I know She's going to change the world She's going to change the world She's going to change the world But she can't change me No, she can't change me She has the daylight at her command She gives the night its dreams, yeah She can uncover your darkest fears Make you forget you feel them Wait just one minute more I can see that she's trying to free me Suddenly I know She's going to change the world She's going to change the world She's going to change the world But she can't change me No, she can't change me Suddenly I can see everything that's wrong With me yeah What can I do I'm the only thing I really have At all But wait just one minute here I can see that she's trying to need me Suddenly I know She's going to change the world She's going to change the world She's going to change the world But she can't change me No, she can't Change Me 🖤
ChazUBCS Seriously Chris, what the fuck happened? So damn sad. I've been watching and listening to pretty much only him since he passed and I probably will be for quite a while too. His story ended too soon.
As someone who has suffered suicidal tendencies since I was 12....he had a moment he had a million times before - and this one got him. It's as simple and as heartbreaking as that. I'm sorry I can't give you more. That's it.
For a guy who wrote harmonically complex songs, I always thought this a real high point of Chris' solo stuff. Beautiful and complex harmonically , but sounds deceptively simple because you can sing the melody.through the changes. It's like all great jazz standards and Beatles songs.
Dave Kay this whole record is full of deceptively-simple, complex songs. Songs with so many unorthodox chord changes and left turns, anyone else would have left them a messy chord-salad. Pick up a guitar and play along... Miss you Chris ❤️
@@xy5844 if you can't listen to all forms of music and not appreciate a version of it your not a fan of music. Your a fan of Now music and top 40 bullshit.
I never knew you, I saw you only once at an acoustic concert on one of the coldest days in my city. You were sitting with your guitar and a couple of candles as a backdrop. Your voice illuminated the stage. The lyrics of your songs were the warmth for that chilly night. Remembering you today on the day of your death makes me very melancholic, like remembering an older brother who is no longer here, a friend who left without saying goodbye. Now that I am a father, I show your songs to my son so that he can have the same friend that I will always have since you will be immortal in my memory.
Chris Cornell changed the world.. for the better... Im so sad today.. feels like I lost a close friend... thank you Chris for the gift you gave to us.. your music is timeless and will live on in our hearts...
I remember hearing this on the radio when the song was first released. I liked it then, but all these years later it's like a drink of cold fresh water when compared to so much of the crap that other "artists" release. Thanks, Chris, for all the great music you made and continue to make.
How many times i watched this video at my parent's house. Can't believe it was 18 years ago. Feels like yesterday. Thank you mr Cornell for your music and your spirit
It’s so sad that he isn’t with us anymore, I remember hearing about his death at a time where I hardly knew who he was. Now that I know how great of a musician he was, it makes my heart sink to think that someone so great is gone now.
Nathaniel Badger one of the best male vocalist , I'll agree, and so does EVERY major label, magazine, paper, I mean come on how can you say under rated when the man is on every single top vocalist list that anyone puts out. So , yes I agree one badass singer. No not under rated. He's a perennial top 10 vocalist every time they, meaning anyone, comes up with a list ranking them.
So sad to say goodbye to such a great artist.. Grew up listening to Chris and he's always provided a great escape route for me with his music. I've always felt that I wasn't alone when I heard him sing, and that the evolution of his music has helped me grow throughout the years. It's hard to say if there will be someone talented enough or brave enough to fill his shoes... RIP Chris, you will be greatly missed.
He’d be with Chester, he wasn’t so close to Kurt Kurt was difficult to get along with. He chose to be with courtney because they both felt like the world was against them but in a different way than Chester and Chris. They were more stable more educated dare I say they had families that at that time were considered normal like my family hence my 30 year addiction but been clean since my abbususive mother died and now I see clearly what could have been if she’d not lived so long. I got a 1st at st Martins college where Damien hurst , Pulp Blur etc went but had no self belief no dream. Talent flounders if you had no mum or even a sister backing u. Kids need one person to believe in them then they will fly. Kurt had nobody but his aunt did help a bit his mum /dad did too. He wasn’t kicked out for good aged 13. The british police found me a thousand miles away in Victoria stationer asleep outside the police station because I was frightened I’d get raped again or beaten robbed , even my shoes had been robbed. I found someone who took me in and put me in school. My mum said she had no missing daughter when police rang her. I was 13. Can you imagine what that felt like? Well I heard Black hole sun years later when I met the love of my life Michael Miller. Yup jimmy millers son. He was homeless in London when his dad was working with primal scream on Screamadelica I watched them record in Olympic. Bobby made me inject him because he had no clue how to back then. He had a habit but had Yes Men who did everything for him. Jimmy loved their musicality he gave rocks that stones feel but they Should I write a book? Are any of you writers? I’m talking this to a friend now as I’m not good at typing but I lived with a lot of bands that were huge back then because I worked for the,m. I’m never a slag never slept with any of them i was with Michael till he died from his problems. Please someone help me get Michael Miller jimmy Miller and my story out there. We seen so many amazing things partied with nirvana soundgarden Tad mudhoney loads of U.K. bands, backstreet boys ? Can anyone be interested in a 50 year old who lived alongside these guys?
@@ahippy8972 Hey there! I stumbled across you story. I refer to that as 'Happy Accident! I believe we have alot in common. Adult child of an Alcohol. Abused through out my childhood and last but Not least, burdened with 3 decades of opiates. I would appreciate hearing from you! Truly!! Til then......
Im not the type of girl to be like "hey that guys hot" but damn I always had a HUGE crush on Chris. One look and I would absolutely melt. RIP I hope hes found peace wherever he is out there in the universe
2018 over a year since this awesomely gifted man left us and I honestly don't think I'll ever get over the incredible sense of loss. He was unrivalled imho. I hope he's at peace; no more pain. But we, his fans, will remain heartbroken forever. RIP genius...xxxx

With headphones on, eyes closed, listening to the lyrics, I get chills through my whole body as each verse passes. Beautiful song, poignant lyrics, awesome melody. A++
He’s one of the few artists I’ve listened to that gives me chills every time I listen to him. At least the recordings immortalize his talent for everyone to hear, that’s the best part.
I am happy because at least when my children or my grandsons ask me who was my favorite artist I will answer Chris Cornell. Rock in Peace dude, thanks for everything... the world is a worse place now without you, but I understand that you were too good to stay in this place anymore.
I'll shall NEVER get tired of watching this video. Mind, body & soul, Chris Cornell was my idea of Perfection, as well as a musical genius.. Gosh, THOSE EYES.....
Beautiful face, beautiful voice, beautiful songwriting. He had it all on surface but nobody and no amount of recognizition could ever change how tortured his soul was within consumed by the deepest darkness. Depression is hell, its sickness can sour on all of us and we must lend that helpful hand to those suffering to offer the glimpse of light to hold on, trapped in the loneliness of their despair.
I remeber watching this when it was released on MTV. Probably the very first contact with Chris that I had... was about 11 yrs old or something. Still remember that momment, still remember the feeling of amusement even though I couldnt rly understand what was I seeing and listening to. Chris Cornell, the underrated best rock n roll singer of all time.
What a fucking masterpiece. The song and video are so good on so many levels. When Live 105 played this yesterday during their Chris Cornell tribute hour, I definitely got teary. RIP Chris Cornell.
Omg.... He is so fine! I don't personally know him but I want him to greet me in heaven. His lyrics speak volumes to my soul. It's A need and it's bad.
HOW was this NOT a big hit? When it first came out it had awesome drums, lyrics. Sound and vocals. The guitar has a sitar quality to it. Its one of my favorites. Were people expecting Soungarden? The Beatles proved thst change is the KEY to successful music. The drffetent time signatures , the sitar like guiar ? Was it just ahead of its time ? R.I.P Chris Cornell , u took a musical direction change that only those that understand the true beauty of music would get!! Brian Wilson did it also and it nearly destroyed him! On a side note but related, the same damn thhing happened to the Beastie Boys when the changed direction with " Pauls Boutique " ANOTHER album that was ahead of its time ! R.I.P Adam.....
Chris, Nothing could change you OR the thoughts that were in your head the day you left us. You had it all BUT the DEMONS in your head Won. Hope your finally at piece 🖤
@@mustangmikep51 Evil forces in this world took Chris (and the others) away from us too soon, either way. And if only there was a next time ... at least in THIS dimension. 🥰✌️🕉️🎶
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 our last video from our 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' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i1fVRW6z3n4.html and Happy new year
Never heard of Soundgarden? I assume by now you have listened to all of their albums, especially Superunknown (in my opinion their best and in the top 10 albums of all time) And then there's Audioslave you must hear. Much great music to catch up on, sir!
+Barry Schoolcraft Don't worry. Right after this was released I got fully caught up with Soundgarden. I agree that Superunknown is 70 minutes of bliss. Also Audioslave's work is excellent, especially the first album.
What I meant was that I hadn't heard of him before he released this song. I went back and listened to his work with Soundgarden and was blown away. Audioslave was also excellent.
It broke me when I heard the news to me he was the one that stood out, above that Seattle wave, the last! of that genre of music, and possibly my favorite one of all... Just a man and his music, sos
Considering Chris Cornell did the title song for the Casino Royale film, this song really has another 'Bondish-feel' that would have suited another Daniel Craig movie really well!
Especially the lyrics "She's going to change the world, But she can't change me" referring to Bond trying to find a long term relationship with someone who understands him although he will never back down from his Secret Agent status lifestyle :)
I remember seeing the making of this video on MTV when I was like 8. I knew then I was witnessing something unparalleled and magical. R.I.P. Chris Cornell
i agree orangequartermusic,chris is the best of all,even bigger than paul mac cartney, and i am a beatles fan! how could i live without black hole sun,steel rain,sunshower or part of me...simply the best!
