Chris Cornell Walmart Soundcheck AS HOPE AND PROMISE FADE 

One man, his voice and a guitar. The entire billboard hot 100 can't touch this

World is a sadder place without him

“Now the ride is over, it’s hard to say goodbye”... it’s hard to say goodbye, Chris...

I miss him more than all the rest...

Cornell's voice is just straight up God tier. If you disagree then good for you. You're just wrong.

This has to be a top 10 all time performance of any song ever.

R.I.P. = Return If Possible

I could listen to this man all day and night. Incredible voice!!!

That song…Pierced my heart my soul. Beauty and pain intertwined. Timeless and soulful like he was. Thank you for the music and poetry you created for the world to feel and appreciate.

So versatile. Metal, grunge, soul, blues, ballads, and more. His tenor yelps are famous, but what a bluesy baritone with those glissando notes.

How are there 52 people who dislike this. I need to speak with them. Who hurt you?

for some reason, out of all his acoustic songs, this one is by far the best of the best in my opinion

Such a Beautiful haunting Bliss. Lyrics: As hope and promise fade And the sun forgets to rise I'm lonely and I'm thirsty But it's better I stay dry Never more than two drinks away from crying Stare into the glass And wait for the time to pass I thank you for the offer But you know I must decline Never more than two drinks away from crying There used to be a time when I could hold my head up high My life laid out before me And rivers flowed with wine I had my love beside me and everything was fine Now the ride is over, it's hard to say goodbye As hope and promise fade And midnight turns to day Well I'm lonely and I'm thirsty But I cannot tell a lie Never more than two drinks away from crying

No one sings like you anymore. That voice... angelic.

Been an alcoholic for 2 years now and this song always makes me cry. So much beauty in the lyrics I want to be just like Chris I am a guitarist and songwriter and he is my biggest aspiration. I’ll overcome this addiction but this song is so beautiful and haunting. I am always 2 drinks away from crying. Rest In Peace Chris

Hurts as much today as it did 4 years ago. R.I.P. CC

That is the sound of a man in a lot of pain, doing all he can to find peace through his music. R.I.P., Chris. May your music touch the souls of other people, for whom Hope and Promise Fade every day. You deserved so much more in life, and unfortunately nobody ever truly gave it to you. May your next life be kinder on you, and may people treat you well now that you have passed.

Unbelievable talent. Surely one of the most underrated and underappreciated Artists - with a capital A - of all time. Music is going through a terrible phase, where every song is made out of plastic and everyone only thinks and cares about how good every singer or band looks. Now that this man is gone, I can say that almost all hope is lost. Thank you for all you left the world, Chris. You were and will always be one of my heroes.

Now the ride is over Time to say goodbye Rest In Peace Chris

I didn't require 2 drinks today to be crying all day and night I have lost a piece of my heart and soul and my thoughts go out to his wife and children

Chills every time I come back to this masterpiece

Still feels like crying. Voice of an angel, no one else but him who left too soon.

Chris Cornell and his guitar is the 5th element! What's crazy is his voice didn't sound this good until you remove the drummer, electric guitar, and bass. Pure haunting beauty at it's best.

God damn what a voice

Cornell is Jesus. Full stop

The most beautiful voice that I ever heard. There was absolutely nothing that Chris couldn’t sing. So happy God gave us Chris as long as He did. Miss and love and will always be in our hearts ♥️ R.I.P. Beautiful Keeper 🙏🏽🕊 Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and God Bless🙏🏽 Can’t help but cry when I hear his beautiful voice♥️

Probably the best song i have ever heard. The pain in that scream in the end is chilling

Beyond genius and into a realm of incandescent sadness and beauty God I miss this man Greatest of all time

Crushed that this GREAT VOICE is gone !!!!

Wish you still here 😪

just sitting here... litsnening to all the great music of this man... appreciating the talent and beauty and tragedy that is Chris Cornell. His music (to me) is timeless. But, I have to ask.,, am I the only one that listens to CC about every other day? Does this hit me too personally? I ask myself, Why? I have no familial, or personal connection. but, only through his music. That angst, tempo, melody, and unmatched structure of his voice.... to me, this man will always be MY JOHN LENNON. I mean no disrespect to John Lennon. Really, it is a testament of the quality of his own musicianship that those like JOHN LENNON, JIMMY HENDRIX, JANIS JOPLIN< KURT COBAIN, JIM MORRISON, AlLBERT KING,,... Hell I could go on. But, Chris Cornell, this voice of a generation, was also speaking of the myriad of people who DAILY cope with their own demons. He had only the best and most beautiful way of placing his own pain and personal darkness into song that only he could -but he easily did so with such beauty and grace. To Mr. Cornell, I say only this... your music speaks to me on so many levels, and I will forever appreciate all the best qualities of what your musicianship has so blessed this sick, sad world with. The beauty in your humanity and decency in yoursoulful spirit... The world has forever been graced with a true musical legend, given to us only by the grace of a real and LOVING GOD. Chris Cornell, may you forever R.I.P. amidst the garden of '"gods".

Chris is my spirit guide.

No one sings like you anymore 😥

@chriscornell For me, Hope and Promise faded today. #RIPChrisCornell #ChrisCornell #RIP

Masterclass.

Hope , faith , sad , desperation all in one , no one sing like you anymore mr chris 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If you can't watch this. And just accept the fact that he's absolutely the best of his genre and generation. I don't know what else you need.

I thought the version of this from Songbook was perfect but I love this one as well. It's mellower and more restrained.

My heart is still broken.

This is the voice of a falling man, God will never have a wondrous chant like this.

Songbook is my all time favourite album. Unreal voice.

Another moving, beautiful performance by Chris Cornell. What a loss to music ... and a heartbreak for his family.

Miss you bro.... stars belongs to heaven....

His phrasing in this song couldn't possibly be better... It's what gives the song so much soul. Spectacular

I had to watch this AGAIN.. One of my favorite performances of his.... It's too bad he's gone!

This tune is a cautionary tale . As sure as I'm sitting here this beautiful man was baring his very soul ..I have personal thoughts/ opinions about what he was thinking while he penned this tune and what he was thinking while singing it ..you can literally see the pain in his physical appearance...his face ..his eyes..he looks and sounds as if he could cry at any given moment....we will never truly grasp the amount of loss , talent and humanity that somehow ,some way slipped through the cracks of mental anguish, heartache and delusions of over all well being on that horrible ,ill fated , damned tragedy during the early morning hours of May 18th ,2017 ..I've mourned Chris Cornells death as if he were immediate family ..I miss him ....his absence is felt on a daily basis..I'd gladly give a limb to bring him back ....♥️✌😪🤘

He was such an amazing talent - and as said many times before a lovely soul inside and out 💙

How did i miss this gem god your lyrics chris😭❤️❤️

Meu Deus que voz é essa ...ohhh CORNELL..porque se foi tão cedo?

I miss this man so much !!

Such a beautiful song sung with a beautiful voice. Such a handsome man. Has beautiful blue eyes. I miss you. You will live on through your music ❤❤❤

Great voice..songwriter..soulful and authentic..that's what's missing a bit these days..just sayin ✌

The greatest always go too soon. Only a few in my mind, can compare. Pure soul

I love all the walmart Soundcheck videos of Chris....

I'm feeling so much grief right now and can't imagine what his family must be going through. I'm not an emotional man but this chocked me up, what a great singer /songwriter.

No one sings like You anymore. So, so heartbroken and I can't get over it and can't let go Chris...

I still think I'd have liked to have heard the harmonica parts in this version too but damn this is such a great version. I imagine Chris in Heaven , making Angels weep with that voice.

After hearing this I bought Songbook which is fantastic. But this version of the song is even better. He would have been a great blues singer.

amazing performer, amazing voice, always been a pleasure to ear his songs. fuck we miss u down here man.

I miss you Chris....

Stirs my soul, breaks my heart.

Pretty much a vocal solo. What talent.

An Absolute Amazing Performance As Always! Still cant believe it?..Miss You *Chris* Such a Sad Loss! Of A Beautiful #Legend ❤

Drinking alone,listening to this in a foreign bar and a foreing land. Deep thoughts about life, about the things that could have been but are no longer … what else could be better.

Happy birthday Chris!! Miss u!!

If I drew a perfect human being, it would be certainly Chris Cornell. Fascinating artist, surreal man. Captivating performance. Absolutely, NO words for THIS ♥️

Damn that was good

the depth of just one voice...

The most convincing male vocalist of our generation..sadly went searching for his prime moment.

Genius, Legend!!!!! R.I.P Cornell 😢

Timeless

That VOICE

What a peace of art

Masterclass is in session. Listen with your heart not your mind and you will find what lies deep in your soul. God has a plan for u. It will be beautiful.

Thanks Chris !

Fenomenal. Descansa en Paz genio. Abrazos desde Colombia.

I miss him every day !! CC 4EVER

First time hearing some of these songs from this performance...there is so much emotion here...genuinely love them. Beautiful voice, beautiful heart...always remember this.

I came to listen to Chris, not to become sea sick! The camera work here is so bad.. But I'd endure worse things if I could just listen to Chris sing.

Ashame that Walmart had to stain this beautiful song and video.

Beautifully depressed 🖤 One and only...

rest in peace Chris...

Incredible song !!! I really love this acoustic performance ! Amazing voice...

I love you, Cornell.

My One In A Million Thank You!!I f@$!ing miss you!! Thank You for all the long night you pushed me through. ForvThe Amazing Gift You Left Us. Rather Have You Here!! But ill see you on the other side. Loudest Love Forever!!!🤟💚🤟💚🤟

Cuando vengo aquí, mil recuerdos invaden mi cabeza, y una sola persona mi mente, ciertamente es difícil decir adiós.

The last vocal was bone chilling 3:33. How he finished the high part and then the low vocal came like a god emerging from fog

BEAUTIFUL !!!!!

WOW que voz tan increíble, se le extraña.

I love this. I mourn the loss of this beautiful man and his voice

That one person who disliked this WHHYYYY... do YOU just go around disliking good stuff for the hell of it.

So happy he performed this one for Walmart
