@@leezgamingz6317 it was messy but im glad i went through it, thank you for asking! healing takes a lot of trials and errors, so i try to look forward anyways. i was a clueless teen, now i am only a few steps into adulthood. the uncertainty terrifies me. but it excites me as well. i wish the best for you and for all, you got this mate.
When I was in my late teens I had to have a major ear surgery that I knew was very likely to result in total hearing loss in one of my ears. I remember being up late the night before the operation listening to music. Black Hole Sun was the last song I listened to that night, and it was the last song my right ear ever heard.
@Green Mills But it feels like it has only been 3 months. it feels like The Coof has gone on longer than we have been without him. I am a Michigan native and this song hit harder every time I hear it because No One really Sings Like You Anymore.
May 18th 2017 Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple Of The Dog, his solo career he truly was too damn good I can’t even give you a list of things to listen too everything he did was good to history breaking. He had the typical up bringing his parents were alcoholic and wasn’t treated well at all, he went to high school and developed his music career with his first band Soundgarden and like I said all of it is good. However much like grunge stars the don’t last long breaking up in 1998, reuniting in 2014 where 2 hours after his last concert he was pronounced dead in his hotel bathroom hanging by a fitness band on the ceiling. I was devastated that a music icon and just pure talent had left are plane of existence, it is expected that he was taking antidepressants that did the exact opposite of what they were supposed to do, during his final days he set up a charity called the promise which also happend to be the last song he ever writ, I… can’t word my feeling toward him as a musician and just as a person god rest your soul Chris Cornell #noonesingslikeyouanymore ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tEpwvvyrAJU.html The Promise By Chris Cornell the last song he ever writ.
First heard this as a young kid when my science teacher showed us this video on rockets, on that hot sunny day I remember realising how much space inspires me. Fast forward 10 years later and i listen to this lying in a dark room, hopeless
"Times are gone for honest men but sometimes far too long for snakes" I remember looking up the lyrics to this song as a kid and how this line resonated with me, especially through out life growing up
Suggestions, if you're not swamped with them already: Audioslave-Like a Stone Dark Tranquility-Auctioned Creed-One Last Breath the Shinedown cover of Simple Man Smile Empty Soul-Vultures Smile Empty Soul-Landslide (actually almost any song by Smile Empty Soul would be great)
My older brother introduced me to Soundgarden when I was 17, BHS was the first song I listened to with him... now that he’s dead by getting killed to an Amtrak train 2 weeks ago, I revisit this song. The doomerwave makes those happy memories feel so long ago, & it’ll only continue to fade away in the vast of time.
Thank you for sharing Zach. I hope things are better. A buddy once said “it’s really messed up when you can’t just talk with that person again and have a beer with them.”
i have a similar thing. me and my dad would blast this song among others and he passed away in august of this year and this makes me think of those memories.
Sitting here in the dark of my room listening to this as all the depressive thoughts of isolation and self-loathing crawl through my brain, hearing chris sing “Wont you come, and wash away the rain” like this hits me like a beam of purifying light
Broke up with my gf over 2 years ago and I’m still not over her. She made everything so much better. I know I’ll have more relationships and whatnot but the time in between is so shit,. Sometimes I feel like I’m just background noise in everyone’s life. Was this comment doomer enough or should I try harder next time?
It was a respectful comment for harsh feelings of breakup. You sit with the pain every day while welcoming little nothings you find in your journey. Welcome to Earth!
Yeah I guess nobody will ever get over a girl whom you loved a lot. I had a same experience too. She said she loved me a lot. Then it turns out, after a month, she was lying to me the whole time. And even worse, she hit up with another guy in my class. It's been only 6 months since this happened, and I can't just stop thinking about her at all. Shit feels so bad.
you are just background noise. and so am i. just like everyone else we are just small percentage of people and dont actually matter, we are just here to make other peoples lives better and suffer in the meantime.
If you believe that then it will happen for you. That is the meaning of this time.. Just like the Black Plague and the Renaissance. Do you want to be left alone and die or join the new age?
In my eyes, indisposed In disguises no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake The sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench 'Neath the black the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And I'll hear you scream again Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come (won't you come) Stuttering, cold and damp Steal the warm wind tired friend Times are gone for honest men And sometimes far too long for snakes In my shoes, a walking sleep And my youth I pray to keep Heaven sent hell away No one sings like you anymore Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Hang my head, drown my fear Till you all just disappear Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) Won't you come Won't you come
One of the best songs I have ever heard "doomed" without a doubt. It's perfect for escaping the shit reality we live in, and drifting away into a world we can all call "home".
This is what it sounds like when I'm home, and a band is playing at the local outside venue a few blocks down. Brings me back to when I was younger. /cry
Weird to see the songs I've been listening to on my own for years pop up together in the form of doomer playlists/channels. Never really felt like I had a group of people to relate to and was kinda glad about that. But hello to all of you anyways, hope life treats you kindly sooner or later.
This is one of the only songs that can make me cry. My best mate and I would sing it walking home for hours wasted before uber was a thing. He's gone now. Hits hard when the meme becomes reality.
Actually I like this version better. It is how the song was supposed to be. The verse sounds like Frank Sinatra which is who Chris Cornell was imitating to sing the song.
this song gives me so much nostalgia and this edit to it just adds to how much I miss that era of my life, wouldn't say I'm sad now cause I'm not trynna feel sorry for myself, just I got no motivation anymore to care about the little things that used to make me happy yk? and I feel like I'm wasting myself #edGeLoRd!1!!
I remember this song playing all the time in my ears and Chris's beautiful voice harmonizing with sadness. it is impossible that this chorus and that guitar does not give you the feeling that some world is ending. Chris, we love you... ❇️
"Hang my head, down my fear, til you all just disappear..." Those words haunt me when I think of Chris' final moments alone in his hotel room. Angel Azazel came for one of the most amazing human beings to ever grace the face of this lonesome Earth but only three short years ago, and every day I remember him and his heartbreaking messages, how they reach me and tug my heartstrings. Won't you come? Black hole soon, and wash away the rain?
Almost five years ago I put 'The Day I Tried to Live' on loop in my room as a kind of goodbye to my family after I left for boot camp. I kind of feel like my life ended in a way. I'm still living but it's just numb and boring like a shitty tv show. I don't know where I was going with this. It's just a funny thing to be reminded of, I guess.
Imo, Chris Cornell's acoustic rendition of Black Hole Sun is the gloomiest version. It sounds like a song you'd hear from some guitar-licking man during the Dust Bowl at the height of the Great Depression.
Sitting in a car. It's raining outside. You're suddenly woken up by your elder sister who's laughing with your parents, some joke that you half heard before you drifted off. "Oh sorry," she says, and then joins the commotion again. You rub your eyes, shifting in the seat. Your legs are stiff so you take off your slippers and pull your knees closer to your chest. They all asked you to wear shoes but you chose slippers. They are comfortable. You look out the window. The glass is matted with water. You follow the drops as they slide off the pane. "Anon!" You hear your father. You turn your head. The laughing has stopped and they're all looking at you. He had been calling you for a while now but the raindrops were more interesting. "How are you so inattentive? Thats why you aren't doing well in studies. You can't pay attention to anything around you. Always in your own damn world." You can hear the concealed anger in his voice. Your mother is atleast not angry, but she sounds flat. "If your father calls, you must listen right away anon. And feet off the seat right now," "He's wearing slippers." Your sister pipes in, scanning you up and down, smirking. "He looks like a bum." "Might as well be. Doesn't do a damn chore. Always leeching." Your father continues, slightly glancing back. "Look at your sister. I am proud of introducing her as my daughter. And look at you..." He turns to your mother. "I told him numerous times to wear shoes, but no. He wants to look like a junkie..." You were forced to come along for the family reunion. A few years ago you would have retorted, saying they should have just taken your sister along, forgetting they had a junkie son, but now you know it doesn't matter. Its all the same, retort or not. You care, but you know there's nothing you can do. You just don't have the energy. You look back outside. The droplets on the pane look at you. They smile. You haven't touched them but you know they are warm.
