Absolutely love the original. One of my all time favourites. This makes it just that bit darker for when you actually want the world to end. Good shit.
This is what I hear when humanity comes to an end. I sit on the beach and watch as the mushroom cloud gets bigger. I just sit and watch. And then it’s over. That is what I picture when I hear this
While listening to this I imagine an astronaut who has been doomed to the depths of space with no opportunity to go back to their ship and now, accepting their fate, just listens to this while contemplating beautifulness and the cruelty of space
I always though that he was murdered, and everytime I listen this song I can hear an enraged Chris with those echoes in 4:28. "Black Hole Sun, won't you come!?" "WON'T YOU COME!?". He is claiming! This version freeze me up dude.
Man, this was one of my favorites songs when I was a kid, it always played on my mind when something bad happened, but my childhood, despite of me being a stubborn child, was very blessed, very happy and I wish I could revive all of those moments again. Now I'm a teenager almost turning into an adult trying to remember the good moments to don't be sad about the actuality, but even so, remembering the good childhood makes me sad, cuz it was a better era, a better time. Here in Brazil we call this "Nostalgia", the feeling of missing the old times or old things that happened.
In my eyes Indisposed In disguises no one knows Hides the face Lies the snake And 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 Sometimes, far too long for snakes In my shoes Walking sleep In my youth, I pray to keep Heaven send 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
