Audioslave - Doesn't Remind Me (Acoustic)

audioslave

[@elisedonelson1127]

I was an awkward black teenager who needed nothing more than a Soundgarden song on the radio. Rest In Power Chris I love hearing your voice and enjoying your style, because it doesnt remind me of anything.

[@carlharrison5939]

Except this is an Audioslave track but hey I know what you mean.

[@headhunter27x]

Who does chris wing for?? Audioslave thats right eh carl harrison. Couldn't just let the girl have her memmory could you smart ass.

[@riverfallscory]

Elise Donelson shit yeah man. Minus the whole being black thing. But it's about the music dude if i can say that. Soo good. Where is the all vocal channel cuz it teaches generations.

[@macknolan410]

I love the fact you mentioned you're black. It shows how Chris's music and voice knew no racial boundaries. And that's a good thing. Amazing artist loved by so many. Long live Chris Cornell.

[@victoriasmith603]

Beautiful statement,man

[@tonieundertwenty]

My fiance surprised me with front row tickets to (what would be) his last show in our town. He was walking back and forth across the stage, singing this song and looked right and me and I squirmed in my seat -- because what else can you do when greatness looks upon you? He saw me squirm and then sang to me for what felt like forever. It will forever be one of my greatest memories, and I don't think I will ever be able to listen to this song again without crying. Rest in peace, your artistry will live on in all of us forever!

[@bc005]

Tonie Balonie because your so pretty dear.

[@jalarsonirkhamulhetsted7387]

Tonie Balonie that is such an amazing story. you are so blessed to have been there. if his beautiful blue eyes looked at me i would hold that in my mind and heart forever. very lucky girl 😉

[@sludgerat666]

Toni Under Twenty Beautiful...

[@greglofgren1609]

Toni Under Twenty I seen Ur post, & just had to say that is a memory that NOBODY can EVER take from U ! Hold on to it for ever... God bless !

[@Ninjametal]

To me this song is about enjoying distractions from painful stuff in life. The irony gets deep when considering how listening to Cornell's music used to be a great escape is now a reminder of the unmendable wound of losing that artist. RIP Chris

[@AnnaLVajda]

Yeah "I don't wanna learn what I need to forget" it's all about trauma being triggered or people rubbing salt in your wounds.

[@giuseppemartino6889]

I agree 👍

[@giuseppemartino6889]

I agree with you about that one. Lol. Because when I play guitar his music is so great .

[@Drop_Of--Flame]

Yep yhats more or less what Chris said about this song ❤😊

[@mississippimud1893]

Best voice of the 90's,but I believe he had the best voice of EVER

[@brandybrunelle1665]

DEFINITELY ♫╚(ö_ö)╗♪

[@panika2810]

some one who battled anxiety and depression to sing in front of an audience this way is just pure heart

[@moeaholic]

How can the death of someone I didn't know personally still rattle me a year and a half later? We lost a poet. Miss you, Chris.

[@brendanorman6150]

moeaholic I know, I ask myself the same thing 29months after he was taken from our world💔 R.I.P. CC🖤

[@smartluck100]

I feel the same way about Jerry Garcia. I didn’t know the man, but he touched my soul on so many levels. It’ll be 27 years this August.… I feel you

[@Aboertmann]

I feel the same way. It's been 4 years and I don't believe I'll ever get over this one. I think about Chris everyday like I knew him and I tear up when I hear his songs. When no one in my life listened, he spoke to my soul and all the darkness and depression that goes with it.

[@missophie]

When something or someone speaks to your soul, they are forever a part of it. I wasn't at the show (I was meant to be there, couldn't find a ride) and his death shook me harder than some/a majority of my blood relatives' deaths. I think it's because it was so unexpected and abrupt. His life's work remains now and forever, so he's not lost entirely.

[@jimmydean5182]

You can get to know people through their music. IMO

[@michaelmonk1615]

This man was my role model growing up. I did not relate to movie stars or famous athletes$$$. At his (Cornell's) peak during the grunge era as lead for Soundgarden, I took notice to his humble demeanor. Here was this dude that had model good looks, a ripping gospel voice that could hit extreme high/low octaves at will.....but, that seemed bothered by the fact that these same attributes defined him by the world that he never seemed quite comfortable with. His lyrics made clear that he struggled w/his own deep thoughts and emotions that he viewed did not fit into this male persona that haunted him from childhood (Doesn't Remind Me). In a weird way, I feel like I lost a brother...

[@maddogandjessiwithani4575]

Picked up guitar at 30 years old. This was the first song I learned. I’ll play this video and try to play along with him. No matter what song Chris sings. I get chills down my spine and my eyes water. I felt this way about his voice before he passed. Now it’s just that much more special. RIP Chris you really are missed.

[@deetestlogins5269]

The sign of a great song is when it get stuck in your head for days and days, lets keep this wonderful man alive even when the world has gone mad.

[@thomalbuquerque]

That voice isn't from this world! Amazing!!!

[@jesicadpsc]

Thom Albuquerque And his voice is out of this world unfortunately...

[@makeamericaagain7174]

Well, this is one occasion where the phrase literally true applies.

[@charlottecannon3611]

Agreed, just damn! 🤘

[@danilaird8360]

Oh it is, trust me. Maybe it's a talent from Elohim but the music in the heavens is nothing like what we hear here on earth. It will be much much MUCH more beautiful than we cannot even imagine with our puny human brains!

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

The guy had more talent vocally, musically and poetically than most will ever know. Had the looks to go with it. He was a beautiful yet disturbed human.

[@drewfuss2006]

I think troubled is more accurate

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

@@drewfuss2006 I can agree with that.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Thank you, God. Only you truly know. My family and wife of 30 has no clue. R.I.P. Chris. Loved and missed forever. 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@turdfaceshithead]

No one in this generation can write,play guitar, and sing like this man. It is ok to Cry for Chris we took him for granted.

[@danilaird8360]

I can play guitar like him. Maybe not sing or write but I can play guitar.

[@gabrielmorenook]

Anyone can sing like him

[@adicab5578]

Feb 2023. Still listening to you all these years, Chris.

[@sarwarbaig2077]

Feb 2024. Still listening to this.

[@PatBrands]

I rarely leave comments anywhere in cyberspace, but I felt compelled to this time. The world was a better place with Chris Cornell in it. He sang with true emotions, and passion. I wish I had a little inkling of musical talent that he had. I am still in shock over his passing, and it pains me to know that he will not be around to make more great music. Even with the truth that he never knew me, and that I only knew of him through his work I felt a connection through his words and emotions. He was a normal guy with normal problems. He had happy days, and he had rough days like everybody else on this planet. Celebrity status aside, he just wanted to share his passion of music with all who would listen. We will miss you forever Chris.

[@hangnout9188]

Pat Brands I'm not one leave comments either, but you pretty much covered it. Singers and writers as a majority just put out meaningless shit. Few artist actually put their soul ,a meaning for the words their singing etc.. he truly did, and with heart emotion and soul. You felt what was going into your head. And the talent of each member is far better than the majority, and they equally played through their heart and souls. I only listen to the very best concerning me. Complex, perfection ,and meaning. Dream Theater Rush , Satriani, S.R.V.,Eric Johnson and the list that flows into those names

[@jaysonpatrickjackson]

I’m just a single dad shitty factory working guy never actually knew you but I miss you so much Chris and hold back tears ever time I hear you sing. I hope you found peace.

[@DuncanWLievi]

Hey, thanks for the work you do. Hope all's good with you and family. Cheers. Chris is one of the artists whose music is truly memorable.

[@allisonmeadows4599]

This is such a complete tragedy. Really hit me hard this morning.

[@Doyledeth]

Me too. I miss him so fucking much already.

[@propjoe1060]

Still devastated.

[@mutton_man]

I can't believe it's been 1 year since then.

[@roseanneh04]

R.i.p to someone who meant more than I realised, your music resonated with me at a time when life was on overload to the extreme. Thanks for making music that made you feel like you weren't the only one.

[@ajfisher42]

Depression is a huge issue in this country and does need to be addressed, With that said listening and reading his lyrics depression is now a double edge sword when it comes to Chris. I feel most of these songs and his soul in these songs would not exist if he was not in a dark place. He is one of the best and Unique voices and one of the best songwriters. He will be missed :(

[@lesterwilliams1116]

So many live on excitement anxiety and depression, excitement when they get what they want, anxiety when they trying to figure out how to get what they want, and depression when they don't get what they want. We were designed to feel all emotions, much more than just 3. Most people try to avoid those other emotions, but your living a life of delusions if you live off just those three

[@erikseiber6273]

It's been 3 yrs, love everything this man touched! RIP Chris

[@kmcglothlin93]

Could you imagine opening your mouth and that voice coming out? Beautiful, Powerful voice. He is TRULY missed by all.

But I did. I had no direction...then Audioslave released this song. Friggin masterpiece...

[@flapjackson6077]

I never get tired of this song, or Chris Cornell’s voice. He was so talented. I understand his pain. I just wish he had found a reason to live.

[@wolfacula]

Wow. Now there is a nice new fact for me. I always assumed Chris was just a singer. Knowing that he did any guitar for SG just increases an already high respect for the guy. Yeah. Dude is amazing.

He’s also mastered the drums

[@jrmann1143]

never a more true statement

[@phizekes7162]

This was the best band, with the best front man, of the first decade of the new millennium. After three solid albums, I was shocked when they broke up, but Chris Cornell does have a history of reuniting with old band mates. I saw Chris Cornell's Songbook tour in 2011, & again in 2013. His 2013 blew me away. His voice was so much better than In 2011, and he played for 21/2 hrs. including a 4 song encore. Audioslave & Cornell rock!!!! Peace.

[@jowen9991]

Every music vid I watch, more impressed than the last 1. He never ceases amaze me with his talent, singing, lyrics & he's easy on the eyes. Never got to see him live but KZbin makes up for it! A late comer fan but better late than never. Thanks for making our world a little brighter & sound little better. RIP, musical icon.

[@tu9110]

I've always said the two greatest voices in rock history are Steve Perry with old school Journey and the irreplaceable Chris Cornell. What a talent, what a voice. Feel privileged to be alive to witness the magic when this man sings to us. RIP Chris ur voice will live on forever brother.

"i walk the streets of Japan till i get lost , coz it doesnt remind me of anything"

[@tammyh.1769]

"Doesn't Remind Me" I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost Cause it doesn't remind me of anything With a graveyard tan carrying a cross Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like studying faces in a parking lot Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like driving backwards in the fog Cause it doesn't remind me of anything [Chorus] The things that I've loved the things that I've lost The things I've held sacred that I've dropped I won't lie no more you can bet I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget I like gypsy moths and radio talk Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like gospel music and canned applause Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like colorful clothing in the sun Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I ilke hammering nails and speaking in tongues Cause it doesn't remind me of anything [Chorus] The things that I've loved the things that I've lost The things I've held sacred that I've dropped I won't lie no more you can bet I don't want to learn what I'll need Bend and shape me I love the way you are Slow and sweetly Like never before Calm and sleeping We won't stir up the past So descretely We won't look back [Chorus] The things that I've loved the things that I've lost The things I've held sacred that I've dropped I won't lie no more you can bet I don't want to learn what I'll need I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours If it doesn't remind me of anything

[@tinazweiacher7038]

We were Blessed to have him with us and share his tremendous talents and God took him from us because he couldn’t endure the torture of being in this society that would deny him the right of performing live... he was living for us and with us! Even though he truly loved his family he was a person who needed to share his talents with his adoring fans; if he had been deprived of that his own heart would have been broken.... I for one, am still reeling from the heartbreak... it’s an injury that that can NEVER heal....

[@lpsebz]

Whilst listening this song last week, it came to me how difficult will it be to find someone like Chris. Rip my friend.

[@Lawldudz]

he was/is Soundgarden's rhythm guitarist in addition to being a vocalist, and he's actually a surprisingly good guitarist, since SG has a lot of difficult rhythm sections that he is able to play and sing at the same time

[@warrenjensen4670]

He was also a accomplished drummer too, in fact he was originally Soundgarden's drummer before taking up vocals/guitar.

[@nathananton12]

When I was a kid, I always thought "no one sings like you anymore" was an interesting line - from "Blackhole Sun" of course. That music video came out 2 weeks after Kurt Cobain died (not that I was old enough to remember). But somehow I always felt like that line was almost saying no one would ever sing like Kurt again. And that's true. There are a lot of yell-singers in rock but Kurt's voice was pretty special. With all that said, Chris's was special on a more technical level. I'm not a vocal expert but his range, belting technique, and overall intensity sound like what would happen if you ran Robert Plant's voice through a punk-rock-generator. In many ways Soundgarden was the Led Zeppelin of the grunge era. Their music was more virtuoso-esque than the other grunge bands and they had more blues and metal influence than a lot of others (save for Alice in Chains on the metal aspect). Soundgarden even covered "Whole Lotta Love" at various points after their reunion. But with Chris's vocals leading the charge, it gave them something extra. And here, with Audioslave (or without them I suppose), he strikes a real lyrical chord (even if he's only playing three literal chords throughout the whole song). A lot of lyrics are just generic enough to apply to many people; often times that's the point... and that's likely the case here. But I really can't underscore how well these lyrics capture my own life. I'm sure there are many others that feel this way. And there's no better voice to be hearing it from than Chris's. For all that's been said and written about Chris since he died, the toughest was hearing about how he was the grunge artist that "had it together" the most. He was the stable one that could handle the fame without going crazy. I don't know what ultimately led to his decision to hang himself, but if it WAS directly related to the difficulties of being an artist (which I don't know if it was), then it's one of the biggest shames of all in this situation. Now, years later, I look back on those words "no one sings like you anymore", I watch this video, and I just think to myself: "It was you. No one sings like YOU anymore. No one ever will. Your voice is literally too unique. It's as if the lyric was an eerily autobiographical prediction..." RIP Kurt, Layne, Scott, and Chris.

[@mariskakat6063]

Absolutely. All I've been thinking about since I heard the news is what can our government do to effectively address the issue of depression. We need easier access to support groups and education/the arts. Not more and more prescriptions. We all deserve the help we need.

It's very humbling to find a song from a band I know as family in my mind, that I've not heard. But it comes when it should. Story is already wrote folks. The waves are going to break on you, maybe not today. But they will. Remember even the smallest ocean still gets big big waves. This one feels like a gigaton force coming down on me. Some things change us forever. Sadly who we were gets locked inside to die a slow and painful death. Damn the clairvoyant.
