black hole sun | soundgarden | acoustic cover ft. jennah bell | stories

[@dagnut]

Perfectly pitched not overcooked. This woman is a brilliant singer without trying to melt your face..

[@DarkGloComics]

Hell no.

[@Tiffiany]

Lol

[@brianreid5891]

Agreed, but i really wanted her to melt my face at the end with a couple full voice “Black Hole Sun!!!”.

[@joannaferris2232]

I can’t stand overcooked performances. It’s so fake. I’d take this genuine type of singing over that any day

This is so beautiful. Takes a song I spent rocking out to in the 90s as an angry teen to mellow it out to something I can just sigh through in my 40s. It feels like it has aged and mellowed with me. Thank you for that feeling. I love humming it to myself again.

[@AvecPoesie]

You put that so beautifully and relatably.

[@tngrrl73]

Truth!!!

[@aprilmason1616]

I find myself singing this song during work, it makes me happy

[@CatEyedGoddess]

True sis. I remember coming home from school and turning on MTV ( back when they played videos) in hopes of this coming on. My brothers use to make fun of me for listening to "white music" but every time this would come on, here they come, listening. They listen to all types of music now. I think mostly because of Sound Garden 😉

[@WaFfLePuFFGiRL]

My goodness! I love the way you put that. 💜💜💜

Uncredibly good singing and a fantastic arrangement. These people utilize dynamic tension and nuance in ways pop music desperately needs to adopt.

[@jbecknc]

Occurrences Amen. This rendition is another level above the original version.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

At the age of 61 I've heard a lot of music over the decades, and have tried to compile a top-ten list of my favorite songs--a very hard thing to do, since there are so many great ones. I've found that it's the songs that dig deep into my soul that have made the list (which still isn't complete). "Black Hole Sun" is one of those, and it made the list a long time ago. I just listened to the Soundgarden original, and then switched over to this one--and was totally blown away. And yes, it made me weep...

[@sabadosvega]

What are the other songs on your list? Curious.

[@jeniferbratter1270]

Perfect tribute to a song with many layers. Her voice and the instrumentals just take the listener on a journey . The cover is excellent because it redefines the song - from an alternative rock to a quiet meditation on loss and longing. Jennah Bell keep singing!! This is just sublime.
