Chris & Ben (Soundgarden) - Blow Up the Outside World

Acoustic intimate set by Chris Cornell and Ben Shepherd from Soundgarden, at the KISW rock radio station.

[@Basic_Blue]

"A poet is an unhappy being whose heart it torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: Sing for us soon again; that is as much as to say. May new sufferings torment your soul. " ~~ Søren Kierkegaard RIP Chris Cornell

It's incredible (and heartbreaking) when you finally realize that he wasn't writing dark, melancholic lyrics for lack of better things to say - we were reading a cryptic diary that spanned decades. The greatest voice of our generation, & a singer/songwriter for the ages. RIP CC

This is my favorite rendition of this song as well. I grew up devoted to Hip Hop, but always liked Soundgarden (Temple of the Dog/Audiodlave) a lot. Around 2021, I fell into Chris Cornell again and realized how fond of his music I actually am. I carry such a deep regret for never having seen him play live.

Chris was definitely not the musician I expected to leave. He left behind a helluva legacy. Like Brandon said, it’s like losing a family member. A family member in music.

[@CarelessVagabond]

We were truly lucky to live at the same tme as him. He explained to me what I felt when I thought I could never understand. We've all been through so much. We've lost so much and when he left us, it was like I lost a father I never had.. a friend in the fight. I watched the last girl I'll ever be with, take her own life at about the same time he took his. I've never been the same. I miss the old days so much. I guess you just trudge on and find your peace of you can. I hope he found his... I'm still looking for mine.

[@JFK41978]

The more Chris was stripped down the better he was because his talent was just so raw and unmistakeable. Just hits you right in the face. I found Soundgarden at age age 12 in 1991 and it took me a few more decades to realize he was a once in a lifetime musician. I was spoiled.

[@IhaveaPhDinTV]

My vERy favorite part

[@patrickc.mcevoy2065]

That verse hits me like a right hook, when I consider his chosen fate. Lyric is made much heavier with that knowledge in the back of my mind. A few others also hint at his state of mind , in that way. Burden in my hand, fell on black days, and outshined all reveal a glimpse of a soul in agony. He is obviously in constant, intense pain. He has soul pain, not body pain(like mine), but either kind will drive you mad in time. Phys.pain makes me very irritable, mean even. I want to hit something or someone, but I dont cuz then im causing pain.(F. That) Soul pain makes you cry out and hide, nothing to hit. I just wish he could've found a reason to stay, like his kids , or something. It's tragic, but it's really not his fault. May God have mercy on his spirit and on us all. Amen.

[@bradd5112]

Please, everyone, take care of yourselves. Chris lost a long battle with his demons, let his light keep us all from that terrible fate.

Wish that was all there was to it, friend, but it's sung as a question and the full lyrics of that section are actually pretty disturbing... Chris was crying out in pain and needed help even when this record came out. I wish someone would have listened more carefully then as it might have prevented what would later happen. RIP Chris.

@Shawn Jerome He wasn't on heroin.

[@Nightboat]

@Shawn Jerome No, that is not the case with Chris, Shawn. Perhaps you are thinking of Kurt Cobain? Toxicology reports for Chris revealed that several prescription drugs were in his system the night of his death. He had high levels of barbiturates (prescription sedatives) and four doses of lorazepam (also known as the anxiety medication Ativan) in his body at the time of his death. Traces of caffeine (an upper), pseudoephedrine (a decongestant), and naloxone (administered by EMTs to stop a possible overdose) were also revealed in the toxicology report. Despite evident signs of prescription drug abuse, the coroner officially determined that Chris Cornell’s prescription drug abuse did not directly cause his death. This was not an overdose, and experts say it is unlikely that the “weird combination” of uppers and downers in Cornell’s system would lead him to hang himself.

9-7-19 still listening. Not many people realize the weight he carried. He owed a debt he couldn't pay and no wife, child, friend, or money could pay that debt. He had to finish what he started, and he did it on his terms. There is no more a glorious ending than what he did. A modern day gladiator in my eyes. Much love from a lifelong fan.

He's beyond human.. he's conquered his demons

A ritual to listen to Chris/Soundgarden at least once a week...better If everyday, he really scratched our hard drives, my hero!

Anyone else just want to burrow down and blow up the outside at this point in history?

"No one can do me in before I do myself". Wish you wouldn't have added meaning to that lyric.

Jason Maxey EXACTLY my thoughts :'(

MrAero Helicopter it has always been about suicide. he wrote alot of dark songs about some pretty dark depressing and disturbing issues. his music really helped me through some really difficult times in my life..........I only wish I, or anyone, could have helped him through his troubles, darkness, demons or whatever it was that troubled him............his music and lyrics were and still are therapy for me. RIP Chris Say Hello To Heaven my friend, I'll see ya on the other side perhaps.

Scott Owens It's strange when I look back at lyrics I've written for my songs of how deep they are yet I was 15 at the time and yet the music was quite happy yet punchy. The song was called "Maybe" lyrics are Crazy in an empty Feeling unaware living as it makes me dying I don't care Taken down beneath me Choices as it's blade Pressures that it could be Take me I'm afraid Chorus Maybe I'm to late Maybe I'm reaching out again Take me it's my own way Maybe I'm reaching out again and so on..I will upload the song one day. But I guess what I'm trying to say is I didn't really know why I was writing that stuff but it was somehow how it should be or could be.

Scott Owens in the last period chris wasn ' t so depressed and in a bad mood. His wife said that he had a strong love for his family which let him go forward. Causes for his Death are probably those medicines that lead him to suicide..

This is perfection.

Queria ter virado fã dele ainda vivo, o melhor cantor e compositor em minha opinião
