What a missing true music and voice this generation and the after will miss

[@esperago]

Believe it or not, his voice makes a certain percentage of society's skin crawl. I'd be in that percentage. Second on the list would be the singer of Kings of Leon. There's this smoothness to their voices that is appalling. I suspect, however, that this smoothness is the precise reason you love his voice. Either way, to each their own.

I met Chris in 1999 at a show, when he asked for a a cigarette. He was an incredibly kind person. He chatted us up after the show also...it only took a short time to see that had a good spirit. Sad about the loss of such a man.

[@colebucket8780]

@@sherrysawyer6819 Had a few of those moments in life. Ones where I was able to meet icons and idols. More often than not, they let you down. This man, did not. Another who recently took his own life also, Neal Casal. Neal was honestly one of the most kind souls I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Met him on tour 2012 with The Chris Robinson Brotherhood, and he invited myself and my kids to the shows he played in Ohio thereafter. Always had signed posters, and kind words. Sadly, those are the ones who dip out early, too often.

[@lorenzodicapo6305]

@@danerowe1258 sorry to hear of your troubles. As a depression sufferer who has gone through many cycles, several meds and years of therapy, I can empathize. Everyone is different and you may have to try various meds and therapies before you find something that is right for you. My piece of advice is simply to do something. I know that it gets way too easy to lay around in bed all day, but try to fight the urge, force your body upright and engage in some activity. Anything. Even if it's just to go to another room or walk down the hall. It sounds kind of dumb but in my experience, it's a necessary first step. Maybe tomorrow you can walk around the block, maybe next week you can ride your bike, fly a kite, I don't know. Build on the simplest of things, pretty much anything so that you're not just laying around being sad. After a while, you'll be doing more and have less time to ruminate and be depressed. I cannot understate the importance of contact with other people. As an introvert, this is difficult for me, but I've found that a good conversation can be a great distraction, as well as an effective therapeutic tool. Anyway, you've reached out and got your meds going, that's a great step in the right direction. There are all kinds of resources out there for us, don't be afraid to use them. Please don't give up on yourself. We all deserve a chance to be happy, even if it doesn't feel like it now.

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

No 1 sang like him, no 1 will ever be him or even come close to him . RIP Voice of the Gods! 🖤🖤🖤🙏

[@Virginiachic01]

One of the most genuinely beautiful souls ever to exist in music. I will be forever grateful for the gift he shared and left behind!!

[@Bb186fo]

I first heard this song around Halloween when I was little, the Melancholy music and his haunting voice just sets that sort of atmosphere for me. His (and Chesters) music take you places like no other music I can find out today. These guys are sorely missed.

[@coctimusprime1872]

Ive came back to this every year. I feel your pain truly I do and I may even join you soon enough my brother.

[@neindanke84]

[@chimenetollis9166]

He's so amazingly talented. His songs were moving & saved alot of us. He saved me after a break up. The first Audioslave album came out. Listened to it for months. If you're reading this you're not alone. Your heart may be broken but your mind is not. Take a day @ a time.

[@federicovieceli7482]

The truth in the eyes, everything was clear.. Great man

[@donvitocorleone8442]

I wonder why they never played at the MTV unplugged? Since Chris played ridiculously great acoustically.

[@kap4eto1]

I also wonder why. Maybe we will never understand.

[@4345ghee]

If I remember correctly it’s because they were touring overseas for either Superunknown or Down on Upside. AIC did it instead

[@MustObeyTheRules]

John Sullivan pretty basic guitar player? His compositions are far beyond the skill level of your average guitar player. Listen the “preaching the end of the world” which is a pretty crazy 20 something chord progression. “sunshower” or the acoustic version of “like suicide” or “seasons”

[@ToraFish86]

@@jsullivan2112 yea..the same way george harrison is a pretty basic guitar player. Nothing is overly 'technical' but composing the right sequence of notes thatll touch a mass amount of souls is something completely different(which Chris did dozens of times over)and arguably far more difficult. Heard of david gilmour?

[@Chair400]

ghee4345 AIC killed that shit too. That’s my favorite unplugged

[@jameslannon9788]

no words really.... legend...epic....does not get much better than this. RIP Cornell. Love always brother.

[@raab2k145]

Behind such a beautiful performance and a beautiful voice, such suffering and pain. God bless it.

[@Pinkylaeti]

This version is just amazing. So soft and powerful at the same time. Chris Cornell was a genius, may he rest in peace.

[@luciepenn6872]

He's a beautiful soul. When you have to cram a song like this into 4 minutes or less, you do all you can to make it happen. I love it.

[@gildamatias9085]

That riff of the guitar at beginning brought so much pain to my chest

[@jakehayes9231]

His eyes, so eerie. Rest peacefully brother

[@antoinesubitlescoups338]

A part of the soul of many of the 90s kids died with him, a part that is now unreachable and irretrievable. May you keep coming into my dreams from time to time, Chris. Love you forever

[@MichaelMitchell-eo6cb]

The more he opens his mouth the greater he sounds!

[@ronbarton515]

Saw Soundgarden play at Lola Poloza back in the mid 90s it was awesome ! Rest in peace Chris Cornell!! You're surely missed here Brother!!!

[@verenareif5387]

His eyes said it all. 😢

[@mist....6312]

TO MY ONE AND ONLY.... MR. CHRIS CORNELL- Happy belated birthday, Ive missed it by 50 minutes to give my thanks for your life and to say that I wish that you were still here. Happy Birthed my beloved brother, you are and will always be a part of my heart. God bless to you and yours. MUCH LOVE BROTHA!

[@estebanperalta59]

Thinking about this was less than a month prior his death is frightening. May your soul RIP Chris, we love you.

[@sanctuary31]

Those eyes… that stare… we miss you Chris, you will live on forever in our hearts.

[@MyndTrixx]

Chris you were so beautifully broken. Your music has got me through some hard times. I only wish someone could have gotten you through your hard times. R.I.P

[@joanspilman448]

Wish.we could have rescued this talented man.

[@NicholasElodeon]

No one sings like you anymore R.I.P. Chris Cornell

[@prashiyer]

Everytime, I think I got over this loss and here I see him again. I wish I could have seen him perform at least once in my life.

[@hassancolio]

Personalmente, la mejor version grabada de Black Hole Sun en acustico.

[@elizabethmcleod246]

I can’t stop crying.... he was amazing.

[@ChrisCornellgrp]

This is by far my favorite acoustic of black hole sun!! Brilliant CC missed beyond 😢

[@mrchavez815]

One of the greatest singers/songwriters of all time, may he rest in peace

[@kimskeelnielsen1570]

I wish I could travel 4 years back, and have a talk with him

[@ecmoraes86]

No one sings like you anymore, Chris... We miss you...

[@colinconsidine5209]

I’ll never forget crying my eyes out listening to this song the day he died.

[@Mr-E.]

Always amazes me that Chris Cornell and the rest of the band kept saying this song had absolutely no meaning and that it was just a gibberish stream of words that ended up being catchy... one of them even laughed that fans liked it so much. "Of the song itself, Cornell said, “If you read the lyrics to the verses, it’s sort of surreal, esoteric word painting. It was written very quickly. It was stream of consciousness. I wasn’t trying to say anything specific. I ate some cottage cheese that turned, and I wrote those lyrics” he said of Black Hole Sun. “It’s just sort of a surreal dreamscape, a weird, play-with-the-title kind of song. Lyrically it’s probably the closest to me just playing with words for words’ sake, of anything I’ve written. I guess it worked for a lot of people who heard it, but I have no idea how you’d begin to take that one literally.”

[@fharidvalencia2068]

Sometimes musicians use music to speak, sometimes music use musicians to speak

[@crazedzealots]

He said in another interview that he dreamed the whole song. And the next day he could play it just as it is which is the version I actually believe. He was a conduit for art and music to flow naturally through as he could do absolutely anything he desired with it.

[@emmaphilo4049]

It's ok, I kinda like when words don't make sense in songs, I think the depth of this song is musical. The words serve the atmosphere of it, they don't have a meaning per se but they do hold a mood

[@noimpostura]

@@emmaphilo4049 You should try to read some poetry. Study it, better.

[@FlyingCat-ms3fo]

I like how in the “hang my head, drown my fear” part, the guitar sounds save and caring for the “hang my head”, but the “drown my fear” sounds ominous, dissonant, and even a little foreboding.

[@michemmmmm]

That voice. Those eyes. 💜
