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.

[@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

"In disguise AS no one knows"

[@Pinkylaeti]

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

[@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.

[@linkluke351]

The music video to this scared the hell out of me as a kid, especially the melting Barbie.....20 or so years later, I realize just how hauntingly beautiful this song is. RIP.

Amazing. A true master piece! Luv u and your music 4 ever❤

[@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!

[@rilenixx]

I fell in love with Soundgarden with their second album in 1989. I watched them climb to international superstardom. Cornell is one of the greatest vocalists of all time! That is irrefutable! RIP Chris! You are missed by everyone!

[@basbleupeaunoire]

Wow. You must have been so thrilled. I miss him, too.

[@jakehayes9231]

His eyes, so eerie. Rest peacefully brother

[@teresamcmullan6549]

Chris, my brother. Thank you for coming down here and helping a lot of people out, for making our lives better, and for making the whole universe light up with love. I will meet you on the other side 🍀

[@allentheobold8133]

No one sings like you anymore. RIP Chris

[@transistor281]

that's right

[@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.”

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.

[@congoashanti4935]

Chris didn't lose his battle.... He was un alived by the snakes he sings about..... Never to far to strike or whisper lies to those who watch and listen. God bless my friend.. You were truly a gifted human. I pray you rest peacefully in God's meadows.....

[@mrchavez815]

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

[@redlettervagrant1159]

Man he was amazing.... the way he sing "Black hole sun!" in that high register is so crazy, almost sounds autotuned if I didn't already know how amazing of a singer he was. 👏👏

[@rickster58]

Kudos to the sound engineer, he took a great performance and captured it exquisitely.

[@vitordanieleal]

This was the first song I heard from Chris. Gets me a flash back to my childhood 😢RIP Chris 😢

Layne Staley and him both have the best voices ever to grace the rock genre. there is truly no comparison.
