Somedays I can listen to Chris all day and it's pure joy...some days I can't listen to his voice at all without crying...such a huge loss

[@chrissimpson6701]

I feel the same way. Why don't you come join my club on FB in his memory, it's called Chris Cornell Fanclub.

[@suryaananda8362]

Same xo

[@destructor.93]

Me too. 🖤

[@annsteiger3531]

That's me, still to this day. 😞

Homicide, Ventura!

[@christinecanty5409]

Chris literally took us thru his life with his lyrics. He said in an interview that his music was his autobiography. Chris told us.

[@Raittway]

Chris wrote and sang with his heart and soul. A poet, melody master and incredible musician. Miss him ❤

[@lednails]

This stripped down version is SO MUCH BETTER than the album version it's not even funny. This is old school Cornell that I love.

[@stewartwilliams144]

completely agree , I've always loved this version more since I grabbed the single of Can't change me.

[@dannycolverson6944]

Yeah this is incredible. The album version is ok. But it's almost a different song.

[@lIlIlIlIlIlIIIIIIII]

Subjective

[@scottroy3727]

I felt the same way, I feel more effort in this recording.

[@scottroy3727]

I kinda feel the same way.

[@lanirderose8615]

One of the best songs EVER written.

[@josefromspace]

Man you deserve a medal for posting this.

[@almirathunstrom7216]

This song made me discover his music and his beautiful voice. May his music echo in to eternity. RIP Chris, you will not be forgotten :(

[@cathalsurfs]

Echoes from another world..

[@Vandelgard]

it's been a year already.. :(

[@amytrykowski9105]

He was awesome! Have you Heard any temple of the dog music!???

[@Sha_laa_ah]

I can't describe my whole feelings about what his music means to me. It's just like a treasure that I should keep forever.

[@fransenmusic]

I remember seeing Singles (probably early 2000s) and hearing a split second of this different version of Spoonman , with the film being released a few years before Superunkown , I was very confused. It all makes sense now!

[@chrisask2065]

I thought I was in a strong state of mind today. Everything was going good, playing guitar and relaxing.... then this came across again. Shaken once again. Ferryboat crushes me

[@dawnbushard6577]

No one sounds like you....no one ever will ♡♡

[@michaelblaine6494]

A tremendous loss,it feels like yesterday. We lost a friend that night

[@Olie986]

Wow, never heard this version before.

[@geekrockrats]

I had this on a bootleg called stolen prayers and this version is so much more emotional. When I was a teen I don't bought it was so cool to tell a girl who likes you that she's better off alone. Now I realize that makes for a lonely life

[@amandawilson9555]

Sad face!

[@michaelblaine6494]

Happy face😉

[@michaelblaine6494]

3 years later....”thought it was so cool* is what I meant

[@michaelblaine6494]

It was more about not wanting to risk heartbreak though I didn’t know that’s what it was. I’m not like that anymore because fortune favors the bold and you find no happiness unless you’re open to it. Idk why I think anyone would care but it can’t hurt to say how you feel

[@michaelblaine6494]

How about you sad face? How do you feel?😝

[@Siticmon]

i love the guitar at the end, so abstract, i wish that were in the original recording

[@adamturner1563]

CORNELL.👊❌ Gems like this are worth playing 50 times, over and over!

[@GypsyRock]

Hey Adam

[@adamturner1563]

Gypsyyyyyyyyyy !! What's shaking mama

[@kolbykauffman4180]

This is my first time hearing this version. I was thinking back to fourth grade, when either my mom or dad bought Euphoria Mourning for Christmas (I only knew Black Hole Sun and Can't Change Me, hadn't had my big music awakening yet). Was thinking about how I was playing Spyro with this playing in my little stereo. It's like a completely different atmosphere from the album version and it feels far more organic here. Pitched-up a pinch, but it's darker in tone and atmosphere; still has that rough edge to it (especially with that really tight, gain-soaked delay in the lead near the end). How inspiring.

[@malapar3nzana]

instant goosebumps.

[@ServidorDeNadieSoy]

Best version ever!!!

[@dawnbushard6577]

I couldn't listen to CC for 7 months.....just devastated.

[@dawncantagallo9477]

He wakes me up every morning,his voice haunts my soul.

[@greifill]

I had a similar reaction to his passing. It just hurt too much to hear his voice. Took me a while to accept that he was gone.

[@michaelblaine6494]

I couldn’t not listen to him at that point,the songs he left behind for us was the only way to find any kind of comfort. It hurt but I needed it

[@suryaananda8362]

Oh I did. The day he left his body. It was like he never left

[@suryaananda8362]

Dawn Bushard The rain came down & so did the tears.

[@mysticmoon5664]

I absolutely LOVE this song! This version is incredibly moving and beautiful! 🖤🙏

[@vivalabambi73]

What an absolutely amazing version! I wish I’d heard this sooner. Chris Cornell will live on forever because of his songs. 😢

[@JasonHickerson1]

Thanks for posting! I lost this cd years ago, and haven't heard this version since.

[@pedrobenavides9209]

[@amytrykowski9105]

I agree Chris Cornell was so talented!!

Both or great but I like this one better it's longer !!

[@AFord1981]

Yeah, I love Trina Michaels too. And this song!

[@bigdawg6308]

I'm drinking dust With eyes of rust Tonight my tears might stain your wings So flutter home 'Cause you're better off alone than with me So hide your face And tie your lace And butterflies across your cheek Forget how soon You'll become a fool for words when I speak Flutter girl You don't wanna know what I lived You don't wanna take what I give 'Cause I give nothing for free You don't wanna know what I lived You don't wanna take what I give 'Cause I give nothing for free My hands are rough My fingers cold And your heart's so young and so naive To ever feel For a moment that I might let you believe Flutter girl You don't wanna know what I lived You don't wanna take what I give 'Cause I give nothing for free You don't wanna know what I lived You don't wanna take what I give 'Cause I give nothing for free I'll tear your wings As I've melted your smile As I run all your colors away Flutter girl You don't wanna know what I lived You don't wanna take what I give 'Cause I give nothing for free You don't wanna know what I lived Flutter girl

[@dawncantagallo9477]

Chris........We miss you so much.

[@dianeknowlton5410]

Love

[@Kevlen89]

I'm mssing you Chris. So bad that you're gone.

[@sukjinji4238]

Holy shit! LOL! This rocked so much harder than the known version of the song. Amazeballs...

[@brexxebender1204]

Surprised this song had other writers involved.

[@Vecchio244]

Flutter girl is from the Poncier Tapes, as was Seasons and a few others. This was a fictional tape with made up song names on it that was supposed to be Cliff Poncier's solo recordings in the movie Singles, and Cornell thought it would be funny to actually write songs to the titles they came up with. He then surprised Cameron Crowe by having him listen to the tape that was supposed to be fake, but now there were songs on it. If other writers were involved I would assume that would be for the studio recording he did later, but this is just him if I remember correctly.

[@nadiabriseno7405]

I love u

[@MrRedCologne]

This is a definite proof of Alain Johannes and Natasha Schneider's congeniality and musical craftsmanship. Because the same song on the euphoria album is definitely more harmonic and easier to listen. They made a song from this raw idea.

[@theothersideofheavenly7347]

Перевод на русский)))) Кто знает - тот поймет. Я пьян давно. Мне всё - равно. Я пригвождён к трактирной стойке. Вон счастие моё - на тройке В сребристый дым унесено… В снегу времён, в дали веков… Летит на тройке, потонуло И только душу захлестнуло Сребристой мглой из-под подков… От искр всю ночь, всю ночь светло… В глухую темень искры мечет, Бубенчик под дугой лепечет О том, что счастие прошло… Всю ночь видна… Всю ночь слышна… И только сбруя золотая А ты, душа… душа глухая… Пьяным-пьяна… пьяным-пьяна…
