Chris Cornell-"The Day I Tried to Live"

[@TheTrisha2009]

Song Meaning: From Chris Cornell himself: “It's about trying to step out of being patterned and closed off and reclusive, which I’ve always had a problem with. It's about attempting to be normal and just go out and be around other people and hang out. I have a tendency to sometimes be pretty closed off and not see people for long periods of time and not call anyone. It's actually, in a way, a hopeful song. Especially the lines "One more time around/Might do it", which is basically saying, 'I tried today to understand and belong and get along with other people, and I failed, but I'll probably try again tomorrow.' A lot of people misinterpreted that song as a suicide-note song. Taking the word "live" too literally. "The Day I Tried to Live" means more like the day I actually tried to open up myself and experience everything that's going on around me as opposed to blowing it all off and hiding in a cave.”

An introvert song

[@Man-vs-Metal]

Thank you

[@raulnovoa6098]

Yeah sums it up

[@luizmarcondesmusica]

@@AZIZAxBLUE an introvert rockstar! he was unique ins so many ways! RIP Cornell.

[@Fuphyter]

And I thought we only had a birthday in common. Wow thanks for this

[@petebenzin]

really wish ppl would not scream at acoustic shows and be quiet and appreciate the artist and their music instead of listening to you scream and whistle. Yea we hear you and we all love this song. save it for the end of the song damn

[@AlmostGrewMyHair]

I really don't understand why people scream like that.

[@JGlass-os5th]

You read my mind!!!! Soooo annoying!!

[@joshriddle1710]

They should be punished for there screaming

[@lorenzohazelwood]

Yeah its annoying for us watching the video after, maybe for the people lucky enough to be there its just so exciting they feel they need too!

[@petebenzin]

@@lorenzohazelwood you know, I wish I could agree with you, and I might be wrong, but I would think that most artists might agree with me on this. I've even heard Neil young say this before that he would appreciate photos and clapping or yelling after each song. Me myself being a musician also feel it's a little distracting to hear screaming in the middle of a song. Maybe for some it's not as distracting, but for me, it could make me lose concentration while playing a song. Some artists it might not effect like that..... just sayin...

[@TheStupidcomment]

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAAAAAAAAAAAH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH WOOOOOOOOOOOO" The worst people.

[@zombocolypes5009]

I think it's better to have an audience who is silent, but listening intently at the artist's voice and capturing their true meaning instead of yelling and making noise. Also, now that Chris is gone, I'll never be able to see him live. I hope the afterlife treats you well. I'll never stop listening to your angelic voice.

[@adityap8746]

I get goosebumps every time I listen to an acoustic version of this song. The way his voice rings because of the reverb, his vibrato-everything just hits me right in the feels. Chris’s voice always has and always will. No one sings like you anymore, Chris. Rest In Peace brother.

[@LouisvanWyk1]

Rest in peace! The best song to mark this sad day

[@KEI-487]

I honestly think the audience is just part of the energy the performance gives.Kurt Cobain said “It's like a game of catch”🤷🏻‍♂️

[@cakeeater8493]

Yeah dude exactly just a game of catch🦉

[@chrisalbano2299]

Audience reaction is very important 💯, but both would do the same performance in front of 8 random people, the music is #1.

[@danyl4054]

I must have watched this wonderful version about 50 times already. Thank you for putting this up 👍👍👍

[@mikechamberjian1504]

I was at this show with a great friend front row . Best performance I've ever seen ! R.I.P. Chris .

[@Jerry-qj9xc]

Awesome 👍

[@firemeyer1256]

I cried when he died

[@yourenigma3803]

It’s 4:20am on the first day of 2022…. What are we gonna do? Chris said to seize the day!

[@yourenigma3803]

SEIZE THE DAY….. do you accept WW111. Get this ended…. I have time still to live, you do too…. Don’t let anyone steal it. Especially the govt or Trump or Putin!!! #Support Ukraine

[@HerreraCam]

Yes!

[@ashwinvishalvg]

🥺❤️

[@benjamincleveland9717]

im still in shock

[@timothyvontye7680]

First I've seen this.

[@sickboy7005]

I woke the same as any other day Except a voice was in my head It said seize the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade And watch the rolling heads The day I tried to live I stole a thousand beggar's change And gave it to the rich The day I tried to win I dangled from the power lines And let the martyrs stretch Singing One more time around Might do it One more time around Might make it One more time around Might do it One more time around The day I tried to live Words you say never seem To live up to the ones Inside your head The lives we make Never seem to ever get us anywhere But dead The day I tried to live I wallowed in the blood and mud with All the other pigs I woke the same as any other day you know I should have stayed in bed The day I tried to live I wallowed in the blood and mud with All the other pigs And I learned that I was a liar Just like you

[@musicforever4726]

Here's a great question...what guitar model was he playing? He is forever awesome.

[@emkaemka1]

rip.......

[@danhorvath3829]

Despite the drunken idiots making way too much noise . . . . What a real and heart-felt performance. Talk about true artistry! (In a way, hearing the idiots makes this performance more real, because it gives you a pretty good sense of what a practiced and focused artist Chris was....)

[@p0rn0saur]

what a loss

[@MrEplyn]

Lamentável

[@sethdrouin3871]

Wow I had no idea THOSE were the kind of fans he had to deal with...

[@peachyleafy7949]

i learned that chris cornell could have been a beegee just like youuu

[@publicity5279]

SO SAD

[@simonedevlin7710]

The mold was broken "the day you tried to live". Some of us just paddle our surfboards out as far as we can, then wait to catch the wave worth waiting for and ride it like a hero all the way to the shore.The ecstasy is in the journey.

[@BricksAndSparrows]

"Wow! This song is BEAUTIFUL! It's my favorite song! I think I will enjoy it by screaming and howling like a chimpanzee being raped! Cause ya know, then I will be able to hear it even better."

[@bantzrayder8976]

He using the same eebbbb tuning on the album or some other open tuning here? Anyone know by chance?

[@simmersound]

Open E. He had just played Seasons.

[@DavidePennaAudiorizonStudio]

I love this album so much! And Chris was for sure one of the best rock singers of all time. Sometimes I try to cover him and... here it is my cover of this song, a little tribute to a giant artist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4iYYX-CipuVoLs

[@TomMcMahonMUSIC]

No one sings like you anymore.

[@willymack44]

Hard to be a God.

[@willymack44]

Words you say. Never seem to live up to the ones inside your head.

[@willymack44]

One more time around

[@cali-B.the.G]

The Call of Duty, Warzone version of this song- I game each day as every single day except the win is in my head I use, aim and spray Pull the trigger, drop the clip and snipe the moving heads The day I tried to win A lost a hundred times and change And gave it to the best, nooo The day I tried to live My movement sucks keep getting stuck I slide into a ditch, nooo Saying one more game around (might win it) One more game around (might wreck it) One more game around (might win it) One more game around (might wreck it) The day I tried to win, nooo Plays we make, Never seem to live up to the ones inside my head, The kills we take, Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead The day I tried to win I lingered with the bots and newbs And I couldn’t hit shit, yeah Saying one more game around (might win it) One more game around (might wreck it) One more game around (might win it) One more game around (might wreck it) The day I tried to win, nooo I died I game each day, as every single day I hope I will make them all dead The day I tried to live I lingered with the bots and newbs And I couldn’t hit shit, yeah And I learned that I should retire I learned that I should retire I learned that I should retire I learned that I should retire Saying one more game around (might win it) One more game around (might wreck it) One more game around (might win it) One more game around (might wreck it) The day I tried to win Just like you Just like you One more game around One more game around - hellO :) The original song is a masterpiece. Every word. Mine is just for fun. If you’re depressed and ever want to talk to a random, I’m here for you. Positive energy, peace and blessings to you!

[@deibith666]

WHY THEY SCREAM??? FUCK!

[@thegoodsgone1965]

Screaming audiences are great - at a rock show. Acoustic shows, not so much.

Couldn't agree more

It's the beers fault for taking over

This guy is really good, it's a very hard song to cover

Damn, crowds really have the ability to ruin a song.

[@Sc2TheWarrior]

why do i fucking think that this performance is fucking awesome ?

[@noway1880]

Must've been pretty late at night. The whole crowd is too drunk and obnoxious. They ruined the song for the rest of us
