I think I read somewhere that they filmed this in a house that Jimi Hendrix owned or once lived in, a fellow native of Seattle. I kinda like the feel and connection of them roaming those rooms perhaps spiritually connecting with a groove or vibe that lingers on.

''Audioslave - Show Me How to Live'' is a must listen if you want to hear him really belt out his vocal power, plus the video is cool too

[@sluggernott]

Agree. That songs is SO good, too.

[@vanessarupe2039]

YES!

[@Joelyne37]

This song is very haunting to listen to after his death. It's essentially about him waiting for death, and Chris was known to suffer from depression, so to know years ago that he wrote a song like this about waiting for death to come and take him leaves me with a very sad feeling. The song is beautiful but it takes on even more weight after his tragic passing

[@meganbreen255]

I feltthe same way... i hadnt listened to it since his passing, it definitely holds new meaning for me now knowing what i know.. rip chris

It really is. I'll second this sentiment. We dont think about the actual passionate meaning of the lyrics until they're gone.

[@davidwitt5585]

Chris Cornell was the singer of Soundgarden, part of that Four Horsemen of Grunge that came out in the early 90s.....Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam. His voice has some really gross range and grit. This is a really good song, but you can listen to some other songs on the album if you want to hear him really let loose....something like Show Me How to Live.

I'm SO happy you broke it down and got the real meaning!!! I'm very happy you got that he meant ANYONE, who could bring him peace!!! RIp Chris!! He was also in Soundgarden back in the day, when I was growing up. He was in lots of bands, I forget the number. Anyway, Soundgarden and Audioslave are my favs he was in. He messed up his larynx singing too, but he was SO GREAT!! He was called, The Voice by some, I don't remember where it originated from. It seems like he was called the Golden Voice, as well, idk. His suicide is greatly contested by many, including his wife. The medication he was on could make you more depressed, even suicidal. I know she had it in the courts, I don't recall if it has reached a verdict, or whatnot. He was soulful, beautiful, and extremely talented, in any event!! Amanda

[@xScooterAZx]

RIP Chris,.forever. Chris Cornell (the lead singer) had one of the finest voices in music. It is sorely missed. I was given a gift for my birthday years ago by a close friend who knew him. We went to Seattle from Oly to a tavern beneath the overhead for a few drinks. I'm sitting there and here comes this tall slender long haired gorgeous guy,right up behind me. He hugged me and said Happy Birthday to me. My friend had set up this wonderful B'day gift.

[@chadd3299]

Fell on Black Days and Nothing Compares 2 U both from his Sirius XM live studio show are some of the best showcases of his voice. Nothing Compares 2 U gets all the love because of what the song is and his rendition is so heartfelt, but I think his vocals shine more on that Sirius version of Fell on Black Days. Also, Hunger Strike or Say Hello to Heaven both by Temple of The Dog are great showcases of his vocals…along with Eddie from Pearl Jam. If you want the best Audioslave song, check out I am the highway. The whole 2002 album is terrific.

[@NikKnows404]

Chris Cornell's voice will never be replicated. The haunting sound, the range, the gravel....God I loved hearing that man sing. I really hate that we lost him. It's definitely worth pointing out that he struggled with depression pretty badly - I feel like he was always searching for something that would make him feel...happy, sad, angry...just something to make him FEEL like that lingering emptiness was filled for good. But he never could discover what the "it" was for him, and when nothing (not even his kids) could make that emptiness turn to contentment, he felt happiness was intangible. And that, it seems like, was just too much to bear for the rest of his life.

I've listened to this song and many Soundgarden songs so much, that if they were in cassette or cd form, they'd be worn out, lol!! I also love Rage, of course. My teen years consisted of A LOT of music, and Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden were heavy in my playlists, or mixed tapes back then, haha!! I still listen to tons of music, and they still remain. I've widened my music horizons over the years to include so many amazing types of music. So, I really love seeing others do the same by listening to “my" music!! Take Care, Amanda

[@demonicgaminginc.4746]

The Bass player described that the song is about an old man waiting for death. He sits in a house alone after all his friends and family have passed on before him. He is waiting to be reunited with them. Chris Cornell said this song was about finding God through means other than the traditional monotheistic way of thinking. Which both makes sense based on this phrase. “To anyone who will take me to haven. To a place I recall, I was there so long ago.“. Heaven in this case would be being with the people metaphorically lost. To anyone who will take me there makes sense in the context of getting to heaven in a non traditional monotheistic way. Also that video is shot is Jimi Hendrix’s old house where he wrote “Purple Haze.”.

First time watching one of your videos. Really like you “break-down” style, more than just a “reaction”. I’ll definitely be checking out more videos. Chris is part of that 80-90s rock era where the songs meant one thing to them, but they encourage fans to take any meaning that helped them from a song. Before you could just look up a meaning, you would be in your car or laying on the floor listening to music and just contemplating meaning in lyrics.
