I envy anyone who was blessed to be able to see Chris Cornell live. Long live the soul of Chris Cornell, you are missed.

His vocal range and raw power was always insane, but people don't give him enough credit for how amazing of SINGER he was. Chris could sing anything, his covers always end up being better than the originals it seems.

"When I'm Down" What say you now? The door is, opening On your vigil And I'm in my usual way I'll save my breath, knowing What you're wanting me to say "I only love you, when I'm down" You say that midnight Opens it's song for me Leaving you alone And then I fly so far away Until the light blurs my vision And I have nowhere to roam I only love you when I'm down [Chorus:] And I only love you when I'm down And I'm only near you when I'm gone But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know That I'm down, all the time All the time [Bridge] I know you're reaching out And you need to feel my hand You wanna be understood Yeah, well I understand I know you hold Precious little hope for me And in your happiness I'm always drowning in my grief

[@e31arenas]

I can't begin to describe how epic Chris' voice is in this song. I've heard him crank out amazing vocals live. I've heard him live with Audioslave, solo concerts and his songbook series, but this song is the first time I've heard him with piano and it progresses into one of the most incredible perfomances of his career to date.

[@fullmetalfreedom]

[@blindmansbluff]

Susan Lee - I am a Freddie fan too, but though his voice was prettier in some respects, he lacked the warmth and soul of Chris. Freddie' s voice is like a laser beam. Chris's voice is like a volcano.

Well, I was at his LAST show in Detroit, and sadly, he sounded nothing like he did here!

[@jebjab22]

You are so lucky to have this as a memory. He's the greatest singer EVER PERIOD.

[@TomMcMahonMUSIC]

@@debbassgirl586 Honestly I noticed he was off back at the time of the audioslave reunion show, but thought it was a one-off, off night then saw his eyes during some of the Temple of the Dog tour shows, knew he was using something again, and I was worried about him. When I saw the footage from that last performance night you could tell his timing was off vocally on the phrasing in parts, not in being spontaneous and live, but just legitimately off time. Very sad to see happen to someone so brilliantly talented.

[@daleturner]

Wow... I've watched this vid 10 BILLION times, and am just NOW noticing that Jeff Buckley's PHONE is sitting to Mr. Cornell's left. R.I.P. to BOTH inimitable muso wizards. ❤😭❤😭❤

4 years and no one was able to sing so beautifully and move us like you C.C. We miss you

[@lobmo]

This song is by far the best song on Euphoria Morning. Mostly owed to the fact that it's probably the most emotionally honest song he's ever allowed the public to hear. His voice may be awesome most of the time, but this goes to show a form of pain and generosity rarely seen in rock music. Reminds me 100% of me and I'm sure many other whom shelter their emotions! Thank you Chris for being the emotional voice to the reclusive heart. :)

[@kristinekarlson113]

Absolute masterpiece. I had to comment, because this performance is criminally under-viewed. It’s one of the best pieces of songwriting and best performances of all time. He is so dearly missed.

[@tycobb3122]

Most people who have never sung a note dont get the uniqueness of this voice..how difficult is to get anywhere near the pitch and power of his voice..even if you cant sing for shit just try it out and see how your chords feel after one song..I cant believe he is still doing it spot on..amazing

[@Wimblin1961]

He had an amazing range and that's what makes him stand out.

[@withmygoodeyeclosed]

He was the best, there's no match. My favorite singer these days is MJK, he's amazingly emotive but it's in a way also filling a void, anytime I go back to a Cornell performance I'm remembered of that.

It hurts so much, for the art that keeps us alive as a species, brought forth from within the same electron fires that burn us from within, there must be an understanding met to precipitate those suffocating clouds of doubt that flow through our hearts.
