"Fell on Black Days" by Soundgarden - Adam Pearce (Acoustic Cover)

Oddly enough, I didn't discover Chris Cornell through Soundgarden. It was through Audioslave. I grew up in a small town that wasn't exactly musically "cultured". I only had country and top 40 radio, and Audioslave was popular enough to make it to the radio. I loved them so much.
Only then did I start delving into Soundgarden, and this song quickly rose to the top of my favorites. I've been jamming it ever since. Hope you appreciate it like I do!

Lyrics:
Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time
Now I'm doing time
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
Whomsoever I've cured, I've sickened now
And whomsoever I've cradled, I've put you down
I'm a search light soul they say
But I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking when I get it right
When I get it right
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate? Yeah
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
So what you wanted to see good
Has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours
Has made it mine
Don't you lock up something
That you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No, not tying, no, not tying
I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
Yeah, I sure don't mind, sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
I sure don't mind a change

Great choices 👌

[@merisonola]

I feel like "When I'm down" could quite possibly be one of the most underrated or overlooked performances in music. Him doing that with the solo piano proved how amazing his vocal range and soul really was.

Sang your heart out and made it your own. Also random, but I love your hair.

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Well thank ya very much! For both compliments!

[@lacautsskar]

I always felt "Fell On Black Days" was a little bit "bluesy" in some way, maybe the voice full of darkness in a beautiful melody like the first pioners of blues like Robert Johnson (a similar vibe), and just a guitar on clean input playing all that needs (a riff made from a pentatonic scale). You taked this and put your sign with a "country" voice, what got very well and coincidently, fell like a glove! Congrats, man. Chris is my biggest influence too.

[@AdamPearceMusic]

This was a very cool and insightful comment. Thanks for sharing and k glad you liked my version!
