Mike Love "Seasons" Tribute to Chris Cornell

I was at that same Soundgarden show as Mike in '97 at Blaisdell! Big fan so I was saddened as well. Mike called and said he wanted to come over and give a tribute to the late and truly great Chris Cornell and so thanks to Mike, for a message we should all try to remember and for sharing some of Cornell's soulful emotion. And thank you for listening and sharing. Aloha!

[@moleisrich1]

I have to stop by every once in a while and watch this amazing performance. And every time I sit in awe . Such a fantastic job bro. Thank you

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Same. I’ve been coming back since the first day it was posted.

[@beardedsquid9994]

100% agree. I listen every now and again and I'm equally blown away every time. Heartfelt tribute to Chris.

Looks like we're a group, here.

[@staff72]

Me too.. Beautiful cover

[@Liverastic]

This is my absolute favorite tribute of Chris'... and I've seen them all. Mike's performance kills me every time. In terms of his emotional investment in what Chris contributed to the culture of humanity in the past 30 years and his incredible talent. His prologue to the music, his ability to absorb Chris' thoughts and pain, is a superhuman set of skills and capabilities. Seasons is Chris's very first steps outside the shadow of Soundgarden. No Kim, Ben, Matt, Hiro or Jason. This performance absolutely adds to Chris' legacy as a songwriter.... and more simply a conveyor of emotions and heart and feel. A set of skills that most of this earth's population, and certainly myself lack more often than not. Thank you Mike Love for the bravery to put yourself out there like all the great artists before you. And damn dude, you can play and sing.

[@feend0g]

The mirror shows another face, another Face to hide it all. This is so true and you explain it so well, we need to help each other. I loved Chris Cornell and his talent since the beginning days of Sound Garden, Temple of the Dog, etc. As I sit in my garage contemplating life, this song and your tribute brings me back. He was truly a great soul. Thank you brother.

[@erikcox8749]

I was a teenager when the Seattle scene hit. There's something to those bands, their music was something deep. Made me become a musician like many others but mostly a fan so I get where you're coming from ✌️💙

[@feend0g]

@@erikcox8749 I was a teenager in the 80's. My influences in the 80s were Metallica(James Hetfield), Judas Priest(Rob Halford), Motley Crew(Vince Neil), Steve Miller Band, Aerosmith(Steven Tyler), Led Zepplin(Robert Plant) Slayer(Tom Araya), Queensryche(Geoff Tate), Megadeth(Dave Mustaine), Ratt(Steven Pearcy), Prince - yes I said that he was a genius and belongs in this group. I went the gamut in my musical taste and my list is so much longer. But, when the grunge age became mainstream in the 90s, Pearl Jam(Eddie Vedder), Stone Temple Pilots(Scott Wieland), Alice in Chains(Layne Staley), I really was drawn to some serious talent. But of all them, Chris Cornell held my attention the most. Without a doubt he was one of the most gifted musicians, vocalist, writers and performers on the planet. Black Hole Sun, Super Unknown, Rusty Cage, Say hello 2 heaven, Outshined, I was hooked! He came Atlanta and performed at the Fox Theatre his last year before he died. I said, I have to go and did not make the time. Man did I regret that. Funny story, I saw Stone Temple Pilots in Alpharetta and the lead band was absolutely horrible! My wife who is not really into my music said, "Is STP going to be this bad?". I was like hell no, they will be a total different experience and he did not disappoint! That was the year before he overdosed, great talent and artist. His unplugged versions of his work are amazing, Plush is a good example. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rInIaHt_rql1mqc Grind on brother and if you ever need help, ask for it man. Too many gone way to soon, not sure they really understood the impact they made on others in their darkest hours. ;-) RIP to all of those shredding in heaven. Oh, try this version from Daniel Lima, dude made one of the best renditions I have ever heard. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJm2ZaSifseEatk

[@gchesterton]

I think he would have loved this version.

[@MrSpitlip]

Yes i agree, Chris would have loved your vesion Mike!!!......awsome tribute!!!

[@LeavingEZ]

I'm sure he would! Oh fuck, I miss him so much...

[@4171julian]

So do I. Beautiful tribute through his spoken words & singing beautiful Chris's song. Lovely tone to Mike's voice.

our pain and our loss :(

[@alldaybrekkie]

Wow beautiful version. Great tribute. Respect.

[@Hawaiian_Brian]

My friends and I say, "super talented guy" every single time we listen to him.

[@Tbizzz42]

He truly did have a one of a kind voice. I would brag about his voice all the time to people; nothing compared and nothing ever will. We really lost a legend.

[@JediLennon]

That was absolutely beautiful and a flawless perfectly soulful rendition! You can see on his face the love he had for Chris. Brought tears to my eyes.

[@christineg.3211]

Jedi Lennon ! Agree 💯

[@tomjobs6196]

Did me the same way. What a rare treat

[@PublicWifi]

You're right. We tend to internalize our own burdens while attempting to accommodate others. Amazing cover!!

[@PublicWifi]

Keep coming back for this cover. I never hear 12 strings.

[@MuseCatherine]

I feel physically sick that Chris is forever gone.

[@johndoe5005]

chris will never leave our hearts. its sad that his craftwork ended with his flight from mortal coil. with every new day comes the memory of his heartfelt contribution to humanity. l look to his time with us as a reminder of how fleeting our time here is. instead of fretting over what should have been l take comfort knowing that his songs inspire me to comprehend more than the eyes can see

[@boudreux9318]

I just came across this, more than 2 years after Chris's passing. First time since then that I've had hope that someone can keep the spirit of Chris alive. This version would make him smile. Thank you Mike. This was awesome. On so many levels.

[@johndoe5005]

mahalo my brother. chris has got to be looking upon you with a giant grin. you captured the spirit of that pc and set it free on gossamer wings. for the rest of my time on this rock my heart will reflect upon the introspection you bring to this beautiful song and the profound tragedy that surrounds it

[@aliknott]

One of the most beautiful and honest versions of this song

[@MaXaNoMaLoUs]

I wasn't expecting it to be as good as I just witnessed! Got me crying hard, one of my favorite songs as well. Chris's choice of chords and his bluesy approach to folk... Awesome tribute. RIP

[@greateralexander]

Mike Love. What a tribute. You feel Chris' essence through the song. This is how you do a cover.

[@fireloidupshaw976]

I was 17 the first time I heard Soundgarden. Louder Than Love. It was a musical evolution for me....completely blew the doors off the cage of same ol' music that I had confined myself to. As someone who has struggled with depression and darkness, I heard lyrics that I could deeply identify with....lyrics that let me know I was not alone. Thank you Mike Love. You have comforted me today. Once again, I am not alone.

[@Tuziiiiin]

Made me cry, man...

[@my2cents2u]

We've lost many music icons over the years, but I must say that the amount of love and sorrow, expressed by people around the world in reaction to Chris' death, is absolutely phenomenal. The outpouring of grief and shock from fans, the media, and especially fellow singers and musicians, is a testament not only to his talents, but to his character as well. So many fans have expressed their gratitude for his inspiration, and for his music getting them through some very dark times in their lives. The musical tributes from his peers, in respect and admiration for one of the nicest people in the business, is overwhelming. It will take awhile, but I intend to watch every single one of them. RIP Chris Cornell. You stood among giants, and towered above them.

I've seen every single tribute to Chris so far, and this is by far the best. Heartfelt, and Mike makes me feel his pain inside, and is sharing mine. The upside to all of this, is that I just learned about Mike Love.

Who is Mike Love and where has he been hiding?!?

[@undeadminion811]

Monica - that's a bit easier said than done when we live in a society that places the idea of value on a piece of paper or shiny rock and views vulnerability and depression as a weakness among the competitive masses. While I fully agree with your statement, I wish those willing to be vulnerable could find someone willing to listen.

Curious about his change of lyrics. “If I should be short on words, no more things to say.” Originally it says “...long on things to say”. I wonder has Mike always sang it that way? Did he change it this time in particular in light of Chris’s passing?
