So many times I was asked why I listened to songs about depression ...... these songs were never about depression to me, they were about beating that shit and living. Thank you Chris and company, I'm still here and I will never forget.

[@IR0YsMyIB0Y]

Songs like this do have a depressive undertone, but they also possess an incredible bright side to them if you allow it. The grunge era songs are filled with life changing lyrics and riffs like nothing I’ve ever encountered. There can be no good with out evil, no happiness without sorrow. This song is so powerful it could be weaponized.

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.

I am always happy to hear of more people out there that Chris also gives hope to. If you have never heard of Audioslave, give them a listen as well. Chris Cornell was one of the greatest musicians to ever live, and he worked with some of the greatest musicians who ever lived, to create some of the most uplifting and unique "grunge" music that most people would probably just assume is "edgy and depressing" when his lyrics speak so many volumes. We lost him to a careless doctor, and we must never forget that. My love and support goes out to his wife in her legal battles. Stay strong. Ignore the haters.

Superunknown is such a friggin monolith of an album. 70 minutes long and not a nanosecond is wasted. It's an exploratory of the battle of the human condition, wreathed in haunted wails, bizarre tunings, and shadowy pop dissonance.

I was diagnosed bipolar 1 a few years ago. My cycles are seasonal and you can set your watch by them. This winter I tried to spend a day out of bed and listened to music for the first time in months. It was excruciating but this song came on. Nothing ever written describes more perfectly what mental illness is like. I was sobbing through the song but felt at peace as well because for the first time in a long time I didn’t feel alone. And I felt like someone as phenomenal as Chris Cornell would understand and wouldn’t see me like a freak show. What a wonderful man we were graced with.

[@profcastle]

Same diagnosis here and I relate completely. Last winter was so hard. Secluded myself nearly the entire season. One other song that really defines bipolar to me is moonlight sonata by beethoven. Some say he was bipolar as well and it seems he wouldn't be able to such an accurate depiction of the symptoms without first hand knowledge. The mood starts out in an obvious deep depression, which leads to an awakening of happiness, continues on into frantic mania, and eventually crashes back into depression. It's remarkable to me how vivid the story is even though there are no lyrics. Thought I would share. Maybe I'll get your take on the song. Goodluck on your journey. It's a hard road but we're not the only ones on it.

Im a bit of an autistic, diagnosed with borderline and split personality, depressed for a long long time with 5 suicide attempts. Cornell's lyrics always understood me and I felt them, that kind of music is the only thing I can feel. Ive been having therapy since march, its quite effective. Cheers to all of You coping with personal disorders and depression. We still have music. Keep trying every day, I do too.

Yes, i'm with borderline too, a bit depressed and major anxiety so I feel your words. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Motherlove Bone, Mad Season gives me the extra energy in the bad days. I quitted drinking and substance use almost 10 months ago. Feel so much better and more clearer than ever in my 35 years. Got my shit together and I'm so damn relieved. Alcohol and drugs made it worse in the long run, fed up with that going nowhere feeling. Love from Finland. Carry on, everything is possible and you are not alone. It's all in your mind, the good, the bad, the devil, the god. Peace and One Love.

Compared to all the other Seattle bands from the Grunge Era, I have to say after listening to this song, Black Hole Sun, Spoonman and more, I would say Soundgarden has the most unique and different sound for a "Grunge" band.

I remember listening this song when I was in my 8th grade (14 yrs). I felt something bad on me, an anguish, a pain... And in my country, march and april is autumn. The days were often gray, cloudy and sometimes raining with some cold too. This made the feeling go worse. At the era I didn't understand what was going on, but discovered this song in VH1 channel and was the 1st of Soundgarden after "Outshined" that I really enjoyed. So when I felt that "bad stuff" I always listened this and put on repeat. Still remember the cloudy school days when hear it. Years after, I realized me and Chris had a lot in common. Depression really sucks...

[@robdavies6027]

Only saw Soundgarden twice Once in 94 at Shepherds Bush Empire and then again 20 years later at Hyde Park. Hyde Park was the 20th anniversary of Superunknown and they played the whole thing. Spine tingling. They absolutely knocked it out of the park. That album, every track is magnificent. Zero filler. Still blasting it to this day. What a band.

[@tdawgz22]

I've never been super invested in Soundgarden, but when I heard the news this morning, my heart sank. As a musician, I have so much respect for these guys because of how the music they made, bettered the lives of so many people. Now I'm on a Soundgarden binge mostly out of sadness, as I've always admired Cornell's killer vocals. But to know that I'm never going to be able to experience the band's presence with their music is truly disheartening. The legacy he left will be everlasting, and though he's gone, we will always have his identity in our hearts, and his soul in the music. God bless, and R.I.P Chris, I'm happy that the pain is over for you, but heartbroken it had to be this way.

[@lauramorrison1175]

Audioslave - His voice is front and centre and WONDERFUL - I daresay, romantic

The hardest part about depression is never living up to the voices in your head. You always feel like you're on the outside looking in. You know who you are and who you need to be but fuck if you can live up to it ..

[@ChevisPreston]

It’s so easy to give up. It was a many many years process for me to… I mean, I still battle with it, but I guess I’ve found some reasons to lean into that feeling that ranges from discomfort to torture. It’s a hilarious predicament, that the solution I found to just wanting to give up, was struggling and struggling after giving up time and time again, until I did take those steps into the world outside my head. I regret a lot, and missed out on a ton, but I’m grateful to still be here now, and to be the person I am today. I hurt a lot of others, myself, but with a lot of pain and a lot of time I did find the other side. Eventually, I asked forgiveness from those I hurt, forgave myself, and as the years tick by, little by little all that shame I felt flaked off. Sure I’m vulnerable now, but even more so I wear that shit on my shoulder. It’s part of my story. Ain’t no shame to it.

But after struggling with substance use, on top of a long history of depression, I've come to explore more Soundgarden, and I feel such pain for Chris, because I know it too. In that way I've felt kinship with him and his desire to express and create. I am sorry he, or anyone for that matter, struggle with mental illness and addiction.
