      This was pulled down several years ago when he died.
      Randomly "Chris Cornell" pops into my head, I"m like Maaan, Alllright brain (I woke up to the song, Show me how to live, in my head.) and then I saw this song, which I totally thought they still kept offline (never once did it show up on recommended).
      Just wanted you to know, this song was an 'issue' for yoututbe after he (Cornell) died.

      Rishabh Bose, that's true! His lyrics, singing, and writing were all awesome. He was such an independent musician, too, he could've done so much just on his own.
      I'm not saying that's "wasted potential" because he was with other bands for so long. In fact, I'd say it's the _opposite!_ He was incredible, inspirational, and will certainly be missed, not only for his influence on others, but for the wonderful masterpieces he created in his time. The fact that he could do so much in such little time, however, is just a true show of how skilled and amazing he was at what he did.
      He found what he loved, and, even if it didn't end well... I admire the beauty and the wonders Chris has contributed to and made.
      What a skilled, beautiful, and certainly _remarkable_ man.

    Every little key unlocks the door,
    Every little secret has a lie
    Trying to take a picture of the sun
    It won't help you to see the light
    Every little word upon your lips
    Makes a little cut where blood pours out
    Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won't miss
    Not for anything
    And I nearly forgot my broken heart
    It's taking me miles away,
    From the memory of how we broke apart
    Here we go round again

I've yet to hear one of his songs that I didn't like. He's a lot like Robert Smith in that his lyrics are more like poetry. I hate that he's gone but I'm glad he was here.

    I saw Chris live on his last birthday (July 20th 2016) at the Fox Theater in Spokane WA. I remember the day he passed away. I received the news myself during my lunch period in freshman year of high school. I couldn’t finish that school day. He was by far my favorite musician and my inspiration for taking up the guitar. It was actually the song Rusty Cage featured in GTA San Andreas that introduced me to the world of music. He was too young to die man…

    Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart
    Chris Cornell
    Every time I stare into the sun
    Trying to find a reason to go on
    All I ever get is burned and blind
    Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain
    When you came along the time was right
    Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
    Wasn't very long you took a bite
    And did me wrong, and it serves me right
    And I nearly forgot my broken heart
    It's taking me miles away,
    From the memory of how we broke apart
    Here we go round again, again
    Every little key unlocks the door
    Every little secret has a lie
    Tryna take a picture of the sun
    And it won't help you to see the light
    Every little word upon your lips
    Makes a little cut where blood pours out
    Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won't miss
    Not for anything
    And I nearly forgot my broken heart
    It's taking me miles away,
    From the memory of how we broke apart
    Here we go round again
    Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
    In broken little pieces and you know I need this
    Like a hole in the head
    Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
    In broken little pieces and you know I need this
    Like a hole in the head
    And I nearly forgot my broken heart
    It's taking me miles away,
    From the memory of how we broke apart
    Here we go round again
    And I nearly forgot my broken heart

      Depression is a self inflicted wound. You need to accept what is as it is and take each day as a new gift. Don’t look at days of the week or weeks of a year. Look at yourself and see that you woke up you get to breath another day. You have a reason to be here even if you can’t see it yet. Depression is a thought. You can feel fine and be depressed you can feel terrible and not be depressed. The only person who can beat it or has even a chance Is you!! Live for the moment look around at the world the nature of this world. What we don’t understand…. Just take a minute and look for the food in today. And yes do that each day. And stop worrying about what everyone else thinks or does. Be yourself and find Just baby steps to get you going. Looking at a flower or an animal. Watching the clouds change. It’s ok to be depressed but don’t let it own you, because only you own yourself!! -RJL

    Part of the brilliance of Chris Cornell to me is he doesn't write the same songs over & over again. Look at Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of Dog & his solo stuff. You can easily tell which song is from which. Then in each of those songs none of them sound similar.

    I am completely embarrassed to say that I didn't know this artist until the news broke worldwide recently (don't flame me). Incredible. This song and video is pure class. I love the alternative video to the song that was shown on a recent TV special along with other performances. I feel cheated I'll never see him live. But at least I have this. Thanks Chris RIP.

From 'The day I tried to live' to this Chris told you exactly how he felt. The ending was not the surprise for anyone who was a fan and listened to his lyrics.

  • @vitorkaique5782
    @vitorkaique5782 Před rokem +8

    This man was one of the last most talented musicians to walk this earth, Cornell was skilled in his compositions, an extreme facility to expose his vulnerability and make one reflect, a true poet. He was an excellent musician, he played drums, bass and guitar well, and before he was a singer he also composed songs thinking about the voice-drums timing for the best fit. And the vocal talent, able to reach beyond octaves, raise the tones and have a very powerful voice timbre for a man.
    This man, for those who appreciate good music, organic music, he was a possessor of ability, competence and mastery.

    Whether as a solo act or singer of Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog, Chris Cornell has been behind some of the biggest and best songs in Rock!! When asked what inspired him to write this song he talked about what happens when someone suddenly realises they are moving on with their lives after a bad experience and feeling like life is going to be black forever - a very reflective song about simply not wanting to and not having to be in that miserable place any more.......

He has never changed in mastering his vocals, lyrics and performances. He was always a constant in all of our lives whether we knew him a long time or a small amount of time. So many musicians change to make more money---Peter Steele of Type O Negative didn't change, Bob Seger didn't change and Chris Cornall didn't change his style either. Thank God we are blessed with musicians we can count on for being there for us through thick and thin----we all have had in my opinion a great relationship with Chris over the years---he was easy to love.---Loud Love Chris R.I.P
