no matter how many years have passed, this will remain one of my favorite songs of all time

On a cobweb afternoon In a room full of emptiness By a freeway I confess I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death Reading how we'll die alone And if we're good, we'll lay to rest Anywhere we want to go In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone And on my deathbed I will pray To the gods and the angels Like a pagan to anyone Who will take me to heaven To a place I recall I was there so long ago The sky was bruised The wine was bled And there you led me on In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone Alone And on I read Until the day was gone And I sat in regret Of all the things I've done For all that I've blessed And all that I've wronged In dreams until my death I will wander on In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone Alone

What a tortured soul, he had such a beautiful voice. So recognizable no matter what band he's apart of, nobody sings like you anymore Chris. RIP 🧡 🖤

As Chester we miss you Chris... R.I.P One of the best Besties friends duo on rock history 🖤

A billion views. Chris, we will never forget you man. Congratulations to all the members of Audioslave.

When I was on a vacation to Los Angeles, I visited Chris's grave and quietly sang this song. I cried like a baby. A rock hero gone way too soon. As someone who's struggled with depression all his life, I related to Chris's battle. His music helps me keep up the fight.

Drinking on my own at home and just came across this song. My Mum my best friend loved Chris Cornell. Her taste in music just leaves me with a sense of her amazing,loving persona. I miss her everyday and listen to "her" music to be with her. What a mesmerizing voice.😢

rip chris, can't believe its been 7 years without u. no one sings like you anymore

I have never suffered the death of an artist as much as I have Cornell's. Three days later and I cry him like I lost a best friend. RIP, No one sings like you anymore.

7 years without you Chris 💔😭 R.I.P you Legend 🕊🙏❤️🤘

This song reminds me of my dad. He went to prison when he was 60 and died from cancer 6 months before his release. He was such a good father to me and I miss him so much.

Today I just wake up graving his music!! This is a master piece of feelings, talents, brokenness Here may 23.2004

I've always loved the way he's just sitting in a chair, being all casual, like he's not about to rock the world, and then he rocks the world. One of the greatest artists ever. I will miss him forever.

Lyrics: On a cobweb afternoon In a room full of emptiness By a freeway, I confess I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death Reading how we'll die alone And if we're good, we'll lay to rest Anywhere we wanna go In your house I long to be Room by room Patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone And on my deathbed, I will pray To the gods and the angels Like a pagan, to anyone Who will take me to heaven To a place I recall I was there so long ago The sky was bruised, the wine was bled And there you led me on In your house I long to be Room by room Patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone Alone And on I read Until the day was gone And I sat in regret Of all the things I've done For all that I've blessed And all that I've wronged In dreams until my death I will wonder on In your house I long to be Room by room Patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone Alone

Miss you cucaracho❤

RIP Chris Cornell may God keep you in Heaven, how I miss that unique and insurmountable voice 😢

This man voice was so good that he could sing in the same exact pitch live, without autotune or anything, just him and the microphone. That's how you know a singer is really incredible. RIP Chris Cornell, we will never forget your voice and your legacy in music.

still listening to this amazing song?

I have a 78 year old coworker who's always listening to rock and i love this song

I was at a karaoke celebrating my arrival in L.A. after 71 days wandering on the road across the continent when this song came on. Whoever requested it didn't take the stage, and the song just played. When it came time for the vocals to kick in, the entire audience burst out singing. Until that moment, I thought this song was something I adored but few others knew. Imagine my shock when these voices sprang up all around me. We were almost through the first stanza when the requester rushed back to claim the song. They cut the music and restarted it, but for a few more glorious seconds, we just kept singing. Just a chorus of voices, no music. For once, instead of swimming against the current, I felt in sync with the world. For a moment, the world was moving in my direction, singing my song, and welcoming me to join in. I will forever associate this song with that feeling of being connected to and a part of this world. Thank you, Chris. Your voice was with me through the wilderness, while I was lost in the cities and alone in the hills... and it was there again to welcome me back to civilization. Because of your songs, though I wandered, I did not wander alone.

Chris will be always remembered and his passing will not go in vein. Long live friend!

In Memory of Chris Cornell. July 20, 1964 - May 18, 2017🔥😎🤟🏻 2024

I’m so glad that this song has 1.1 billion view. Rest in heavenly peace Chris Cornell, the best vocalist ever… .

One of the most heartfelt and powerful songs ever written.

Still can't believe this man's gone! One of the greatest voices in music!

Happy birthday, Chris. And now... R.I.P. Chester. R.I.P. Chris. 2 good friends.

RIP Chris Cornell, and thank you for your music which will live forever!

This song always give me chills…dude was going through it while writing and singing. Rip big dog

This song is a lyrical, vocal, instrumental, compositional and production masterpiece.

As if mental health needed a bigger eye opener. To lose someone so loved by a lot of people worldwide, who spoke to them not many musicians can, to what might be suicide or at least mental health issues, is frightening. It's obvious that his amazing songwriting came from within, and spoke deeply and personally, which is why so many people connected with him and his music. Mental health is a serious issue and this is why mental health and mental health week needs to be addressed, it's not a taboo, people need people to talk to and to be listened by. For someone like Chris, with so many fans and so much love from around the globe, this speaks volumes as to how mental health can affect someone and it not be addressed or even noticed. RIP Chris, I was shocked when I read about your death yesterday morning. A serious talent and another master gone too soon, I really hope, if anything, this causes a reaction so people take mental health more seriously. Thank you Chris for speaking to me on a personal level, I too, have fallen on Black Days, but you were there to help me. It's going to take a long time to get over this one, and it's by far the biggest death of 2017. RIP Chris

I used to sing my little brother to sleep with this song before we were separated by the foster care system. This song is so meaningful for me. It reminds me of all the times we had, good and bad. Trauma dump rq: I come from an incredibly abusive household. My mother was not mentally able to take care of us. She was too depressed. My Step father was physically, se×ually, and mentally abusive. As the oldest of 4 I was left to raise my siblings. I have one with me, in the same house. The other two, I don't know if I'll ever see them again. My little brother was and is the light of my heart. He keeps me going. This song makes me feel like he is still here. I think what hurts the most is that my little boy is doing so good without me. I miss you buddy. I love you to the moon and back.

Waves in the Sky with such Voice!!!! Echoes through Iternity!!! Such a Bad Ass Voice!!! R.I.P

I know it's been almost a week ago now but , being the HUGE fan I am, it's really started to sink in the last cpl days. I think I've been in disbelief and somewhat in shock. This insanely talented man ....his voice....his lyrics, there can never be another. Thru happy times,sad times, some of the hardest times and life's pivotal moments, his voice carried me, held me, comforted me and pushed me back on my feet again. I just can't fathom the thought that the voice that could give anyone chills is gone forever. R.I.P Mr. Chris Cornell, you may have left our earth but you have also left us with one of the greatest gifts.....your music, and for that, I'll always be grateful.

One billion two hundred thirty eight million views. One of the top 10 performances of all time.

Man's voice is the instrument making the song the song!

Cobain, Staley and now Cornell, all that is left is Vedder! These youngsters have no idea how influential and amazing their voices were. All four from the Seattle scene and their voices fucking outstanding.. Stay strong Eddie!

R.I.P another legend. Gone but forever In our hearts. You'll never be forgotten, Chris.

May 2024 forever love this song.praise God

People think they can heal a soul but you cant, their pain comes from within, the lyrics and his voice says it all.

RIP Chris, one of the greatest rock voices ever...

"Even on my death bed, I will pray to the Gods and the Angels, like a pagan to anyone who will take me to Heaven...to a place I recall, I was there so long ago"....

Its will never be just a song, its a eternal piece of art!

"On my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels, like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven" I hope you found your peace Chris. Rest easy brother

this song has one of the best bridges ever. lyrics were always dark but seem darker after what happened

I forgot about this gem , God I love being born in the 80s and enjoying this kinda music when I was growing up

His voice was FUCKING AWESOME!!! 😱😱😱

RIP Chris Cornell - 18/05/2024

RIP Chris. Absolute Legend. Forever immortalized in your music.

Watching this feels like going through time machine. So many feelings.

7 years... legends never die my friend 🙏🏻

When I got the news that I had cancer, I listened to this song 20 times and cried all night. Months later,, when I found out the surgery was 100% successful in removing the cancer, I did the exact same thing again.

I get chills when I listen to this song.

I’m so happy he’s back! I can’t wait to see him! I’ve missed him so much! 💋♾️🇪🇬

I can't believe we lost another Rock God... RIP CHRIS! 🙏

Chris Cornell that's it. We love you Chris Cornell . Forever

probably the best rock song from this generation of music

thanks for all, Chris. R.I.P 🤘❤

Chris and Chester you guys will never be forgotten. Two friends who saved millions of lives.

2024 anyone?

This is one of the best songs written in my opinion everything together.

On a cob web afternoon, In a room full of emptiness By a freeway I confess I was lost in the pages of a book full of death; Reading how we'll die alone. And if we're good we'll lay to rest, Anywhere we want to go. In your house I long to be; Room by room patiently, I'll wait for you there like a stone. I'll wait for you there alone.

"The loneliest people are the kindest, the saddest people smile the brightest, and the most damaged people are the wisest. All because they don't wish to see others suffer like they do" ~ anonymous ~

That solo gives me chills

One of the best Epic rock bands ever. Synchronicity spot on.

One of my all time favorite songs! RIP beautiful Chris!

I fucking love this song. Legend.

May 2024 anyone here listening to the most powerful singer of all time?

"And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels, Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven;" You are in heaven my friend, I know you are, you deserve it...

This song has always been there for me all my life. RIP Chris Cornell, will appreciate the art you left us for decades to come

I havn't stopped listening to it since last week. I only typed his name in because i wanted to feel closer to my Mum. This song is just..wow. Something else!

This is a wonderful song I've played it so many times

I truly believe this is one of the best songs Chris Cornell ever wrote. Hits me every time no matter how much I listen to it.

Chris' voice is almost hypnotic. One of the best voices of all time. So wish he was still with us. It is so depressing that he is gone. This is a beautiful song. RIP Chris forever.

Beautiful. Texture and torture.

I freaking love this song and God rest his soul

Lyric: On a cobweb afternoon In a room full of emptiness By a freeway I confess I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death Reading how we'll die alone And if we're good, we'll lay to rest Anywhere we want to go In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone And on my deathbed I will pray To the gods and the angels Like a pagan to anyone Who will take me to heaven To a place I recall I was there so long ago The sky was bruised The wine was bled And there you led me on In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone Alone And on I read Until the day was gone And I sat in regret Of all the things I've done For all that I've blessed And all that I've wronged In dreams until my death I will wander on In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone Alone

I remember first hearing Chris' incredible voice when I was 4. I was sitting on the floor in the family living room, and the music video for Black Hole Sun came on. I was instantly hooked, and growing up I was always blown away by Chris' amazing vocal abilities. I loved how he could just belt notes effortlessly and I remember telling myself, "Wow, I wanna do that. I want to belt notes like Chris Cornell." He honestly inspired me to start singing and performing at an early age. So much that I continued with my passion and dream of becoming a musician and a performer, and I recently graduated college with a bachelors degree in Popular Music and performance. Chris Cornell has inspired many and touched many with his beautiful, unforgettable voice. Thank you Chris for the amazing music, talent, love, generosity, and pure heart that you shared with the world. You and your music will NOT be forgotten. Rest easy, we love you forever and ever!

RIP Chris. We miss you. Dont mind the people tryna get likes. You had fun and did what you needed to. We love you, brother. ❤

3:19 brought me tears! R.I.P.

R*I*P WILLIAM H. TEBO. THIS BAND JUST CAME OUT WHEN I LOST MY BROTHER, IN LOVIMG MEMORY OF: MY BROTHER, I MISS YOU SO MUCH. SEPT, 13,1974-APRIL, 15,2003.

Can anyone just see the pain in his eyes in this video.? Especially at timestamp 0:36-0:41 and the saddest is 3:41 I just wanna grab him and hug him right there.,, I don’t know why this video just gets me every time I miss your voice, Chris you were one of the best. I just wish you just reached out for help. I know easier said than done but you’re definitely missed deeply….,from Soundgarden to Audioslave. Your voice will forever be embedded in my head.❤.. PS I don’t care how many different drummers you had. I think you should’ve had me Audioslave to be honest. The drummer is just too rough with the sticks. He’s just banging every component way too hard.

One of the best songs ever written.

So sad man! All my favorite 90s singers are dead now! RIP Chris! May you find heaven!

The final chorus is some of the best singing Chris ever did. RIP man

Without my dad, I wouldn't know this song exist. THANK YOU DADD

I’m leaving this comment today so after a month or a year, when someone likes it, I get reminded of this masterpiece

We all know we gonna die and lose loved ones one day but nothing quite prepare us for when it actually happens. Thank you Chris for being there when i most needed. R.I.P

In my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever written that expresses the most emotion buried within someone struggling

This is a masterpiece , still reminding me how much the good music can vibe you deep

As long as humans exist, this song will be relevant 💖💖

This song is about a man waiting around to die. It's quite haunting & sad in its beauty.

You are immortal Chris, this song proves it.

I finally googled the lyrics and amazed how deep they were. A very powerful set of words describing a yearning for death and getting to heaven. Chris knew the power in word choice to paint a picture to his listeners. It grabs me and Im hooked. Beautiful talent in poetry. ❤ Miss you Chris, and May Jesus lead you home my friend.

Rest in peace Chris and my friend Ayoub 🙏🏻❤

On my Deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels, like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven. to a place i recall i was there so long ago................................ RIP CHRIS CORNELL>

This song is immortal..

I just heard someone play this song in my neighborhood

Best vocalist ever. The day he passed my sister immediately called me and asked me if I was okay.

Almost 1 billion views... Cornell has touched so many people's lives, and it's beautiful. Edit: He's done it. This video is now past 1 billion views. Here's to his music, and more importantly Chris Cornell himself. The world lost a musical genius when he died. Long live his memory, and long live this song.
