@bingly bingler Chris Cornell suddenly died 5 days before this concert

@bingly bingler Soundgarden played the Fox Theater on 5/18. Hours later Chris was found dead in his Detroit hotel room. Norah played the same theater only 5 days later.

My family told me a couple months ago that they loved this song and she told me the lead singer killed himself and it just made me sad thinking about it. Today someone else told me about how he liked the song and how this cover had so much emotion. You can tell she’s genuinely feeling the emotion. It was awful (Chris's death) but I hope everyone here feels loved. 💙

@@robinwaters1581 omg gtfo i did not know they played this same venue before he died

And brave as well. Such an amazing artist and such an amazing tribute!

SAME

Never better said. I think the same

My appreciation for covers of this song weighs almost entirely on how those 6 words are performed.

@@ska4dragons you could be right. It's music, it's subjective like so many things in the live.

saaaame@@ska4dragons

Its an incredible cover. I noticed your name, it’s thai…. Do you live in thailand? I am in “CM” which is why I ask.

@IanKalway I live in CM during high season. I keep an apartment near Chiang Mai Gate. Keen perception on your part. Go to the Temple and make Merit.

;(

I still miss Chris Cornell in 2024.

THANK YOU FOR THE GORGEOUS STAGE LIGHTING SIR! Didn’t get a chance to ever see this poet ; Chris sing live. I was stuck in a religious cult for over 45 years… I wasn’t allowed to be me , or go for higher education, arts, sports, science, ect…. But I would secretly play the music, films, and read to inspire me to compose my jazz ballads, sing and song writing through the decades… alone; dreaming of ways to break free…. To share these vibes with the world…..( even though I suffer from stage fright).. lol Well, 4 years ago I found out that this delusional religion was being indicted for hiding thousands of cases of child sexual abuse cases from the police. Many have gone to jail as the cases are being tried all over the world as there are 8 million followers. Justice is being served.thank God. Anyway, I’ve been free to live my life since I walked away… 4 years ago; leaving 2 sisters , my X, and my 25 year old son ; who call me a traitor for leaving….. won’t have anything to do with me…. I’m not bitter….. I have a calling to compose ballads…… produced short films, at least 1 novel, and working on many inventions!…. I’m hoping to debut my debut vinyl coming out around Christmas 2024😊 Wanted to leave you with a couple of thoughts…. Chris birthday is July 20 1964…he was 52 Another hero of mine was Bruce Lee….. He passed July 20th 1973…he was 32 Just wondering…. how many geniuses have come and gone on that date?? …… a true gift of the universe!!!! …… just sayin Musicians are a gift from the universe….. as well as lighting engineers and hidden support staff…….we don’t have time to be bitter…. Many have suffered bizarre setbacks in their lifetimes…… Look at the brutal murder of a heroic leader NAVALNY….. and to add insult to injury…. Putin refuse to give her sons body to the mother for burial!!….. Sooooo, When you compare my tragedy against others….. Mine seems like a walk in the park…. Lol Just wanted to say….. thank you for putting the magic on all those stages over the years!!!!! Fans don’t think about all the beautiful extras that frame the artistic genius they pay to see……. Incidentally, I didn’t connect the dots about the Fox Theater….. even when the cameraman last shot…. was a vertical pan; from the front of the theater…. up to the neon fox lettering at the top…… I now get it…… you probably lit that stage a week before…. When Chris no doubt did that same masterpiece song there on May 18,2017. People may not realize…. He was YOUR FRIEND TOO….. !!!! Not just some client! not just some contractual duty to be there…… May 18, 2017 wasn’t that long ago……… you still hurt…… and it gets better…. But… never goes away…… I’m sorry you have gone through this pain…. may the creator of all….. heal you….. and cause your peace and wisdom be increased in these matters. When people leave us …. Unexpectedly….. forever… Like my 2 sisters and only son…… it was even “ worse “ than passing away…… because they chose……. to boycott my existence…… They know me to always be loving, rational, empathetic……. Don’t need alcohol or drugs… just coffee…….. my old piano, and my acoustic 12 string…… and plenty of paper and pencils ( I only use pencils to compose) Anyway……. Yet they judge me as a dark figure according to their delusional. propaganda. I’ve let it all go…… I love them…. and pray they all come to their senses one day…… But….. I’ve moved on. In closing……. I’ve subscribed to your wonderful channel showing all those beautiful lighting mosaics!! So cool….. If you ever get a chance Listen to this great song! It’s by FOY VANCE called: “IF CHRISTOPHER CALLS” Obviously, you may know of this poetic phenomenon from Ireland! There’s a verse that I will always think of CHRISTOPHER CORNELL when I hear : “It doesn't matter who it is Don't answer the door They only wanna ask if I'm alright Can't say yes anymore, but If Christopher calls Wake me up and let me know If Christopher calls And if Christopher calls Tell him that I held out hope If Christopher calls” This is a magical, wonderful world full of promise, life, children, ice cream,old movies….. and campfires, moonlit nights around the lake with friends!!!!!! Let God deal with the Tyrants and their Tyranny…SOMBOON….. This world is here…. mankind is here… for one divine purpose…. TO LOVE -AND BE LOVED! Thank you for fulfilling that mandate SOMBOON… ……. Keep changing the world…. for the better …… one show at a time 🕯 God bless you and your family brother. 🎼RAIN AGAIN 🎼

must have been really odd to play after something tragic happened the night before but as they say, the music must go o.

Such a classy lady to bring the show to Detroit, didn't even know that's where his last show was. Damn.

Scott Richards that’s so sad to watch.. RIP Chris we miss you ..

I just...no. I mean...wait. Holy shit. How did this woman make it through? I was 17 when this song came out in the early/mid 90s. I’m still incapable of even typing out a coherent comment that even barely touches on what this song means to me. Norah just said fuck it. She let her heart do the work. My heart would’ve stopped. Her’s didn’t. Wow.

That's just how musicians work. They use music constantly to convey their emotions.

Im just finding it tonight. Woah

Best cover I’ve heard.

🖤🖤🖤

Welcome to the club. :)

Heather Angel I’ve been listening to this since Chris passed, I still cry!!!

Their*

she does it every single time

Every day

Yeah sure. Give me 2 seconds.

Here here

I knew the last show was in Detroit, but I was wondering if this was the same theater. Thanks for posting.

Wow. Absolutely agree with your last sentence.

Actually this was the next night after Cornell played the same theater. Less than 24 hours later.

Actually Cornell played there on May 17 and Norah Jones was there on May 23.

Weird timing with this and Chester’s Soundgarden tribute too. Something serious is probably taking place in the shadows.

Same here friend 💗

Jap me too

Same it’s amazing

Same ❤ Oh My. It’s like champagne meets caviar. Such a delightful experience. Norah’s voice is drilled in my musical memory and so is that tune with Chris’ voice. I did not know cognitive dissonance could feel so pleasant.

It is. I can't stop watching this.

I'm not familiar with her, but I appreciate this. Beautiful.

I remember when I first heard about Chris Cornell passing away... I had just returned from a deployment in April and I was pretty messed up emotionally. Then I came across this tribute from Norah and the tears wouldn't stop flowing.

@@apollobro91_2 Thank you for defending our Freedom, Constitution and your service. God bless. For me, Chris' passing hit harder than most other musicians - I can honestly say I cried.

@@apollobro91_2 Chris was a poet...

Never knew that this existed. I wanted a song for today's eclipse. Marvellous

Right? Some of those chords she swapped out struck deep inside.

Great songs still sound great however they`re played.

ONe of the greatest pianist singer songwriters of ours or any generation. She is truly from the "less is more" camp, and her talent dwarfs most of her contemporaries.

She’s a trained jazz musician and singer. Very likely she knew the basic chord structure and lyrics, and just improvised this on the spot. Maybe did a couple rough takes during soundcheck. When you play jazz at this level it’s very easy to improvise something that sounds perfect and sculpted to the layman’s ears, she’s that good, seriously

Yes and emotion

Best cover ever period (in my opinion)

👍 yeah! Agreed! 👍

Haley Reinharts (Post Modern Jukebox) cover isn't bad either

@@ivancarvers5349 thanks for sharing..it is also very good.

I recommend listening to Jerry Cantrell and Ann Wilson covering the song in 2018. This is still good though!

An honest, clean, sober and elegant tribute. You can feel the true emotion of the tribute. Magnificent!

Nora Jones is the most boring singer ever...

John Harney: Very well said.... Norah indeed makes you feel like she is singing directly to you....... Absolutey. What a tribute to Chris.....RIP

She is magnificent.

Nicely said. I agree

@@immanuelangoluan4457 Go back to your Justin Bieber records and leave the real music to the adults.

mesmerized. connected, enraptured. experiencing love together. 100%. cheers.

Agreed. She’s from a massively talented musical family, so it was fate

Amen

@@jasbeav That's a misconception. Norah was estranged from one half of her extended family until she was 18, and didn't properly reconnect with them until she was already a world sensation who'd sold upwards of 30 million records. [at that point] The Indian half of her origins has little to NO impact on Norah's ability. It's actually a huge show of disrespect to Sue Jones, Norah's mother, who helped nurture and encourage the obvious talent Norah clearly has always had within her. Sue's music collection, what she did for a living, and the sorts of people Norah typically would have been able to meet, on account of her mother being a concert organiser, as well as Sue supporting her daughter's piano lessons and encouraging her to hone her singing at church choir [Which Jones did for nigh on a decade FTR] and other avenues, which helped shape what was to come. Her father by contrast, was a sitar maestro and one of India's biggest musical exports for sure, but no singer, and no disrespect to her half sister, Anouska, but she can't SING like Norah can sing. Not even close, and she's definitely aware of that and knows her older half sister has a gift there which she doesn't quite match. [We can interpret this via the two collaborations the half sisters have done, where Anouska quite naturally cedes vocal responsibilities to Norah, mostly backing up what her half sister does]

@@Requiemslove YOU are MISCONCEPTION

@@eliasbarnes4079 Alright... [Whistles, and walks off into the sunset]

Agree! ...This is so beautiful!

I agree with you beautiful this made tear up RIP Chris Cornell.

That's the best line of the song brother! Good form sir.

She's got nothing on Chris..

And we still listen to this 🥰

@@darrenpearson8451 op. Nj

I wasn't ready, Norah... gotdamn. 😢

Norah Jones is musically my accompany since she released her first Album. There is so much ease I find while listening to her, to her voice, to her playing the piano. But not only the voice. It is also the stories she tells. Almost a month ago I had to let go my souldog, who literally saved me when he stepped into my life nine years ago. The last four years we developed a strong bond; he showed me so much and it was because of him I decided to start to trust people. In the loneliest days he was the one friend, I walked with, I talked to, I danced with, I worked with, I was so thankful for him being at my side; he made me smile. Because of him I worked on myself to become a better version of myself. A few weeks before his passing I came across this song; I felt so much while listening to it; almost as if she is brightening this part in Chris' Cornell's song that lies in the shadows. After my dog's passing I listened so often to this song; to me, it feels like, I am stepping into darkness, and there is this voice, the piano, that picks my hand and helps me, to walk out of the dark, again and again. What a blessing Norah Jones is; an artist, rare to find.

@@sneza3204 You guys, such touching and heartfelt personal stories you share. I'm fighting to hold back tears here. You express what Norah's always been about to me. She's a brilliant musician but she's so underappreciated. And then tributes like this just show exactly what she's about. Music, it's so subjective, yea? But the thing is people who say "but I'm not really into this or that" overlook something vital. It's not what something is, it's how good someone is. Now I know very little about Soundgarden, less about Chris Cornell. I know they are a massive band who I have never personally looked up, truthfully I don't even know their sound, and I know that Chris Cornell had some "battles" and that he eventually lost and is DEARLY missed. But they were surely pretty special, and he was too. It comes through in this performance. Norah Jones, another brilliant and special musician, pouring her heart out, giving Chris Cornell a wonderful send off, with a cover of one of Soundgardens biggest songs unless I'm woefully mistaken. She does this. She picks people up when they fall. Of my own more personal story, I feel I owe my life to her FLH album way back in 2004, when it basically coaxed me through some very dark days when I was grieving the loss of my mum. I especially needed Norah when I was on this residential trip to Poland with other young adults [as I was back then] because nothing else could be a comfort to me in those times, and I was dreadful company anyway and didn't want to really even be there [on that trip] or "socialise" with others. It was that album specifically that changed my mind for me on that front. It seemed to say "Chin up lad, it can only get better... now take these headphones off and go and speak to someone, I'll still be here". And she was.

@@Requiemslove you should look up some of chris cornells music while in soundgarden and also with audio slave and some of his solo work .A couple of songs i can recommend are heavens dead by Audio Slave ,what you are, and a song he did live in concert with his daughter Tori called redemption songs . He was just as beautiful a soul as Nora is and the world is truly a lesser place without him here among us . Hang in there i'm sure your mom is just like mine ....looking down upon us and in some subtle way quiding us down a better path. We just need to try and see it. my heartfelt best wishes in your journey through this life ,may you find peace and happiness.

As a person that suffers from clinical depression and fights constantly to keep going, I thank you from my heart for your comment.

@@mave143 thans. You. Are ve Much

I have always felt a sense that I don't belong. I am a reasonably successful 40 y/old and there is still that little thing inside my brain that says "something isn't right". I hate that my parents implanted this in me but at the same time I am grateful that I am self-aware. I deal with depression every day. I self medicate. It isn't a path I can continue forever but for now I am maintaining.

@@stephenloflin9984 high Stephen, my name is chuck I suffer also and self medicate I hope you read this wanted to let you know your not alone..I hope you find some peace..chuck

I find peace, Chuck, I also have that nagging feeling that not only I don't belong, but would rather not belong. I am becoming a calming influence to people around me and I've found I have a wealth of knowledge to share. I'm gonna be alright, brother, but my brain chemistry right now is a case study in and of itself, lol. Thank you, Chuck.

Ditto........

Named my daughter after her...

I miss him too.

I have never googled "Norah Jones" so quickly in my life as I did to find out whether she'd died too

@@JohnNoirSmith Me too! Jeez!

Damn it the tears just came out my eyes

Dude FUCK YOU I thought norah Jones died you fuckin idiot.

Listen to the first, eponymous The Little Willie's album. That's when I fell in love with Norah. It's a great listen.

Once you really listen to Norah, you can never stop!!

@@tracyholt1963 THIS. Yes, she's great as a background setting or something to fall asleep to. But she REALLY shines when you pay attention to her. She sings with quiet infection and emotion that too few others can even begin to emulate never mind replicate. Even though she sings those 6 words in tribute to Chris Cornell as much as the literal meaning of said words, the fact is where Norah's concerned... no one sing's like HER anymore. I could probably go on about this for hours and hours, but I'll endeavour to control myself.

Never heard anyone say that personally, but not surprised. There are people that hear music, and there are people that experience music.

Good point.

No one has said that on here or in real life, so dont make up stuff for likes. This song has too much quality for that kind of pandering

Let suckers criticize she is so open n gorgeous in this amazing how heartache is universal

saintsteffie she actually voiced out his song as it would be from his heart.

Chris cornell

well said, Paul.

I'd friends at the concert he said to those who appreciated Chris for all he was and all we lost and even some just moved by the song there was a lot of cutting onions in the place, if you could amplify the quiet you'd probably have heard some quiet sniffles and sobbing. Tragic loss, beautiful tribute.

You have a very cool mom. Norah is awesome.

True

Like me, you have a Mom that loves you.

The most boring singer ever ...NJ

Perfectly put. Burn bright, little light.

Not sure I will ever understand or get over Chris' death. Everyday I think, if security had opened the door. If the bodyguard had forced his way through, maybe Chris could have been rescued in time. If, if, if,

Ken Nelson 😟😟😟😢

Agi -- I don't believe the so-called story of his death -- to.o many unanswered questions and contradiction ssurrounding it. Sure, I believe he passed on but not the way the media is telling -- his wife even has been questioning it...

Jodie Rossi I totally agree. to many unanswered questions. all most like a true cover up. just seems fishy to me. head trama and 9 broken ribs. were figure prints taken? there were 5 needle marks, from ems? and I'm sorry but he was a tall guy to pull off hanging from a shower spout, seems a little unfeasible to me. either way he's gone. may you rest in piece Chris your songs will always live on. no matter what really happened

Ken Nelson you're so right

Cycles between A minor and B flat or something weird like that.

The augmented and diminished trills she splashes in and out are mesmerizing.

@Under the Surface where is your music ?

mena souvlaki - LOL, relax, that was not a dig on your favorite song. You can understand music, and how to play it, without writing any hits.

G and G minor are quite ordinary keys, actually. This song goes between them (modal interchange) so you aren’t quite sure if it’s major or minor. It uses power chords a lot (there is no third in them, and it’s the 3rd of the scale that determines major or minor). Chris detuned his guitar, which is probably what you mean (it’s a bit sharp except for the base I think) but rest assured, nobody will do that on a grand piano-you’re right about that. Excellent cover. Ms Jones voice is really incredible.

He definitely would have loved it!

You have Great taste in all the bands mentioned!!!

I love this cover thank you Norah

RIP Chris

No dude, not “gentile.” Gentle?

No doubt. it always makes my eyes leak.

Absolutamente. Una verdadera joya.

Abso-fucken-lutely

No doubt

fell on black days

Pedro Pereira Neto b I 9

She played for him, she was performing in the same stage where he gave his Las lt performance a week before 😞

My dogs are sittin with me enjoying this in the rain. The tears I shed freely are without restraint.

I still listen to this everyday, every night as I fall asleep.

Hear, hear, surreality. Hear _fucking_ hear.

OMG YES!! My heart can't handle it, but I listen anyway. This IS the only suitable cover.

surreality me too. First time I stumbled upon this I wept from the chorus on for probably 10-15 minutes and I’m not a fan of her music, but this is beyond brilliant, the best cover of this song or Cornell. She captured Chris and his tortured soul here, in a song that was his heart on his sleeve. I could not love this version more, huge kudos to Norah Jones.

Beautiful version

DavidBranco75 This one made me cry, really cutting and intimate. ♥♥♥Chris

FacheChanteDeux Me too Dave. Right in front of my kids and stuff. Extremely touching indeed.

From Braga too. Portugal está com o Cornell!

E Escócia também

You do realize that Chris Cornell wrote that song. Probably one of the greatest performers of our lifetime. That's why Nora Jones covered it with her piano. She knew a great song when she heard it!

@@fasteddie617 Yeeeees. That's why I wrote "the best cover..." Maybe you meant to reply to someone else's comment...?

Yeah, I don't feel it. This sucks. Happy someone got something from it.

Patrick Channing II yup

Fast Eddie, I heard it from chris first as well but Peter frampton does a hell of a rendition of his original as he wrote it

Absurdist instantly, when you here her voice..

Add that to the tears

Absurdist same... and tears

Me ❤❤❤❤ tooo

nanotam89 the world is worse off without him. I can't believe all my grunge heroes are falling one by one. if I could, I'd kidnap Eddie Vedder and keep him well fed and healthy in my basement. he's the last grunge God standing.

nanotam89 dear lord.... we'll give u Kanye of give back Chris!!!!

I cannot imagine the burden of being the first to be on stage since Chris was last there, but did she ever do him justice. You can feel his presence through the video!

fuck thats crazy man...

😢

Happy Birthday today, Jul 20th, Chris Cornell, very saddened to hear about Chris Cornell's friend Chester of Linkin Park. What is going on!? May they RIP :'(

We’re all in this together my friend ❤

That sounds like a great idea! I think I’ll do that the next few nights, thanks so much for the inspiration 🙏

Chills! What an amazing and beautiful tribute to Chris Cornell just 5 days after his passing on the same stage he just performed at the Fox Theater. Wow!

awesome!

The right people always pay it forward.

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Shut up.

Chris had such a great voice..I feel sorry for those who weren't able to enjoy Soundgarden

jaro Sikl Enjoying the moment is more important than busting out a phone during an amazing performance anyways

landonfolken03 ^says the person who watched the video.... .lol

I was at the Soundgarden show at the Fox and felt the same way - enjoy the moment, leave your phone in your pocket - but I can tell you how grateful I am that others didn't do that. There is a 13 minute recording of the very last song he ever performed and it was taken from right behind me. I'm very very grateful for that recording.

The correct way to enjoy a concert, tbh, though if weren't for the person that recorded this, tears weren't flowing now...

This wasn't recorded on a cell phone.

I live in Jacksonville! im so happy you got to experience that!

I got to see soundgarden in jax it was amazing

I live a few hours from Jacksonville... Cocoa Beach to be exact. I'm jealous you had the opportunity to experience that. She sounds amazing!!!!

Classic and classy. You’re a person of utmost tastes, my man. I have chills all over from this. Wow isn’t a strong enough word for my feels right now. This is beautiful.

I envy you, this is AMAZING!
