Soundgarden has this energy that is so hard to explain. They are ethereal

"I wasn't good in school. I didn't do sports. I sat in the bedroom and listened to records. Because the Beatles did whatever they wanted to, I took that as a kid and said, 'That's what rock is." - Chris Cornell

My brother died last week and we played this at his send off for cremation today. RIP all those who we loved.

Chris Cornell's voice is so expressive and incredible

This song falls into the category of masterpiece. I miss this band terribly.

This is the perfect sound. The riffs, the fucking insane bass, his incredible voice. This is peak rock. They were gods.

One of the greatest rock songs of all time imo

If you're listening to this in 2024, you have great taste in music!

"Would you cry for me?" Millions are crying tears of sadness for you, Chris. We love you! RIP

I was very fortunate to meet Chris before he passed, and I was lucky to talk to him for a while! He answered all the questions I wanted to know, and we talked about Soundgarden, his solo albums, Audioslave, and the recent reunion of temple of the dog. He was super kind, and signed a bunch of things for me. I also got one of his guitar pics! I brought Audioslaves self titled vinyl in to get him to sign, and he was super excited to see the vinyl. I told him how big of an inspiration he was to me, and how much his music meant to me. I was very nervous before meeting him, but as soon as I did I wasn’t nervous at all. He was just a regular down to earth laid back guy, and was so cool to me. I met him before his last concert on the Higher Truth tour. I lucked out and got a meet n greet with him before his set. The coolest part of the night for me was when he walked out on stage and looked into the audience. He saw me in row 2 on the floor, and looked at me and smiled and pointed at me. He instantly recognized me after just meeting him of course, so that was very cool and such an awesome moment in my life. Thanks For all the great memories Chris. I will cherish your music forever! What a True gentleman, and it was such an honour getting to meet my hero.

I have been around for 73 years and CC is by far my favourite male vocalist. RIP CC you are being missed.

Matt Cameron’s drumming on this album is world class. It makes a huge impact!

The riffs. Jesus, the riffs.

This song is gonna be 25 years old this year. RIP Chris, thank you.

When 4 guys walking in the desert was enough to make a great musical video.

"Cornell had the songwriting skills of the Beatles, the weight of Black Sabbah, and a powerful voice like Mercury." - DAVE GROHL He was everything!!

Soundgarden needs to get into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame sometime soon. They're too good to not be there.

From around '92 - '96 was probably one of the greatest rock 'renaissances' in modern history. It wasn't 'hair band,' it wasn't 'new wave,' it was something totally new and 'groundbreaking.'

Your brain rewires the instant this song starts . It’s another place , it’s talent , precision, another galaxy . Miss all of this .

So glad I grew up in the 90's. No one can take that away 🤘

Cornell is hands down one of the best vocalist ever. period. not open for discussion

Was working event security in the 90's at Mississippi nights and he actually thanked me shook hands for not roughing up a over zealous fan. We are gonna miss him

5 years. Its been five years since we lost our best friend. He still lives on in his music,but were in a dry desert without him. I'm sure we can all agree that Soundgarden brought us together and we may never meet in person,but we are always going to be dear friends when we meet here to listen to these,our musical hero's. I miss you Chris.

Soundgarden were the Zeppelin of their generation. One of their best songs.

This song is definitely one of the highlights of Soundgarden's career.

Chris Cornell his voice is unreal . One of the greatest of all time. Period........

I'm almost 60. Grew up with incredible singers from the 70's. Just discovered Chris Cornell a couple of years ago. Unbelievable vocalist! In my top 3 for sure. What a talent he was. This song will never grow old.

No one sings like you anymore... RIP Chris, the most amazing singer-song writer of our generation...

We're still crying for you, Chris!

The soundtrack of my teen years: Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, STP, Pearl Jam. I feel very proud of it.

Who's here in 2024 .. Soundgarden and Cornell are timeless 😎

One of the best pieces of music ever created. Rest in peace Chris.

the first note Cornell hits when he starts signing is incredible

That bass line is beautiful

Listening to Soundgarden deserves a great bourbon to go with it. Now that's what I call heaven., A Soundgarden concert and a high end bourbon.

I have been singing this song for 25 years. I'm not even close, but I get goosebumps every time. In my top 5 for sure.

This man was here for me when nobody else was, and pulled me through some tough times. R.I.P. to the greatest of all time.

Hands down the best vocalist of this era. What a range! Staley came in at a close second to me, but Cornell, untouchable! Thanks for the wonderful music and memories. R.I.P.

Yes Chris. I cry for you often, and every single time I hear your pain-riddled voice... I pray that you have finally found peace....

Incredible Voice, deep lyrics and a very talented musician. Probably the most original sound out of the grunge rock era. The music style with Chris's voice is mind blowing for sure. Always will love it.

RIP Chris...thanks for the memories......gone too early.

Man, this guy had an awesome singing voice.

I keep coming back to Soundgarden when i want to hear a voice that only comes around once in a lifetime.

This is my favorite song of all time. Chris’ voice is so powerful and has such personality behind it. I miss you everyday Chris :(

as a black guy, my friends couldn't believe i was into this music. man, the memories. Guess i was weird. i love being weird.

September 1996 - Freshman in high school. I hung with the older kids and smoked grass constantly. There were always a few pads where we could hang after getting stoned in the woods. I remember sitting on a couch in one of them, zoned out, watching this video. I liked it. I liked it a lot. In 96 we were introduced to most music through MTV (taking it for granted, thinking it had always been that way and it would always stay that way. Little did I know - like the VCR and video store - it just blew up like '82 and it would be dead in about six years). Soundgarden was huge in 94=95 and this was the first tune off their new album. As a burnt out teen who gave a fuck about nothing, this was cool. I was totally content with the content the mass media and pop culture were feeding me. This song struck me. Chris Cornell's vocals reached the highest levels I'd ever heard in mainstream music. This wasn't even raw - it was polished and perfect. Ethereal. There was no identifying with it, like we did with Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley, thinking maybe, someday we could do what they did. No. This voice was just like WOW. You were to listen and dig. Sad to hear of your passing Chris Cornell. You left behind some awesome music and it will live on. RIP brother.

Remembering Chris Cornell….to me his passing was ( and still is ) such a tragedy. What an absolute treasure…Im so privileged to have had the opportunity to appreciate his artistry. God Bless You Chris wherever you are..and thank you xxx❤

With the power of His voice you feel the pain, the anger, the suffering emerging from his inner self. We ALL miss Cornell. And Soundgarden too

We are privileged to have Chris' music to remember him by.

RIP Chris Cornell. One of the best voices in rock history. You will be missed.

This man had it all. Looks, talent, success, fame, respect, I'm sure he had to beat the girls off with a stick. I guess all wasn't right somewhere inside though. We all have our struggles. Even gods like Chris Cornell.

One of the best songs ever written and performed

This song is really neat. It makes me feel neat. The tuning of the guitar is crazy, the vocals are great, lyrics are really cool..., It brings me down... but then rubs my back until I feel better.

"Loves for everyone who isn't me". Jesus we miss you Chris...

the vocals are untouchable. R.I.P. Chris. one of the greatest vocalists and bands

This song is a masterpiece . The entire band and the video too.

I still cannot believe we've lost the great Chris Cornell. This song is a personal favourite of mine and I had to come and watch this clip today. R.I.P. Chris Cornell. You will live on through my speakers for the rest of time.

You left us all in the sand Chris... And yeah, I would cry for you. So long pal.

This is the song that got me hooked on Cris Cornell's voice! Yes, 1 of his best & most original!

Rest in peace Chris. You're missed everyday by us your fans.

Chris sings the lyrics "would you cry for me?" and all I gotta say is yes Chris we did cry. For you and then we cried for Chester. RIP Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington.

"Would you cry for me?" I will cry for you Mr. Cornell :'( It was a good trip... rest easy.

Chris Cornell is one of the best vocalists. Massive talent and execution. Whole band.

Amazing music is timeless. This song is truly timeless. Could have been released today or years ago, and would still sound amazing. Thank you Soundgarden.

R.I.P. Chris Cornell. First song I'm listening to of yours since your passing.

One of my favorite bands from this period, this band and AIC

27 years later and this song is still a masterpiece

My uncle died in 2019 of liver failure, a direct cause of this was the fact that he drank 2 bottles of wine per day. This song coincidentally played on the radio the day after his funeral while I was driving home from work. Enjoy your beers, wines and whiskey, but please enjoy it in good company and in moderation.

Years later and still too early for him. I've been binging his videos all night. Still can't believe he's gone. His vocals alone, not to mention his incredible lyrics, were par to none. He and his multiple bands had out of this world sound with gigantic vibrations when you turn the volume to exponential numbers. I only wish I could have gone to one of his band's concerts, preferably Soundgarden, but would gladly substitute for Temple or Audio Slave if I had to. R.I.P. Chris C. Your voice will never be surpassed or bested. You were only true to your words.

The 90's.. when music required talent and lyrics where properly thought through.

Cornell truely had a once in a generation voice. Seemed like a genuine guy too. Wanted to open people's eyes with his music and left us all awestuck as a bi-product. R.i.p.

This song helped me thru the tough times. He was so talented. An inspiration to me. And will be missed but his music will live forever.

This man had alot of pain. I cry for you, my friend. Rest easy.

First Layne, then Scott, now Chris...stop taking my favorite artists man. It's like taking family. REST IN PEACE CHRIS!

Soundgarden had such great songs, and a great lead singer. Chris Cornell's voice is unlike anyone else I have heard. he was depressed though. it's sad that he hinted at it in all his songs and his lyrics. it's amazing he lived until 52, struggling with depression. he may have had moments where he was happy, but the thing with depression is that it never truly leaves. it hides inside, and everyone think the person who has depression is fine. I think Chris was very strong for holding himself together despite his obvious unhappiness.

Very underrated song by Soundgarden , love it 🤘

He was a troubled but beautiful soul. I sometimes know how you felt Chris. I pray you found peace. RIP from Alabama.

"Would you cry for me?" So many tears, Chris. So. Many. Tears.

Every summer this song gets played ...LOUD !!!!!!!!! I have lived the lyrics in this song a few times...the summer heat is no joke...👍🏾👍🏾🕶️

All Soundgarden songs have Cornell's signature, but this one... I just can't have enough of Matt's drumming

Impossible to believe that today, Chris Cornell's light has gone out forever .... Very sad, very young ....

Cornell possesed a one in a billion voice. We are lucky, so lucky that he learned to sing and fell in with the right crews.

The greatest voice. one of the greatest bands. one of the greatest songs. this is music that will always be special to me

bass is so amazing, i know Chris's imagination and creativity is beyond this world but the bass sounds so incredible in this.

If his voice doesn’t bring peace to you there is no hope

Everything Soundgarden released is pure musical gold & classic. All of their material is timeless.

The sound arrangements are so sophisticated and timeless from start to end!

One of the greatest vocalists ever! Heaven is lucky to have him!

As I look towards the Sun, the black hole gazes back It may wash away the rain, but our days have now gone black So say hello to heaven, for there you shall remain. Though an Angel now has its wings, we will never be the same. RIP Chris Cornell

When i was a teenager i would jam this song all the time..My mother wouldn't get mad at all she loved his voice as i did..My mom is from Mexico but has lived in the US since the 60s..I asked her why does she like it she told me that Chris's voice reminded her of Janis Joplin. I just smiled and kept listening to my Soundgarden.

If you ever feel like shit because a love relashionship ended or just didn't work, i recomend you singing this at the top of your lungs. Now i feel happy again.

Gone too fast, I lost you on the morning of my 18th birthday and I’ll never forget you Chris…I’ll suffer with your ghost forever❤ heaven send hell away no one sings like you anymore!!!

R.I.P. to the most beautiful voice ever. Your passing was a shock to your fans. We were supposed to see you last night in Columbus Ohio but the tribute they did was absolutely beautiful. We could feel you there. Rest eternally brother 😢

I have the greatest story about this song. I was kicking dope, for one of many times thru the '90's, (heroin, for non-seattelites), and on my 3rd day of misery, I woke to my alarm clock and the most beautiful summer morning, and my alarm clock was playing this song, in 1999, I think,, but I heard it from beat one) It was a beautiful sun coming in the window, combined with this amazing song that stirred me. Biggest condolences to Chris's family, and Chris, I hope you're in a better place and having done for you what you've done for me.

Jesus that kalashnikhov burst at 4:35... I will worship at the altar of sound that is Soundgarden forever!

I got blessed with one ticket and a backstage pass to see Soundgarden at Universal Amphitheater 12/2/96 on my Birthday- I’ll never forget it. This tune brings back so many memories. I think this band will be treasured for eons after we’re all gone. They’re that good in my opinion. RIP Chris. ☮️

i love how, as more band members get rescued in the desert, the more instruments join the song. first you have cornells voice and acoustic guitar, joined in by kims electric, then bens bass, finally matts drums

We cried here on Earth when Chris left us but the angels celebrated Chris' arrival in Heaven!

Soundgarden is KING my dudes!

Follow me into the desert As thirsty as you are Crack a smile and cut your mouth And drown in alcohol 'Cause down below the truth is lying Beneath the river bed So quench yourself and drink the water That flows below her head Oh no There she goes Out in the sunshine The sun is mine, the sun is mine I shot my love today Would you cry for me? I lost my head again Would you lie for me? Close your eyes and bow your head I need a little sympathy 'Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone Who isn't me Kill your health and kill yourself And kill everything you love And if you live you can fall to pieces And suffer with my ghost I shot my love today Would you cry for me? I lost my head again Would you lie for me? I left her in the sand Just a burden in my hand I lost my head again Would you cry for me? Just a burden in my hand Just an anchor on my heart It's just a tumor in my head And I'm in the dark So follow me into the desert As desperate as you are Where the moon is glued to a picture of heaven And all the little pigs have God Oh no There she goes Out in the sunshine The sun is mine, the sun is mine I shot my love today Would you cry for me, yeah? I lost my head again Would you lie for me? I left her in the sand Just a burden in my hand I lost my head again Would you cry for me? Yeah, would you cry for me?
