RIP Chris Cornell.....damn that's sad

I preferred riser1 and riser2, riser3 was so played out and derivative.

I agree.

In this defense, I'm pretty sure all the original thoughts have been had at this point so it's really more of an issue of who can regurgitate stuff the most eloquently

So if you die, is it cool if I go on your appreciation thread and say there were so many cooler and better European dudes than you? Seems fair.

And your super cool danish band that nobody ever heard of isn’t a creator of some of the fabric of my formative experience. Once you reach a certain performative creative level in music and other art, is being “better” even a thing? Why?

I like what I like. I stopped worrying about liking the right, hip things a long long time ago.

"There was no real idea to get across."[16] Commenting upon how the song was misinterpreted as being positive, Cornell said, "No one seems to get this, but 'Black Hole Sun' is sad. But because the melody is really pretty, everyone thinks it's almost chipper, which is ridiculous."[17] When asked about the line, "Times are gone for honest men", Cornell said:

It's really difficult for a person to create their own life and their own freedom. It's going to become more and more difficult, and it's going to create more and more disillusioned people who become dishonest and angry and are willing to fuck the next guy to get what they want. There's so much stepping on the backs of other people in our profession. We've been so lucky that we've never had to do that. Part of it was because of our own tenacity, and part of it was because we were lucky.[18]

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
And the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
Neath the black, the sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Won't you come
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind, tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
Sometimes, far too long for snakes
In my shoes
Walking sleep
In my youth, I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just disappear
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Seeing this thread bump made me very sad.

Definitely never thought of that song as chipper

[XXX-er]

Reminds me of Utila, the dive master used to play that on the ghetto blaster all the time .
