RIP Chris Cornell...one of the most iconic voices of the last 30 years. This comes from "Temple of The Dog", the next one will as well. This was a collaboration of Soundgarten and Green River (Early Pearl Jam) as a tribute to "Mother Love Bones" prodigy Andrew Wood...who overdosed. Quite the irony. Say hello to heaven Chris and for all those that think people have it made because they are famous...the psyche tells a different tale...

I keep thinking of Chris's lyrics from his song "Shadow Of The Sun" in light of how he passed away.
Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen It done before
I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
Now all that is gone
Over with and done - never to return[Chorus 1:]
And I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sunStaring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned[Chorus 2:]
And I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sunShapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lives inside my skin[Chorus 2:]
And I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun"Chris was an exceptional writer, artist, & composer that's for sure. I just wish we would stop losing musicians of high caliber & sophistication though. Can't we lose some cookie cutter boy bands instead? I mean does anybody miss manufactured corporate; no name talent? Hades no.
