Yep, that's right folks, this thread is making a come back. The central headquarters of CORNELL LOVE! A place to let it all out...the praise, the love and the respect for one of THE most amazingly talented vocalists out there. I thought with it being JULY 20TH and all that this would be the prime time to resurrect the thread of praise while also wishing the mighty man a ~~~~~~> HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
A day to be soooo damn grateful for.
Chris Cornell...the man continues to defy age and bewilder minds. What a
gift!
As I always say, everything the man touches turns to gold....SOUNDGARDEN, Temple of The Dog, solo, Audioslave....the talent is unstoppable and with each and every project the voice remains simply untouchable. I heard the voice before I saw the man and I remember that feeling that came over me the first time my ears were exposed to these vocal chords...it's one that continues to come over me to this day...feeling completely STUCK and in awe. Weak in knees, heart sinks, jaw on floor, tears, chills. Reminds me of American Beauty quote "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in" AMEN! That's how I feel about the beauty of Chris' voice sometimes. LOL! Seriously though. I mean, there really are no words that can come close to describing what happens to my body/heart/soul/mind when this man opens his mouth. How in the hell does he do it?! I can't praise it enough. This voice gets me like no other. The POWER and emotion behind it, the out of control highs, the beautiful lows, the insanely mezmerizing range - paired up with the gorgeous lyrics. The man kills me with his one liners... "eyes like oceans so far away" & "I'm sleeping in the silence of your voice" are 2 favs that come to mind.
This talent touches my soul! It has changed my life in a beautiful way. The power of this voice--I love how it can say so much without saying anything at all...a simple "hum" is chill inducing...songs like ZERO CHANCE, PILLOW OF YOUR BONES, STEEL RAIN, SEASONS, SUNSHOWER, WHEN I'M DOWN, PREACHING THE END OF THE WORLD, ALL NIGHT THING, GETAWAY CAR, CALL ME A DOG....forces some tears to flow just from the shear beauty of it all!! It's too much to handle.
Gorgeous pretty much sums it all up when talking about this man. And there
ain't NO denying dude is **easy on the eyes** to put it lightly.
Looking AND
sounding better than EVER as these recent pictures clearly
demonstrate....

Another thing I'd like to praise and give props for is how completely ON IT he is these days in every single way. Overcame alcoholism, quit smoking. I mean outside as well as in, he just SHINES. Makes ya feel all proud.

Awww! Happy Chris! Looove it.
Been lucky enough to see him live with SG, solo and last AS tour...the recent AS shows were more amazing than ever....I've never seen such a happy smiley Chris. He was so into it, really interacting with the crowd & band, stomping all around, just having a blast. His energy is at an all time high! And the voice?!!? Holy shit! Soundgarden days if not better! :eek: He was nailing every single note! CALL ME DOG (?!!?) was such a blessing. I'll say it here as well, the man seriously sounded like TOTD days if not better. He is ON IT! You can tell he is at such a great place right now and it shines through in all that he does. You can see it , you can hear it and you can definitely feel it. I'm so happy for him and oh so grateful that he is not only still sharing his gift with the world, but doing it in TIP top shape.
Out Of Exile continues to kick my ass and blow my mind. I am absolutely AMAZED by it. The band has completely defined their sound and EACH member is on FIYAH! I am LOVING this positive side of Chris shining through in all the lyrics. There is much, much SOUL POWER going on here.
I'm gonna kick start this thread of praise with a stand out fav from the new album....a song that had me hooked right from the beginnng. It is absolutely gorgeous and makes me SO happy everytime I hear it. It definitely captures the new and improved Cornell goodness. How much can you feel this love buzz? Ah I can't get over it. It's fuckin beeeeautiful!
CHRIS....once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thank you sooooo much for all that you give and share. Amazing guitarist, untouchable vocalist, out of this world lyricist...producer, songwriter.... Looks, out of control talent, and a kick ass sense of humor to top it off. Talk about the god damn PACKAGE DEAL!
I will never, ever understand how in the hell you do it Mr Cornell...but thank god you do! You are one of kind on many, many levels.
As a fellow jammer so perfectly put it...
"THANK FUCK HE EXISTS"
.......exaaaclty.
Much, MUCH love for the MIGHTY CC~~~~~~
~YESTERDAY TO TOMORROW~
Beauty is what the eyes behold
And you burn brighter than most
I chased you thru the midnight streets
To be where I could speak freely
I didn't care what tomorrow held
I felt the world turning only for us
Only bliss now for you and me
Rise up let life's kiss send us reeling
And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We have more than everything
More than man or machine
More than luck
More than fiction
Higher than any religion
And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We'll squeeze the blood out of life
And say goodnight to the silver of old
Even when wrong we're right
Far beyond the world of diamonds and gold
I've come to realize
Where happiness lies
I want you to know I know
And unlike the times before
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets no remorse

~Wild is my love~
You lost the grace of the hands that harmed you
In the daze of a thousand yawns
Lost my love, as it is i'm truly gone
In you morning i will sleep
Fire on an open palm
Death for jesus and plastic armies
Wouldn't bring me back again
Sweet as ether eyes i'm blind to them
Gone are your dandelions, falling like mine
Falling on land-mine pillows
Tired angels save my love for the lasting one
Sweet euphoria, mine is the heart you stole
Touched and broken are the things you love
Using stars to light your candles
Warms my face, but i can't remember yours
Gone are you dandelions, falling like mine
Falling like daydream mangos
Diving swallows
Save my love for the lasting one

for god's sake...excuse me Cornell's sake
this was a great appreciation of all things Cornell. the man is quite possibly the most talented lyricist out there today. (no disrespect to Mr. Vedder o'course!)
whoooooo!
i KNEW i could count on you for an appreciation AND b-day thread!
and those pics, holy shit 41 is lookin GREAT on him!
he never ceases to amaze me with his voice, his lyrics and his on stage presence!
Kate!! Hi! YES, definately MORE PICS
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!! Hope you have an outstanding day with those closest to you! Here's lots of b-day wishes coming your way, and KEEP ON ROCKIN! *********************************
saw them again only last week at the Oxegen festival (the last date of the tour). and when he did Black Hole Sun there was an awed hush over the crowd. Amazing again.
Listened to Down on the upside today for the first time in ages. It put me in agreat mood to listen to the voice again.
Here's to you Chris *raises a glass*
"I like throwing my voice, and breaking guitars 'cause it doesn't remind me of anyhting"
~**Seasons**~
Summer nights and long warm days
Are stolen as the old moon falls
My mirror shows another face
Another place to hide it all
Another place to hide it all
And I'm lost, behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by
Sleeping with a full moon blanket
Sand and feathers for my head
Dreams have never been the answer
And dreams have never made my bed
Dreams have never made my bed
And I'm lost, behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by
Now I wanna fly above the storm
But you can't grow feathers in the rain
And the naked floor is cold as hell
This naked floor reminds me
Oh the naked floor reminds me
And I'm lost, behind
Words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by
If I should be short on words
And long on things to say
Could you crawl into my world
And take me worlds away
Should I be beside myself
And not even stay
And I'm lost, behind
Words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by
This man only gets BETTER with age!!!! I am so proud of all he's overcome how he's turned his life around. He looks and sound AMAZING this tour!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys and glad to see people are happy this thread was resurrected. It needed to be done and I'm just the CC soul sista for the job.

One of my all time favs from the man....
*sigh*
::GETAWAY CAR::
The first time I saw you you were chasin' down
A cyclone all alone in the field
With railyards and clovers, I kept rollin' on
Never thought you'd wind up chasin' me
Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste, no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane
You're tired of walkin'
And you loathe the ground
The sidewalk will barely touch your feet
Life moves too slowly to hold you down
With ring in hand you take it out on me
Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane
So get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane
So get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind

I give this man SO much respect. He definitely has the singing pipes to do it, and no one can sing like him!! His vocals works SO well w/Eddie's in Temple of the Dog, and how can we forget Soundgarden, solo, and Audioslave!! HOT DAMN!! This man keeps reinviting himself each and every time!! I give him much props w/that!;)
Heck, I love the song, Can't Change Me, I remember seeing the making of the video on MTV when the album was about to come out. I was thinking, 'oh man, no way?!" and he totally blew me away!!
Anyway, he rocks and happy belated b-day to him (sorry, my b-day energy was all for Stone

~Wild is my love~
Wait today??? Where?? when??? How can I get my hands on a copy??
I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
The things that I’ve loved the things that I’ve lost
The things I’ve held sacred that I’ve dropped
I won’t lie no more you can bet
I don’t want to learn what I’ll need to forget
I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I ilke hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
The things that I’ve loved the things that I’ve lost
The things I’ve held sacred that I’ve dropped
I won’t lie no more you can bet
I don’t want to learn what I’ll need to forget
Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won’t stir up the past
So descretely
We won’t look back
The things that I’ve loved the things that I’ve lost
The things I’ve held sacred that I’ve dropped
I won’t lie no more you can bet
I don’t want to learn what I’ll need to forget
I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what’s mine is ours
If it doesn’t remind me of anything
I saw Great Expectations for the first time last night, and my #1 fave CC song is in that movie. Sunshower!!!
If you haven't heard it....LISTEN TO IT! Gives me serious chills. Sadly when my HD went kablewee a while back, one of the things I lost was my copies of that song :(
If anyone has it and can send it to me I would be REALLY REALLY greatful! I LOVE that song!
I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live
Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed
The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you
