Great thread! I can't even put my feelings about CC into words but you did a great job. I am melting after those pictures. He has an out of this world voice among other things. Right now one of my favorite songs is Heavens Dead on Out of Exile. I play it over and over. Thanks, love ya!

my favorite cornell song at the moment

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

ok this is fallen down WAY too far. Senrock chica....where did u see this Cuba stuff??

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!

cornell song of the day

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

Thanks Girlie!! I sent you a pm and added you.

For everyone else, I just HAD to post the lyrics to this amazing song. This is Chris Cornell at his best!



Sunshower

Dark as roses, fine as sand
Feel your healing and your sting again
I hear you laughing and my soul is saved
On forgotten graves you cry

Crawl like ivy up my spine
Through my nerves and into my eyes
Cuts like anguish
Or recollections of better days gone by

But it's all right
When you're caught in pain
And you feel the rain come down
It's all right
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
It's all right
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower

Eyes like oceans so far away
A feather trail to a better way
Worried mornings turn into days
Then into worried nights

But it's all right
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh it's all right
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
Oh it's all right
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
Oh in the sweet sunshower
Oh in the sweet sunshower
In the sweet sunshower

I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower
And it's all right
All you'll be you are today
Are today
It's all right
All you'll be you are today
Are today.........

Oooh excellent call with SUNSHOWER guys. Easily one of THE most gorgeous things I have ever, ever heard.


<~~~ blastin the badass motha that is.... BADMOTORFINGER


Must BUMP it up with this sick song. Apparently Chris did an interview awhile back on a local radio station and said they plan to bust this one out in fall!!! :eek: HELL YEAH!



Whoooooooa. These screams!?!? :eek: That main riff that just HOOKS your ass, that tweaked out, hypnotic solo...this funky ass bass....these drum rolls....that ringing guitar. How it gets all fierce....slows waaaaay down...then comes back and punches you in the face! Ahhh, looooove it all. Cannot wait to experience this shit live.



\m/



*bows down to the power of.....




>>SLAVES & BULLDOZERS<<

Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need

Virgin eyes and dirty looks
On what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shaking
Now I know why you've been shaking

So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what's in it for me

Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel

Buying lies and stealing jokes
And laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken

So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what's in it for me

VEDHEAD27

BUMP because I'm gonna be reunited with the *HOLY* *UNTOUCHABLE* voice later on TODAY!!!!!! *slaps self*

All I know is that the busted out HUNGER STRIKE out tonight and I am flippin out at the possibilities that await! Sooo excited! MORE SG TOO?!!?! Seriously SG?! :eek: *dies*

**Here's to hoping for YESTERDAY TO TOMORROW or ALL NIGHT THING

No words for what this one does to me! How hypnotic and sexy?!?! This solo?! And these screams?!!? Chris sounds amazing as hell!! AHH!! I cannot get over this song!

*bows down to the mighty....

~#1 ZERO~

Listen now, let me speak
I will be the dog at your feet
And come along when you call
Be the little bird in your straw and sing you a song
I'll be there to take the fall
Though you tread upon me for no reason at all

[Chorus]
But just when you think you've left me blind
I will keep you in the corner of my eye

I will never leave your side
Though you call me your number one zero
your nevermind
I'll be your king, I'll be your pawn
I will builid a pedestal and put you upon it

But just when you think you've left me blind
I'll be creeping right up behind
Cause if I need to
I will keep you in the corner of my eye
corner of my eye

Down on the street, over your night
Out of your sleep, out of your sight
if I need to, if I need to
Out of your mouth, in every word
Down in your ego one thing is sure
I will keep you, I will keep you


But just when you think you've left me blind
I will be creeping right up behind
Cause baby if I need to
Lord, I will keep you in the corner of my eye
I will be the bird in your straw
But you won't get far
I will keep you in the corner of my eye

reeferchief

\m/ \m/ \m/i'm feeling the appreciation for chris its nice to see


little dandelion
let your heart keep time
now the clouds are gone all your tommorrows shine
oh oh
all your tommorrows shine
oh oh
all your tommorrows shine

born of restless night the moon as a pearl
playing games down inside your soft warm world

i feel the poignant beauty of this song especialy, reminds me of when my son was born and spending the night in hospital with my girlfriend awake all night in anticipation.

VEDHEAD27

:eek: !!!!!!!!!!!!

LAST NIGHT was sooooo amazing. OMG! I'm still trying to make sense of it all. Wow! Wow! And...WOW!! :eek:

THEY PLAYED ALL NIGHT THING!!!!!!!!!



*dies*

Can you fuckin believe it?!!? God I wanted this sooooo bad!! This is honestly one of my fav songs of all time/from the entire CC catalogue ...I still can't believe this happened!!! Meddledeal and I were flippin the hell out. OOooh man. !!!! And seriously, CC sounds even better than the last time I saw him...which was only 4 fuckin months ago!! Come on! Dude is ]outta control. He only gets better and better. The TOTD and SG shit completely showcase the fact that he has still got it and then some.

OMG. speaking of SG!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!! :eek: They busted out RUSTY CAGE!!!!!!!!!!

*dies again*

\m/

HOLY SHIT!!! NO words for how insanely perfect that shit was. DAMN! Rusty CAGE?!?! :eek: I cannot stop smiling about that!

*looks up to the sky*
THANK YOU!!!!!

Oooh and during the SG songs (they did 2 backtoback...Rusty Cage into Spoonman!!!) they had the HUUUUUUGE Badmotorfinger wheel as the fuckin backdrop!!! :eek: HELL YES!!! {{Major SG LOVE}} I prayed and prayed but never thought I'd see the day where CC would be up there yet again singing songs from the mighty, untouchable SG! I am so beyond grateful he is...and in tip top shape. *bows down to the holy pipes* What Timmy, Brad and Tom add to it all is so fuckin awesome too. They aren't trying to duplicate anything...they completely have their own style oozing through. I LOVE IT!!!


One hell of a night. As per usual this band/man just continues to blow my mind. They are all SO on it! I am still in euphoric state of shock right now. Wow!

Oooh reeferchief, they played that song too! :eek:

INCREDIBLE!!!


BUMP it up with one of the GREATEST CC/songs ever!! What a gorgeous mastpiece! As soon as that intro comes in it just snatches your heart right outta your chest. Absolutely brilliant. This voice sends chills all up and down my entire fuckin body. How perfect is it on this song especially too?!!? I mean really. When he hits that chorus I am completelty stuck! Seeing him do it last night, acoustic...just him and the guitar!?! I honestly could not move. Just soooo taken away by it. Out of body experience for sure here. The song sends ya places! It's just too painfully beautiful!!! Makes me wanna cry a river...all from the sheer beauty and perfection of this gorgeous music paired up with THIS HOLY VOICE!!!!!! It's absolutey gorgeous/perfect/overwhelming!

*sigh*



Let's give it up for the irresistible......


˚*˚ALL NIGHT THING˚*˚

She motioned to me
That she wanted to leave
And go somewhere warm
Where we’d be alone
I do not know, what’s going on
But I’m guessing it’s an all night thing

If it’s an all night thing
Nobody is gonna make it end
And if it doesn’t begin
Don’t worry that I’ll that offense
And if it’s an all night thing
And we fall like a tear falling
To the ground
I’ll never come around
And you’ll never hear a word from me
If it’s an all night thing

I walked along, feeling at ease
And falling like rain
Into her scheme
She won’t let on what that will be
But I’m guessing
It’s an all night thing

If it’s an all night thing
Nobody is gonna make it end
And if it doesn’t begin
Don’t worry that I’ll take offense
And if it’s an all night thing
And we fall like a tear falling
To the ground
I’ll never come around
And you’ll never hear a word from me
If it’s an all night thing

Glad you had a good time VEDHEAD...The show was awesome. Everything said was right on, especially when I saw the Badmotorfinger banner, that was great.

Did you get stuck in traffic? Took 2 1/2 hours from San Jose, about an 1 1/2 hours once we passed Candlestick. It sucked, we walked in halfway through Seether's set (my friend really wanted to see them).

We made the mistake of going upstairs. The sound was terrible, so when we went down to the floor for the encores, we were pissed that we weren't there the whole show, it was so much better.
