damn... just when i was comfortable hating him... where does this song play into anything else off the album?? this doesnt change anything chris!!! but nice song...
LOL! Who would have fucking thought it eh? This song is fucking brilliant, and a clear indication of what he's capable of......man, the voice is on awesome form.

Hell yes, we need more of this. His voice is just too good, it sounds amazing in this bluesy tone.
But now I have to wonder if he really wrote it? Which is sad that I even have to think about that. What if he didn't write the one song worth listening to on this album (if it is part of the album)?

Maybe he didn't write it, but if you really listen to the words (which you can hear since his voice is beautifully crystal clear) they sound a bit autobiographical to me anyway. So maybe there's hope that he did!

It's not flirting with ebonics, there is little doubt in my mind... he wrote this.
Hope you guys are right, I mean the lyrics do sound very Cornell, but you never know these days.
Also, the whole thing is kinda weird. Why is this song linked to Watch Out? And if it's not part of Scream (which it doesn't sound like it is), how did it get leaked?
When did he write this? Maybe during CO? Or maybe it was a song Timbo decided he didn't want to put on the record?
Not complaining, but I'm confused.
Sidenote, saving it to my Comp and MP3 player...what's a good title for this untitled song? Right now I have it as "Two Drinks From Crying".

np
indeed all question we want to know. It would be so odd to be on the album but this song was originally uploaded onto a website following scream and watch out was on the website for stream, maybe its a secret song on the end of the album and the person who uploaded forgot to cut it out :S
why not call it - "eat shit timbaland" or "Cornell > timbaland"
I think there was a collaboration with Timbaland on those 2 songs, Chris came in with the 2nd song excited to sing it for Timbaland. Timbaland said cool let me change a few things around and we will record it. It ended up "Watch Out". Some collaboration.

Chris Cornell will perform at "Angelenos Go Green for Obama", a special fundraising event in Los Angeles on October 4. The event, at downtown venue The Edison, aims to be to be the first zero-waste and carbon neutral political fundraiser of its kind.
The evening will also feature an appearance by Senator Hillary Clinton, who will talk about Barack Obama's political agenda with special reference to green issues. There will be more music from DJ Jason Bentley, and organic food and drink from LA's best chefs.
Contributions will benefit the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee authorized by Obama for America and the Democratic National Committee.

Just read this on Chris' blog about the mystery song (it's called Two Drink Minimum):
"If someone was smart enough to find "Two Drink Minimum," bravo!
It was mastered with the rest of the album and was meant to be a hidden track. I thought I was the only one who got it but obviously I was wrong.
It’s amazing to me how hard the record business tries to keep songs from leaking and then puts out "Watch Out." a song three minutes long with an eight minute file and doesn't notice!
Oh well. I wrote that song at about 6:00 am to an organ melody played by Jerome Harmon. He's the guy playing the super sick Hammond B3 on it. I sang it when the sun was coming up about 10 feet from the mic. Just screaming it in the room. If you listen closely, you will hear papers rattling. May you all find your bliss "As hope and promise fade." C"

Yeah the hope and the promise of your career is definitely fading with "Scream" coming out. At least we have one decent song to enjoy.

Aw crap. That means it'll be the only track that sounds like that, i.e. good. That also means that Watch Out officially ends the album. I was kind of hoping he might have something more meaningful and substantial than a song about a girl driving dangerously.

I'm starting to enjoy reading these blogs. When he said he was going to have a 'rant' I thought it would be a typically petulant rockstar whinge but he seems like a decent bloke.
This is the best song he`s written since EM... How can he put that song right after the atrocity that is Watch Out? I don`t understand this.
Timbaland probably listened to this song and thought it wasn`t good enough for the "masterpiece" that Scream is, that`s why it`s a hidden track

Where exactly in that blog entry does it imply that he's reading this discussion? I don't see anything!

those scream tracks, the website, what the fuck, those are the worst songs i have ever heard from someone i've liked something from, totally dead born.
the hidden track is the only ray of light,
structure a deal so you can keep 2 dollars a c.d, sell it from your house if you have to. cornell can sell 50,000 copies i think, if word gets out that its good. the rest of the cost of the cd (the other 11) pays for production and session players (not top of the line, but get a friend or someone who can at least be warm and into it, often thats ok, esp. in grunge circles.
Thats 75 grand, say every two years, plus another 50 in concerts (you have to work a little, like almost everyone else). If he does well maybe he can double those sales, its not hard to envision such talent with a proper album having at least some appeal.
Thats a good living, you get to do what you like doing.
my point - there is no excuse to put out pure bullshit, only greed could make you that mentally off as to put out the whole package as of late. SAD
down on the upside is so good in spots it hurts, then straight into the half hearted em? its making thayil and sheppard look like pure geniuses

I don't see anything either. I do remember a few years back in an interview CC said he comes to the Pit to get an objective opinion of his albums. He said his own message baord was like reading love letters. Don't remember where the interview was.

Yeah I remember that too, and it does make sense, there's probably more Cornell chat on this board than there is on his own.
Try as I might to dislike this guy, I get the impression he's probably quite a nice bloke. In all honesty, Watch Out aside, I don't HATE any of his new stuff and wouldn't be that bothered by all of this - but it's all the other stuff that seems to be going with it that bothers me most, because for so long it was just his music that was doing the talking.
