    Down on the Upside is just an amazing an album.  The first  Soundgarden album I ever bought.  It's absolutely a perfect record.  We are very lucky to have got to enjoy the work of Chris Cornell.

    I saw you suffering
    Through a foggy window in the rain
    When you thought no one was watching, yeah
    Going through your memories
    Like so many prisons to escape
    And become someone else
    With another face
    And another name
    No more suffering

    Rest peacefully, Chris.

    From that article above:

    When we talk openly about the chemical side of suicidal thoughts, we teach people in the deepest moment of suicidal ideation to step back, just as if they were having the signs of a stroke and say, “Wait! This is not me and it is not what I want. I need immediate help.”

    Information that must be drilled home to people suffering from depression and having suicidal thoughts.

    My wife has manic depression.  We have two beautiful boys 2 and 4.  She has mentioned ideas of harming herself in the past but never actually had a plan.  The more I read through everything and anything related to CC the more I worry I'm married to a ticking time bomb.  The thought of my boys without their mother would destroy me.  I feel helpless.

    Teaching someone how to combat those thoughts and to have a plan when those thoughts creep in is almost 100% of the time done in therapy with a trained professional. If she isn't already, you should have your wife in therapy on a regular basis.

    For me at the moment I'm finding it hard to reconcile the messages of strength in songs like Times Of Trouble with the reality of how he died.  I'm worried my feelings towards his music will forever be altered.
    Feeling the same way. It will be utterly impossible not to think "he is not here anymore" while listening to his voice. I hope one day we could separate things. This man was a ton of answers for me, now I am full of questions.

    What have recently happened has nothing to do with what he has done at others moments in his life. In some way yes, but I feel, i don't know, he wasn't clean, he couldn't think properly. I mean, I have no idea, it's just too sad.

    You are over complicating things. Whether he did this on his own omission or under the influence of perception drugs, does not change the person he was or the songs 's wrote at the time.

    Like so many of us, I too am struggling immensely with the passing of Chris. I lost my uncle to suicide when I was 14. I was extremely close to him and music helped me cope with his passing. Without music, particularly PJ and Soundgarden, I truly believe I would have been lost. Now I sit here watching fire burn, all those memories feel like a fresh wound. Thankfully I have music there to help yet again.

    Rest in Peace Chris

    Seek help.

    And hang in there.

    There's always a better day ahead.

    This album got me through some tough times in my life. When I listen to it, I feel like I'm with an old friend.

    I've been reading all these posts for the past few days and have been trying to process all of this. I can't seem to fully wrap my mind around Chris's passing. I feel like I lost someone close to me. 

    RIP Chris Cornell. You were a true inspiration to so many. Thank you for everything you gave us.

    Now this is eerie. I found a VHS tape out in my garage with no label on it. I put it in the VCR - turns out, it's an episode of MTV's 120 Minutes from *exactly* 21 years ago tonight. The guest for the evening? Soundgarden.

    So a little smile in this shitty time. I was playing songbook while having dinner and my 3 yr old stopped in his tracks and started singing black hole sun at the top of his lungs. He has asked me to play it on repeat at least 5 times now. It's his bed time and he's lying in bed still singing it

    by Tom Morello:

    You’re a prince, you’re a snare, you’re a shadow

    You’re twilight and star burn and shade

    You’re a sage, you’re a wound shared, you’re masked

    You’re a pillar of smoke, you’re a platinum heart

    You’re a brush fire, you’re caged, you’re free

    Your vision pierces, you do not see

    You are pieces strewn on the hillside

    You’re open armed, you’re armed, you’re true

    You’re a revealer of visions, you’re the passenger, you’re a never fading scar

    You’re twilight and star burn and shade

    You’re the secret veiled, you’re the secret revealed, you’re surrounded no more

    You’re not there, now you’re always here

    Youre a handsome groom, a loving father, a haunted stairwell

    You’re the clear bell ringing, the mountains echo your song

    Maybe no one has ever known you

    You are twilight and star burn and shade
