Chris about the meaning behind “The Day I Tried To Live” “It’s about trying to step out of being patterned and closed off and reclusive… attempting to be normal and just go out and be around other people and hang out. It’s actually, in a way, a hopeful song. Especially the lines “One more time around/Might do it”, which is basically saying, ‘I tried today to understand and belong and get along with other people, and I failed, but I’ll probably try again tomorrow.’

“Spoonman” was released on this day in 1994. The song started as an instrumental for the Singles movie soundtrack, but soon evolved into one of Soundgarden’s biggest hits—and a Grammy winner. In this clip, Chris tells Howard Stern how it came together, and who inspired it: Artis the Spoonman, a real street performer from Seattle who played spoons with incredible rhythm and soul. Artis didn’t just inspire the title—he performed on the track and appeared in the music video too.

“The Keeper” (2011) — written for the movie Machine Gun Preacher, a story about redemption, purpose, and sacrifice. Chris poured his heart into this one—not just for the screen, but for the mission behind it. For 24 hours after its release, the song raised donations for the Angels of East Africa children’s charity. It went on to be nominated for a Golden Globe and remains one of Chris’s most heartfelt solo songs. His voice, his words, and his intention—always for something bigger. Watch. Listen. Remember.

Take, if you want a slice If you want a piece If it feels alright Break, if you like the sound If it gets you up If it brings you down Share, if it makes you sleep If it sets you free If it helps to breath Don’t come over here Piss on my gate Save it just keep it off my wave

"One of the things I didn't like about being in a band was that it had to be a loud rock experience for the music to work. It made me feel frustrated and inadequate that I'd need all this stuff to entertain people. You just need to get a body of work together that you've written where you can perform with nothing but your voice and your guitar." - Chris Cornell, 2009

#repost @davidfarrier “Chris Cornell and me, in some LA hotel meeting room, sometime in 2015. There was no promoter, no label people — just a musician driving out of their way to meet some idiot from a tiny TV station in tiny New Zealand. He had no need to — his upcoming show had already sold out. I’m not quite sure why he did it. But I’m glad he did.”
