rain for you chris.

so sad to hear about the death/suicide of chris cornell.

 

did those closest to him know he was in such despair? did he try to tell them? anyone? what must he have been feeling? when that was the only choice he saw, i just feel for him...

 

pain is a hard thing to express. and often when people try to share it, those closest to them pull away instead of drawing near.

 

i have been working on a record album and am in the planning/writing stages. i heard this song the other day and while singing along in the car i thought "i am recording this as a cover song," it moves me. then i heard this news tonight.

 

Black Hole Sun (lyrics in part)

 

In my eyes, Indisposed, In disguise as no one knows

Hides the face, Lies the snake in the sun, In my disgrace

 

Boiling heat, Summer stench,

'Neath the black the sky looks dead

Call my name, Through the cream

and I'll hear you Scream again

 

Black hole sun Won't you come, And wash away the rain

Black hole sun, Won't you come, Won't you come

 

Stuttering, Cold and damp

Steal the warm wind, tired friend

Times are gone for honest men

And sometimes Far too long For snakes

 

In my shoes A walking sleep

And my youth I pray to keep

Heaven send Hell away

No one sings Like you Anymore

 

Hang my head Drown my fear

Till you all just Disappear

 

 

these lyrics have a whole new meaning today, and wow, when we lose someone who shared their heart like this... what a gift.
