https://youtube/watch?v=3mbBbFH9fAg Day #22 of Alternative Rock Month: Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. From the album Superunknown, released 1994. This song was written entirely by Chris Cornell. If I write lyrics that are bleak or dark, it usually makes me feel better, the Soundgarden frontman said. This song is certainly bleak, with references to snakes, a dead sky, and the summer stench. Its one of the more morose songs to get consistent airplay, and it helped associate the Grunge sound with depression and angst. Cornell, however, was simply expressing some dark thoughts in song - he was not suffering or crying for help in the manner of Kurt Cobain. “In my eyes, indisposed In disguises no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake The sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench Neath the black the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And Ill hear you scream again Black hole sun Wont you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Wont you come Wont you come (Wont 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 sent hell away No one sings like you anymore Black hole sun Wont you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Wont you come Wont you come Black hole sun Wont you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Wont you come Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Hang my head, drown my fear Till you all just disappear Black hole sun Wont you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Wont you come Wont you come Black hole sun Wont you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Wont you come Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Wont you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Wont you come Wont you come...”
