![]() Superunknown (1994) [ larger cover art ] |
Whatsoever I feared has come to life
Whatsoever I fought off became my life
Just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time
Now I'm doing time
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
Whomsoever I cured, I've sickened now
Whomsoever I cradled, I've put you down
Search my soul, they say, but I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking when I get it right
When I get it right
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours, you've made it mine
So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking, no, not tying
No, not tying
I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
Yeah, I sure don't mind
I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
But I fell on black days
I fell on black days
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
I sure don't mind a change

This song helped me crawl out of the adolescent depressive funk that characterized much of my high school experience. Of course, I was a socially aware, marginally intelligent (on my best days), introspective, and somewhat shy kid in a school full of elitist snobs, farm boys (and girls), ignorant rednecks, and white trash. Needless to say, I didn't really have much of a place yet had friends in various social circles. Oh, so you're from Western Massachusetts too? |
| michaelgmitchell (Stirling, ON) | Posted: Aug 22, 2012 - 21:21 'Byronape', you give yourself too little credit. Someone "marginally intelligent" could not write such a reflective, descriptive paragraph of one's life and times. Oh, and man, this vocal is ridiculously powerful. |

| thatslongformud (don't call it Frisco) | Posted: Mar 27, 2012 - 15:12 Not my favorite Soundgarden tune, but always nice to hear them here on RP! |
| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: Jan 24, 2012 - 05:48 This is the poster child of a perfectly good song absolutely destroyed by commercial radio. Damn this song is really good too, listening pleasure completely sapped. |
| neuticle (fog fog fog) | Posted: Dec 23, 2011 - 11:58 Not my fav. band/song, but refreshing and surprising to hear on RP |

| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: May 16, 2011 - 12:10 If you get a chance to catch Chris Cornell's solo (mostly) acoustic show, don't miss it. A fabulous vocalist with a multi-octave range. And a heck of a songwriter and guitarist. |

| vit | Posted: Feb 14, 2011 - 15:26 Thanks for scratching the grunge itch. I tuned in a few hours ago when I saw STP playing, only it sounded more like some Guster-Eels-The Shins superband. This fills the void. |
| rowdydaisy (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Jan 10, 2011 - 20:07 Soundgarden was one of the highlights of Lollapalooza last summer. Orgasmic! |

Good insights and I concur completely. I appreciate them much more now ... |

(still not the video though) but I'll always like the badmotorfinger pieces best..they're so nice and rough... |

I agree that the music was really good, but they did overplay all of it so much perhaps it is better to go ahead and leave most of those songs alone. Great songs, but there are more than enough of them here already. Just my .02. |
