CHRISTOPHER HUGH CORNELL (real family name Boyle)
was born in Seattle, WA on 20 July 1964.

He was a musician at heart with a gigantic voice and best known as
the impassioned frontman of Soundgarden (1984–1997 / 2010–2019).

He would have turned 60 two days ago.

His wife put this message online.

Cornell struggled with depression for most of his life. He committed suicide
in a Detroit hotel room on 18 May 2017, after performing with Soundgarden
an hour earlier at the Fox Theatre. He was only 52. R.I.P.

CHRIS CORNELL’s Heart Broke 5 Years Ago Today

July 20, 1964 – May 18, 2017

R.I.P.

Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain

When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn’t very long you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It’s taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go ’round again, again

Every little key unlocks the door
Every little secret has a lie
Try to take a picture of the sun

And it won’t help you to see the light
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out

Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won’t miss
Not for anything
And I nearly forgot my broken heart

It’s taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go ’round again
