The track “Mission” was used in the “Mission: Impossible II” soundtrack, and “Sunshower,” a bonus track from the album, ended up in “Great Expectations.” Then there is “Seasons,” written for and used in “Singles.” In each case, the music has outlasted the movie. There is the beautiful song “ When I’m Down.” (That link leads to a performance of it from a concert my cousin and I went to for his birthday.) There’s “Preaching the End of the World,” a twist on the traditional love song. While it’s still a rock album, it’s interspersed with a few ballads that show a different side to Cornell. In 1999, he released “Euphoria Mourning.” It’s a dark album, and while most of its themes can be found throughout the Soundgarden albums, here they’re presented without the hard rock backing. It was cool finally having our band, even though they’d already broken up.Įven without a band, Cornell was always producing something. Occasionally “Black Hole Sun” would worm its way onto Q1043, New York City’s classic rock station, while we were in the car with my dad.
#CHRIS CORNELL SONGBOOK USED CD CRACKED#
Instead, the jewel cases were cracked and those little teeth that held the CD in place were broken and would rattle around the inside. If his copies of “Down on the Upside” and “Superunknown” were cassettes instead of CDs, they would have been worn out and warbled. By 1996, they were done recording, and by 1997 they’d disbanded. My cousin decided early for me that Soundgarden was the band from the grunge era worth listening to. He leaves behind his wife Vicky and two children, Toni and Christopher Nicholas, as well as his first wife, Susan, and their daughter Lillian Jean. He remained sober since that time, usually making a note of it at shows. His last album, “Higher Truth,” was released in 2015.Ĭornell struggled with addiction to both drugs and alcohol, and went into rehab in 2003. He recently completed a tour with a briefly re-formed Temple of the Dog before embarking on what would become Soundgarden’s final tour. See, for example, “Collateral” and “Miami Vice.” He also stands among the few artists to have contributed a theme song, “You Know My Name,” to a Bond movie. His music enjoyed frequent use in Michael Mann movies, usually at pivotal moments.
