Soundgarden - Half

[MsF1chick]

The sun is setting, the sky is a deep violet colour, there are clouds here and there, lined with pink and gold, my room is dark, I'm wearing my Soundgarden T-shirt, all black to be specific, there's incence burning, and this song is playing.

For some reason, it all melds together beautifully. <3

[markmor09]

this song sounds like shooting morphine in an indian sunset

[isaacaaron4jesus]

I love this song . I think it should have been in the movie ravenous with Guy pierce.

[woodsyowl1975]

Half a chance...We still have a chance..

Mr. Full....Mr. Half....

[g0ldbuG]

title meaning = half rock/half eastern influence?

[bigbilldaddy]

Actually it is a kinda devil like figure and the devil IS bleeding oil

[Pinecricka]

Soundgarden is a piece of my youth. I'm glad they're back and I hope they stay, I want to grow old (older) together. Yay Soundgarden!

[willzer808]

@Pinecricka you can't say yay soundgarden! its just not right!!

[BlOodCode420]

kickstand rocks f u



[Biggie3057]

What the fuck is on the cover?

[gaelicviking]

@Biggie3057 Chris C. and a forest-reflected-in-a-lake photographic effect.

[Biggie3057]

@gaelicviking Thought it was sum kinda Devil-like figure. Who's bleeding oil.

[Lawldudz]

@gaelicviking actually, the cover is the whole band (yes, 4 people) and an upside-down burning forest

[TLSLikesyourhair]

Soundgarden never left. They're not going anywhere.

[Regginyaga]

Only good soundgarden song

[flathead59]

Can't compare this greatness to anything, it's just Soundgarden...

[TheGreatBritishGamer]

The worst song on Superunknown by far.

[jerman2003]

@TheGreatBritishGamer No way man, it's trippy as fuck! I love the days when bands weren't afraid to do something different. Personally, I love the tune.

[TheGreatBritishGamer]

@jerman2003 It's good, but it does seem a little shallow to me compared to all of the other amazing tunes on the album except maybe kickstand (it's short as well).

[jerman2003]

@TheGreatBritishGamer Ya, I get you. I find Kickstand a bit meh, but still a quality track. I'm not a huge fan of the singles that were played over and over on the radio like Spoonman or Black Hole Sun. They're excellent songs, but overplayed. My favourite off Superunknown is 'Like Suicide'. I disagree completely about 'Half', it's a very original and different song for the band, reminds me of trippy Indian music, a nice closer to an epic of an album.

[Eifler121]

@jerman2003 Black Hole Sun is the only song you could say was overplayed, and now, it's rarely ever on. I have never not liked a song because people played it a lot, or a lot of people liked it.

[tickedoffnow]

This is incredible

[MaiandTY2011]

i love the 1 min 30 bit

[brokensaphire]

Entirely underestimated THIS song is: many to thanks to Ben and the gang for this little treasure

[bond00777777]

great time my favorit alternativ...

[Spoonman1972]

Ben Shepherd needs to get his freaking album released already

[Demonofdeath1231]

This song is amazing...oh wait, thats the whole band.

[RATMfan92]

The first half of the song sounds kinda like Led Zeppelin, but the last half (starting at 1:26) reminds me of Gorillaz. Don't ask why.

[tanvo93]

@RATMfan92 i can hear it!

[jerman2003]

@RATMfan92 Yep, kinda like Black Mountain Side. I don't know much Gorillaz.

[M1919A1]

Youtube removed the live version of this in Dallas....now im pissed LOL. This version is still awesome.

[PGROSYE02]

Love this song instrumentally, but chris should've sang this.

[NinetiesYouth]

Kim Thayil did NOT write this song, Ben Shepherd did. White Power.

[minihelmet77]

@NinetiesYouth why do you have to be an ass?

[NinetiesYouth]

@minihelmet77 Because I'm a racially insecure Indian-American.

[minihelmet77]

@NinetiesYouth haha. good comeback/

[azcomputerg33k]

This song is a soundgarden.

[9Ke9]

yeah? , Soundgarden are back when Kim Thayil starts writing again for Soundgarden and they put it down on another record.

[jaymz9191]

Zeppelin oh yeah!!

Soundgarden rocks either ;D

[RochelleJennifer]

Man Oh Man Would I LOVE To Hear Serj Tankian Do a COVER of This!!!!! Think About It! 

[Allout415]

I love this track. It puts me in a deep state of mind. Specially when it gets to the second part. I've extended that part to 3:50. When I'm in the freeway all I do is smash like never before, not caring what may happen... is a great feeling.

[PapioLV09]

I still hear Robert Plant somewhere in there...

[WadabawSleeve]

they should have done more stuff like this.

[DieHardGardenFan]

Wow, Ben Shepherd has a freaky voice!

[SuperInsanity1]

@DieHardGardenFan type into youtube attack of the killer tomatoes "puperty love"...that's ben shepherd

[DieHardGardenFan]

@SuperInsanity1 Actually that's Matt Cameron, the drummer.

[SuperInsanity1]

@DieHardGardenFan oh yeah! i remember...still wierd though

[DieHardGardenFan]

@SuperInsanity1 Haha, yeah, that movie actually was really bad though :P

[Panzerschrek1945]

This song is about Rommel's Afrika Korps withdrawl from Tunisia in the North African Theatre during the Second World War. END OF STORY!

[Soupstorm]

Half a chance, half a chance...

We still have half a chance...

[bunker790]

there's something about this song that keeps me listening, the lines "a hand glove hides the doors", "when i hand my love in i'll be done", "Mr. Full, Mr. Have kills Mr. Empty Hand" mean something peculiar to me, from beginning to middle it's strangely magnificent, then from on out its beautiful like you could watch a sun set with it playing in the background, bottom line i love this song regardless if its considered the worst on this album

[Soupstorm]

@bunker790 I think it's a song about peace and love.

[Shepherd492]

@bunker790 i think its much better than both my wave and mailman, possibly even let me drown, i guess i like the latter "half" of this album much more than the first

[AFirmKickInThePants]

I have to disagree, I usually love (and with love I mean, LOVE) Ben Shepherd's contributions in Soundgarden, but this sounds just pointless to me. Sorry

[ClaussXeroS]

so beatiful..!

[coslip]

that is...

Soundgarden

[WithaDirtyFeel]

This song reminds me of Janes Addiction. I am so glad Soundgarden is back, I miss trippy unholy, messy, dirty music that makes you feel something other than completely retarded like the new music that comes out these days. Long Live Soundgarden!

[RomeoProject]

@WithaDirtyFeel

If you delete the part about Janes Addiction then you'll get your man card back.

[FullDarkGear]

Soundgardens back, spread the word.

[bubbles1062]

Soundgarden makes some trippy shit.

[c02615223]

Something about this song i Love. Cant figure it out though.

[rustyhobo]

One of their best songs

[Ilvil]

So damn good. Soundgarden will always be the best band there is/were.

[mumpump]

@Ilvil SO MANY people agree! i'm one of 'em!
