[mikezr1000]

I hope they add this song to the download list on rocksmith

[ottadix]

epic

[MarkHarrellJr]

The production of the drums on this song is different than the rest of the album..It sounds like a garage band kit; it's got a great vibe!

[MsF1chick]

Dude, I study to this song! :D

[cha0ticknight]

@no1candoitbetter I heard he wrote this after a fireworks show or something (while he was tripping acid). -Shrugs-

[magicmahmoud7]

soundgarden's best song and best album!

[stabbedsoul]

First to dislike the video, because everyone needs the one asshole to blame when they make stupid dislike comments right?

Soundgarden rules. ♥

[FTWorWTF]

@stabbedsoul that's epic win.

[strawberEfieldz4ever]

0 people can...oh wait this song is perfect ;)

[eldiablov2]

I play this and Guile's theme every 4th of July

[105Mittens]

Best 4th of July song EVER!

[gaybutte]

listen to the over-dubbing vocals at 1:27.

I used to think that he was just singing in falsetto, but after listening to it more closely... It's actually full voice.

I wish they would have made a version of this song where that vocal track is more dominant.

[leajerokerica]

One of THE best songs ever, and for sure THE best band on this little water-covered planet.

Is there anyone else who gets that spooky feeling of power, might or whatever when listening to this song.

[AgilePenatonic1]

@leajerokerica Yeah, I know what you mean...this song is slow, powerful and heavy like a friggin bulldozer

[leajerokerica]

@AgilePenatonic1 spine-chilling

[twentyeightbrando]

@leajerokerica I think that, spooky feeling, is something alot of us get listening to this, your right on. Deep bass, Archtyepal lyrics. Its almost meditative.

[Mechamortal]

Fuck, this song is forever burned into brain. The whole album is amazing.

[playful101]

This song reminds me of a time when I was a teenager I was camping on top of my mountain tripping on acid and some power transformers blew up and the sky flashed bright with a bang. The power company came up in big trucks with a spot light and chain saws. I went back down to the house and a bunch of people came over but the power stayed off. It seemed apocalyptic. Glad those days are behind me.

[TheCurlyGang]

When I listen to this song it makes me think of Navy Seals in their rubber rafts paddling against the surf in the freezing cold at night with just their battle fatigues and caps.And Marines going on shore storming a beach getting shredded apart hauling ass and closing in on the enemy and gutting them with their KA-BARS and stomping their brains out. And Army rangers storming the Kremlin in Moscow and slaughtering everyone inside. And 10000 spartans charging 30000 persians turning them into steak

[scootaloot75]

nothing to do w/ usmc for me , yet very powerful still...9/16/94 paris islaND USMC OHH FUKN RAH DEVIL DOGS OR PROPER GERMAN... TEUFELSHEUNDE

[Shaunman930]

Why is there not an actual video to this song!!!!!!!

[marypolimery]

just fucking epic!

[Vazcular]

This entire album was/is a mental mind-fuck masterpiece.

[BigNick419andholding]

This song is just way too good to have ever been mainstream..and no douches clicked dislike. Smart move.

[masterphineas]

it is about a NUKE !! I thought so but I had trouble understanding some of the lyrics THANKS MARINE !!

[WancakesTheBrave90]

@masterphineas it not about a nuke. Chris wrote the song when they were on a tour on Asia (i think), where he got high on LSD and there were fireworks going off in the sky. So the effects of the drug made him think it was the end, or the 4th of July. So its basically, the effects that fireworks have on you when youre high.

But i think that the magic in this song is how you can interpret it in so many ways. A nuke would also make sense.

[titsweiler]

best song to get baked to

[southernboygonebad]

I take it this song is about nuclear winter... Soundgarden rulez!

[WancakesTheBrave90]

@southernboygonebad its actually about the effects that fireworks have on you when youre on LSD.

[ThePhillies77]

naked in the cold sun, breathing life like fire..... fuckin awesome lyrics

[freakmoth]

ke gran canción de Soundgarden,para mí de las mejores ke tiene,,,profunda,hipnotika,gui­tarra potente,perfecta para este mundo d mierda inhumano,..

[outlawcountryman]

this song is of a handful that can clearly soothe the storm in my head. it explains it and i connect to this song in a way thats unexplainable. the lyrics mean one thing, but the instruments and music mean something entirely its own.

[MRXFX91]

I really don't get how music got so shitty in such a matter of years.

[jessw3000]

I had an experience once at a Pink Floyd show in Madison, Wi July 4th 1994....(or 95?) where I felt like all the shit he is singing about was happening to me...fire, explosions, bad trips, insanity, weird vibes........anyways...love this song!

[chicoacid]

This Song is the shit when your High

[PITTBUL614]

Chris Cornell is awsome, his voice is like no others.

[billymorris22]

My mom's birthday is the 4th of July and this song has always reminded me of her in a weird way.

[212DegreesRevolution]

That opening guitar riff deserves to be played very loud. Probably should follow with the rest of the song too. That's all I got to say about that...

[evacloakie77]

i am happy to hear a good post of this song.Kudos to the poster

[poundcake12]

Chris Cornell explained the song in an interview with RIP magazine, April 1994: "One time I was on acid, and there were voices ten feet behind my head.

[FL2016]

this song is so damn dark and cold...I live in a bright and hot place....I love it!!!!!

[fauxpasmusictube]

@sonnyIommi:

Yeah, the term grunge was a bullshit marketing gimmick. Soundgarden was just a great rock band. This song is one of my favorite by them, as well.

[danthatcan2]

@fauxpasmusictube Grunge was not a marketing gimmick. Grunge was more of an attitude than a type of music. Soundgarden put forward an edge to the music we call "Grunge."

[FunnyStuffThere]

Cornell has to be the greatest lyricist ever born.

"Cool in the waterway, where the baptized drown."

Genius.

[ringmeista25]

of course it's Chris Cornell...he wrote it, sung it, owns it.

[okojok11]

that aint chris cornell!!!??

[TheSpurswin5]

i use to think about this song the whole time i went through Marine Corps boot camp Dont know why..........I guess I thought the songs about loving your country even when you have to kill to protect it

[combo360]

well then we salute you sir and also, im a big spurs fan since i reside in the san antonio area

[ThreePieceSuite05]

@combo360 Heeyy, I grew up in SA. Livin in Michigan now...Fuck all this cold weather, I wanna be home. Thanks for the upload man. Such a great track.

[PowerBoat1234]

@TheSpurswin5 This songs is about using LSD ;)

[kgrossarth]

its not even about America, you sure you didn't go through the army ?

[kgrossarth]

its not even about America, you sure you didn't go through the army ?

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

@TheSpurswin5 Actually, I saw somewhere that this is an anti-religion song. Not much to do with patriotism or the 4th of july itself... I think...

[antonechen]

@TheSpurswin5 Protect the money form companies....must be proud.

[foilseal]

@TheSpurswin5 start by killing yoself

[LqrDrnkr757]

Great song, it has a very grungy sound to it and that's what I love about it.

[Infern4l]

god damnit i love this song so much

[pedrinhuuh10]

great song... muuito bom.. arrebenta SOUNDGARDEN

[Hectotane]

Garden of Sounds four da wIN.

[ALIBEGU]

fucking majestic. This song can paralyze the soul

[OhNoObie]

Heavy riffery and a great band...

[radioWTF]

i think this song is about war...like a nuke war..or something to that extent!

[CCNNS]

This song is about LSD.

[felipebirds]

fuck everything, this is the best everything in life...best song artist music expression of music and wahtever you want make out of it.

[gloconti]

I always took this song as a call to self determination. Having everything stripped away like shelter and warmth and burying your expectations like Jesus under clouds of dust. This song. this album really, made me want to stand up after feeling so disconnected and trampled for so long during childhood.

It's a powerful artistic statement to say the least.

[URturn2njoy]

Thanks combo360 for the post! Gloconti, I like your observations, it gives me a fresh perspective on this song. Well said and thanks for sharing. I love this song too!  I think it can apply to end of anything precious to you - relationship, lifestyle, control, the earth, peace. Powerful song, very moody/dark (yet hopeful) maybe often overlooked. Very sublime-- getting depth from an unexpected source.

[stephenie77]

Is Soundgarden athiest? Is the song about the apocalypse? O:

Regardless, I love it.

[jtube73]

@stephenie77 its about a vision of nuclear disaster. They're not atheist, check out motorvision part iv between minutes 10:00 and 11:30.

[CHIMERA259]

So darK...Great song

[baller30133]

dude i agree with weloveyoudimebag this song is so freaking dark...amazing

[gavfitzy2000]

powerfull end of life or earth stuff

[pigbuster187]

The lyrics are so fuckin eerie and deep. They sound they're describing a wicked acid trip.

[GBreadMaynePt2]

That's because it is based on an acid trip.

[33ryman]

love that riff

[RELLlK]

i find it soothing

[Aliceinchainhead]

THe lyrics are really scary if you really look at them and if you know wat it means!

[freshfssst]

i might be wring but its sounds like its about nuclear war.......idk i might be wrong

[combo360]

i always thought it had to do with the end of mankind or something

either that or chris was high on pcp or something

[weloveyoudimebag]

my favorite soundgarden song.

probably the darkest song since black sabbath, by black sabbath.

pure metal.

[Blasfamy]

One of my Favorite SG songs. AWESOME.

[kool4ever]
