Soundgarden - Like Suicide (Superunknown, studio)

[JacobsSilhouette]

Always loved this song but havent heard it in over a year, About 90 seconds in started crying, beautiful memories. God bless Soundgarden

[gisellapan1]

fuck i love this. so powerful xxx

[blackitalian36]

saw then in concert in 2011!!! OMG!!! never skipped a beat

[gisellapan1]

@blackitalian36 i hear ya .. i have been addicted since the early 90's :))

[InterSmells]

STAY BLACK 

[MUZZYMANN500]

soundgarden is the only band that hasnt gone shit over 20 years , in the exception of nirvana (without the 20 years).

[stihlboy1]

5:39 is one of the most memorable notes ever hit on a guitar floating over a crescendo of power, melody and emotion, fantastic and quite possibly the best song ever written in my humble opinion.

[jrichified]

I am and will always air drum the living SHIT out of this.

[aaaakkkkman]

so beautifully dark...2 ppl should commit suicide

[jazzflyers]

actally last song on the album.

[bluephreakr]

@jazzflyers No, the real last song is a bonus track called She Likes Surprises. It was probably another way to end the album until that robin smashed into Cornell's door.

[mendameblowa]

Every... I mean everyyytime I listen to this song I'm flying, floating, swimming, riding through the crazy mind wishing to never get out. Just stick to the imagine of perfect world, without pain and all the stuff. Just peace and calm provided by perfect guitar solo and drums that smash my head so hard. Fuckin love it.

[slashinsapkasi]

"How I feel for you."

[HybridPhoenix08]

Beginning = Awesome

End = Awesome

Everything in between = Awesome

The drum groove during the bridge/solo makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[1hkwilkins]

@KidScipio this most definitely Soundgarden. If you can't tell the difference between Eddie Veddar and Chris Cornell, then you have absolutely NO business listening to ANYTHING from the '90's. Why don't you go put on some Justin Beiber.

[dynamite271]

@1hkwilkins i think that dude was trying to say that vedder couldn't do it

[KidScipio]

is this pearl jam

[nahbruhnah5]

@KidScipio no this is soundgarden sir

[KidScipio]

@nahbruhnah5 no it's pearl jam.

[nahbruhnah5]

@KidScipio haah okay bob

[grimmreaperthatshit]

@KidScipio dude would pearl jam be this good plus listen to the sound and then listen to another soundgarden song -_-

[KidScipio]

@grimmreaperthatshit this is pearl jam before they released Ten

[miataman89]

um. not pearljam.

but im gussing folks be trolling and they already know that.

[ImtheDesertFox]

@KidScipio I would love to hear Vedder try to sing this song.

[TheGuitargabe]

@KidScipio Look, buddy, this is Soundgarden. It's one of the best songs off their best album, Superunknown. I understand that everyone on Limewire and Frostwire mislabels the artists, because they're idiots, but I assure you this is Cornell singing.

[jfoley715]

FINISH HER

[xXgrungie]

This song is about how one day a bird flew in through Chris's open window and broke it's neck on impact. Chris had to put it out of it's misery with a brick, and he wrote this song.

[morningeuphoria64]

wickedness : )

[Takrezz]

hey guys can anyone give me the link to that pic?

I want to make it as my wallpaper or even better a poster!!!

Thanks

[CobasGeorge]

Best song. Ever.

[AmbassadorKong]

I will never get tired of chris screaming out 'I feel for yooooooooooouuuuuu!"

[jxc6629]

I love the line "with an ounce of rage i wild a tone of rage" ..

[Audioslave3]

@jxc6629 I think it's 'with an ounce of pain I wield a ton of rage'.

[CSClark272]

Are we really discussing seather on a soundgarden page?  jeez.

[CSClark272]

@CSClark272 Dangit....meant seether, lol.

[brokensaphire]

my last brick was my last ditch.....meant to finish her.......

[crazzzybeeotch22]

i love seether too r u fucking crazzy they r both awesome :)

[brokensaphire]

cute



[Audioslave3]

@brokensaphire I don't think you can call any Soundgarden song 'cute'. They are all too dark for that.

[fritosss93]

the average person's head would explode if they heard this song... just too fucking epic

[Uzzie101]

@fritosss93 what makes you above average?

[fritosss93]

@Uzzie101 im not trying to say im better than anybody im just saying most people dont listen to music that is this complex and they would be blown away by it

[CSClark272]

@fritosss93 And really....its not even THAT complex. Amazing music yes.....complex no.

[fritosss93]

@CSClark272 whatever tickles your pickle

[TheHyphocrite]

is it just me or the line "finish her" just hits the spot?

[SuperTamham]

soundgarden forvever!!!!!

[strawberEfieldz4ever]

Ahh remember when you atually needed talent to make music?

[captainbatguano]

kim thayil is very underrated as a guitar player. the guy fuckin shreds

[moomoomoomoo420]

i was at the first show of there tour this summer back on july 2nd...........when this was played the sky was lit up by lightning......couldnt have asked mother nature for anything better

[TLseyler]

@moomoomoomoo420 i was there too man, fuckin sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[jazzflyers]

with a song like this , the end must be near....

[Diesloanen]

Searched this song and Seether was the first result. WTF YOUTUBE?!

[coltomatica]

@Diesloanen Thats cuz seether is fucking epic.

[omegalen]

@coltomatica They are OK but no fucking match against Soundgarden.

[coltomatica]

@omegalen Eh to each his own. I'm not a douche and not gonna rip on your music. But I like seether quite a bit.

[omegalen]

@coltomatica I like Seether to bro, they rock, but in my opinion Soundgarden is better, but like you said, each to his own :p.

[Diesloanen]

@coltomatica

If you want to listen to post-grunge ear rape, your on the WRONG page.

/results?search_query=Seether+­fagotry&aq=f There you go.

[charleswhamilton]

i love this song its my fav only by soundgarden though

just like suicide!!!!!!

[PabloPJ86]

Drums change up to the end... is pure brutality! Love it!

[Cuntfinger]

I can't express in words how much I love this. Just like suicide.

[skydog69zoso]

This is on God's ipod ...........

[seedyv1]

In Satan's as well...

[fps110]

the live version is so much better

[maskof]

Probably one of the best songs of the 90s.  Top notch musicians. Top notch production, Bar none.

[tsbproject]

Superunknown was the first CD I ever owned.

Little did I know, at the time, it would also be the best I would ever own.

I have a rule that my rock has to have some feeling or some drive in it.

Soundgarden fit the criteria, pain, love, loss, passion, adrenaline. It was all there.

This tune, magic.

I still remember where I was when I heard Soundgarden had broken up.

Hope the "regrouping" leads to more tunes like this one.

[Pippity1890]

@tsbproject - I completely agree! I love this album so much I got the cover framed!...A little obsessed when I was younger haha. Cannot wait for the tour! I've been listening to recordings of them touring in the US ...they sound so tight! Forever my favourite band.

[reignoflemons]

@tsbproject very well put. this best album of all time. when i listen to superunknown, it creates a different world around me, a new and unique perspective. something one could only feel through the soundwaves of soundgarden.

[321rebelman]

SOUNDGARDEN KICKS AUDIOSLAVES ASS

[realhardheaded]

soundgarden became my favourite band the second i saw cornell swinging on the chains in the outshined video

[vikingdude17]

Is it coincidence or something else that this song was playing in my car when I saw a dead body in the road?

[rtonb]

SUSSEX NICE

[rtonb]

nice :D

[LevaiGarciaINC]

I cry every single time. The meaning in this song is GOLD!

[Vanoffy]

What a great song....glad they are back.

[EmanEzone]

Thanks for the post! e ;)

[LanryLeeFefeby666]

Killerbee80 - settle down Glen Becks son, you know blowing shit up and killing people isn't the only way to resolve things right? I remember I used to be an asshole just like you, and then I lost my virginity, Go watch Toby Keith videos.

[Killerbee80]

MY LAST DITCH,,, WAS MY LAST BREATHE----- Remember that Liberals, civil war is coming,, u cannot win ,, u will be destroyed ..THE UNITED STAES OF AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY EVER < AND WE WILL DESSTROY U ( DEATH) TO KEEP IT.. I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT--JUST LIKE SUICIDE

[thisismynamehahaha]

@Killerbee80 What. In FUCK. Are you talking about.

[1overthehillsfaraway]

@Killerbee80 easy there dude... Cornell wrote this song about a time when he was lying in bed and a bird flew into his window and broke its neck but it didn't kill it, he had to give it the coup de grace with the only thing handy which was a brick. I think the point of the song for him was that senseless death like that is a sad thing.

[JaymoeSays]

Bad news for you ... Chris Cornell is a liberal. You trolling or what?

[PatchCornAdams722]

@Killerbee80 ....lol

[willzer808]

I went to germany in 1994, i visited a german family with my parents. and i opted for their basement, with one CD, guess which one? and guess what year it was released?!

[maninthebox77]

If you've never heard it, you've never really lived! Just like suicide!

[takeittothetrack]

Just wish there were more songs like this!

[acogrunge]

When i listen to this song, I have some strange feeling...It is not feeling that I would like to kill myself...It is feeling that no one can kill me...that I am immortal.

[og4tool]

The octave intro to the solo starting at 4:32 is in my top 5 soundgasms of all time! The bell ride cymbal and the octave guitar.. the feedback buildup into one of the best guitar solos of all time.. it's one of the greatest pieces of 90 music ever.

[oldpunkster]

Can I like this song a hundred times! This is one of my ALL time fav SG songs!

[oldpunkster]

One of my all time fav SG songs! SO amazing

[80sHitchcockPresents]

2 people are so backward to even bother commenting.

[80sHitchcockPresents]

Man, I love this song like a chimp loves bananas, hahaha.

[mussman717word]

@IronLingersPlus

Metallica is more popular than Soundgarden. Besides, "pop" can also refer to music that is somewhat simple to play and "hummable." That doesn't always good or bad or mainstream. The Beatles were pop, that doesn't mean they're bad at all.  Neutral Milk Hotel could also be described as pop music, but they're definitely not mainstream. Back to the point, Soundgarden's songs are not very 'catchy', they consist of too many complexities liked mixed time signatures, etc.

[AstridVue]

I thought of this song a few days ago when my mother and I saw a huge hawk swoop down and snag a robin in her yard. We both started to yell but then realized if we scared the hawk off, we'd be left with a slowly dying robin. I heard in my head "how I feel for you" as the hawk flew off with the robin in his claws.

[lavits59]

is it just me or does chris look like a pedo in that picture >.>

[evankiljoy]

I love this song, and this album, and this band... but anyone who thinks this is an odd time signature needs to learn how to count to four.

[Mechamortal]

Fucking awesome song. The whole album is amazing.

[guitarfreak2003]

Reminisent of My Good Eye CLosed.....one of THE best albums ever to come out of the 90's!! I still have this album in my car....why? Cause I like good music......

[christophercize]

How i feel for you, I feel for you

[caatad]

For those who liked/like soudgarden like me... there are few bands in the world with such great songs....

Carlos....

[DestroyerofSouls666]

There were so many sad and gloomy songs from the 90s, everything from this black beauty to Radiohead's “Creep” to Tool's "Sober" to RHCP's "Under The Bridge" to all of Alice In Chains & NIN's work. I think the poseurs hated grunge/industrial because the music didn't jibe with their 'Friends, Zima & Spin Doctors' worldview. Personally, I will always treasure the angry rock of the early-mid 90s because it was real, & it made such a powerful statement about the darkside of the human condition.

[karmaofgood]

And this is why I wonder why Matt Cameron is underestimated like he is.

[idontcare3737]

Chris Cornell was writing a song one day when he heard a thump on the side of his house. He went outside and found a bird lying in his garden, twitching and dying. He crushed it with a brick to put it out of its misery. It affected him so much that he went inside and wrote this song.

[dissident93]

The CD I got has this song skipping, so I can finally hear it in it's entirety. haha

[GreyShadowUchiha]

i wish there were more kids like me. you know, kids that love soundgarden to death.

this is my favorite song by them, and infact one of my favorite songs in the world. drum fills are phonominal, solo is wicked, and chris cornell's vocals are at his best in this song.

[Warcraftboss]

@GreyShadowUchiha I'm 17y.old and I discover Chris Cornell and Audioslave at 14

These band are just the best think I could discover in my life ! Trust me !

[Smokie420ish]

@Warcraftboss Checkout his solo work. Chris Cornell Euphoria Morning and a song called Sunshower that he made for the movie the great expectations.

[pooljacky]

@GreyShadowUchiha How old are you? 'Cause I love Soundgarden A LOT and I'm pretty young.

[GreyShadowUchiha]

@pooljacky 14 and im glad to see people like me :D

[slash4216]

@GreyShadowUchiha how old are u?

[GreyShadowUchiha]

@slash4216 15

[slash4216]

@GreyShadowUchiha keep rockin dude. Soundgarden is my fav band and I'm 17.

[fillXnXdXblank]

If Soundgarden's lyrics were just printed in a book as poetry, I would buy the book and treasure it. With the music, I just about die everytime I hear one of their songs. The first time I heard this, I literally felt a shiver go up my spine, and the shivers still come every time I hear this song. I don't care if it sounds overdramatic, it's true.

[sychokillin]

Soundgarden is my drug.

Youtube is my dealer.

Vevo is the police.

Spammers and arguers are the jailers.

I am just abusing it, getting a bag of this

[scottyknows717]

@sychokillin" thats funny shit"..i like it alot.....

[afareni]

I love this song so much.

[kp1vena]

the guitar solo when Cornell's singing 'I feel for you' is effn nasty

[KingZolgar]

Mainstream or not, this shit is dope!

[frostling27]

Soungarden is and was around before Nirvana even got a record deal! So these fine gentleman are the precursor's to the whole grunge transition...and even if it was not their intention, Nirvana became what Cobain despised, which is why in my opinion, their sound didn't evolve, Cobain sold his soul and tried to get it back and it ended him... either embrace yourself or burnout and die!

[zikilovesgenesis]

@frostling27 Nirvana's sound didnt evolve that much because they were only mainstream for about 3 years. they released only 1 studio album after nevermind and it sounded a lot different from the previous album, so dont give me that bs

[frostling27]

@zikilovesgenesis Soungarden is and was around before Nirvana even got a record deal! Cobain sold his soul and tried to get it back and it ended him... either embrace yourself or burnout and die!

you can speculate all you want, but it is what it is... so get over it... I didn't sell out and get strung out on heroin, thats why they failed... so you can ride the wave or crash and burn ;)

[flathead59]

Great stuff

[orgasmatron1977m]

Best song off the "Superunkown" album

[BoomhinschPro]

2 people are suicidal

[Scarecrow545]

@BoomhinschPro

Oh please, for the love of fsm, just stop with the dislike comments...

[richards4441]

@BoomhinschPro you do realize this song is about suicide right?

[geoffmarsh]

@richards4441 No, it's not about suicide, it's about a death LIKE suicide. See the story about the bird. It's about his sorrow at the way the bird died, LIKE suicide.

[mrnikko419]

@geoffmarsh It's not really about the bird though. The bird was just the inspiration for the song.

[AstroCreep999]

@BoomhinschPro no two ppl are just effin stupid and btw this is about suicide retard

[n00bster101]

@BoomhinschPro I'm feeling pretty suicidal right now, and I liked this.

[JasonCleghorn1975]

Yet another reason why Soundgarden (then) were tragically underrated. Now, Chris' voice is shot and they don't compare to then, but that's no one's fault. Just an amazing creative band that made up a huge part of my formulative music listening years.

[north005]

Listening to this song makes me wonder — what's a Nirvana?

[spyretto]

awesome song, one of their best, though they have so many.

[brokensaphire]

This is a great love song

[MrKillerhaven]

don't try to categorize, just listen, learn, and appreciate.

[krasus32605]

2:08  BOOBIES! :D

[Silverneelsen]

@krasus32605 ewww

[krasus32605]

@Silverneelsen made ya look :P

[whomitaw]

Spread the Grunge word!

[geronimosilveira]

1 dislike??!!how can somebody dislike this song??!!did he/she click on the wrong side?greetings from argentina

[cyclinsatyr]

you aren't a human if you don't like this song.and even if you're not....god bless

[BigNick419andholding]

I love this song. Chris had a great rythym guitar, while at the same time Kim's lead was sort of barely organized noise, yet it all came together to form one of the greatest albums, possibly one of the greatest bands of the early 1990's. I love Soundgarden now, as much as I did then.

[atan0669]

Superunknown was the White Album of the 90s

[ca103101]

This song is about a bird that flew into a window

[Williamshatnerfag69]

Who searches up music on youtube just to dislike it?

[Endisnigh666]

Grunge is just dumb label that MTV put on seattle bands just to package and market it easier. In reality it was just some great rock bands from seattle, wa.

[YertleDaTurtle]

I love how around the 4 and a half minute mark, the song just lets go and allows you to get lost in it's alluring sound. Is soundgarden the greatest band of recent years or what?

[vince26201]

best band of the 90s.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@vince26201 not even a joke asshole

[blackened667]

one nobs bent finger must have slipped on the dislike button,, tutt tutt !!!

i hate the word "GRUNGE",but if that's what people want to call it, then suondgarden are (were) by far the best. that's what i think neway so don't giv me lip for havin an opinion : )

[DuppyBruh]

@blackened667 fine i wont curse you for your opinion, but fuck your queer ass with that nob joke.

[80nom]

To music with sole, salute with a clenched fist.

[xxrockon83]

Kim Thayil is too dam underrated. This solo is a true piece of art.

[Subsurface2]

Man, these guys had lightning in a bottle. I absolutely WRECKED this album in tape format. These guys really shoved thoughtful melody into the grunge sound.

I hope this stuff goes on to be appreciated like the Zeppelin stuff is today.

[BoxCarBoy12]

Only Cornell could write lyrics about a bird that ran into his window and make them sound like they're talking about something else at the same time.

[MrSqueegee360]

i love some man boob.. thanks chris.... fkn assclown

[1AlphaMeTalHeaD]

Ahh another seattle song about death. My favorite!!

[LobotomyMadeEasy]

This song...this song right here. This song is a journey through the depths of each individual member of Soundgarden's mind. Incredible. Odd time signatures, a slow buildup to a well deserved roundhouse kick to the face to whoever's listening - and they excecute it in a way that you're actually begging for more by the end.

This is one of the many reasons that the Grunge movement is one of the greatest musical movements in history. Believe that shit.

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@LobotomyMadeEasy I agree, 90's were some of the best times for music. Originaly was suddenly the key to make a great band, and every band back then started to find their own styles. Goddamn, I love that era!

[danthatcan2]

@LobotomyMadeEasy that's fuckin deep!

do you know what the initial meaning to this song is??

[teethgrinder07]

@danthatcan2 its about a bird that flew into cornells window and broke its neck, chris put it out of its misery by smashing it with a brick

[samhobson30]

@LobotomyMadeEasy My sentiments exactly what a ride this song takes the listener on.

[Raptor015]

@LobotomyMadeEasy How are there odd time signatures in this song? This song is purely 4/4.

It was only Superunknown as an album that had odd time signatures...and was better for it.

[ThreePieceSuite05]

@LobotomyMadeEasy Fuckin-A!!

[DrummerGAS]

@LobotomyMadeEasy Man, its awesome that you love Soundgarden. But cocaine is bad.

[geronimosilveira]

true, good metaphor

[Grimeyhoob]

@LobotomyMadeEasy I agree with everything you've said, to add to it and this is just a personal opinion, Soundgarden and Alice in chains were in my opinion the two rawest and riff-oriented bands to come out of the grunge movement, theyre my favorites. which doesnt mean that i dont like nirvana or pearl jam, love those bands too, but as far as technical proficiency goes, soundgarden, aic take the crown.

[orgasmatron1977m]

@LobotomyMadeEasy a-fuckingmen

[guitarfreak2003]

@LobotomyMadeEasy I'd have to say unfortunately, "Grunge" was the idiotic name and label MTV gave the 90's Seattle music scene. all in all, it was just good fuckin music man. Thats all it was and there will never be music like this, i am sad to see my children never experience a movement like this....grunge is dead, but rock n roll will always live!!!

[guiseppe1879]

@LobotomyMadeEasy  perfect discription of this song. Hats off to you dude

[bobshenix]

@LobotomyMadeEasy

Soundgarden did use a lot of odd time signatures but i don't believe this is an example... great song tho one of my favs... they played this the other day in Boston. Isn't this 4/4?? i am not a musician so i'm no expert but whatever.

[bluephreakr]

Some things just shouldn't grace the mainstream. This song's too good for it.
