Chris Cornell - Sunshower

Great Expectations Soundtrack 1998
Euphoria Morning (Japanese CD) 1999

In late 1994, after touring in support of Superunknown, doctors discovered that Chris Cornell had severely strained his vocal cords, and Soundgarden canceled several shows to try to avoid causing any permanent damage. But it was too late by then, and Chris lost a considerable amount of power and range in his voice.

Following the worldwide tour in support of Superunknown, the band members began working on what would become their final album "Down On The Upside". However, tensions within the group arose during the sessions, with Kim Thayil and Chris clashing over Cornell's desire to shift away from the heavy guitar riffing that had become the band's trademark.
Soundgarden took a slot on the 1996 Lollapalooza tour with Metallica, who had insisted on their appearance. After Lollapalooza, the band embarked on another worldwide tour, and already-existing tensions only increased.
At the final stop in Honolulu, Hawaii on February 9, 1997, Ben Shepherd threw his bass into the air in frustration after suffering equipment failure, and subsequently stormed off the stage. The band retreated, with Cornell returning to conclude the show with a solo encore.
On April 9, 1997, the band announced it was disbanding.

In 1998, Chris began working on material for a solo album, on which he collaborated with Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider of the band Eleven.
Cornell released Euphoria Morning on September 21, 1999 through Interscope Records.
Euphoria Morning sold over 75,000 copies in its first week of release and eventually sold 343,000 copies in the U.S. alone. While a large success critically, it did not sell nearly as well as Cornell's albums with Soundgarden.

It is Chris Cornell's only album between the split of Soundgarden until he joined members of Rage Against the Machine in forming Audioslave.

Euphoria Morning proved commercially unsuccessful although the album's single "Can't Change Me" was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance at the 2000 Grammy Awards.
He also contributed the song "Sunshower" (a bonus track on the Japanese release of Euphoria Morning) to the soundtrack of the 1998 film, Great Expectations. It starred Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Bancroft and Robert DeNiro.

My dog died today, and for some reason, this song is speaking directly to how I'm feeling. I miss him so much...

[CBFHVP]

Sometimes I play this track and get nostalgic to the point when it becomes more than a feeling. Everything reminds of how great those 9 months just where. We maybe don't talk any more and don't see each other once a year in a pass by situation but I still think about you every time I play this song. Thank for all the unforgettable moments you've shared with me.
