Man, this is unlike anything else they've done. I'm digging it tho! Good Goodbye is probably the most LP song in the whole record.
between the hunting party and his time with the stone temple pilots I imagine Chester was up for chilling out for this album.
they likely had fun experimenting and trying something new.
that being said I imagine by the time they go to record their next album they will be in the mood to be more angry again.
though you also have to wonder how much longer they will do this.
I mean it is obvious that they love music, you can't perform for 20 years without loving what you do.
that being said they are all around 40 now, and sure there are plenty of artists that make it into their 60s, but I could also see them calling it quits soon (aka in the next 5 years) for at least 5 years to just enjoy other aspects of their life.
no matter what though they will always be one of my favorite bands.
actually thinking about it more I imagine they might do an album more like minutes to midnight in theme given the current political situation.
Yea i just noticed at the end, he missed some lyrics because he was in tears. Such a powerful performance.
right before the scream around 3:30 if you pay attention to his mouth you can make out a lip quiver.
I mean for honoring a friend who died it's not a bad choice of songs.
Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The reminders, pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there
I mean the song is clearly about losing someone.
also I didn't realize Chris Cornell's death was ruled a suicide. The start of the song "Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?" no doubt really ring true :/
