Soundgarden Lyrics "Black Hole Sun"
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
And the sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you
Scream again
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come? Won't you come?
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you anymore
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come?
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Won't you come? (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Won't you come? (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Won't you come? (Black hole sun, Black hole sun)
Hang my head Drown my fear 'Til you all just disappear
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come?
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come?
I have an interesting two songs connected but two very different artists.
David Bowie and Elvis. Born on the same date though years apart
Bowie loved Elvis.
Bowie finds out he has terminal cancer and records his final album, Blackstar, in secret.
Gets released on his birthday and he dies days later.
Now the song Blackstar has a very dark feel to it. It's great but I knew right away it was otherworldly.
Elvis has a little known track called BlackStar which tells the story of impending doom.
Also a great song.
Give them both a listen
Well, that was a fun detour in my evening. Thanks!

Really creepy when considering Black Hole Sun. And the black sun symbol in the occult. And there's another total eclipse coming for the East Coast of the US on April 8.
