Was just now drifting through my four decades or so of MP3's and found myself returning over and over again to Chris Cornell's brief stint/project known as "Temple of the Dog".

Equal parts album and band.

A spurious and altogether hastily realized (but insanely brilliant) project brought on by (and in honor of) the death of one of Cornell's bros (re: Andrew Wood and Mother Love Bone).

Anyway ... tears and grave digging aside ...

Temple of the Dog remains one of the most memorable and tragic (but utterly genuine and classic) albums I've ever heard. The time-frame it was recorded/completed in alone marks it as something special (you do the research).

Anyway.

Go buy it.

Listen to every track.

And keep in mind the fact that you most likely won't hear a vocalist of Chris Cornell's passion/bent again in your own particular lifetime ...

(At least not as typified by his crooning on Temple of the Dog)

Such things just don't happen that often.

[size=xx-small]Say Hello to Heaven, yo ...

...

Please, mother mercy
Take me from this place.
And the long winded curses
I keep hearing in my head.
Words never listen
And teachers they never learn.
Now I'm warm from the candle
But I feel too cold to burn.
He came from an island
And he died from the street.
He hurt so bad like his soul was breaking
But he never said nothing to me!
So say hello to heaven.

New like a baby.
Lost like a prayer.
The sky was your playground
But the cold ground was your bed.
Poor stargazer
Shes got no tears in her eyes
Smooth like whisper
She knows that love heals all wounds with time
Now it seems like too much love
Is never enough, you better seek out
Another road cause this one has
Ended abrupt, say hello to heaven

I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things well never do
So I blow out the candle, and
I put you to bed
Since you cant say to me
Now how the dogs broke your bone
Theres just one thing left to be said
Say hello to heaven
[/size]

...

FYI.
