Cover of Soundgarden's classic 'Black Hole Sun.' This is song was written by one of my most favourite bands of all time.

Story behind the song
This is the song that got me hooked on Soundgarden and their 90's blend of metal and alternative rock. While I don't consider his song their best ('Tighter & Tighter' off of their 'Down On The Upside' album gets that award) it a very, very good song nonetheless. This song broke them thorough onto them mainstream, in which they were pegged as part of that "grunge" put on very band out of Seattle when clearly they were more metal than "grunge." Disgusting word, "grunge."
Anyway, I found a really good backing brack with vocals on it. So I decided to go for it. T'was a fun song to record, with a damn good solo too.
Lyrics
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
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
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
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear
