Chris Cornell is the GOAT. That’s all I have to say.

His cover of Billie Jene is fucking haunting.

The song is so weird. It means absolutely nothing, just a bunch of imagery he thought would sound cool, but I still get goosebumps like it's something real.

Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim...

Hey I've seen this phrase across many platforms. Telling people they need to swim. What media sparked this?

It's from the song Aenima by Tool.

The overall flavor of the song itself is similar in kind. TLDR: Can't wait for a natural disaster to come wash away the inanity via global flooding.

The "Learn to swim" comes from the verse:

I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied; Learn to swim.

Fun fact, I invented a fire eating move called the Black Hole Sun :)

What a coincidence. I have a move in the bedroom called the same thing!
