I never get very emotional about deaths of public figures. It's never seemed like a big deal to me.
Until now.
Until Chris Cornell passed away.
During my darkest and loneliest days, I discovered his first solo album, Euphoria Morning. Something in it connected with me. It was beautiful to hear. It was so expressive and I listened to it on repeat for a long time. Then I found audioslave, soundgarden and his future solo work.
Reading his lyrics, I learned how to express myself through words.
I am glad I got to see him perform as he was amazing.
