(You) Gonna shake your head
Gonna shake and spin
Gonna pick it up abed with something new

First I heard it in my car
Then I saw it on the set
It's nothin' I can't do
It's nothin' I can't lick

Oh, yeah

[Chorus 1]
(Now) You can hear it in the air
You can feel it in your bones
You can sing it in your head
You can wear it on your clothes

Oh, yeah

[Chorus 2]
You can steal it if you dare
Just might put you where you're goin'
(where you're goin\

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
