The Day I Tried To Live (Rehearsal Version)Soundgarden

Let's try it with guitar, um, alone first
And then come in on, like
Have the guitar play the riff once, quiet

Then the drums and bass come in, still quiet

And then have vocals come in, so we don't really bash it until the loud part of the vocals
And then when we hit the loud part, we hit it really hard

And then we'll try doing that twice, as well, see what it sounds like, the loud part

[?]
I'm, I'm just going to play the chords for the chorus right now
Because it's hard for me to sing and sing, this part

On the second one

[Verse 1]
I woke the same as any other day
A voice was in my head
"Seize the day, drop the blade
Drop the blade and watch the rolling heads"

[Chorus 1]
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggars' change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs

[Post-Chorus]
Singing, one more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
The day I tried to live, yeah

[Verse 2]
Words you say
Never seem to live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead

[Chorus 2]
The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs, yeah

Voice[?]

[Post-Chorus]
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
The day I tried to live, yeah


[Chorus 2]
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs

[Chorus 3]
The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs
And I learned that I was a liar
I learned that I was a liar
I learned that I was a liar
I learned that I was a liar
Just like you

Soundgarden

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.
