Soundgarden - Black Saturday Lyrics
Promise something, kill me right away if I start to get slow
And don't remember how to separate the worm from the apple
Don't wait 'til tomorrow, kill me right away if I start to listen
To the voices telling all the mouths what they need to swallow
Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory of me ever breathing
'Til I'm born again
I was thirsty, I remember that you gave me some water
I was angry at everything at once you gave me no trouble
I was crying, I remember that you gave me your shoulder
Do that for me, it's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you
'Til I'm born again, born again
Do that for me, it's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory of me ever breathing
'Til I'm born again, born again, born again, born again

Soundgarden Black Saturday Comments
I am happy that I got the chance to find him!
Totally awesome
Esta canción es tremenda, amazing!!!
Used to play this demo in the car so my baby would sleep. She's almost 8 now and has 2 little sisters. Time fucking flies. So many good memories while listening to sg, audioslave, totd, and his solo work. RIP cc.
I can’t hear Barresi’s dog howl in the song.
The watercolour starting at 1:09 is nice work. Most of them are excellent I hasten to add.
Come back.
2:06. So haunting.
Black Sabbath
RIP Chris... the GOAT of Rock n Roll!
Lmao the goat?
When Soundgarden cross the lines with Led Zeppelin.
Brilliant!
King Animal Track 9: Black Saturday
The number 9, the color black, and the day 'Saturday' are all connected to Saturn worship.
Then there's this: https://pin.it/e62nd7kuryad2m
If you don't think that's weird, you probably won't think the following coincidences between Chris Cornell & Eddie Vedder are either:
• Both born in 1964
• Both of their parents' first names are 'Edward' and 'Karen'
• Both of them adopted their mother's maiden name.
PS:Eddie's biological father's name being SEVERSON isn't weird at all, considering the story (as recounted in the Pearl Jam song 'Alive') of his estrangement from his father shortly after his birth, subsequently being raised to believe his step-father was his real father, and only learning the truth after his real father had passed away...
The rabbit hole goes a LOT further than this BTW.
Always pop into my mind what is this song about...Chris always had a dark power in his lyrics, but they really are quite liberating. Touching darkness spots, but the light always seems to balance that. Almost a year, yet a part of all us is still grieving
Mi grupo favorito.De entre 1000.😎
BORN AGAIN!
Damn....
Emily we in a group on face book. I know its been hard for you ... its not been easy also. Idk
born
again
goodbye Chris "burn out any memory of me ever breathing till I'm born again" we're waiting for you to be born again R.I.P.
2:06. the best part on the whole album. I feel like thats the climax of the album.
I don't think he was ever diagnosed with anything, but the theme of "being a burden" was always prevalent in his lyrics. I have had some days where I felt the same, but it passes. You must reach out when you feel this way. I am lucky to have a great support network and am able to identify the onset of these feelings. I never took it seriously until one whole week it nearly drove me past whatever happens after insomnia. Deep bouts of depression should be taken seriously. Thank you Chris for your lyrics that provide solace in times of despair. You will be deeply missed.
I still refuse to believe he killed himself.
Yes, it will always hurt.
and don't mess with drugs from doctors - exercise and amazing food - feed the brain
@Up From the Storm He didn't!
@Sam I am What makes you say that?
burn out any memory of me ever breathing
RIP
For some reason this was the first song I thought of when I heard the sad news.
RIP Chris.
TheHitherto me too, me too...
RIP to the greatest lyricist ever born.
RIP CHRIS CORNELL.
This is so unfair....
Best part of the song IMO is the bridge, @2:07-2:34 - classic Soundgarden dark quirkyness. Wish the whole song had that vibe, instead, everything around the bridge just kinda pales in comparison for me.
i would argue that. the best part is the sour chorus with those chords paired with those lyrics.
The demo version had a different feeling to it. Especially at 2:52, there was a different bass riff, made it much more interesting. Try listening to the demo version.
True....demo is a tiny bit more "exotic", honest and unpolished
Great visuals to an awesome song!!
Thanks Fine Potato .
IMHO one of the best songs they ever composed
Promise something
Kill me right away
If I start to get slow
And don't remember
How to separate
The worm from the apple
Don't wait til tomorrow
Kill me right away
If I start to listen
To the voices
Telling all the mouths
What they need to swallow
Do that for me
It's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid
I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory
Of me ever breathing
Until I'm born again
I was thirsty
I remember that
You gave me some water
I was angry
At everything at once
You gave me no trouble
I was crying
I remember that
You gave me your shoulder
Do that for me
It's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid
I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory
Of me ever breathing
Until I'm born again
Do that for me
It's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid
I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory
Of me ever breathing
Until I'm born again
Born again (x3)
How can anyone dislike this to the 4 who did you what fuck is wrong with you !!!!
it is like he was really talking from his heart.
easily the best song on the album
EPIC!!! POETIC!!! BRILLIANT BAND AND TOP FRONT MAN!!! :-)
Sounds good, pretty good actually
+IIvan Nuno I like all of their old stuff but King Animal I hate to say about half the album is great... I have been seeing some new stuff on here and it's like hit and miss , which all their old stuff was great even the least liked song was good, but their changing and getting old, so as long as they can get a song or two out that sounds kick ass I'll take it , and mostly of all they get into ROCK IN ROLL HALL OF FAME !!
+9rugbyroy King Animal is brilliant all the way through. It has been my favorite record of the last 10+ years. Amazing album.
What a song,,
Great track...
It has a poppy sound and a positive message.
Leland Dyer positive message? LOL this song is dark as hell
Ummm it's a great song, but positive message......nope haha
Wow. In the intro, Chris Cornell's voice sounds a little Stephen Stills used to in his prime.
Nice parallel. Love young Stills. And old Cornell.
The only one I didn't like so much was By Crooked Steps, but it's still decent. The rest are amazing.
My second favorite off the album.
rowing my friends rowing is the best new track i have spoken it is so
something about this song...hit a nerve and left me pretty disturbed. I now see and realize that the band has not lost their angst. It has merely evolved.
Best on the album, matches black hole sun and outshines imo
The art work in this video is beautiful, and it matches the message this great song delivers.
Kuddos.
Why isn't this available on mobile?
I fuckin love this track. Fuck that shit about ABBA. I'm just an asshole
Is this about the ABBA tribute band? (Bjorn again)?
Lmao Bjorn again
Bones of birds and Black saturday.....best album traks
a few months on & still loving the album but this song lyrically hits my cognital g spot!!! it depicts to me the need for each other & the very destinct rebirth/reinvention of ourselves we undertake each passing day, whilst the sometimes unexpectedly random support by others can really put an awesome spin on this existance!!!! =)
Burn out any memory of me ever breathing...till Im born again.
This song has a sexy groove bay bay!
I predict this will be one of the next singles.
Dave needs to make a video for this.
I don't know why but I get kind of a Spoonman feel to this song. But I love it <3
FUCKING UN-REAL
i love every song on this. but bones of birds is my favorite soundgarden song ever! along with jesus christ pose and rusty cage and bulldozer. lol. bones of birds blows my burnt mind.
I like this one a lot to...wish there was more of the part at 2:00 or so...awesome ambiance, classic Soundgarden space noise
Birds of Bones is a favorite of mine too, every time I listen to the album those three are musts
your caption is wrong LOL
2:06 - the most beautiful moment of your life begins...
im loving every song on KING ANIMAL. my first favorite was my crooked steps then halfway there- then bones of birds lol i love em all. now black saturday :)
I'll say it again. Good on you for enjoying it. I didn't.
Seriously? I really liked every song on this album after 3 or so listens.
There's been plenty to grow on me. Black Saturday and Rowing are the only two I've grown comfortable with. I really can't stand the rest of it, no matter how much I listen to it. Good on you for enjoying the rest, but I don't.
You got to let the other songs Grow on You. They did for me.
love it!!!!!!!!!!! check out my cover of this song on my channel!
This is the one song off their new album that I actually liked, and they are and always will be my favorite band. When I first listened to this album, I was not impressed by their return. I gave it another try a few weeks later though and ran across this song again. Because of this song, my faith in them has returned. They still have it in them after all.
I really like the new album, Soundgarden keeps evolving & surprising me. This is one of my favorites so far. I'd love to see them release some of the B-sides & unreleased songs from the past. Some of my favorites are: Heretic, Fresh Deadly Roses, Blind Dogs, Karaoke, & they did a great version of Dark Globe too. I know they talked about it for a while but maybe now that they're together again, if enough people mention it, maybe they'll finally do it.
This,Taree and Birds of Bones are my favorite songs off King Animal
I swear, this was the best song off the album o.O well okay I loved Taree as well, but this was great
Looks like you have awesome taste in music. Subscribed!
Beatiful paintings! Amazing song! Great video!! :-)
does anyone know who painted them?
One of my favs from the new album
much thanks, great song
