Soundgarden - Somewhere Lyrics
I wish to wish I dream to dream
I try to try and I live to live
And I die to die and I cry to cry
But I know why
Somewhere in my dreams
Still the willow weeps
On roses for the dead
In laughs of love
From the likes of her
To the time of me
Like to moon to earth
Or the sky to sea
Only we're no longer
Allowed to be, to be
Somewhere in the dreams
Live in all the keeps
Echo all the worlds
In laughs of love
For times that pass my life
I'll search for the sky
That she wanders by
Somewhere in the dreams
That the skies hold
Still the willow weeps
On roses for her bed
In laughs of love

Soundgarden Somewhere Comments
01:14 just when i thought i know what soundgarden sounds like
Wow.....last two lines on Verses 1 and 2. That voice! Nothing but raw emotion coming out of Cornell....blows me away every listen
yep unbelievable im so sad he killed himself!
Angelgrip33💔Lancaster/Pa. Atlanta/Ga. Somewhere🐻
2:49 is where this song really picks up
Best ending to any song ever.
Sounds a bit like the Minutemen
Wrote what a couple of words anybody else could say so for themselves ?
Amazing!
Lyrics
I wish to wish
I dream to dream
I try to try and
I live to live
But I die to die
And I cry to cry
But I know why
I wish to wish
And I dream to dream
I try to try
And I live to live
But I die to die
And I cry to cry
Somewhere in the dreams
Of those who should
Still the willow weeps
On roses for the dead
In laughs of love
From the likes of her
To the time of me
Like the moon to earth
And the sky to sea
Only we're no longer
Allowed to be,
To be
Somewhere in my dreams
Things that should
Live in all the keeps
Echo all the worlds
In laughs of love
For the times
That pass my life
I'll search for the sky
That she wanders by
Somewhere in the dreams
That the skies hold
Still the willow weeps
On roses for her bed
In laughs of love
Somewhere in the dreams
That the skies hold
Still the willow weeps
On roses for the dead
In laughs of love
Lyrics: Ben Shepherd
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh-owww...
The lyrics to this song are amazing. They display the wisdom and beauty of a old man reflecting on the greatest love of his entire life. I can't believe Ben wrote this at age 22. The man is a goddamn poet.
I'm somewhere in a dream...putzilla!!!
Still can't believe he's gone.. By the way, 2:50ish has a U2 vibe to it... Specifically the Edge's guitar
Not sure why people have such a boner for the outro drumming. I mean, it's a well-executed beat by a great drummer, but it ain't the second coming of Cygnus X-1. If you think that's an exceptional beat then you need to calm the fuck down and expand your current catalog ASAP.
very underrated song
Soundgarden is (was - RIP Chris) a super band in it self. Amazingly talanted musicians as individuals and phenomenal as a band together. Each of them is unique in his own way and mixed together they make MUSIC PERFECTION!
Chemistry is everything. Not just talent
they let me wake this is what i think up because they knew im about to go out of country im applying for a passport soon but ill never return to this life and i know that but i think they wanted me to do what i am and let them know how bad they fucked up
im really hesitant to think theyve been fucking up as bad as they have
First Soundgarden album I heard when it first came out. I was hooked. It changed music for me forever.
kleisley79 x2
It's all about matt Camerons drumming in the outro - totally ethereal. I defy any drummer like myself to learn that shit
@Shaine Singh do you know buddy rich?
This makes me want to cry
Rest Well Chris 😢
What an amazing voice. Goodbye Chris. We'll miss you.
Rest In Peace chris💔🎶♋️🥀🌖
AVE SATANAS/AVE LUCIFERI///
Whole album is like Bad Brains had a love child with Black Sabbath and some of The Zeppelins were in the studio
this is like favorite
Rest In Peace...
<3 RIP CC <3
sad as we all feel, what's left for us? just to sing his songs, rejoice in chris's life and contribution
R.I.P.🎤😪
As a drummer - that outro drumming by Matt Cameron stands amongst my favorites of all time. Try and catch onto the kick pedal if you can and the fact Sheppard can compliment it with his bass playing is testimony to the skill level of these guys. Soundgarden godammit
anyone that is a drummer needs to listen to Matt Cameron's outtro drumming. As a beginning drummer I made a point of learning that transcendent pattern
"transcendent" - you said it! Thats the word for Matt;s drumming.
best album
The chorus of this song is the only thing I hate about this album, which makes me think that it is as equally awesome as superunknown
I loveit,I've learned this song with my Fender black Telecaster,it rocks,the sound is awesome! <3 I know a dosen of Soundgarden songs on my electric guitar,it rocks
Use to listen to this song in 95/96, but forgot all about it. Strange hearing it again after all this time.
Great song. Great fucking album.
@Einhänder 151 into the void... i found
+Body I don't know what you're saying.
@Einhänder 151 i didn't realize that you don't was talking about the black sabbath cover
+Body Still not sure what you're saying. I was just talking about the image on the front Badmotorfinger.
Great band
1:45 to 2:02 best part
0:00 to 4:21 best part
is it just me or does this album have the same trance like feel as a pink floyd album?
its a deeper trance :)
definitely. This and ultramega ok are my favorite.
redicolously good
is it just me that think chris cornell kind of sort of perhaps sounds a bit like dave grohl in the first three seconds of this song????
Could be that or could be that Dave Grohl might've picked up something from his Seattle bud. Don't know how much serious vocs DG was doing back then.
Grohl did all the backing vocals on Nevermind & IN Utero. But it was def him picking up on Cornell's vocal style since Soundgarden has ben around since 1984.
the bass sound is soooo damn good on this song. Ben Shepherd FTW
Ben wrote this song.
Adelia Hogarth I really loved Ben's contribution to the band. Chris' overall talent as a rock and roll front man goes unmatched--I'm saying that as a player so I'm not entirely talking out of my own asshole--but Ben learned to play guitar at a young age and he really brought an extra brain for songwriting to a band that was basically already a supergroup before he even joined.
They might be my favorite band, but I wish they used less processing on their albums--like the fade out and fade back in on this track--they were too good to use shit like that, in my opinion.
probably the one of the best albums ever recorded imo, Dirt is another
Killer grunge records lml
Probably my favorite soundgarden album.
Soundgarden and AIC! Hell yeah!!!!!
the best in my opinion!
I'm 35 years old and I still cant count how many times I go to sleep listening to this masterpiece
read 5 different lists on the best songs by Soundgarden, this song wasn't on any of them, which is criminal!
enter the gates dreaming somewhere
history repeats itself...
I had a ritual before every GCSE exam- I had to listen to this and Room a thousand Years Wide before I went into the exam hall...I passed them all, so I guess it worked!
Somewhere in a dream...
And King Animal now :)
Cool to see that this shit has inspired teen agers all over the world...peace
ahhh that fucking chorus!!!!!!!!
Yet Justin Bieber has 100,000.000. What a world...
36k views? Are you kidding me?
Awesome kid keep it up. I grew up in the '90s and the fetid garbage I hear on the radio makes me feel bad for you all, in a fake YouTube kind of way lol. Queens of the Stone Age being the most notable exception. Keep playing it and the chicks will dig it more that that skinny jean EMO crap. Be a man, not an insecure, MTV/Madison Avenue sex consumer zombie
Word on Josh holding it down with QOTSA
such a dynamic song. So many different parts that just fit together perfectly. Just an all around Kick ass song, can't wait for the new album.
Beautiful. One of their best pieces.
needs a love button!
I think there are other things that need a "Love Button".
I love all SG albums,best grunge rock band in the universe
This except in 2007, long live Soundgarden bro!!
2:33-2:40 Best part of the song
...probably best song off that album,what a band!!!!
My favorite album of any genre, of all time...
JasonCleghorn1975 yessssssssss
Ben Shepard is an incredible songwriter. I always thought of him as the George Harrison of Soundgarden. As you said, this track and "Head Down" are phenomenal, as are his contributions to DOTU ("Zero Chance", "Dusty", "Ty Cobb", etc.) I can't wait to hear what he has to offer on the new album, even more so than Cornell.
Best:Foo Fighters remind me this!
this music remind me Foo Fighters
same here
Massive! This song goes to show what a talented song writer Ben Shephard is, along with 'Head Down' probably my favourite 2 SG songs.
The break at 2.33 and subsequent kick in just blow me away every time, even after 20 years.
You mofos...you fall asleep listening to Soundgarden? :/ I suggest switching to some lame smooth jazz or some similarly retarded shit if you like listening your music asleep. (no disrespect to jazz,just you two) :P
Awesome! I'm graduating this year and starting college in the fall, hopefully I find some people there who love soundgarden and all the 90s alt rock bands like I do.
Forever!
Personally, my fav album
I use this song to wash out other less desirable songs I have stuck in my head. Works every time.
adjacentroom cleansing the unwanted quagmire of current music.
I blasted this song when I was learning to drive. I love this song.
...but I know why.
@idolicide lol
I spent many hours in my car after school listening to this, Nirvana, L7 and the Plasmatics.. et cetera.. Best times ever.. Being alone with music that kicks you in the fucking face! Rock on Soundgarden!
Wow.....senior year.....great times man. I took every last one of the great bands out then for granted. I just figured music always kicked major ass. Uh wanna trade Soundgarden for Justin Bieber?
after listening to this album for about the thousanth time or more, i dont know, i decided this was my favorite song on it. And I never tire of it.
@NickJanosky : I'm at university and I wake up to this album. (Doesn't mather if it takes over an hour to listen to it!)
Before going to bed just now, I thought I need a mellow song. So I closed my eyes and thought, "With the world of music at my beckon call in a youtube search.." this is the song I thought of.
@03041976001 I'm in high school and this music is all I listen to.
@NickJanosky You're in high school now.... and you listen to this??? I SALUTE YOU!! The world needs more young people like you my friend!
@cincykid421 Guess we can just sleep comfortably with stuff we love (not only music)...
@cincykid421 I'm in high school and I do the same thing, every night I fall asleep with my ipod in my ear listening to this album and superunkown.
@cincykid421 kinda like what im doing now, hehe
please i saw them live in 1993!!!!!!!!!EHEEEEEEE
yes Im number four!...wait the number four is no good...oh well at least I get to hear this passionate song!
love this song, never got any pub, except on my record player lol.
Yay! I"m one of the top 5 viewers!
