Room A Thousand Years Wide
Soundgarden · 5 Classic Albums [2012]
Listen, hear, he is inside
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine
It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
A thousand doors a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
He walks in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine
It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
A thousand doors a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
He walks in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Room A Thousand Years Wide
Recorded by Soundgarden for their 2012 compilation, 'Room A Thousand Years Wide' stands as a definitive example of the band's grunge and alternative rock legacy. Featuring Matt Cameron's signature drumming and Chris Cornell's emotive vocals, the track captures the raw energy and melodic sophistication that defined the group's peak era. While often overshadowed by their massive hit 'Black Hole Sun,' this song remains a powerful testament to the band's ability to blend heavy distortion with atmospheric depth. It serves as a crucial piece of their discography, showcasing the intricate songwriting and dynamic interplay between the members that made them a cornerstone of 1990s rock music.
