BLACK HOLE SUN
Soundgarden is a grunge band formed in Seatle (Washington) in 1984's. It was one of the seminal bands in the creation of grunge. Its debut album was "Ultramega Ok" in 1988, but it achieved its biggest success with the album "Superunknown" in 1994 with very popular singles like "Spoonman" or "Black Hole Sun", the song that I have choosen for this blog.
The videoclip for this song was directed by Howard Greenhalgh. In this video, the first images that we can notice are people in their american-stereotiypical way of life, doing this through a vision of a pleasing, colorful and plenary environment. However, this vision is quickly distortioned until turning and showing the real face of the corrupted society, through deformed and exagerated smiles and gesticulations. Justifying this way the apocaliptic vision of a black hole absorbing everything and everyone starting from the middle of the video. Like cleaning trash so to speak.
Regarding the song composed by vocalist and guitarist Chriss Cornell. He recognizes that in regard to this point does not seek a clear message, however intended to reflect the sense of desolation.
To complete the personal reason why I chose this song, basically is that Soundgarden is my favorite band and this song is why I started to listen.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I !!
