Chris Cornell cerró setlist con canción que habla sobre la muerte

“In my time of dying, I want nobody to mourn

All I want for you to do is take my body home…”

“En mi hora de muerte no quiero que nadie se lamente. Todo lo que quiero es que lleven mi cuerpo a casa” así inicia «In My Time of Dying», la canción con la que  Chris Cornell cerró su set la noche de este miércoles, durante el cierto que dio Soundgarden en Detroit.  

 

«In My Time of Dying» es un tema original de Led Zeppelin, Cornell y su banda solían tocarla en sus conciertos, por lo que no parecía alguna señal. Lo hicieron de nuevo para cerrar el espectáculo en el teatro Fox de Detroit. Unas horas después, Cornell fue encontrado muerto en su habitación de hotel. Tenía 52 años.

 

Joey Mugan, uno de los fans asistentes al concierto de Soundgarden comentó para CNN que: «Fue genial, era tan cerca como se podía estar. Pero honestamente había algo que se veía mal con él anoche», dijo Mugan. «No pensé en eso porque el show era muy bueno», añadió.

 

Mugan se encontraba en la primera fila frente al escenario, por lo que pudo conseguir el setlist de la noche.

 

Setlist from the last show Detroit Rock Fucking city. Had to play Rock Paper Scissors for this I swear. Can't believe this was the last show. RIP to the legend Chris Cornell. #soundgarden #chriscornell #ripdude #foxtheatre #detroitrockcity #concertmemorabilia #livemusic

Aquí la letra completa de  «In My Time of Dying», es una verdadera despedida y plegaria a Jesús.

 

In my time of dying, I want nobody to mourn

All I want for you to do is take my body home

Well, well, well, so I can die easy [x2]

Jesus, going to make up

Jesus, going to make up my dying bed

Meet me, Jesus, meet me

Meet me in the middle of the air

If my wings should fail me, Lord

Please meet me with another pair

Well, well, well, so I can die easy [x2]

Jesus, going to make up

Somebody, somebody

Jesus going to make up

Jesus going to make you my dying bed

Well, well, well, so I can die easy

Jesus, going to make up

Somebody, somebody

Jesus going to make up

Jesus going to make you my dying bed

Oh, Saint Peter, at the gates of heaven

Won’t you let me in

I never did no harm

I never did no wrong

Oh, Gabriel, let me blow your horn, let me blow your horn

Oh, I never did, did no harm

I’ve only been this young once

I never thought I’d do anybody no wrong

No, not once

Oh, I did somebody some good

Somebody some good

Oh, did somebody some good

I must have did somebody some good

Oh, I believe I did

I see the smiling faces

I know I must have left some traces

And I see them in the streets

And I see them in the field

And I hear them shouting under my feet

And I know it’s got to be real

Oh, Lord, deliver me

All the wrong I’ve done

You can deliver me, Lord

I only wanted to have some fun

Hear the angels marching, hear them marching, hear them marching

Hear them marching, the’ marching

Oh my Jesus, oh my Jesus, oh my Jesus [x3]

Oh my Jesus, oh my Jesus

It’s pretty good up here

Oh Georgina, oh Georgina, oh Georgina, oh Georgina

Oh I’ll see you again

Oh, don’t you make it my dying, dying, dying

Cough!

That’s gotta be the one, ain’t it?

Come have a listen, then

Oh yes, thank you
