Tonight’s show we are going deep. We are going to talk about life, death, things that cause us to draw our attention to certain passings as milestones in our lives and we’ll also technolgy in the news, games and normal OFR stuff. But first off…

Chris Cornell - RIP

Why does a musician, actor or celebrity in general passing effect us? Every year we call out their names, we mark their passing, in memoriam montages on award shows.

When I'm Down - Chris Cornell

What say you now?

The door is opening on your vigil

And I'm in my usual way

I save my breath, knowing what you're

Wanting me to say

I only love you when I'm down

You say that midnight opens its arms to me

Leaving you alone, and I fly so far away

Until the light blurs my vision

And I have nowhere to roam

I only love you when I'm down

 

And I only love you when I'm down

And I'm only near you when I'm gone

But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know

I'm down all the time

 

Well I know you're reaching out

And you need to feel my hand

You want to be understood, yeah well I understand

I know you hold precious little hope for me

And in your happiness

I'm always drowning in my grief

And I only love you when I'm down

And I'm only near you when I'm gone

But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know

I'm down all the time

All the time, all the time, all the time
