Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden (1994) Video - One of the landmark alternative-grunge songs, "Black Hole Sun" was written by Chris Cornell, with the thought that the rest of the band wouldn't like it. Regardless, the public did as it became the hit of the Summer of '94. Its deep-seeming, dreamy lyrics are, according to Cornell, "probably the closest to me just playing with words for words' sake." In other words, don't try to attribute meaning to this song, it's just awesome. As is the video.
