Well I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadents
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled

Yeah
But it's on the table
The fire's cooking
And they're farming babies
The slaves are all working

Blood is on the table
The mouths are all choking
But I'm goin' hungry
Yeah

I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadents
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled

But it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And they're farming babies
The slaves are all working

And it's on the table
Their mouths are all choking
But I'm going hungry (Going hungry)
I'm going hungry (Going hungry)
I'm going hungry (Going hungry)

OK I admit it. I have no understanding of why this song is on RP. Its merits completely escape me, no matter how many times I hear it. What is the draw? Is it the vocals? The screeching delivery? The mundane instrumental accompaniment? Music appreciation is qualitative so maybe that's where it ends. But why this piece more than every year or so?



Mundane instrumental accompaniment? How about a single note undertone from an organ in aged secular choral music? Sure, it's one note ad nauseum, but it is still important in the composers mind for the piece...

So ... you don't like it and therefore don't think it should be played more than annually.

You do know there are two vocalists? right?  Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell; the first is the low voice, the latter the high pitched one. Maybe they limited themselves to that arrangement, I don't know.

Takes me be to early college, when Grunge hit the scene and demolished Madonna, Milli Vanilla and such.  I was so stoked.  All manner of alt rock and independent music was on the radio and in the charts for a decade.  Has the Millennial generation brought us a wave of music like this?

"Temple of the Dog was started by Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who had been a roommate of Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. Wood died on March 19, 1990 of a heroin overdose, the day Cornell got back from a tour. As he went on to tour Europe a few days later, he started writing songs in tribute to his late friend. The result was two songs, "Reach Down" and "Say Hello 2 Heaven," which he recorded as soon as he got back from touring."

"Temple of the Dog was an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. It was conceived by vocalist Chris Cornell of Soundgarden as a tribute to his friend, the late Andrew Wood, lead singer of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. The line-up included Stone Gossard on rhythm guitar, Jeff Ament on bass guitar (both ex-members of Mother Love Bone), Mike McCready on lead guitar, Matt Cameron on drums and Eddie Vedder providing lead and backing vocals."

I'd love to hear -every now and then- "say hello to heaven" here & the "hits" mother love bone had. not only because of the "historical"/"tribute" value (I like some of mother love bone's songs a big deal...still). unfortunately the aforementioned songs didn't make it on rp's playlist.

Well, you're half right.  The lineup is Pearl Jam + Chris Cornell.  Though I think at the time it would have been seen more like "the lead singer of that new Soundgarden band + this band who is going to be tremendous shortly, just you watch."

I don't think I have ever heard anyone compare the vocal stylings of Chris Cornell with Darius Rucker!{#Lol}{#Eek}{#No} Not a huge fan of either, but they really don't sound anything alike.  I think you must be referring to the Eddie Vedder parts, yea I can see that though I actually think Darius has a better voice.

I disagree. While I've recently started loving Pearl Jam and Eddie's solo work, and Chris Cornell can carry a tune and hit some amazingly high notes, I wouldn't class either of them as the BEST voices in the rock industry.  Talented, yes.

I simply can't seem to love this song as ardently as other people.  The shrill caterwauling grates on my nerves, much like Geddy Lee's voice does.  If someone's going hungry, they don't have the pipes to scream out (repeatedly) that they're going hungry. 

I guess I just have to be in the right mood for it. Coming right after one of my favorite John Hiatt songs probably stacked the deck against "Hunger Strike" for me.  Sorry.  Perhaps in a different set, it might smack me in the forehead with a revelation.  For now, it just makes my temples throb as if they'd been smacked with a baseball bat...{#Rolleyes}

Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones are what I call rock and roll. This? not so much....
the singer is just so grating. not powerful, grating......
but oh well, different strokes.
fortunately RP plays enough good music to make up for this and a couple other clunkers.

Lyric is drivel none of the group bothered to think about during the writing process, or since.  Performance attempts to pass off caterwaulling as passion, or art, or — most likely— "Sumpin' me and the boys is working on."  Really, really bad.
