Murderer of Blue Skies

2 idiotic comments . It has nothing to with "drugs" or addiction. Cornell for a start was clean for the last 14 years, his biggest addictions were to diet coke, and of course his music . His final album Higher Truth spoke loud and clear to anyone who was a fan and had been following the career and to some extent the life and indeed the aftermath of his tragic and unexpected death. Murderer of Blue skies is about Vicky . Every single line is about her and how she had conned, decieved, controlled and caged this patient, warm hearted , loving empath who lived for his family , his children, more to the point .Extremely vulnerable when entrapped by Vicky the trained from infancy predatory opportunist. Her equally greedy gold digging mother had her groomed from an early age to find and entrap a rich vulnerable man to provide for her and the entire family and Chris was the unfortunate man who was entrapped at the most vulnerable time of his life. Straight out of rehab, marriage falling apart under the stress , advised by his negligent counsellors at Promises rehab to not return to Seattle where he would be triggered into using again , he was a prime target for her when he arrived at the Audioslave after-party on that equally tragic ""starry night in Paris" where Vicky the gold digging fame whore was waiting to pounce . Chris no doubt fell for her at the time because his mind had been rewired in rehab into thinking drastic change was a good thing . Sne lived in Paris and what a convenient way for him to escape Seattle. His poor wife ,whom he was still married to at the time was oblivious to all of this, but Vicky knew exactly what she was doing and shock horror suddenly she was pregnant and the trap was snapped shut on him . He had a crumbled marriage back in Seattle and a chance to start a new life with a younger woman and child (the paternity of which many still doubt this day because of the timeline involved) completely clean of his addictions in a foreign country .... What's not to understand ? Empaths are also drawn to narcissists and thidnwas the case here. The empath subconsciously believes they are restoring balance when realistically they are just destroying themselves .

Chris finally woke up possibly a few years previous to his death . We do know that he was seperated (fact) and in the process of divorcing Vicky (assumed) at the time of his death. She was the last person to spesk to him. Excuse me , fight with him, on the phkne on the nignt of his death. Now, whether he commited suicide or was suicided is a whole other web of drama with much weight to the claims but I won't go into that, only to say that it is not beyond the realm of possibility tjst the Karriyannis Klan would be very easily paid off to shut up. These people thrive on msming their money via law suits and there have been many indicators that the Karriyannis family were (and still are) involved in many underhanded illegal activities without his knowledge using his money , including sex trafficking. Vicky was also known to have been pilfering hundreds of thousands in "administrator expenses" from the foundation they were involved in, unknown to Chris. It's been mentioned that discovery of these activities and much other deception led to the downfall of Chris Cornell. He most definitely wrote "Murderer of Blue Skies" and the song entitled "Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart" with the aforementioned narcisstic golddigging fame whore in mind . Do you really think he would have approved of their behaviour in this last year in his memoriam? Or how they have pushed his daughter by Vicky into the limelight as their new cash cow , a plan doomed to fail and humiliate that 13 year old child? Have they ever truly shown proper decorum when it comes to grieving this man? Have you ever seen any photographs from the last few years which depicts happiness and love which are not staged or phoned in to paparazzi in advance by the self entitled publicist herself ? And the whole "keep the promise" b.s? Keeping the promise apparently involved continuous holidays involving sunbathing and shopping at designer stores in Italy, Greece and other well to do hotspots . The "promise" of funding for vulnerable children exploited abused or neglected has never come to pass. Vicky is the "Murderer of Blue Skies"

And there we have my opinion . It's all alleged of course ;)

@Nomorebullsh.t You're so right... Only real fans can see (hear-feel)... It doesn't have to be always about the fuckn drugs... or about his life neither, but...

I'm sharing a link here where you all can see him talking about this song... Looking at his eyes makes me want to cry (I'm an empath too...)

Great song, I suppose the "you" could be a person who has betrayed you/used you in life, but I also considered the "you" was a metaphor for drugs. Drugs are that relationship that "builds a cage for me".

i had a narcisistic ex wife not too long ago and i am not much on lyrics really i like the music first and then as i listen to it enough i sometimes get a grasp of the words. Cornell is my favorite singer and the first time i heard this i literally wanted to copy the lyrics and send it to my ex wife - it is exactly what i want to say to her its sooo eerie. i think a lot of people feel this way that have had to deal with someone they think has wronged them unjustifiably. its a great song. i am trying to figure out though what he meant when he says "i wont break the limb they bend" i dont understand that one part - before i looked at the lyrics i always thought it said i wont break but i may bend

lyrics seem good i think first line refrain 'murderer' not murder but ya MAY actually be right there idk --

great vocals here by chris cornell think it's a ballad for a woman and his tenor vocals really are pwnage here, esp even as he got a bit later on in years.. what a legendary grunge singer songwriter...

anyways i really think it's about confiding and Knowing his woman to a brilliant point and then the fall from grace in the relationship (whoever may be to blame, Chris' heart was always there..) and the way that he was placed in a role of deception rather than liberation .. even in the song you can see he knows the other's position but this is surely a rock poet's ballad for the ages..

love the lead electric in the bg and the overall song map

rest, ip

Great song, I suppose the "you" could be a person who has betrayed you/used you in life, but I also considered the "you" was a metaphor for drugs. Drugs are that relationship that "builds a cage for me".

Cornell poetically captures the essence of addiction. So sly, drug addiction will condemn and cage your soul.
