Soundgarden was a seminal seattlerock band who helped to define the sound that came to be called grunge. Despite starting years earlier, and having a sound that sooner resembled Black Sabbath or Deep Purple than their contemporaries, they are usually considered one of the 'big four' of the '90s Seattle grunge bands, along with Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. The band was formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell(vocals, and originally on drums) and (bass), to be joined later by Kim Thayil(guitar) and Matt Cameron(drums). Thayil joined the band after moving to Seattle from illinoiswith Yamamoto and Bruce Pavitt, who would later start sub pop records. Yamamoto was replaced by Ben Shepherdon bass after the release of 1989's Louder Than Love.

Yeah
On your breast
I might lay my crowded head
In your light
I might bathe in cold burnt sweat
In your mouth
I might feel the serpent's kiss
In you womb
I might swim in fetal bliss
But in your heart
I'd freeze
In your eyes
I might be your saving grace
In your head
I might say it through your eyes
In your lungs
I might stare between you
But in your heart I'd freeze
I would feed your heart
Take a vow of silence
And put your love out of business
But in your heart
I'd freeze
