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.

Let Me Drown Lyrics
Soundgarden
Stretch the bones over my skin
Stretch the skin over my head
Im going to the holy land
Stretch the marks over my eyes
Burn the candles deep inside
Yeah you know where Im coming from
Give up to greed, you dont have to feed me
Give up to fate, you dont have to need me
So let it go, let it go, wont you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
Slip down the darkness to the mouth
Damn the water burn the wine
Im going home for the very last time
So throw it away, you dont have to take me
Make no mistakes Im what you make me
So let it go, let it go, wont you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
I see you turn around and burning down
The feeling starts to sink
I feel the hurt surround me
Please dissolve me
Shes resolved to be
Heal my wounds without a trace
Seal my tomb without my face
Im going to the lonely place
Give up to greed, you dont have to feed me
Give up to fate, you dont have to need me
So let it go, let it go, wont you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
