Cornell wrote this for his good friend Jeff Buckley, who had recently died. Cornell has said that it was one of the most straightforward songs that he has ever written.
Jeff Buckley was an acclaimed singer/songwriter who drowned in 1997 while swimming in the Mississippi River. His father, Tim, was a very influential folk singer who died of a heroin overdose in 1977. Tim was 28 when he died, Jeff was 30.
Euphoria Morning was Cornell's first solo album, which he followed in 2007 with Carry On and in 2009 with Scream. He was formerly lead singer of Soundgarden, and went on to form Audioslave.
