Pretty Noose

When asked about the song meaning in an interview, Chris Cornell responded that this is about regretting past decisions. Cornell wrote the music and lyric to the song.

This is a track from Down On The Upside, which was the last non-compilation album album issued before the band split up (they re-formed in 2010). In Europe, the song was the first single released from the album, but in America is was not sold - just sent to radio stations. This meant that the song was not eligible for the Hot 100, but it did make #37 on the Billboard Airplay chart.
