Euphoria Mourning is so fucking awesome

It's Euphoria Morning guys.

It was a pretty dark album lyrically and pretty depressing, and I was going through a really difficult time in my life – my band wasn’t together anymore, my marriage was falling apart and I was dealing with it by drinking way too much, and that has its own problems, particularly with depression. So I titled the album Euphoria Mourning, but right before the record came out and I was doing interviews over the radio for example, if you say “Euphoria Mourning”, the listener doesn’t know if it’s mourning with a “u” or morning without a “u”. And that started to bother me. So I had a conversation with my manager at the time, and said I really love the title but do you think it’s confusing? And he suggested that Euphoria Morning would probably be a better title. I thought, in contrast to the lyrics maybe that works. And it wasn’t my manager’s fault, I was a grown man and could say I don’t think that’s a good idea, and in the back of my mind I didn’t think it was a good idea. But mentally I wasn’t together enough to really know what was right. So I went with “Morning”, and it’s bothered me ever since. It even showed up in an early review where someone reviewing the record said that the title sounded like a potpourri scent, and when I read that I was just like [with disdain], “Fuck! Fuckin’ bullshit!” The title was so beautifully poetic to begin with, just the concept of euphoria in mourning; it was a moment I felt inspired and I let all the air out of it. So when we decided to do its first vinyl release I thought, I want to change the fuckin’ title! [Laughs] It’s time to change it.

Kind of shocked I'm the first one to post this. Another solid cover by Mr. Cornell (today would have been his 56th birthday). Maybe the covers album he worked with BoB prior to his death may see the light of day?

There's money to be made there, so it will see the light of day eventually.

I wonder if him n axl were close.. i remember gnr covering black hole sun live for him

Yup, 100%, unfortunately the first thought that ran through my head when I heard it this morning.

I wonder how far he got with that covers album? So far we've got Patience and Nothing Compares 2 U that have seen the light of day.

He did a great version of Betterman on his solo tour - I wonder if that ever got recorded.
