I had never really thought about the song this way but being the mother of a 5 month old boy Wow! does it fit! I suppose I had sort of related it to any new or foreign experience but never specifically thought of it in terms of being a parent. The term Alive in the Superunknown I had always thought of as something I would want written on my tombstone. Obviously relating it to death is kind of morbid but what an upbeat way to think about the "afterlife" whatever it may hold. Keep interpreting everyone, I think this is very interesting! - ---------- From: oponfam@cnsnet.com[SMTP:oponfam@cnsnet.com] Sent: Monday, January 13, 1997 10:35 PM To: SG Mailing list Subject: Personal Interpretations I've really enjoyed reading people's personal interpretations of songs. In fact I had been thinking of offering that thread because I have a few of my own. Let me start with SuperUnknown. Every time I hear this song it makes me think about the experience of being a parent. I have two kids, 4 and 2 years old, and since they were born I've often felt like I have embarked on a journey into the great unknown - and the song seems to really describe how I feel. And bear with me. I'm well aware that these lines have deeper meanings than what I'm giving them, but we're talking "personal" interpretations here. Let me go verse by verse: "If this isn't what you see It doesn't make you blind" As a parent things aren't always as they appear to be. Sometimes you can't figure out what's going on, medically or emotionally or behaviorally, but it doesn't mean you're blind, or stupid. "If this doesn't make you feel It doesn't mean you've died" I love this line. When you are exhausted and overwhelmed sometime you feel like you must be dead, you feel kind of numb, but you have to go on. I picture myself sitting like a lump during a particularly wild day, watching my kids (both boys I forgot to say) going nuts, thinking "I am so tired, this doesn't even bother me". "Where the river's high" For me this means high emotion, being on the edge. "If you don't want to be seen (wishing I could hide from the kids, get some privacy) You don't have to hide (No, I just have to get my time some other way) If you don't want to believe (I can't believe he did that! I can't believe *I* did that!) You don't have to try To feel alive." Of all the joys of having children, feeling more alive is my favorite. I don't have to "try" to feel alive. Just watching and being with my kids makes me feel alive. "Alive in the Superunknown" Perfect description of the whole parenting experience. I don't know if it ever gets less unnerving, if I'll ever feel like an expert, but right now every day is an adventure. Even after the second was born, and I thought I knew all about babies, his personality was so different that it was like starting all over. Now, this isn't a bad thing. It sure makes life exciting. I definitely see this as a positive song. "First it steals your mind" For me describes the first few months with a new baby, feeling nuts. "And then it steals your soul" This is when I fall head over heels in love with the child and they have my soul forever. You get the idea (I hope) so I'm going to skip the next "If this doesn't, it doesn't mean" part since the ideas are similar, just the ambiguities of dealing with life and small children. I love this next part: "Get yourself afraid" I was always pretty much of a daredevil until I had kids. Now I know the real meaning of "afraid". I think parents have pretty vivid imaginations when it comes to horrible things that could happen to their kids. "Get yourself alone" (Something I think every stay-at-home mom dreams of) "Get yourself contained Get yourself control" For me those last two lines describe the process I go through when one, or both of them really piss me off. Rather than kill them I get "contained" and "control", or "self-control", as I think he means here. "Alive in the Superunknown First it steals your mind And then it steals your...soul" Even the music and the feel of the song fit in with my feelings about it. Any of you with kids (or without kids, I don't want to discriminate) take another listen and tell me what you think. Sorry this is so long, but its been waiting to come out for some time now. Hope I didn't bore you all. I have a personal interpretation of Zero Chance too, but I guess I'll do that another time.

Also Kathie wrote: >Every time I hear this song(Superunknown) it >makes me think about the experience of being a parent. Very interesting thoughts on the song Kathie. But I think of "Slaves and Bulldozers" myself in thinking about parenting. First off I feel like a slave to a 6 year olds whims and needs sometimes and second I need a bulldozer to clean out that pit she calls a room!!! Also repeating the line"Everything I say is what I mean" over and over reminds me of my constant reinforcing of "who's the boss" and if I say something I meant it the first time don't make me say it 100 times.

Kinser" Subject: Dusty(Moby Mix) I finally found a copy of the BUTOW single and have to say that the Dusty remix is incredible. I mainlylisten to electronic music and Soundgarden is one of the few organic(by that I mean they use the traditional set up of guitar/bass/drums, no samples, etc.) And to hear Moby remix Dusty is great. It even surpasses the Steve Fisk remixes of Spoonman and Big Dumb Sex. Next time I go out to a club I'm going to give the DJ the single and have him play the song to see the reaction from the crowd. Now I know what everyone is thinking, "Soundgarden is not clubby dance music!!!" But God, this song locks into a groove so tight I cant not feel like dancing to it. Now if only Icould get ahold of the other two mixes he did! I hope they continue to allow their music to be remixed like this. Does anyone out there object to the remixes?

I don't see how that means they are "moving in a more > commercialized direction". I was'nt equating singularly being nominated for a Grammy as moving in a more commercialized direction.

Shit, what's wrong with winning an award? Nothing's wrong with it.

You're right. I do need an ego check. :) However, I don't think that recognizing that the Grammy awards represent a commercial rather than artistic accomplishment, and turning my nose up at the vainness that is celebrated by the awards show and the scene that wallows in it, is grounds for an ego check... although I could use one... ;0 I've been amazed every time they've been recognized by the Grammy > people, because you're right, they don't fit into that whole scene.

Matt, first off, This is the order: "665" then "Beyond The Wheel", and then "667". No explanation. Hiro Yamamoto was the original bassist. He grew up with Kim and they both moved to the Seattle area to go to college. Anyway when the band formed it was orignally Chris, Kim, and Hiro and then they got Matt a little later on. Hiro quit after they made Louder than Love because he felt that music was becoming to much of a chore and he was losing confidence in his own songs(Any one who disputes this reason need to read more because Chris said that). Anyway after Hiro left they toured with Jason Everman, ex-Nirvana member, and eventually hooked up with Ben after dropping Jason. Ben played for March of Crime and was a friend of Kim's. for more details consult the webpage. everyones pal, Jeff ------------------------------ From: Gonzo Subject: Re: Dusty(Moby Mix) Personally,I am starting to like the remix version of Dusty better then the studio version on DOTU.I especially like the bass being up front in the mix and the humming at the beginning.

Nothing to do with ego whatsoever. I think it shows less ego if you refuse to be intimidated by them and have some healthy perspective. stand up for what you believe in. i respect bands who go and take the piss out of the ceremony more than those that suck up, personally. i expect nothing less from soundgarden ;-) - --caryn ------------------------------ From: "Jen Kern" Subject: misc. SG Hello everyone! I haven't posted in awhile and thought I would throw in my few bits of probably unnecessary feedback. *I think it's great that SG was nominated for a Grammy. They've worked hard and I believe hard work should be acknowledged. Maybe some people see it as commercial b.s., and perhaps some of it is....but I do not (notice: personal opinion here) feel that that is the intent of the Grammies. Hell, if I worked my ass off on an album, I would not expect an award or anything, but would be honored to be nominated with such other talented artists as the Smashing Pumpkins, STP, Rage, and AIC. Whether you like their music or not, the issue is that these are all very talented groups who have made an impact in rock music. Those who believe this is all just some commercial b.s., I'm at a loss for words.....why does everything have to be taken so damn negatively?? To many, many people this is a very BIG deal, and a great honor. Focusing on whatever hidden agenda some may feel is going on....well you're just helping ruin the true spirit of the Grammies. Okay flame me, I don't care. But seriously think about it...I don't hear people getting into a huge uproar over such award celebrations as say the Olympics. We are showing respect/admiration for those who have worked hard...and it's NOT just the winners we are showing respect for, but for everyone who was nominated and most importantly for the creativity of music. So there! =)~ Rock Shots has some new pictures of SG (from the Des Moines, IA show on 6/27/96).

See ya later, Matt (SndGrdn101) ------------------------------ From: Blatchy@aol.com Subject: Soundgarden Promos Got 'em if you want 'em: Soundgarden-"The Day I Tried To Live" (A&M/31458 8285 2)PROMO EP 3-Songs- $10 Soundgarden-Foreshocks (A&M/31454 8053-2)PROMO 12-Songs-$50 Soundgarden-Superuninterview (A&M/31454 8056-2)PROMO INTERVIEQ 66-tracks-$25 E-mail e if you want them. ------------------------------ From: Mike Lecocke Subject: Vikki, porshes, and Shroom Why aren't there more people in the world like Vikki? First she supplies Shroom with the greatest CC pics,which then go on to haunt evry hootchies' dreams, and then she puts those most excellent pages up on the list so we can all enjoy. (See Tuesday's digest.) What a good egg, that Vikki. We love you. And for whoever it was that asked about Chris' car, he does not (to my knowledge, and what a source I am :)) have a jeep. No way...the Lovely Cornell Man has a "gleaming silver porshe" (as described by Spin Magazine this summer.) Not to mention, it is rumored on this list that that very porshe has one-of-a-kind reclining seats, so as to offer just the right amount of room. hmmm (ask Shroom if you don't beleive me.) So there ya go. Later, luv Margret ------------------------------ From: ThNrthFace@aol.com Subject: Re: Soundgarden Promos and Vegas ideas... Hey everyone! FIrst off, this is highway robbery! There are only 3 *unreleased* songs on Foreshocks, and with some work can be found for MUCH cheaper. In fact, the Blessed SOMMS Goddess Dena (who looks like Xena) found it for $20, and says it's not worth any more than that. Geez, Cellophane Square wouldn't even try to sell it for that much...

Soundgarden has rumored to be doing a spring/summer tour, so when this is announced we can accordingly schedule some dates. I would think sometime in early summer would be good, before it gets TOO hot, and the majority of people can have enough notice so they can get time off if needed and/or will not be in school. Time to save up for the journey is also helpful. So, if any ideas are in your heads, by all means, share! I'll get more back to you soon.

I had the same idea on this as Aaron. Late June (20th --->). I figured school would be on hiatus for most, this gives us plenty of chance to prepare. The balmy (steaming) Vegas atmosphere will beckon and call us from all corners of the globe to unite and convene in the Nevada dessert. Vegas loves conventions. It's gonna be hot already in June, but it's nothing compared to July, August or September. Let's Do It!!

Does anyone know of any SG tribute bands other than the one from Toronto, Canada (they are called SUPERUNKNOWN) give me some input. Also can someone give me an interpretation of what the song Burden in my hand means, either what you have heard or your own idea, i'm interested to know!!!!!! you can e-mail me direct Glenn 688120@ican.net ------------------------------ From: David Miller Subject: my take on the grammies First off, and I think everyone agrees with me on this, the grammies are a hoax. Like Caryn said, it's stupid businessman that never listen to the radio and never go to concerts. And it's their opinion about who they pick to win. And who says our opinion isn't better than theirs (it is)? I also think that you shouldn't put musicians against eachother like this. Bands get put in the wrong categories and it gets all messed up. Are they playing the same songs? No, so how can you judge one over another. And a lot of the bands are only the 'mainstream' and 'hip' (flavor of the month) bands that get nominated. There are so many unsigned bands that have way more talent that it just isn't fair. I agree with what Eddie Vedder di at the grammies. He was not trying to get TV exposure. He didn't like the award, but at least he showed up to get it and didn't totally insult the ceremony. Just my .2 cents. Please, reply...

If she got it for $20, then she got it for a steal. True, a lot of the songs have been released on other CDs. But it's the rarity of the release, not necessarily the songs, that drive the price. Is the Beatles....Yesterday and Today Butcher Babies Covers worth considerably less because you can find the same songs on the more commercially available covers? I've never seen this for less that $40 beacause it wasn't as widely released as Superuninterview(which wasn't that widely released anyways to radio), and in Goldmine they're selling it for $50...and mine is virgin, never played(because I already had all the tracks). ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 3 Issue 12] ***************************************
