Soundgarden - Rowing Lyrics






Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Moving is breathing and breathing is life
Stopping is dying, you'll be alright
Life is a hammer waiting to drop
Adrift in the shallows and the rowing won't stop

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Can't see the sky, nothing on the horizon
Can't feel my hands and the water keeps rising
Can't fall asleep cause I'll wake up dead
I just keep pulling, I just keep rolling

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going (I don't know where I'm going)
I just keep on rowing, I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Rowing is living and living is hard
But living beats losing all that we are
And all that we know of and all that we feel
And all we remember imagined or real
All we remember imagined or real

I heard an echo but the answer had changed
From the word I remember that I started out saying
Living is cheating if you're not pulling oars
But the current is leaving, I'll get mine, you'll get yours

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Rowing is bleeding and bleeding is breathing
Breathing is feeling burning and freezing
Keep getting dirty but I started out clean
I keep on rowing, I keep on rowing
I keep on pulling, I keep on pulling
I keep on rowing, I keep on rowing
I keep on rowing, I keep on rowing
I keep on rolling
Keep on rolling

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
[x2]

  1. s.... w....

    3:08-3:15. Chills down my spine.

    s.... w....

    Nobody will ever be able to do that ever again

  2. C.... S....

    ATTENTION ALL TRUE CHRIS CORNELL AND SOUNDGARDEN FANS; COME JOIN ME ON FB. CHRIS CORNELL FANCLUB. LET'S KEEP HIS LEGACY ALIVE. KEEP ROWING.

    C.... S....

    Stfu you pathetic idiot.

  3. E.... r....

    Fantastic..

  4. A.... O....

    What a song 🤯

  5. t.... c....

    God damn I miss Chris

    t.... c....

    I feel ya...💔

  6. D.... D....

    King Cornell !!!!!

  7. R.... P....

    BADDASS!!!

  8. t.... ....

    Well made sir, thank you! Soundgarden forever! Long live Chris

  9. A.... S....

    I didn't care for this song at all at first but it ended up being one of my favs on King Animal :)

  10. T.... F....

    Dammit Chris (RiP)! Was trying to take a relaxing ride home, 10 miles out, this song queues up and I find myself in high gear. What do I do? Throw it in a loop and beat the devil. Thanks for the workout, brother, feeling good today, needed the therapy.

    T.... F....

    Keep on rowing Tim!

  11. T.... *....

    Ben Shepherd.....mad genious

    T.... *....

    Ben is awesome...Chris also contributed to the music though..

    T.... *....

    I miss the guys; I want them back, they don't actually need to call themselves Soundgarden, just try to play something together; the loss of Chris still pains me, it was a major loss for SG for many many reasons, but I still think that the remaining members have really good chemistry together... it's a pity if new music isn't born!

  12. A.... N....

    Replay every day

    A.... N....

    You're not from the UK are you? Do you know a guy called Dudley? If so, insane coincidence!

    A.... N....

    @Jack No I'm in the US, but do know the name Dudley well.

  13. T.... L....

    Most grunge song you'll find anywhere

    T.... L....

    Grunge is a label made up by corporate America. Soundgarden and all those bands are just rock n roll. In my opinion, "grunge" wouldn't have become a word if Kurt Cobain took a bath more often. Eddie, Layne,and Chris were always well groomed and clean.

    T.... L....

    Grunge was termed by Mark Arm... where do people keep getting this conspiracy theory of “corporate America” “making up Grunge”?

    T.... L....

    @Aavila120 Well damn, I know your right.

    T.... L....

    Grunge isn’t a Genre. Just say in’.

  14. C.... S....

    This song is fucking badass! Hail the King of Grunge forever, they took you from here but never from our hearts! Love you Chris.

  15. S.... T....

    2:39 to 3:39 best minute in music!
    Exquisite!

  16. C.... H....

    IMO,This is the best song on YouTube.

    C.... H....

    Well damn!

  17. A.... E....

    feel that

    A.... E....

    ....As it passes skin and bones to rest in the soul..... cheers friend

  18. F.... o....

    Chris Cornell will always keep Rock music alive.

  19. E.... V....

    This hit a nerve and it feels good....

  20. J.... M....

    Thought this was an actual video. Good one.

  21. H.... A....

    Twin flames

  22. C.... D....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  23. d.... ....

    best band ever period!

  24. S.... D....

    uh i cri

  25. I.... ....

    Puedo subtitular tu video en español? Es una joya!

    I.... ....

    Preferiría que no.

    I.... ....

    Javier por? No se puede sobre este mismo video? Desafortunadamente esta clase de cultura no está al alcance de todos. Sería una pena no seguirla difundiendo entre los leones que aún duermen no crees...?

    I.... ....

    WAKE THE LIONS! FREE THE ESCLAVOS!

  26. D.... P....

    one of the best bands ever honest lyrics powerful voice and badass insane riffs cant get enough of this masterpiece

  27. C.... V....

    During the final feedback at the tribute to Chris, Ben put a little section of this bass riff in his loop. It broke my heart.

  28. Z.... W....

    This album is Far Matured from the 90's. Simply their best work, and will live on forever.

  29. L.... B....

    Until you stop rowing.

    L.... B....

    fuck you

    L.... B....

    Fuck you

  30. D.... i....

    The only reason this wasn't a massive hit was because this kind of music had fallen out of style.

    D.... i....

    It has this vibe like "tribal".
    I love it. He experiments with his voice. It sounds like Ben's album from 2013.

  31. J.... ....

    This perfectly describes what it feels like to row.

    J.... ....

    from an obvious perspect..

  32. C.... A....

    Goodbye Chris... See you later.

  33. S.... ....

    There will Never be another like Chris Cornell.. His Hauntingly Beautiful Lyrics & That Voice That will Continue to be The Voice of a Generation & so much more to us.. So Loved & Missed 💔

  34. C.... G....

    This man will never be silenced!

    C.... G....

    never bro!!!

    C.... G....

    Fuck yeah man!

  35. A.... L....

    Gawd that voice... Absolutely haunting

    A.... L....

    Chris was awsome in all those bands and in solo. They had great names (and it's rare) with significant and simple meaning (thanks to Chris) and amazing songs that sounded like no one else. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu_p1wbaCa8

  36. h.... ....

    Most amazing lyrics...so insightful...rip chris

  37. D.... H....

    E.... ....

    Evan best comment right here

  39. q.... ....

    this is god

  40. A.... ....

    Ladies and gentlemen. This is the blues we are hearing. The real deal.

  41. O.... T....

    so funny using the Prince mirror effect from When Doves Cry ... RIP Prince and Chris

  42. J.... M....

    2:46 you rock Chris!!!

  43. B.... P....

    s.... u....

  53. G.... E....

    Love you CC

  54. 4.... G....

    👍👍👍👍👍

  55. R.... ....

    I could never judge you by what you chose to do, it's not up to me, I leave it to the greater forces above us... but, knowing that I say this being a fool to know that you may not be aware of what I say now ... whatever the purpose you now says that I hear you again ... I will carry everything that u left for me and us and this will be enough to remind myself, and I hope that if for some absurdity, you are aware of what I am and other saying here right now ... that it's worth it, that I'm taking you here in with me, on the core of my existence, until my time comes, that I will not remember when and the way you left me and us all, and what you did until them, you do now, and still will do now after all, play an important part of my life and perphaps, all other lifes, you have already saved me several times and I am grateful for that, go on my good pal, until then... Don't know where i'm going, I just keep on rowing... R.I.P.

  56. H.... F....

    Great work of edit! Congrats!

  57. A.... L....

    I've been trying to put words together, but they're not there. I will say however, that this is the best from Chris and Soundgarden that I've heard in a long time.

  58. G.... C....

    I love it save my life

  59. t.... ....

    6 months. That is half a year. Hard to believe. Hope you be making great tunes up there with your buddies. Chris we miss you. A lot has happened since you left us.

  60. N.... ....

    Such an awesome song. Great lyrics, and bass line. Chris could have sang out the ingredients of processed food and made it sound awesome.

    Rest easy, bro.

  61. C.... M....

    Rowing is bleeding and bleeding is breathing
    Breathing is feeling burning and freezing
    Keep getting dirty but I started out clean
    I keep on rowing, I keep on rowing
    I keep on pulling, I keep on pulling
    I keep on rowing, I keep on rowing
    I keep on rowing, I keep on rowing
    I keep on rolling
    Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep on rolling <3

  62. M.... G....

    There's some really good music on this album. I also love Worse dreams, very radio cool rock-pop, while were is it on the radio?!! There's a lot of stuff out there that's not being seen, new Pearl Jam, Jane's Addiction - really nice, like aged wine, lots of soul and honed talent. Ask for it...

  63. C.... S....

    Love this❤️❤️

  64. A.... L....

    Loved this song when it came out, and now I'm hooked on it again. Can't get it out of my mind...

  65. k.... ....

    Fucking Amazing!!

  66. T.... ....

    i love this whole album

  67. E.... W....

    Cool as shit.... words are fucking haunting.... RIP Chris. Love you.

    E.... W....

    I miss you Chris

  68. D.... T....

    Is this fan-made from a live performance? I think it's great either way. And the song is killer! Deserves way more views...

  69. A.... A....

    1.25x speed is nice too

    A.... A....

    Sounds better this way!

  70. C.... D....

    Rest in Peace Love month and 2 weeks gone We LOVE you Chris Thank you

  71. m.... ....

    Love this video. Thanks for sharing!

  72. C.... D....

    To ALL . Please read his Billboard article on his daymares about The Promise

    C.... D....

    Candace D I read the article and it was so sad.Chris was so sensitive and empathic , wasn't he? Is there a particular reason you're suggesting this article? Is there some sort of hidden theme or a subtext to this article?
    I'm just curious about everything, and anything that can give me, new insights on, Chris.
    I really want to know, I'm not trolling or anything. I'll give you my Thank You's advance, in case I did happen to miss something in the article. PEACE!

  73. C.... D....

    God Bless you Chris 3 Weeks with out you Physically now . Thank you We Love you Resting in Peace

  74. e.... ....

    i miss you

  75. A.... L....

    Absolutely LOVE this song! If you don't I don't give a shit. This is Chris and Soundgarden at their best.

  76. A.... ....

    This song is one of the best they've ever made. King animal took a while and repeated listens to sink in, like all Soundgarden albums, but it's amazing. Black Saturday is another that really grew on me.

    A.... ....

    @ AtariJaguarFan- Yeah, I truly dig this tune, and the album matter of fact. Sounds like the natural evolution/flow of the band. I think it's sweet, heavy, and groovy. ✌🏼

    A.... ....

    This song, A Thousand Days Before and Black Saturday stand shoulder to shoulder with their 90’s work I think.

  77. A.... S....

    I think he would regret his stupid drugged up choice. FUCK dude....stupid move. disappointed ...angry.....love the music.

    A.... S....

    Darling did you read the billboard article about his daymares from The Promise

    A.... S....

    WTF are you even babbling about  oh you believe everything your told on tv  that's right

    A.... S....

    Ade Stickbaby He was clean. No drugs.

    A.... S....

    Ade Stickbaby you are right

  78. b.... b....

    I cant believe I didnt like this Record 1st listen. Holy Crap I dig it now, Rest Well Kind Soul, Rest well.

  79. H.... T....

    R.I.P bro

  80. T.... H....

    Beautiful job with the editing!

    T.... H....

    Terry Hesticles ravishing job

  81. J.... C....

    Of course this song is incredible but just wanted to say the video is immaculately executed.

  82. S.... J....

    Like it..

  83. J.... E....

    That's fuckin awesomeness​ what a voice my favorite musician RIP

  84. J.... E....

    What lyrics !!!

    J.... E....

    John Esquivel ....right?!

  85. p.... a....

    ben shepherd is my favorite bass player ever

    p.... a....

    paol antonio I feel worse for him than anybody else in the band. First, he lost his bar, and had basically faded into obscurity, then got new life, only to lose his band too.

  86. p.... a....

    chris cornell is a rock god. we'll miss you. I miss you now. you left us here, Chris. we're all still here, and now that you're gone it's much harder for us.

    p.... a....

    paol antonio we will see him again. promise. we all go home

  87. f.... ....

    why has this great video been removed?

  88. B.... C....

    Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
    I just keep on pulling, gotta row

    I think these are the perfect final lyrics for Soundgarden, what a coda.
    R.I.P.

  89. t.... ....

    when I heard he died today I was sad and shocked I thought of this song right away this song is appropriate today 😓 I'm bummed out today RIP Chris ✊

  90. J.... S....

    I keep on rowing i....keep on rowing I....KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP ON ROWING!!! Fucking epic!

  91. M.... U....

    R.I.P.  WE WILL MISS. THAT GREAT VOICE.

  92. A.... ....

    RIP to the great....

  93. f.... ....

    this song did it for me, summed up life and what he thought! will miss Cornell, however he gave so much to us rock/grunge fans, I really don't think he had anything left to give! amazing song writer one of the best in rock for me! just remember he's not fucking resting he's dead!

  94. l.... ....

    WTF ? R>I>P

  95. R.... L....

    Well Played Sir. Spectacular job editing the Video. Masterful.

  96. S.... D....

    lifes journey. pretty deep
