Chris Cornell incontrò Jeff a Londra durante il tour mondiale di Grace e da allora rimasero buoni amici. Scrisse questa canzone per descrivere come si sentiva quando Buckley morì. Questo è quello che Chris Cornell ha ditto circa questo pezzo:
“I wanted to write a song about him, but I realised that I'd written songs like that before and I didn't really want to write a song about my person relationship with him. I've written about losing people before and what they were like as people before, so I wanted to write about what life is like after they've gone because you never come to terms with the death of some young, glowing person. I mean, you can't somehow become comfortable with it and say 'It's OK, Its Gods will and its part of life.' You gotta be angry about that. He died tragically in some weird accident. He was a brilliant creative person that I looked forward to being inspired by for years and then he died. That pissed me off. So writing about it, the best I could do was to try and describe the day to day moments of dealing with it, not try and accept it because I never will”.
Chris Cornell
- Wave Goodbye
(da Euphoria Morning)
words get tangled on your tongue
and you stumble on your tears
when you miss somebody
and everywhere you think
you see them walking down the street
when you miss somebody
oh yeah when you miss somebody
you tell yourself a hundred thousand times
nobody ever lives forever
so you give it one more try -
wave goodbye
wave goodbye
every hurtful thing you ever said
is ringing in your ears
when you miss somebody
and every thing of beauty
that you see
only brings a tear
when you miss somebody
oh when you miss somebody,
you tell yourself that everything will be alright,
got to stand up strong babe
when all you want to do
is lay down and die
wave goodbye
so now you stop to recognise
that every single path you see
leads to a tear in your eye
wave goodbye
wave goodbye
wave goodbye
wave goodbye
