When the news of Chris Cornell's passing became public, we, like most Cornell fans, went straight to his music for comfort. As I listened to Like a Stone, it was very spiritual for me. There are overtones in the song that lead me to feel like he was talking to God. He spoke of a book full of death, and the Bible is full of death and full of life. Chris says of longing to be in a house where like. The stone he wasn't leaving, he was willing to wait for as long as it took. The words most feel like a prayer in a way.
