Chris Cornell wrote "Say Hello 2 Heaven" before Temple of a Dog was even a thing. His friend Andy Wood, of Mother Love Bone, had just died from a heroin overdose, and Cornell was on tour in Europe with Soundgarden, too heartbroken to talk to anyone about the tragedy. He channeled all his emotion into this song and ultimately his vocal performance on it, instead. Achingly bitter sweet at the time, "Say Hello 2 Heaven," which rides almost solely on Cornell's bluesy, slow-burning, seemingly effortless delivery, takes on a whole other level of almost unbearable poignancy today.
