"I look at people like that who write lyrics that are so outside of the box-they make you think, they just kind of take you out of your own consciousness in a way.
"I’ve always had this idea of how cool it would be to get lyrics from Bernie Taupin and try to come up with something half as good as what Elton John did, you know," he said. This previously unreleased somber ballad is from Songbook, a solo acoustic album recorded live by Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell. "It was a bit of a downer and I still remember thinking, 'How do I tell him no?' How do I tell my vocal hero that this isn't going to work for us?'"ĭaughtry shifted focus to a more positive topic, which wasn't just about a dream collaborator, but a dream co-writer: Bernie Taupin. The majority of that album featured previously released songs, like Temple of the Dog's "Call Me a Dog" or Audioslave's "I Am the Highway," but there were two new songs that Songbook marked their first official release: "The Keeper" and "Cleaning My Gun." The former was part of the soundtrack for Machine Gun Preacher, which leads us to speculate that the song Cornell pitched to Daughtry was "Cleaning My Gun." While Daughtry didn't specifically name the track, he did say it was released on Cornell's live acoustic album, 2011's Songbook. Thematically, it was quite depressing actually. It was kind of heartbreaking because the song didn't go with what we were doing. "I got to meet Cornell and he actually sent me a song once on tour," he explained. " would've been something that probably would have never actually happened, but I still think of it as if it could have," he told Chuck.Ĭornell, on the other hand, almost did happen.
