I have recently discovered that I made a terrible mistake when
transcribing "Fell on Black Days."  My taped copy was flawed and I
interpreted all the pitches to be a half step down.  I have now
corrected the mistake.  I am very sorry to inconvience you, but I feel
it would be a great injustice to post a misleading transcription.  Here
is the corrected transcription.  I hope to see the BTA exand soon!

	it seems to me that this is about a guy that was generally a good person and made people around him happy. soemthing happened to him(or somebody close to him) and now he's jaded and dpressed, he doesn't understand why bad/depressing things happen to good people and doesn't know how to handle it

	to me, this song has the same sorta basic theme as another song on superunknown, "the day i tried to live".

	amazing amazing song, i love the last line about hands. i've put it in my away message and have actually gotten comments from people out of nowhere saying how good that line is.

	Not to sound too depressing, but some days, this song feels like it's the soundtrack to my life. Knowing that someone else made it through similar helps.

No Picture Cody Rhythm Player	#5 by Cody Stone at May 22, 1999 at 9:56 AM EST
	A Great song to listen when you've really fallen on black days. The music is great. Grunge kiks ass. The video is fukig cool too. Any one knows how Kim Thayil gets the effects on this please mail me. And where can i find the accoustic version ?.

	So what you wanted to see good has made you blind And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly Hands are for shaking No, not tying These are the lines that make the entire song. I mean the song is good but these lines make it great. Also, the accoustic version is awesome. If you haven't heard it you should.
