You Never Knew My Mind by Chris Cornell Song Info
Chris Cornell transformed a pair of Johnny Cash poems into a heart-wrenching acoustic ballad, "You Never Knew My Mind." The ballad is the late Soundgarden singer's contribution to a collection of Cash's unrecorded poetry, lyrics and letters put to music called Forever Words. "You Never Knew My Mind," premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show and arrives on what would have been Cash's 86th birthday. The song is also the first posthumous track to feature Cornell's vocals since the singer's May 2017 death.
