Released as a single in the summer of 1994, the song's success came shortly after the death of the grunge rock icon Kurt Cobain . With its bleak lyrics (particularly the chorus's "black hole sun/Won't you come/And wash away the rain"), its popularity may have been a result of the sadness that was felt throughout the grunge community at the time. The Music Video that accompanied the song contained scenes that possibly reference the British TV series '' Doctor Who ''. Others assert that some scenes reference the films of David Lynch . As in the case of its radio airplay, the video was given heavy rotation on MTV . After the September 11, 2001 Attacks , Clear Channel put it on its List Of Possibly Inappropriate Songs . "Black Hole Sun" has been covered by Paul Anka , Mimi Goese , Incubus , Jandek , Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé , Cibo Matto , Jazz Pianist Brad Mehldau , The Moog Cookbook , Alanis Morissette , as well as by former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell on his '' Euphoria Morning '' tour and by Cornell's current band, Audioslave , on their '' Out Of Exile '' tour.
