Both an ode to Kurt’s then-girlfriend Tracy Marander and a love letter to the Beatles, whose ‘Meet The Beatles’ album he listened to on repeat for an entire afternoon before writing the track. Kurt later described it as a “jangly R.E.M. type of pop song.”
Kurt will live forever. Because, even 26 years after his death, there are millions of people who listen to his songs, his legacy. Worldwide. I am proof of that. I live in Siberia, on the shores of the world's largest freshwater lake Baikal, and I still enjoy Kurt's music and voice.
I agree, Russian friend. I live in La Guaira, Venezuela. And here, right in front of the Caribbean Sea, we enjoy Kurt's legacy and I'm grateful every time I have the pleasure to listen to his music.
the first time i heard this song was from a friend of me singing along with his guitar and me chilling whille drawing some birds in my note book it was like a movie
Moved to South Florida in 1993 after college. I started a new life there about the time I began hearing Nirvana tracks playing on the radio. So rad that their music was peaking at the time my life was just starting to gel. I'll never forget their music.
I'm in this little band and those friends told me I had to learn how to sing this song. I was like: 'OK' and now I'm listening this song over and over in my bed thinking about life. Love Nirvana.
EliteMaster64 why on earth would anyone kill themselves over not having a girlfriend? Look I don't mean to minimise your problems (assuming you're serious) but honestly.. Over not having a girlfriend?? Really?
Recently visiting Seattle for my first time from Europe. With SubPop still existing and Nirvana on some radios the old GRUNGE ERA came alive. Still very cool to listen to these masterpieces. NIrvana - still best of them all. This page is great - thanks for creating these sing along-clips.
This song is about his ex and 1st genuine gf he ever had before he got famous ,she helped him alot was always there for him, paid his bills etc I believe he left her cos he doesn't wanna harm her cos after he got famous he realised fame is a DARK world
This is my favorite Nirvana Song, because there is something to it that it is so meaningful and that is the way Kurt sang it. I felt that he meant every word of this song.
"I'm standing in your line i do hope you have the time i do pick a number too" reminds me of relationship i was in where there was lack of communication
One of the first riffs I ever learned completely gosh I love this song so fucking much I never knew how much nirvana rocked the fucking world gosh we miss u Kurt. Legends never die!!!!!
Dude I always heard that Kurt was a Beatles fan and you can definitely hear that Beatles charm in the chorus of this song. Kurt just gave it more of an edge. Funny after all these years I just realized this listening closely lol.
@@dustinmurrell9925 I'm from Ukraine and Nirvana was little known here 'til 1996 or so, we were a bit behind indeed, everything came here later. So nice of you to point it out, thanks a lot :-/
People should know that Nirvana heavy coppied Azra, amazing and beloved Croatian/Yugoslavian band from early 80's. Chris Novoselic spent some time in Zadar back then when he heard Azra for the first time. A years later, he incorporated the sound and style in Nirvana music. About a girl is Poljubi me.
Why do people have so many different beliefs and opinions about what the ultimate truth is when it should be self-evident? We all live in the same world. *Why does everyone see it differently?* *Your inner environment:* This is your environment from your skin in, from you senses in. This is the environment where your mind lives. It is between life and your spiritual self. It is the closest thing to you. Google truthcontest to find out the truth of life.
I'm Not A Rocket Scientist Or Anything But I Think This Song Is About A Girl
Even if that wasn’t the name of the song it’s pretty easy to figure out
Genius
Nah man it can't be. What makes you think that?
Eh I’m not so sure maybe it’s About a guy?
@@LilChay Yeah me too.
The rythem of Kurts songs are phenomenal.
Lol it’s copied from The cure M
@j3 80 4 years ago btw, you really think he or she'll respond xD?
Rhythm
Yeahs.
Rhythm kills
Can we trade someone to bring back Kurt ??
I volunteer as tribute!!
I volunteer this guy ⬆️
JEPIETE 6ix9ine trade him
Courtney Love
What about every autotune user for Chester, Dave and Kurt?

Oh, WOW, you must've read SO many Kurt biographies in the late 90s.
Kurt will live forever. Because, even 26 years after his death, there are millions of people who listen to his songs, his legacy. Worldwide. I am proof of that. I live in Siberia, on the shores of the world's largest freshwater lake Baikal, and I still enjoy Kurt's music and voice.

I can never get enough of them. They’re just something beyond. And they’ll live forever 🤟

Im curious, what happened ?
How’d it go?
RIP Legend...
Legends never die
A legend ? Because he killed himself?
A legend because his music
UAC Clearly you don't know anyone who suffers/suffered from depression, or you wouldn't make such a thoughtless comment. Wow.
asdfjkrach Yea we can definitely tell you're super mature. Someone doesn't get big kid jokes.
you know this video is old when it says "give a rating"
Luke Eilers 2011
That would be at least one third of their entire discography.
you know this video is _very_ old when this comment is from 5 years ago
I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE
CARE IF ITS OLD
Lol the star ratings
This song sounds amazing whether its unplugged or plugged in! R.I.P. Kurt
This song helps when getting over a break up
This song helps me when im gunna kill myself cause i cant get a gf
dafuq
EliteMaster64 why on earth would anyone kill themselves over not having a girlfriend? Look I don't mean to minimise your problems (assuming you're serious) but honestly.. Over not having a girlfriend?? Really?
Tamar Mack ye
Tamar Mack and EliteMaster64 i never said i was gonna kill myself.
probably one of my favorite nirvana songs
r.i.p. Kurt Cobain, You are a rock legend
Grunge*
+Kayla Barrett grunge is a sub genre of punk rock lmao
+8bitvortex but it's still grunge
+Kayla Barrett but overall, its rock music geez
sooooooooooo true!!!
a girl that can name over 15 nirvana songs is my type of girl
right.....guy*
same here
Tbh nowadays it's gotten to the point where if a girl wearing a Nirvana shirt can name one or two of their songs, then I'll be surprised.
I can name 20 songs if you want me to. Date me.
"I can date me" was Goose's original comment
"Cough cough" nirvana is life
jesus christ, i always thought he said "I need a lizard friend." oof
Lol the songs about a prostitute....... A lizard prostitute
I thought it said lizard prayer 😂
definitely not about a prostitute... let's say a polygamous girl
your not alone 😂😂😂
Adrienne Haught lol
Nirvana, one of the greatest of all time.
is the greatest of all time*
@@N1RVANAAA U can literally hear John Lennon in Kurt's voice. Stfu
I wish music was still like this !
want to be my baby mamma i got 7 inches
It is ... it's just not popular anymore. Want a suggestion? Try the bands "The Last Drive" and "Nightstalker" for two examples.

Thank You, mr/mrs The3Logon.
Some of us love Nirvana forever!
thank you, man :)
This is my favorite Nirvana Song, because there is something to it that it is so meaningful and that is the way Kurt sang it. I felt that he meant every word of this song.
I love this song. My dad and my uncle used to play thus song with their drums and guitar.
I got into a car crash 2 days ago to this song. Still love it ;)
0:15 "I need a lizard friend"
90's kids are rejoicing everytime a cool grunge song gets a like *rejoices*
wait it says i do pickup number 2 is he at the mc donalds drive thru?
I was amazed to finally see someone else compare this to a Beatles tune. I always thought Kurt sounded like John Lennon.
It's was my favourite song when I was like 6.
LOL
You were allowed to listen to them at that age?
Kurt 😞 infelizmente perdemos algo tão precioso ...
"I'm standing in your line i do hope you have the time i do pick a number too" reminds me of relationship i was in where there was lack of communication
Anyone here in 2024?
Always lol
Me
Meeee
Me
Yesss serr
First line: I need a lizard prayer
Never able to unhear
I think he said a lizard friend
I'm the lizard King. I can do anything
it's about rape
it is fr
janelle s f
Fue el primer tema que toque en la batería. Sin antes haber agarrado una.
Cómo olvidarla...
so kurt what's the song about
kurt: it's about a girl
Every great song has about the same three cord progression. LOVE IT!
r.i.p Kurt ❤
I’m here. Forever here. So much they be getting jealous. Thanks for including
Lol I used to think he would say "I'll hit you with this shoe"
Lol!
One of the first riffs I ever learned completely gosh I love this song so fucking much I never knew how much nirvana rocked the fucking world gosh we miss u Kurt. Legends never die!!!!!
the song that made me fall in love with nirvana

Dude I always heard that Kurt was a Beatles fan and you can definitely hear that Beatles charm in the chorus of this song. Kurt just gave it more of an edge. Funny after all these years I just realized this listening closely lol.
for all the people saying this sounds like the beatles its because kurt listened to about the beatles the whole day then wrote this
i think nirvana its the best i love how he signs when im sad i always like to hear his music it just makes me feel better I LOVE THEM KURT COBAIN!!!!
A random song to pop in my head... I still call it "I Do", though.
Me too!
That dedication... cool 😁😄💜
around 1:35 it starts sounding like jesus of suburbia,by green day, i just realized that
Mari in Wonderland true
Love this song omfg
This song would rip my soul to shreds back in 1998....
Kurt died in 1994... so like, you were a little behind.
@@dustinmurrell9925 I'm from Ukraine and Nirvana was little known here 'til 1996 or so, we were a bit behind indeed, everything came here later. So nice of you to point it out, thanks a lot :-/
Yup I was alive when Kurt was but I didn't get into Nirvana till a few years later, glad I did!
@@charleshamilton9593 I wish I was alive to experience them :(
I was born 1995.
Definitely my favorite nirvana song
Wasn’t this actually their first big hit ?
I love this song. I discovered it on guitar hero and ever since, I have listened to it.
Awesome your the best curt
2019 and still listening
Popped into my head today and had to see if i heard him right. 'But i cant see u every night free
Nice catchy song.
anybody else listening from the love letters to the dead playlist? just me? okay.
more like just the two of us lol
holy shit i have that book.
Jazmine Danielle me
just jazz I fucking love that book!!
awesome love this song iv looked for this song for a cupple years anf finaly found it
This one seems to be in the style of The Beatles..
+Robert McGee i should have know better
Supposedly he had been listening to "With The Beatles" when writing this song, so that would make sense.
One of Nirvana's inspirations were the Beatles. So maybe that's why.
Robert McGee right
Yes and Kurt did it better than the Gallagher brothers.
Tank u Jannis , the freakiest Nirvana fan We know !
All time best love song
First line: I need a lizard prayer
Never able to unhear
It's was my favourite song when I was like 6.
does youtube have a "repeat" button for a masterpiece like this i fucking need one
it does now, pal
On a computer it has loop for repeating same songs but im also trying to figure out how to repeat songs on tv & cell
My favorite song by them :)
Honestly Americans are lucky!
The FactTV Hey man everyone is an American
Why
I am Brasileiro,and is true...you've many luck
@@soddenman can confirm, am an american
What makes you say this I’m curious!?
I confessed my love with this song
To an easy friend with an ear to lend?
Acho que foi a segunda música que escutei do Nirvana. Já fazem 9 anos e ainda gosto dela.
11 anos agora
It's a man. Not a woman..
You said you still like 'her"..
Love it. RIP Kurt...
I also hate when people screw them up and add extra words that aren't even there listen closely to what Kurt is saying
Listening to his voice in this song is so different and just amazing
watching in 2014 :)
now watching in 2015 :D
watching 2015
calum brooks Watching in 1813 :)
PJ Barreto you are un the future man
Whatever,nobody care..Good music will always find fans
RIP Kurt. Thank you for your inspiration
There's a huge Beatles influence in about a girl
Still listening and waiting for music like this to find its way back to the creative front
Anyone watching from 1776
9 year old Kurt who didn't even hold a guitar: 👁👄👁
People should know that Nirvana heavy coppied Azra, amazing and beloved Croatian/Yugoslavian band from early 80's. Chris Novoselic spent some time in Zadar back then when he heard Azra for the first time. A years later, he incorporated the sound and style in Nirvana music. About a girl is Poljubi me.
Looks like someone had harsh time while he was trying to love a girl.........
❤❤❤❤❤
In the intro I always thought he said "I need a lizard friend"
Same
I slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night. I woke up and thought this song is About a Girl !

This Is My Toking Song... This Song Can Represent So Many Different Things ... I Just Love All Of Nirvana's Music...
NIRVANA !!!!!!
I'll be playing this on my guitar... might post it!!!
I know you can't really hear it but the lyrics are 'I can't see you every night FOR free'
Still with us legend ❤️
This song is so much better on mtv unplugged
This has to be my favorite of nirvanas songs, Smells like teen spirit is overplayed
Wasn't this their first big hit?
Yes it is
Nirvana marathon 🤘🏽
I think I prefer the version from their MTV Unplugged in New York album.
I think live at reading was better personality
same here
+Eazy- E ur ALIVE.....maybe Kurt may live again if u came back from the dead then Kurt can too u give me hope Eazy
+Joseph Ruiz frankly it takes time for that to happen but hopefully it will happen.
+Eazy- E it WILL happen....heyy how exactly did u come back to life?
My favorite nirvana song
Le cante esta cancion a una chava y me siguio 3 horas apuntandome con una escopeta por mi ciudad.
Nod Awuita de Jamaica
I just learned to play this tonight.. of not nearly as well as Kurt but that's to be expected. ((:
