Just imagine it: the member of your favourite band, the girl in honour of whom you named your only daughter, covered one of your songs! He would be really proud
@rlcopeti well.... nirvana, you see, covered a great many of their songs, so this is respect payed back. i imagine its slow because its mourning. this is an incredible cover, and like turchino92 said, any real nirvana fan gets why the vaselines would cover a song of theirs, and they would know that slowing it down makes it even more fantastic.
If you really know Nirvana and the Vaselines you'll prob agree this is one of the best covers on this album. It's such a fitting tribute from the Vaselines to Kurt. Beautiful and haunting. i agree that Kurt would have loved this.
I was at the vaselines on Thursday in Ireland! If only the had played this it would have been magical but i think it was a surprise maybe :) im glad they did it though!
People....just because Kurt liked The Vaselines doesn't mean this cover is free from criticism. Even IF he liked it, that doesn't mean you have to. There are plenty of bands Kurt loved that I don't like. I love Nirvana and Kurt Cobain is one of my favorite musicians but his opinions aren't solid in ground. I like the Vaselines. But this is no where near my favorite song on this album.
i love the way they stripped the track to nothing and made it there own, i think nirvana would be honored that the Vaselines paid tribute to them, definitely.
@rlcopeti i wasnt talking about the cobain/stipe album. it was the never recorded 4th album, he was going to go extremely slow. and the Vaselines are rock, this song is this slow probably to mourn their lost friend. but w/e you can have your opinion, i dont really care.
@rlcopeti just cause its slow doesnt make it bad. in fact, kurt said in an interview he wanted his next album to be slow and acoustic, much like rem's automatic for the people. but you are entitled to your opinion.
The Vaselines, is a band from the same era than Nirvana. Nirvana covered some of their songs: Son of a Gun, Jesus Doesnt want me for a Sunbeam and Molly's Lips.
For the people who say they "lost the idea" or "kurt cobain won't like this" there's a reason to why its very different to the original, the same way nirvana covers of the vaselines were fo very different to the original, they just took the song and made their own version of it, hence the term "tribute"
Disregard my previous post, you are correct. I somehow confused Molly's Lips The Vaselines' song Nirvana covered with Nirvana's Lithium. Forgive my ignorance.
Kurt loved the Vaselines. It's them doing the cover, and he named his daughter after the a girl in the band. Yeah, I'm he would've fucking hated their tribute cover to him. Totally. Get educated if you are going to comment on things. Otherwise you sound foolish.
stop compare the covers to the original this covers was meant to be a little different...kurt might have LOVED it cause he could see beyond the vocals and instruments...he could listen to the meaning of the cover-but thats being said its still not the best newermind track or even close but...
@AlperenBirim I know some really cool guy you might like... Hes called Justin Bieber and is an awsome Singer/Songwriter and plays over 5 Instruments! You gotta check him out!
s4i74M Oooooh, not very often do I like being proven wrong (or stupid), but today is good because you've just pointed out an album I had never heard of but would love to. Thx man!
Sorry to say but this is horrible. Although Kurt would of been honored that they covered his song I really don't think he would of liked it either but of course he would of pretended he did.
Just imagine it: the member of your favourite band, the girl in honour of whom you named your only daughter, covered one of your songs! He would be really proud
omg kurt would love this sooo much
I love the mellowness of the piano riff and the "ahhh ahhhh ahhhh "vocals, that's what made me like this song.
I bloody love this! the vaselines + nirvana = magic!
Kurt would have loved this, he'd be rockin' to this in heaven :)
My favorite song of all time. I wish Kurt could hear this..
Awesome composition and arrangement!
thats so cool that kurts favorite group covered his songs, that shows the kind of respect these people had.
@rlcopeti well.... nirvana, you see, covered a great many of their songs, so this is respect payed back. i imagine its slow because its mourning. this is an incredible cover, and like turchino92 said, any real nirvana fan gets why the vaselines would cover a song of theirs, and they would know that slowing it down makes it even more fantastic.
I just love this so much

Very different yet awesome take on the song. Thanks for the upload!
Kurt is the happiest angel right now ! >:] ...He always used to say that the his colaboration with Eugene Kelly was the greatest moment of his life...
this is amazing
i love the way they stripped the track to nothing and made it there own, i think nirvana would be honored that the Vaselines paid tribute to them, definitely.
loved this track. love it.
Any TRUE Nirvana fan knows why seeing the Vaselines cover one of their songs is amazing.
The "I like it I'm not gonna cry" part where they mix their voices is funny.
@rlcopeti i wasnt talking about the cobain/stipe album. it was the never recorded 4th album, he was going to go extremely slow. and the Vaselines are rock, this song is this slow probably to mourn their lost friend. but w/e you can have your opinion, i dont really care.

it has space in it . Good cover .
For the people who say they "lost the idea" or "kurt cobain won't like this" there's a reason to why its very different to the original, the same way nirvana covers of the vaselines were fo very different to the original, they just took the song and made their own version of it, hence the term "tribute"
Gosh, he loved them.
Disregard my previous post, you are correct. I somehow confused Molly's Lips The Vaselines' song Nirvana covered with Nirvana's Lithium. Forgive my ignorance.
Kurt DEFINITELEY would have loved this
@HappilyWithMonotony Well put.
@KradianDiet Don't forget about Daniel Johnston.
i like them all, some similar and others like this very different from the originals, where can i find this cd?
Kurt loved the Vaselines. It's them doing the cover, and he named his daughter after the a girl in the band. Yeah, I'm he would've fucking hated their tribute cover to him. Totally.

Very nice. Huge risk to take but they completely succeeded.
@ArcaneAnders of course it is a cover.. they don't need to copy the original..
while listening to this i feel like crying but in a good way i guess
great cover ,it´s reciprocal ,¨jesus doesn´t want me for a sunbeam¨ nirvana style,,now ¨lithium¨vaselines style
really good!
favorite band ever... after The Beatles
@dizzyisme i doubt it he changed up the lyrics of there songs to make them have an opisite meaning jesus DOESNT want me for a sunbeam
he didn't try to be in the vaselines, he auditioned for the melvins ....
He would have loved this.
finaly! all of the covers this guy has uploaded are amazing!! i really hate those fake, mainstream pieces of shit covering such great songs.
Vaselines have never dissapoint me :)
If it wasn't for Kurt, I wouldn't know this band the vaselines
De acuerdo contigo dizzyisme
una maldita joya
@Nirvaaanaa
You guys just got me sad :(
stop compare the covers to the original this covers was meant to be a little different...kurt might have LOVED it cause he could see beyond the vocals and instruments...he could listen to the meaning of the cover-but thats being said its still not the best newermind track or even close but...
i bet he would've loved it too. i mean.. he definitely liked the vaselines, he/nirvana has covered several of their songs.
@ant0586 Yea... He really would ;(
where are the 'Yeah's? cover fail
+Majoras kurt was a big fan of the vasoline he would have been more than happy to know they did a cover of one of is song the vasoline way
+Majoras the "yeah's" are there, very subtle but they're there if you listen carefully. And to me it was the perfect choice, totally anti-mainstream.
NIRVANA did Lithium as a vaselines cover no the vaselines as a NIRVANA cover
@AlperenBirim I know some really cool guy you might like... Hes called Justin Bieber and is an awsome Singer/Songwriter and plays over 5 Instruments! You gotta check him out!
its okkk really :) you are kind..
sinon excellente chanson :D excellente reprise :D
this makes me sad :/ just the overall tone... but its still a great song
Dign that description "for the first fucking time". Dign the track too!
kurt would of loved this
@cjruckus he's ashes.
It's good and all... but why is almost all the covers so slow?! When i think of Nirvana, i think of thrashing the whole place!
Kurt wrote this song.....
I miss Kurt
Yeah, I know that now, hence my last comment lol.
its so sad... kurt is not here to see this
not what I expected. But good.
snooooooooooooooooooooooooooooreeeeeeeeeeeee...
How can this be a cover, if The Vaselines wrote Lithium originally and Nirvana covered it? Spin should have done their fucking research.
JDuBTheAntiHero this is an original nirvana song bro
JDuBTheAntiHero you got that ass backward the song was by nirvana not the Vaselines
Newermind -_-
だる~い感じが良いね
カバーし合ってるミュージシャンって良いね
ヴァセリンズって良いね
this is definitely a suckle cover more than a vaselines cover
Im not sure if they are trying to hard to sound boring cause it's cool to not care, or if they are just boring and suck.
"Newermind", hahaha, no one proof reads anymore. And before someone says he or she is Scandinavian, trust me, it says 'Nevermind' even on their CD's.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newermind
s4i74M Oooooh, not very often do I like being proven wrong (or stupid), but today is good because you've just pointed out an album I had never heard of but would love to. Thx man!
Really cool , dont do anything illgeal , beware of thr eagle
fucking finally! Somebody who knows that Nirvana wasn't grunge!
Sorry to say but this is horrible. Although Kurt would of been honored that they covered his song I really don't think he would of liked it either but of course he would of pretended he did.
yeah, Nirvana was a lot heavier than grunge. Pearl Jam is grunge. not nirvana.
Yikes lol
its.. kinda booring :3 but cool..
Not bad, but I expected more from Vaselines... actually, I dont like it!
so bad
