Miss the 90s, young kids who listen to this, try to understand we were teenagers when Kurt was around, we loved him deeply. We are now around 40 to 45, and still are on a plane and can’t complaint.
@@Biggiecheese724 me kinda too, but actually not. I couldn't be how I really am if I was born in the 90s. Today I can, but there are enough people complaining bout how I am
my mom was born in 1984, she grew up in late 80s and the early 90s, i wish i experienced what living in the 90s is like. i wasn't born when kurt was around, and my older sister was born back in late 2004, but man, time does fly fast. it feels like 2017 was 10 seconds ago. but now everything is plain trash. the music nowdays SUCK. 90s was probally the best Decade to live in in humanity, and the 20s are really the worst time to grow up. even though the 90s were only about 30 years ago, it is one of the best eras. i was also a big 00s kid even though i was born early 2010.
And now I know what he meant by on a plain, like the open plains. we’re living in a virtual reality realm, that’s one big extended plain, no ball here and Kurt knew.
He was just a hick from Aberdeen.If all you did all day for years was smoke dope and study music you'd make a badass record too. Courtney was a legit gangster and she got that shit! Kurdt was too backwoods to see it coming.
If I got the chance to get back someone from the death. No any choices I'll get you back Kurt. And I wish to will have chance one day. You're legend in my music world
Kurt Cobain would take one look at the state of the music industry right now and kill himself all over again. May sound controversial or sick but I'm right.
Heroine is awesome? Tell that to Sid Vicious, Jim Morrison, River Phoenix, and Janis Joplin, all of whom died either from an overdose of heroin or at least had it contribute to their deaths.
awefulant my mother died every night ..meaning the replenish of the earth to a new day( when the sun rises again) mother = earth.. ancients believed the set would win the battle at night and Horeus would win in again for the morning..I love myself better then you= we rather disrespect earth for our own reasons and evils..Heroin wasn’t the main part of his damn life people! I know they love to make that who he was as it promoted heroin for generation x and lead to the epidemic that was PLANNED! We live in a fuct up world..many still sleeping..music is always Subconscious telling you something after you can get your own head out of your ass..
I think what he means is she would OD on herion. My father has died pribably 10 or more times from 2 years of use, he is still alive but nevertheless me and my brother would have to save him, so
I am so happy that this generation can hear KC and see his mastery, but I lived it. Doc martins, ripped jeans, screw society. I am sincerely blessed to say I saw Nirvana debut on MTV, when of course they played music. Nothing like Nirvana has come along since. Many before, but not since. And if someone says Taylor or Bieber or Drake, I will go postal and kill myself. The 90s gave us some great music, not only Nirvana. 2000 hit and it all stopped.
I get it, you lived in a different generation, but you don't have to keep bragging to the young generations on how lucky you are, it's a sign that your just old, but also 90s wasn't so long ago. "And if someone says Taylor or Bieber or Drake, I will go postal and kill myself" -KFJ 1979chick That quote hardly even makes sense, but it still doesn't fail to make me laugh!

for all those people "I knew it he believed Earth's flat!" no..that's not what (I'm on a plain) means. He meant he's on a field, flat field, Earth is ball shaped (obviously) but when you walk physically it's plain, You're on a flat field, so that's what it means, just wanna clear that out for those people who are wrong

Of the many things I can take from this great song and recording is how well Kurt and Dave's voices blended. Listen to the end when you can only hear the chorus harmony. It also shined on In Bloom (chorus), and Come As You Are (don't have a gun). I can't help but feel like some of In Utero could've used Dave's voice (all of the harmonies on that album were Kurt). I think Kurt didn't want things sounding as clean and "poppy" so there you go. This is from a guy whose favorite Nirvana album is probably Incesticide, although not a proper album. I've just rarely heard two voices blend so pristinely.
This sounds good, but a lot of it sounds double-tracked. It sounds throwaway. Cobain sounds exhausted but also excited? Is that Dave Grohl singing with him? The southwest doesn’t look that good.
As careless as it sounds it is quite the genius depiction of life on the plane and the defense/offense mechanisms of seeking sustenance. That’s life folks. Free for all. DTA
I was 17 when all this went down ,,,after seeing the teen spirit video on head bangers ball ,I went to school and ask around if anyone else seen the new nirvana video ,,,,and they where like Nirvana Who?
Nirvana's lyrics are just awesome. The message boils down to: 1-This is what you are deep down, 2- It's disgusting, 3- I'm not different! Feels like saying: Stop pretending our civilization doesn't suck, we should be doing better.
Nevermind is on par with albums like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Mood or The Beatles' Abbey Road in that you have to start at track one and listen all the way through to get the full experience. There is no skipping. Every song just builds up to the next and none of them are bad. It truly is one of those rare perfect albums!
Not really, he didn't care much about lyrics, that's why so many are nonsensical. Only a person who was themselves a sociopath, would try to put their psychotic thoughts onto him.
+Jonathan Blaze Kurt's lyrics are indeed vague and interpretive. as is the subjectivity of art, but he did put quite a bit of effort into writing them. Research him thoroughly. I also suggest you learn the difference between psychosis and psychopathy, as the latter doesn't ensue the former. "The finest day that I ever had was when I learned to cry on command,"(manipulation and facades), "My mother died every night," (maternal neglect is often pinned to mental illness), not to mention "LOVE MYSELF BETTER THAN YOU, I KNOW IT'S WRONG SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?" Narcissism in a nutshell.
if you call Kurt a sociopath, than what do you call Jim Morrison? The lyrics Kurt wrote were ment to suit everyone, that's why he put effort in writeing them because he wanted them to be interpretive so anyone cand find himself in them
Beatrix Konyves I'm not calling Kurt a sociopath, you dipshit. Poetry, art in general can be created from the perspective of different people. Just because he says "I" doesn't mean he is talking about himself.
For some reason, when I listen to this it makes me want to cry. Sometimes it does. I know the meaning has nothing to do with what I'm saying, but still lmao- I guess it's cause when I was crying one day and listened to this, it made me feel better. It's weird but it makes this song feel really special to me
Love Nirvana, but it's just pathetic how so many post-grunge guitarists get lazy and don't even attempt to do anything different. Makes for a very boring rock scene. Maybe that's why the rock scene struggles to stay relevant.
Shen Jamyn he did heroin and made songs about it. The song dances around the subject, but never addresses it: probably so idiots can fill in the blanks and feel happy with their beliefs.
^This is called the iceberg effect, and it's not for idiots. It's purposefully ambiguous and open for interpretation, because it means something different to everyone.
Kurt knew that it would sound like gibberish to most, but, for those of us that "have the ears to hear" his message, we get it! "Plateau" is another one, because, they are also flat, lol
Shen Jamyn actually in the 90s there weren’t idiots who believed in this fucked up “flat earth” shit, ever since the birth of internet these idiots have somehow got a voice, and dickheads jump on the bandwagon
Long time Nirvana fan, but I had a long absence. I had the idea that I would really dig in to the lyrics and rediscover them. Then Kurt goes "These lyrics don't make any sense" and suddenly it all made sense. Thanks Kurt
Bored and Generic Yup, the tapping of the vein and flickering of a lighter beforehand says it all. I personally believe in the Flat Earth Theory but I shot dope for 8 years. It's very obvious this is a drug/IVing type song!
I believe the person that disliked this did it because you messed up in the most obvious easiest and repeated part off the song: I love myself better THAN you.... no "better THEN you", that doesn't make any sense
I don't know if anyone has proposed this but I always though this song was about the internal struggle of trying to justify dumping someone for being bad in bed.
I mean damn, can you really blame that baby for wanting to sue? Like, hell, if I was in the cover of the greatest album to ever drop on the face of the Earth I'd probably want to have a cut of that earning too. Not even gonna lie.
Got so high scratched til I bled. As a struggling heroin addict it’s harsh to not feel these lyric now at a time in my life where I’m in between trying to find the strength to push on or eat a bullet. Rip Kurt

One of his most underrated songs
My ringtone :D Now no matter who calls me, the first thing I hear is "Love myself better than you!"
SERJ TANKIAN
I interpret the lyrics as what’s running through a serial killer’s head as he is taking a life.
Besides Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Lithium, and Come As You Are, the rest of the songs are much closer to punk rock.
John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt Kurt actually listened to punk rock when he was a teenager
Kurt was very inspired by the Pixies. They're not punk, but you can tell they left their mark on Kurt Cobain.
Kurt really knew how to write simple catchy songs with really cool lyrics.
First little intro riff sounds like the riff from a track on the 70s war of the world album i. m. h. o.
Funny you say that since the point of this song is that the lyrics are nonsense.

I know the meaning has nothing to do with what I'm saying, but still lmao- I guess it's cause when I was crying one day and listened to this, it made me feel better. It's weird but it makes this song feel really special to me
One of my favorite nirvana songs and I'm still listening in 2021!
The Earth is Flat! I can't complain, because complaints are prayers for the devil!
It is hard when you have a child that feels this way....Doesn't even talk to ya and you don't even know what ya did?
if you dont know what you did then you werent paying attention God bless you
how's the kid nowadays?
Love Nirvana, but it's just pathetic how so many post-grunge guitarists get lazy and don't even attempt to do anything different. Makes for a very boring rock scene. Maybe that's why the rock scene struggles to stay relevant.
kurt loves his flat earth
Shen Jamyn he did heroin and made songs about it. The song dances around the subject, but never addresses it: probably so idiots can fill in the blanks and feel happy with their beliefs.
^This is called the iceberg effect, and it's not for idiots. It's purposefully ambiguous and open for interpretation, because it means something different to everyone.
Kurt knew that it would sound like gibberish to most, but, for those of us that "have the ears to hear" his message, we get it! "Plateau" is another one, because, they are also flat, lol
Dope lives on.
Shen Jamyn actually in the 90s there weren’t idiots who believed in this fucked up “flat earth” shit, ever since the birth of internet these idiots have somehow got a voice, and dickheads jump on the bandwagon
Long time Nirvana fan, but I had a long absence. I had the idea that I would really dig in to the lyrics and rediscover them. Then Kurt goes "These lyrics don't make any sense" and suddenly it all made sense.
Thanks Kurt
The finest day that i've ever had was when i learned to cry on command..

I understand him clearly. I''m on a plane, I can't complain....
So in the description it's wrong this is not the album on a plane this is the album nevermind
It's 2019, Nirvana never gets old.
So when you guys see the word 'plain' on the screen, do you immediately think 'peanut'?
This song is about flat Earth. plain
Really? God help us
i heard this song before flat earth .now i come back thinking about it and saw your coment
It's about heroin use
Bored and Generic Yup, the tapping of the vein and flickering of a lighter beforehand says it all. I personally believe in the Flat Earth Theory but I shot dope for 8 years. It's very obvious this is a drug/IVing type song!
Josh Yettou well it's cool that your not trying to shove that theory in everyone's face
Nirvana rules, so....I CANT COMPLAIN!!
Soaked In Bleech👌👌
I believe the person that disliked this did it because you messed up in the most obvious easiest and repeated part off the song:
I love myself better THAN you.... no "better THEN you", that doesn't make any sense
Better then? ha
I love myself better than you...,
best moment i ever had was when on a airplane i asked my brother how he is and says im on a plain i cant complain
This is about heroine, isn't it?
This sounds sightly simalar to "Dumb"
I don't know if anyone has proposed this but I always though this song was about the internal struggle of trying to justify dumping someone for being bad in bed.
*RIP Kurt*
Yes
I love myself better than u
*~Kurt D Cobain 1991*
it should be than you
I mean damn, can you really blame that baby for wanting to sue?
Like, hell, if I was in the cover of the greatest album to ever drop on the face of the Earth I'd probably want to have a cut of that earning too. Not even gonna lie.
flat earth
Got so high scratched til I bled. As a struggling heroin addict it’s harsh to not feel these lyric now at a time in my life where I’m in between trying to find the strength to push on or eat a bullet. Rip Kurt
same dude, same...
Right here with ya..
