    Since you gave Polly a MID and didn’t understand the song, I’m gonna explain for you. Polly’s easily the darkest song on this album. I’m gonna explain the story of this song. It’s pretty long, and scary.
    Polly is a song about the kidnapping of a girl in 1987, written from the perspective of the kidnapper. So some backstory. In 1987, there was this 14 year old girl who’s name wasn’t found yet, go to a rock concert. She didn’t find a way home though. So the kidnapper named Gerald Arthur Friend,(ironic last name I know) threatened her at knifepoint to go with her. Gerald took the girl to her house and repeatedly raped and tortured her. Like in the most inhumane ways possible. Burning her with a blowtorch for example. The lyrics give description of that with a play on the phrase “Polly wants a cracker.” Lyrics like “I think she wants some water, to put out the blowtorch.” Demonstrate the terrible things that happened to this girl. In the perspective of the rapist. “Let me clip dirty wings” This means Gerald also cut some parts of her body. Horrible.
    Now you might be asking, did the girl escape? Fortunately, yes she did. When she was in a car when Gerald was taking her for a ride, she was able to escape the car, and her friends came over to save her. Truly upsetting stuff. It’s easily one of the darkest songs I’ve ever heard and that’s why I’d give it a Diamond.
    EDIT: also yes the kidnapper was sent to prison for 150 years. Honestly I think he should’ve been killed in the most inhumane ways ever like being set on fire. Like the victim.

    You gotta understand the context of this coming out in 1991. It’s rock but it was a completely new sound. This album effectively ended 80s cheese and opened the door for 90s music.
    The alternative era of the 90s was a time where rock bands could enter the mainstream and still be experimental, weird and real, and Nevermind opened the door for all of it. It’s the line between classic and modern rock.

    You have to understand, that slow songs are an essential part of an album so the listener can catch a break between all the hard-hitting songs. Songs like Polly, Lithium, and Something in the Way are some of my favorite Nirvana songs ever. Try to understand the lyrics and the meaning behind them so that you will not underestimate their impact on the discography.

    Something in the Way was the last song on the album, if you have ever listened to vinyl, that's what most artists do, play it out on a melancholy low. That's why Polly ended side one, so you are ready for side two. Endless, Nameless was never part of Nevermind, it's an add on for the CD, probably to make more people buy it. Remember that baby chasing a dollar on the front cover?

    • @miggy78
      @miggy78 7 месяцев назад +1

      @Paul_Bond…like the last commenter said. Endless Nameless just happened n the studio. When Nevermind came out. The 1st 50k copies had”Endless Nameless”. But in re-pressings due to popular demand (yup, they unseated Micheal Jackson from the #1 Billboard spot.) it was left out. And some people returned it bc it didn’t have a that track….so its the total opposite of what you suggested. Its also a throw back to a prank Kurt used to do with an old roommate. Where they’d be asleep Kurt would tape voices at the end a Cassette and play it. 30 min later after 30 min of silence. The voices that Kurt had recorded would sound…and his friend would freak out and wake up….lol. So Endless Nameless started a trend (trending is all Nirvana did once Never mind was released) in rock albums at Time. Where bands would have secrets songs at the end of their albums…lol
