Kurt got the idea for this song after what he had read in the newspaper about a mother who kept her kids locked in the basement or maybe it was the attic.. And it's "at my feeding time" not "when I'm feeling tired"
+The POSTAL Dude its when my feeding time. The context that proceeds after that sentence fits better as well. If you listen without reading youll hear it.
for those who dont know this song is about two of Kurt's friends from Aberdeen who were abused by their parents and kept locked in an attic of their house .. Kurt wrote the song when he read about them being found and rescued in the newspaper
@@davidvasquez8658it is a bit inaccurate, the song is based on the article from the newspaper which Kurt read. This happened in Kurt's hometown Aberdeen. Some kids were kidnapped and locked in the basement by a young couple. They were mocked, abused, and forced to use newspapers as a toilet (the song lyrics «Newspapers spread around, soaking all that they can» refer to it) ect.
+Nate Thomas i dont buy that. i think its evident nirvana set out to make music, Not money...crappy decisions that money forces you to make turns your soul inside out. possibly what kurt went through. Goes to show, money blows. :/
Those lines of lyrics, "The lady whom I feel maternal love" part really sticks with me. Considering how lonely and isolated I am. The dread in his voice just nails it.
The raw emotion is so incredibly... phenomenal. I was blown away the first time i heard the song, he sounds so truthfully... tortured. It's so powerful and I ABSOLUTELY love it
Kurt left his child mentally fucked, what if you were growing up and all that you would hear about from your late father that he killed himself and he was in a successful band. That would be hell
Newspapers spread around Soaking all they can A cleaning is due again A good hosing down! Black windows of paint I scratch with my nails I see others just like me Why do they not try to escape
Now that you point it out... a couple of the riffs sound like 'seasons in the abyss' by slayer. Power chords with tritones and b9 stuff going on. The really crusty eq high-mids guitar tone is similar also (lots of metal is scooped high bass high treble low mids, the opposite). I never really thought of relating slayer to nirvana before.
Molly Parker, I meant that no matter what song of Nirvana's that I listen to, it always brings back nostalgia, happiness, and feelings. Kurt lives on. That's what I was trying to say. I would obviously know that Kurt died 21 years ago, hence the fact that I'm a big fan.
And for the record, time is figurative. When I say "Nirvana never ceases to amaze (me)", I am implying that every time I listen to a Nirvana song, I always love it the same. I never lose interest in Nirvana songs. Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic left this world a huge impact with their music. It's that simple. Time was *invented* by humans, and music has no expiration date. So your argument is invalid.
Justmiss jamey They got high together before and when Kurt died, Courtney Love was trying to get hold of Layne to ask about Kurt's death. Layne ignored Courtney Love. I guess they were friends.
I read the Alice in chains book in rehab. The actual book title evades my memory, but, it made mention of a time that layne and Kurt showed up to the same basement to score once, somewhere, sometime. To be a fly on the wall, man...
Yeah, when Kurt and the band were trying to get famous they gave themselves a temporary name "Ted Ed Fred" but after writing this song, they all agreed that Nirvana sounded oh so better.
This song is, in fact, about a mother who locked her child in a basement or attic around the time this was composed. The first lyric is "when it's my feeding time" and then implies that they rarely get fed, they have to go to the bathroom on newspapers (that's what the next part is about) and the "black windows of paint, I scratch with my nails, i see others like me, why do they not try to escape" is referring to how the windows would be painted black so no one could see the starving child inside and the child sees normal kids outside. Then the lyrics after that tells about how the police come and find him/her and lock his/her family up. In short this is about a child being abused, starved, and isolated by his/her mother.
Nirvana's finest moment of dark, brutal, sludgy beauty. Poetic and heavy as fuck. I got Bleach the day it came out, and the lyrics to Paper Cut still break my heart, but it's one of my favorite songs of all time.
Throughout 1:08-2:58, the way Kurt harmonizes with his words scares me. It sounds like a ritual of some sort, but yet again. Those are my favorite parts as well.
Kurt Cobain, was a musical genius, and I have to agree, his depression made his music what it is. His music has this twisted beauty that you can't find anywhere else. Kurt Cobain had the surreal realism (I know that sort of countradicts itself but it is the only way I can describe it) gained only from depresssion, he had the beautiful vision, and he had the voice. Kurt Cobain is the kind of thing that only comes once in a life time. But I agree, don't refer to Kurt Cobain like you know him.
Nope. There's only 1 year of difference between them, plus Bleach was release on 1989, so they're basically from the same year. Also, Manson has this kind of sound in most of his songs and this is the only Nirvana song that sounds like that.
Gigers27 They started in 1985-86...Bleach wasn’t their first album -.- Bleach is when they started to become mainstream and all the teeny boppers started coming around and ruined true Seattle underground grunge for us like The Melvins, Bikini Kill...etc. Big part of the reason Kurt lost interest in the industry..too many wannabes and his biggest fear was turning pop.
Fun fact: Kurt Cobain wrote this song about a boy he went to school with. The boy was kept in a closet :/... Oh, and the first chorus is his feelings towards his mother...
Part of the lyrics are based on a true story of a family that Kurt was acquainted with, who locked their children in a room.Other lyrics have to deal with parents, and neglect.
Its actually abused children, not dogs, but I can see why you would think that. The imagery Kurt uses is similar to that of a dog, probably to symbolize how the family, which actually existed, saw their own children like animals. Deep stuff
+Grunge Unicorn are you sure? Cause kurt was shunned by his parents because he spent his free time drawing and writing songs instead of what a typical kid would do in his age is to go outside and play. They locked him up and he was battered emotionally and experienced depression, trauma and so on. These lyrics sure seems alike for it to be just a "news article" and every lyric breakdown of paper cut displays it as his own child experience of abuse.
I'm only 11 and nirvana is teh best, all the kidz in my class make fun of me 4 not liking miley cyrus and jb lol but i defend my music lololol such good taste
I like Nirvana because they sound good and take me away from reality. Not because of age or because I wanna feel special. I just like them because I like them. many teenagers today really love wearing nirvana shirts and saying "today's music is terrible" while they also listen to 5sos and fob and bmth and wtf ever. It's very depressing honestly.
You can hear Kurts confusion and pain. In his voice, through his words. There is simply nothing like this anymore.
That is very true. Music like this can only be copied, never recreated.
+Cloe Jacques you're subscribed to fucking Justin Bieber... Literally an insult in of itself
+Mav3rickFFA hahahaha
True
Wait for another great depression like the 90's.
I really love his screams
andy me too
Don't we all...😉

The way he sings "Nirvana" with that killer guitar in the background sends shivers down my spine.

free bleach oh thanks for breaking my spirit, means so much to me

I listen to nirvana and then i stop for a while and then i come back and it is so refreshing
fr though!

Yep, I don't even remember some songs until I listen them again
this song is so eerie. the combination of the lyrics, vocals and instruments make it so scary. but it's still terrific :)))

There is some Slayer in this song

why is every nirvana song effen good. .
so true
My favorite is Mexican Seafood
Because Kurt and the band were passionate and didnt give a rats ass about money, unlike todays "artist"
Just an average Savage ehh wouldn't say that in 93 kurt signed a contract wanting to get 80 or 90% royalties and leave dave and krist only 10%

One of the best songs of the 90's, also one of the best bands of the 90's, maybe of all time
The song came out in '89 though.
Matty Matt lel
Came out in 89
Simon Gonzalez was released in ‘89
this song came out in the 80s .. its from Bleach which came out in 1989 ...
poser
"im 13 and i love nirvana" we don't care that you are 13.
angelface99 The person is one of those kids who say stuff like "I was born in the wrong generation", we get it.
Only if you’re 18...
angelface99 ur 15 now lol
no. Oneslee we don't care you
You don't care that the young generation likes good music? Then you are what's wrong with music. Also elitist as hell.
Paper Cuts seems like a really good band. I'm definitely going to listen to more of their songs.

Nah, Maynard James Keenan is by far the most amazing
Don't forget Layne

What about Meg White?
@@Simplicity070 and left you alone with Courtney love
Rock on Nirvana. This definitely has to be one of my favorites. You can just feel the song, you know? Yeah.
Yeah man, it's pure emotion...
The way he makes the guitar "cry" is just so good. Damn.
I think of this song from the perspective of an animal at a pet store. Idk
omg
Think Kafka's Metamorphosis.

The guitar in this sounds like something slayer would do
Now that you point it out... a couple of the riffs sound like 'seasons in the abyss' by slayer. Power chords with tritones and b9 stuff going on. The really crusty eq high-mids guitar tone is similar also (lots of metal is scooped high bass high treble low mids, the opposite). I never really thought of relating slayer to nirvana before.
A doom/sludge metal influence is obvious in this song.
It kinda sounds like Alice In Chains in some parts.
Two of one of my favorite bands of all time together
No Alice in chains sounds like them.. k
+Maverick Tsuss didn't mean it literally... Jfc get over yourself we obviously know that they were in different time periods.
Yeah this song and Alice in chains song angry chair have similarities
Yup, they have their similarities but Nirvana felt way more grungy.
"my whole existence is for your amusement, and thats why im here with you" best fucking line
Kurt say 'Nirvana' and im done:'v
Same
mase

smea
Esam
I forgot how amazing Kurt was. Just pure raw emotions 🙌
one of their best songs ever (:
It is nice to now that people still listen to Nirvana... You people are the real MVP's \(^-^)/
Of course! I personally prefer this older stuff to nevermind, but I like nevermind too :P
jaytang79 me too
Oh my god, this song is incredible!!! Nirvana never ceases to amaze.

sounds almost metal holy crap
yeah it does aren't they punk rock?
+Farhan Mckinnons grunge
with sludge and noise elements sometimes
KING MIKO 😂
actually its metal. bleach album is metal
I love that noise
I SAID SO
NIRVANA!
NIRVANA
NIRVANA
NIRVANA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like how Kurt sounds like he's losing energy when he says "Nirvana, nirvana, nirvana" and he's almost screaming on the lines before those Nirvana's.
this song is fucking amazing!!!
Nirvana goes black metal
the comments are killing the vibe.
Think these comments are bad, go over to the lake of fire video. Troll party over there.
Paper Cuts is definitely my favorite Bleach song, and top 10 Nirvana overall
such a calming disturbance ;)♥
Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley would of made amazing songs together
Have to admit, that would be an amazing duo
I read or heard somwhere at some points, they had the same dealer..so they kinda knew each other
Justmiss jamey They got high together before and when Kurt died, Courtney Love was trying to get hold of Layne to ask about Kurt's death. Layne ignored Courtney Love. I guess they were friends.
There's a picture of Layne and Kurt. It's sad to know that one outlasted the other only for the one who lived longer died too
I read the Alice in chains book in rehab. The actual book title evades my memory, but, it made mention of a time that layne and Kurt showed up to the same basement to score once, somewhere, sometime. To be a fly on the wall, man...
Yeah, when Kurt and the band were trying to get famous they gave themselves a temporary name "Ted Ed Fred" but after writing this song, they all agreed that Nirvana sounded oh so better.
actually it was bliss!!!!!!! and i love the song laminated effect from fecal matter there demo in 1985
As soon as Kurt said “Door” I was hooked.
This is definitely one of their best early songs!! So raw, love it!!
This song is, in fact, about a mother who locked her child in a basement or attic around the time this was composed.

Imagine what they nirvana would of made from new newspapers like columbine etc
My mom showed this album to me and it's one of my faves now
playing so loud it hurts my head.....can think of no better way to spend my day waiting for 9th grade to start.....O.o
9th grade? Wish my little sister listened to this. She's into mainstream rap. Fuck.
Rock on little girl
Seven years ago...
Always loved this song! It has Alice in Chains sound to it!!
This album came out before AIC debut album, so its AIC sounds like them.
Definitely
@@vicrattlehead6386AIC had a demo in 1987, Nirvana was formed that year. Nirvana’s first demo was 1988.
This is probably my favorite Nirvana song.
the wordplay at 1:16 is really smart
Hello! I’m a 22 week old fetus and I love nirvana! Smells like teen spirit, am I right?
I think papar cuts is one of the most personal songs of kurt after sliver and serve the servants who knows xd

Sounds a lot like Manson's style combined with Alice In Chains :3
