Heart Shaped Box was the last song Nirvana ever played live. You Know You’re Right is the last song they ever recorded together. This is the last song (that we know of) Kurt played before he died
@@Boss-cj6zn playing live means playing in front of other people (e.g. at a concert), whereas playing is just playing, whether alone or in front of others.
@@MrLump There was another Nirvana album in the works, though. Some recordings exist from the early sessions and Michael Stipe from R.E.M actually worked on it as a producer. I think you're right to say they wouldn't have lasted, however. We would've at most gotten two more albums before the Foo Fighters became a thing and/or Kurt discontinued the band to make solo music
There are no finished lyrics here. He is still working with vocal sounds and melody. It is haunting because you think you hear things that are not there.
Finally someone talking sense! He played around with different sounds, chances are none of these words would have made it to album ..esp the words 'Do Re Mi' .it was all about a sound
In the song "milk it" the first time he says "doll steak,test meat" it really sounds like he is saying my name and sayin DONT STAYYY, T-MMYYYYY my name is Timmy and I think he was saying my name in the song and there are a lot of erie connections between me and Kurt cobain and on the first tour of in utero he came to Phoenix AZ "where I live" and my dad touched his left foot whilst he was performing on stage the shoes Kurt was wearing were CONVERSE ONE STARS and they are the same shoes he died in which messes with my dad being he touched that left shoe while Kurt wore it and to see him wear them lying dead on the ground messed him up I can go on and on about the weird/strange relationship I had with Kurt without ever meeting him like I said in the first part of the chorus the first time he sings it he sounds like he is saying "don't stay Timmy and when he says Timmy he is not at all saying tesT he just pronounced the T in the song and says meaa but doesn't pronounce the T in meat he is literally saying "don't stay! T- mmyyyy-ya!" It is scary and emotional as fuck I love Nirvana to death and if not true I would like to think he is telling me a message that I won't understand until a time where I'm older it sounds stupid and dramatic what I just said but still lol
@@kevaaalahh9033 I believe it was going to be changed to me and my IV. Courtney has been on record saying that it’s about her asking him to freeze his sperm after Rome
ArchJasiri The Dakotaraptor I get what your saying. It’s kind of an eire vibe knowing he died a few days after this. You can sort of feel/hear the happiness yet the sadness in his voice
This would have been a nice direction for Kurt to explore if he had the chance to. It was nice to hear a more positive sounding song in the major key from him, yet still tinged with his signature melancholy™. That said, I don't think it's as dark as people are saying. It doesn't sound like a last song to me at all, it sounds like a new beginning. Also, I really really don't think these are anywhere close to the final lyrics. It sounds like he's just mumbling to find the syllables and rhythms while he shows the song to Pat. Kurt did that a lot, and a ton of other singers/songwriters do it too. Some good interpretation of various real words and gibberish, but this video should probably come with a disclaimer. Having these lyric guesses on the screen paints the song as some pained epitaph when otherwise it sounds like he was trying to move away from that stuff a bit as an artist. I could be wrong about all this though.
you're totally right imo. there were some real stretches in the lyrics on the video. its borderline manipulative to have dont rape me and cremate me as lyrics in a song where he sings do re mi. silly
Me yesterday to my friend: "You know, there's this nirvana song called do re mi" RUclips today: "I heard you talking. I always hear you. I recommend you listen to the song you were talking about yesterday"
I can send you the studio version of two songs that he told me would be on his next album!! Kurt Cobain is my uncle so I have access to some recordings other people don't have access too!
Before his suicide, Kurt was spending time alone in his home in Seattle for a week. People spotted him walking alone in the parks in face covering clothes so that no one recognizes him. That was the darkest period for him, can't imagine what he was going through at that moment. Rest in peace man
He knew about Courtney sleeping around on him. Kurt was incredibly sensitive to ridicule. Being such a public couple, one wonders whether the public ridicule, embarrassment and shame were just too big for him to live through.
@@lidiaspazzard Courtney absolutely had an influence on his suicide. However she's not the whole picture. The man had other problems bigger than Courtney.
The saddest thing is to realize he still had so much to give, there could’ve been so many great songs that would come out, but we can now only wonder of what it would be like if things turned out differently.
@@bigdawg6308 That was his addiction and depression talking. The guy was an artist and was immensely creative, he had so much music left in him. He was just so fucked up he couldn’t see it at the end.
Дръниел Нестроф yes you know you’re right is the last official recorded song but Do Re Mi was just Kurt playing music and this is the last video of him doing so
I've seen how many people get upset, upset or sad that this song wasn't produced better or didn't appear on a next album for obvious reasons. From my maybe stupid point of view, I feel that this demo itself is perfect. I would have liked it remastered or a final version, but I feel that by itself and for the fact that we can still have the opportunity to listen to it, I appreciate it and I feel that it is perfect as it is.
Qwasz Abwisfd it's not about sensitivity at all, it's about respecting someone's comment dude. No need to be problematic for no reason. You can't know if she has heard much music. In her opinion that's beautiful. Something about the song appeals her, don't ruin it for her. Jesus. The comment was made 1 year ago? What's your business?
this song really feels like the end point for cobain. it feels like pain, joy, acceptance and reality all in one piece. A truly raw one from kurt. I find it chilling to think this is possibly one of the last songs that he ever sang before his death
@@Cairo98_ I always thought that song was about a police confrontation. That would explain the “I don’t have a gun” and the cop asking the subject to “Come as they are”: to surrender. There have been weirder Nirvana song subjects
That "find me out of season" line really hit me. We've all been in that place of self loathing where you are so depressed and hate yourself, don't take care of yourself, think that you are in a state that no one can ever love you in. We think we have to beat depression or addiction in order to be worthy of love, but Kurt is saying "find me out of season", find me when I'm at my worst point and love me when I need it most, when I feel the least worthy of affection.
This is really haunting for a song in the major scale. Also, that picture of him looking depressed in his Smells like Teen Spirit outfit really symbolizes something... you can’t see his face because it’s covered up by a shadow. This shadow is fame. The only thing showing is his hair, the outfit, and his guitar. This symbolizes how the media didn’t care about Kurt as a person, or his individuality, they just cared about how popular he was. To most people and the media, Kurt was just a grunge figure. And this photo shows that.
Nice point of view, but however edited that picture wasn't thinking of that... It just looks cool. Also, the media has always been like this. They admire X artist because of their public figure. They could care less about the actual individual. As soon as you become irrelevant and poor, they forget you. Kurt wasnt the first victim of this.
***** I pulled out the box set and brought disk 3 to work. Needless to say this song was on replay FOREVER. I love the raw recording but could you imagine if they'd been able to do this at the studio? If only....
Beautiful and so sad. People generally think All Apologies was Kurt's goodbye, but I think Do Re Mi was. There's such a bittersweet feeling to it. Like Kurt's accepted all that will be. Melancholic but also triumphant in a way. I look up to Kurt so much as I resonate with him a lot.
I like to say all apologies was kurt apologizing for the o’d in rome, I’m pretty sure Dave grohl told him “don’t die” and that was his apology to the world and Dave
@@starwarssatan5588 I get it It's a phase nirvanas your favorite thing and your probably a edgy serious emo kid don't worry i was there too Don't worry you get older and grow out of it Usually 😂
Everyone always gets the lyrics wrong!! I say down and for two hours listened and rewound until I got the real lyrics: If I'm me, If I'm high. Lay me down weeping. And if I say, what it's like. I might be, dreaming. If I may, what is right. Summertime, see me... heaaal me... Bridge #1: Those years, in his blond head. A phrase, from his pocket. The chain's, from his nowhere life-long dream... Chorus #1: Re Mi Re Mi Well... Do Re Mi Do Re Mi... If I may, and if I might. Wake me up, and see me. If I do, and if I lie. find me out and save me. If I'm red, and cold as ice. I might have, to see me heeal me... Bridge #2: Raised in, his own care. Erased from, this moment. The change from, his sock that I may neeed.. Chorus #2: Re Mi Re Mi Well... Do Re Mi Do Re Mi Do Re Mi Do Re Mi... Wish me good, and wish me life. Find me out, of season. In your way, just be quiet. Follow pain, and be me. Yell or whale, and if I sigh. Seek me out, and take me. If I may, and if I might. Got a gun, to bleed me... Bridge #3: A phrase, in his pocket. Erased from, his woman. The chain's from his owner in my teeeaaaa.... Chorus #3: Re Mi Re Mi Re Mi Do Re Mi Do Re Mi Do Re Mi Do Re Mi Do Re Mi... I know these lyrics to be right not only from time spent listening and rewinding, but also because I'm a songwriter and am able to hear the stressing on certain phrases that some people might not catch because of the way it can slur when bending and shifting vocal notes!! I put a lot of work into this so I hope some of y'all appreciate this!!
+Willam Shelton I have checked several other different versions of those lyrics before making this video. I must say, none of them coincided so I chose the one that fitted the best. At some point you can't really understand what he's saying so the lyrics can be interpretable.
I have the lyrics, I played it back as many times as I needed to. (I'm going to edit in the lyrics here because I wrote them on a note app, but I'm on my dad's phone, and the lyrics on my Kindle.)
And if I may And if I might Lie me down weeping And if I say What it's like I might be dreaming And if I may What is right Some in time, see me heal For years in his blonde head The phrase from his pocket Chains from the knowing lifelong dream Do Re Mi X4 And if I may And if I might Wake me up, see me And if I do And if I like Find me out and see me And if I'm made Cold as ice I might have to see me heal Raised in his own care Erased from his moment Chased from the socket I will need Re Mi X2 Do Re Mi X4 Wish me good And wish me life Find me now in season In their way Just be quiet Follow pain and breed me In the well And if I sigh Sake me out on a TV And if I may And if I might Got a gun to bleed me Raised from his pocket Raised from his moment Chased from his own liberty Re Mi X2 Cremate me Don't rape me Don't rape me Don't rape me Don't rape me Don't rape me (it didn't post to my Google Plus, thus why I am replying to my comment yet again.)
the last thing in the mix is that it is not a real song and wouldve been scratched by him if he'd lived. I write songs and can sense when it's a dead-end, most everything a songwriter comes up with never turns into a song because you realize it's going nowhere and wasnt meant to be.
If I may/If I might/Got a Gun/To Bleed Me. Damn. That is so creepy. Kurt had so much more to give. If there's a Heaven I hope it's a place where you can meet your hero's. Kurt is one of my musical hero's. See you on the other side.
David Boguzes I never understood the good about heaven living in a world where you have everything and nothing to look forward to or work for because you already have everything seems like terrible I rather burn in the depth of hell
I can send you the studio version of two songs that he told me would be on his next album!! Kurt Cobain is my uncle so I have access to some recordings other people don't have access too!
Kurt’s voice was so incredible. It had its own beauty and uniqueness to it and I’ve never heard anything like it before. I really wish he didn’t die. I wasn’t alive in the 90’s, so sadly I never got to see him in person. He may be gone, but at the same time he’s still with us. We breathe the same air he once breathed and he left us with a daughter and his amazing music. He’ll never be truly gone. Thank you Kurt for everything you have given us ❤️
@@sharigan9694 u somewhat can if your a heroin addict it really sucks! But he could buy all the dope he wanted so its hard to sympathize he is my favorite of all time but he was great looking the most talented musician ever (imo) and he could just be high all day so life couldn't of been that bad
You can hear in the early version of Mr Moustache that he had the melody all laid out but he was just making random ass syllables to experiment with how his voice and certain vocal sounds would go with it. He wrote the sheets for his guitar before he wrote sheets of paper for the lyrics.
@@downer2846 I remember hearing that and we were laughing our asses off on Outcesticide 3? I think as a kid when I found it at the Flea Market for way too much money. There was not much of an internet, bootlegs were all we had.
Yo ame a kurt cobain, desde que lo descubrí a los 12 hasta ahorita que tengo 22, y de todas sus canciones esta es de mis favoritas. Con mas madures y dejando las adicciones atrás, lo entiendo, entiendo por que lo hizo. Un estrellato que ya no le gustaba, una pareja que lo engañaba, un dura adicción a la heroína. Por menos cualquiera de nosotros hemos pensado en volarnos la cabeza. Te amo, te amo como el padre que nunca tuve, el hermano mayor que necesitaba, el amigo para callar los malos pensamientos y cerrar los ojos y disfrutar, la rabia, la locura, la alegria y la tristeza. Gracias por lo que nos dejaste, ahora lo pienso y entiendo que se trata todo esto, es ser tu mismo y solo así poder empezar a cosechar un mejor futuro. Lo que nos dejaste. Ayudar a los demas para un mejor futuro, en donde no siempre seamos los adolecentes deprimidos.
First time hearing this in the middle of the night under a full moon. I believe we discover acts of beauty at specific moments. There’s no explanation. It’s a beautiful song in its early workings. I can definitely hear a Beatles/John Lennon influence and also shades of early Bowie ‘The Man Who Sold The World’ album and possibly ‘Hunky Dory’. Ultimately, it’s Kurt Cobain. What a gift.
Personally, I don't think it would have been as good if it was made it to the studio....just my opinion though....but I just love the raw sound of Kurt's voice...the pain...yet...he just sounded like he was having a great time... R.I.P. Kurt Cobain 'Its better to burn out than fade away'
Brad Forrester just thought you should know, allegedly that's what Kurt said on his suicide note, not in person. they are the lyrics of Neil Young from his song Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black). they're not even his own words. just a heads up
@@error404usernamenotfound5 Well your not attacking but it sounds to me like a remark of someone who knows what it means. I mean Kurt did KILLHIMSELF a few weeks after this song
@@dwightneffejkcrb463 well if you do youre research you can see there is a lot of points of he was killed by a hitman. 1 a man said courtney love asked him to kill kurt in exchange for 20K. a week after that interview he was killed.
Stretching out vocally with this higher pitch. Writing and riffing for the future that was stolen. Very different and more love songwriting than his heavy stuff and yet still a classic Kurt style tune that includes a nice build up and crescendo both vocally and punch for the live setting.
how could he steal his own future? CL of course had nothing to do with it regardless of what all the nutcases say, it was him who chose to end the future.
I'm only 15 and I just recently got into nirvana but I already love all their music, I wish that we could've got another album I wish kurt would've been able to deal with everything he would've been such a big inspiration 😔
The first time I heard this song i almost was in tears. I don’t know why... After every „Do Re Mi/Don’t Rape Me“ i was more scared and insecure. It was really strange. But i still like this song a lot. So unfortunate that he died before making a studio version of this song. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain
i love nirvana but he was barely a songwriter or musician or singer, he winged it and somehow people latched on so he kept going but he had zero clue how to write a real song or how to play guitar well or how to sing, he got very lucky.
@@joejones9520 bro are you kidding me 💀💀. People don’t just “latch” onto things that are winged. To be the most or one of the most famous bands in the world you have to have SOME skill. Stop downplaying greatness
from listening to this, I can confirm that the chorus is completely 'Do Re Mi', but the last one is completely 'Don't rape me'. I have listened to many Nirvana songs, so I listened and made sure to find the slight 'p' sound, which is well disguised with Kurt's voice.
@@notb4ck yeah i think he fucked around with it and alternated like he did in another song ("kill a million/heal a million"; i can't remember the song name rn)
I come here every year on the 5.4 because in my opinion this is the most symbolic song for the day of his passing, his last known song... Can't believe it's been 27 years since he died at the age of 27... I was still in utero of my mom when he died, but this still hurts very much.....
It never fails to amaze me even after all these years how incredibly clever, sweet and sad kurt was. It's such a mixture of emotions whenever I hear his music. The world lost one of the most unique persons that ever lived, I'm glad as painful as it is that he lived in an era that I lived in. RIP brother.
When my mom passed away in 2013, this song reminds me of that time. I was listening to this song a LOT and cried 😓❤️. Somehow it is so melancholic but still full of hope. Still gives chills to my spine.
Im literally crying right now thinking about not ever being able to see Kurt Cobain in real life and this being one of his last songs before he died. 😖😣😔
It's so beautiful. He was in so much pain and sorrow this song makes that loud and clear. It feels like a goodbye song. I heard this somewhere and I didn't even know it was him. Now I'm glad I do. Beautiful 💕.
I in all these years am pretty much sure he wanted to die. Courtney was leaving him, his voice was gone and Nirvana wasn't the same. The heroin became to much and both kept going back to it. Think he told the nanny to make sure it was done, that kid always seemed so gloomy. Figure he was into Courtney as well, pretty sure Kurt knew she was cheating on him with pretty much anyone with a hard dick. Kurt probably said fuck it and had his last big fix and was suffering and nanny finished him w Kurts help. Suicide ran in Kurts family, as much a Nirvana fan that I've been since the late '80s you can hear his soul is tired ever since his 2 diseased loves, Courtney and Heroin. I'm sure he felt like shit being everyone's hero and raising a daughter that would find out his first love is opiates. a lot of guilt with him, sad... Kurt needed people who cared instead he got fame, and a whore for a spouse who had her own demons.
So this is how good the next album would have been.. it's easy to think Nirvana would have gone to shit or lost popularity but you hear this and you remember it wouldn't happen, the guy wrote amazing music which is why they were famous, they weren't famous by luck, it was truly genius and a gift.
Agree...I'm sure this is the direction Kurt would have gone. It's easier to sing also. Maybe he does one last Nirvana album and let's Dave do Foo Fighters after.
In the time when Nirvana was popular all over the world my country was in war with croatia and they didnt want to listen to Nirvanas music cuz Nirvanas Krist Novoselic was from Croatia.That was 10 years before i was born.Now the person that i respect the most is Kurt.Greetings from Serbia
I thought this may interest people who love Nirvana. I have a rare Itinerary that I got in a "In Utero/Box-Set" here in Australia in 2013. It was for the 20th anniversary of the album's release date. Now it came with a Book and a few little collectors items. A invisible man mask, 4 CDs, 2 DVD's, etc. Now in one of the sleeves in the In Utero book, they had the complete itinerary of both the North American Tour Dates, including press days, and other stuff, like days off, Travel days via, Planes or Buses, depending on the loup etc, etc. So for the European Dates, it says Nirvana left America from Seattle to LAX, then to Paris, during the early morning hours of February 2 1994. They arrived in France around mid-day February 2 1994. February 3, says rest day. February 4th they play a variety show in France, where they played the 3 songs, in those pinstripe suits. They rehearsed as part of the shows segments earlier in the day. The actual show was filmed earlier, mid-afternoon, so Nirvana could travel to Cascais, Portugal on the evening of February 4th. It says they traveled by plane to Portugal from France I thought they just used the 2 Tour Buses during the European Tour, but I'm going by what it says. They arrived in Portugal, by 11:45pm February 4th. And on the afternoon of February 5th they rehearse in a space at the hotel allocated for the band to rehearse etc. Lastly on the morning of February 6th they rehearse at the arena in Cascais Portugal where they are scheduled to play that night, do a soundcheck, it even says rehearsels finished at 2:00pm soundcheck starts from 3:05pm to 3:50pm. Kurt and Pat Smear and Melora Creagar, the cello player go back to the hotel for an hour or so, they come back to the arena with 2 members from the Buzzcocks less than an hour later. Go figure. And that is the start of Nirvana's European Tour of February/March.
Does anyone else feel that this all points to his suicide? I mean, Kurt didn't put much into his lyrics but this was months before his death. Looking his lyrics like "don't rape me" is talking to the critics and maybe even his fans to leave him alone, let him go back to being a small little band in Seattle and that's he's tired of living with his wife and the heavy feelings in his heart. He also talks about how he doesn't want to get frozen to someday return to this awful world, "cremate me." This is what I see in the song, and maybe he wrote these lyrics not knowing what they truly meant. It's interesting discussion just can never be truly answered...
the song rape me is about not wanting to sell out but having to cause of record deals. courtney also said it her self after kurt passed, about people making merch un officially and putting his suicide note on t-shirts "they are raping kurt" was her words if im correct, so theres that too.
This song is a mix of optimism, and like someone said, Kurt’s melancholy. Soulful all around. Sounds like someone on the verge of pulling through the muck of severe depression. Very sorry it didn’t work out that way. RIP.
Both of them are actually the same meaning on rape victims. Nirvana was a feminist band and a lot of Kurts songs had hidden meanings that people back then wouldn’t really get
I listen to Kurt's voice most of the time, putting it in front of the music--but, in these acoustic home recorded songs, I listen to his guitar, and place the strumming up front. With my focus on the rhythm, feeling each chord's dissonance or harmony, I hear his voice as a melody supporting the music. The lyrics and his story comprise the background. This brings a fresh perspective to the experience of hearing his songs and is a bright pleasure to see, like standing back from something you've been hard at work at to see it's beauty and grandeur.

no why?
Before his suicide, Kurt was spending time alone in his home in Seattle for a week. People spotted him walking alone in the parks in face covering clothes so that no one recognizes him. That was the darkest period for him, can't imagine what he was going through at that moment. Rest in peace man
He knew about Courtney sleeping around on him. Kurt was incredibly sensitive to ridicule. Being such a public couple, one wonders whether the public ridicule, embarrassment and shame were just too big for him to live through.
@@lidiaspazzard Courtney absolutely had an influence on his suicide. However she's not the whole picture. The man had other problems bigger than Courtney.
@@barakaobama4017 Sure, he had lots of problems. But sometimes there is a catalyst, and I believe her misadventures may have been it.
@@lidiaspazzard Probably. Her cheating on him could have been the final push that spiraled out of control. So sad.
How do you know that? People recognized him but he could just be out in public like that? The people said it in interviews or something?
The saddest thing is to realize he still had so much to give, there could’ve been so many great songs that would come out, but we can now only wonder of what it would be like if things turned out differently.
I think of this as the universe where he gave in but he no longer has to feel the burden or pain of existence
He was killed by Courtney Love
@@pennyroyalpolly8282 shut up and let the man rest.
Nah he said that he had no more songs to write. He also planned to maybe to acoustic solo album for a finisher and then end Nirvana.
@@bigdawg6308 That was his addiction and depression talking. The guy was an artist and was immensely creative, he had so much music left in him. He was just so fucked up he couldn’t see it at the end.

It’s crazy how the most beautiful things can come from the most hurt people
I've seen how many people get upset, upset or sad that this song wasn't produced better or didn't appear on a next album for obvious reasons. From my maybe stupid point of view, I feel that this demo itself is perfect. I would have liked it remastered or a final version, but I feel that by itself and for the fact that we can still have the opportunity to listen to it, I appreciate it and I feel that it is perfect as it is.
❤ u are absolutly right bro
Quite possibly the most beautiful thing I've heard in my entire life.
Drain You Wow, you mustn't have heard much music.

Qwasz Abwisfd it's not about sensitivity at all, it's about respecting someone's comment dude. No need to be problematic for no reason. You can't know if she has heard much music. In her opinion that's beautiful. Something about the song appeals her, don't ruin it for her. Jesus. The comment was made 1 year ago? What's your business?

That "find me out of season" line really hit me. We've all been in that place of self loathing where you are so depressed and hate yourself, don't take care of yourself, think that you are in a state that no one can ever love you in.
We think we have to beat depression or addiction in order to be worthy of love, but Kurt is saying "find me out of season", find me when I'm at my worst point and love me when I need it most, when I feel the least worthy of affection.
This comment genuinely made me cry
@@azrael4771 it's heartbreaking.
This is really haunting for a song in the major scale. Also, that picture of him looking depressed in his Smells like Teen Spirit outfit really symbolizes something... you can’t see his face because it’s covered up by a shadow. This shadow is fame. The only thing showing is his hair, the outfit, and his guitar. This symbolizes how the media didn’t care about Kurt as a person, or his individuality, they just cared about how popular he was. To most people and the media, Kurt was just a grunge figure. And this photo shows that.
Exactly!! Poor Kurt .. :(
Nice point of view, but however edited that picture wasn't thinking of that... It just looks cool.
Also, the media has always been like this. They admire X artist because of their public figure. They could care less about the actual individual. As soon as you become irrelevant and poor, they forget you. Kurt wasnt the first victim of this.

Beautiful and so sad. People generally think All Apologies was Kurt's goodbye, but I think Do Re Mi was. There's such a bittersweet feeling to it. Like Kurt's accepted all that will be. Melancholic but also triumphant in a way.
I look up to Kurt so much as I resonate with him a lot.
I like to say all apologies was kurt apologizing for the o’d in rome, I’m pretty sure Dave grohl told him “don’t die” and that was his apology to the world and Dave
Kurt’s goodbye was in most of the songs he wrote. A goodbye to suffering and pain not a suicidal goodbye. He flirted with it and then decided on it.

I know these lyrics to be right not only from time spent listening and rewinding, but also because I'm a songwriter and am able to hear the stressing on certain phrases that some people might not catch because of the way it can slur when bending and shifting vocal notes!! I put a lot of work into this so I hope some of y'all appreciate this!!
+Willam Shelton I have checked several other different versions of those lyrics before making this video. I must say, none of them coincided so I chose the one that fitted the best. At some point you can't really understand what he's saying so the lyrics can be interpretable.
Ok, that is possible, but I bet if you take a listen, you'll hear atlest how close I am!!
look at my comment, I found something that may be of interest.
I have the lyrics, I played it back as many times as I needed to.
(I'm going to edit in the lyrics here because I wrote them on a note app, but I'm on my dad's phone, and the lyrics on my Kindle.)

This song always makes me feel so...I cant put my finger on it. It's a mix of sadness, wistful ness, sympathy and something else.
the last thing in the mix is that it is not a real song and wouldve been scratched by him if he'd lived. I write songs and can sense when it's a dead-end, most everything a songwriter comes up with never turns into a song because you realize it's going nowhere and wasnt meant to be.
sympathy is interesting
to me Kurt sounds very introspective here

This is my favorite Nirvana song of all time... the lyrics are so cold and so is his singing and guitar. Like a blues song.
Kurt’s voice was so incredible. It had its own beauty and uniqueness to it and I’ve never heard anything like it before. I really wish he didn’t die. I wasn’t alive in the 90’s, so sadly I never got to see him in person. He may be gone, but at the same time he’s still with us. We breathe the same air he once breathed and he left us with a daughter and his amazing music. He’ll never be truly gone. Thank you Kurt for everything you have given us ❤️
any one else geting a Beatleish 1960s rock vibe of this
Papa Hitler I didn't know u were alive where have you been
Ya, I get it. Kurt was heavily influenced by The Beatles, so it's no surprise.

Exactly!
You can hear in the early version of Mr Moustache that he had the melody all laid out but he was just making random ass syllables to experiment with how his voice and certain vocal sounds would go with it. He wrote the sheets for his guitar before he wrote sheets of paper for the lyrics.

Yo ame a kurt cobain, desde que lo descubrí a los 12 hasta ahorita que tengo 22, y de todas sus canciones esta es de mis favoritas.
Con mas madures y dejando las adicciones atrás, lo entiendo, entiendo por que lo hizo.
Un estrellato que ya no le gustaba, una pareja que lo engañaba, un dura adicción a la heroína. Por menos cualquiera de nosotros hemos pensado en volarnos la cabeza.
Te amo, te amo como el padre que nunca tuve, el hermano mayor que necesitaba, el amigo para callar los malos pensamientos y cerrar los ojos y disfrutar, la rabia, la locura, la alegria y la tristeza.
Gracias por lo que nos dejaste, ahora lo pienso y entiendo que se trata todo esto, es ser tu mismo y solo así poder empezar a cosechar un mejor futuro. Lo que nos dejaste. Ayudar a los demas para un mejor futuro, en donde no siempre seamos los adolecentes deprimidos.
how beautiful is this?
As beautiful as Kurt's soul
100/10
"Those years in his blond head, the phrase from his pocket, chains from the knowing lifelong dream" that is my favorite part in this song.
The way he sung DO RE MI was so beautiful. I miss u kurt ❤
First time hearing this in the middle of the night under a full moon. I believe we discover acts of beauty at specific moments. There’s no explanation. It’s a beautiful song in its early workings.
I can definitely hear a Beatles/John Lennon influence and also shades of early Bowie ‘The Man Who Sold The World’ album and possibly ‘Hunky Dory’. Ultimately, it’s Kurt Cobain. What a gift.
If i may, if i might, got a gun to bleed me 😦

Stretching out vocally with this higher pitch. Writing and riffing for the future that was stolen. Very different and more love songwriting than his heavy stuff and yet still a classic Kurt style tune that includes a nice build up and crescendo both vocally and punch for the live setting.
how could he steal his own future? CL of course had nothing to do with it regardless of what all the nutcases say, it was him who chose to end the future.

I come here every year on the 5.4 because in my opinion this is the most symbolic song for the day of his passing, his last known song... Can't believe it's been 27 years since he died at the age of 27... I was still in utero of my mom when he died, but this still hurts very much.....
It never fails to amaze me even after all these years how incredibly clever, sweet and sad kurt was. It's such a mixture of emotions whenever I hear his music. The world lost one of the most unique persons that ever lived, I'm glad as painful as it is that he lived in an era that I lived in. RIP brother.
I love the rawness of this. It's absolutely beautiful. You are missed, Kurt.

Im literally crying right now thinking about not ever being able to see Kurt Cobain in real life and this being one of his last songs before he died. 😖😣😔
It's so beautiful. He was in so much pain and sorrow this song makes that loud and clear. It feels like a goodbye song. I heard this somewhere and I didn't even know it was him. Now I'm glad I do. Beautiful 💕.
I in all these years am pretty much sure he wanted to die. Courtney was leaving him, his voice was gone and Nirvana wasn't the same. The heroin became to much and both kept going back to it. Think he told the nanny to make sure it was done, that kid always seemed so gloomy. Figure he was into Courtney as well, pretty sure Kurt knew she was cheating on him with pretty much anyone with a hard dick. Kurt probably said fuck it and had his last big fix and was suffering and nanny finished him w Kurts help. Suicide ran in Kurts family, as much a Nirvana fan that I've been since the late '80s you can hear his soul is tired ever since his 2 diseased loves, Courtney and Heroin. I'm sure he felt like shit being everyone's hero and raising a daughter that would find out his first love is opiates. a lot of guilt with him, sad... Kurt needed people who cared instead he got fame, and a whore for a spouse who had her own demons.
Carl Smith the nanny helped him kill himself? whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Dude what the Fuck?
So you guys think Kurt was so fucking depressed because Courtney is a whore?
Ciaran Plavac Not me , i made that clear up there in previous comment
The Beach Guy how you know that? Plus the nanny was a guy right?
So this is how good the next album would have been.. it's easy to think Nirvana would have gone to shit or lost popularity but you hear this and you remember it wouldn't happen, the guy wrote amazing music which is why they were famous, they weren't famous by luck, it was truly genius and a gift.
Agree...I'm sure this is the direction Kurt would have gone. It's easier to sing also. Maybe he does one last Nirvana album and let's Dave do Foo Fighters after.
I think his heart was ready to stick around, but that brain can really do some damage.
In the time when Nirvana was popular all over the world my country was in war with croatia and they didnt want to listen to Nirvanas music cuz Nirvanas Krist Novoselic was from Croatia.That was 10 years before i was born.Now the person that i respect the most is Kurt.Greetings from Serbia
Interesting. Thanks for sharing that history.
This is literally my favorite song by them and idc that it's just a demo. I think it works better because it's so raw and open.

Well... just by himself
I thought this may interest people who love Nirvana. I have a rare Itinerary that I got in a "In Utero/Box-Set" here in Australia in 2013. It was for the 20th anniversary of the album's release date. Now it came with a Book and a few little collectors items. A invisible man mask, 4 CDs, 2 DVD's, etc. Now in one of the sleeves in the In Utero book, they had the complete itinerary of both the North American Tour Dates, including press days, and other stuff, like days off, Travel days via, Planes or Buses, depending on the loup etc, etc. So for the European Dates, it says Nirvana left America from Seattle to LAX, then to Paris, during the early morning hours of February 2 1994. They arrived in France around mid-day February 2 1994. February 3, says rest day. February 4th they play a variety show in France, where they played the 3 songs, in those pinstripe suits. They rehearsed as part of the shows segments earlier in the day. The actual show was filmed earlier, mid-afternoon, so Nirvana could travel to Cascais, Portugal on the evening of February 4th. It says they traveled by plane to Portugal from France I thought they just used the 2 Tour Buses during the European Tour, but I'm going by what it says. They arrived in Portugal, by 11:45pm February 4th. And on the afternoon of February 5th they rehearse in a space at the hotel allocated for the band to rehearse etc. Lastly on the morning of February 6th they rehearse at the arena in Cascais Portugal where they are scheduled to play that night, do a soundcheck, it even says rehearsels finished at 2:00pm soundcheck starts from 3:05pm to 3:50pm. Kurt and Pat Smear and Melora Creagar, the cello player go back to the hotel for an hour or so, they come back to the arena with 2 members from the Buzzcocks less than an hour later. Go figure. And that is the start of Nirvana's European Tour of February/March.
Very nice information thanks for sharing
This song makes me feel like "what do I think I think of me?" Every NIRVANA songs are interconnected.
@ihate Johnwick1 Check the lyrics of Radio Friendly Unit Shifter.
I remember hearing this for the first time and thinking "good god, what a demo!" ..blown away. such a beautiful song.
Does anyone else feel that this all points to his suicide? I mean, Kurt didn't put much into his lyrics but this was months before his death. Looking his lyrics like "don't rape me" is talking to the critics and maybe even his fans to leave him alone, let him go back to being a small little band in Seattle and that's he's tired of living with his wife and the heavy feelings in his heart. He also talks about how he doesn't want to get frozen to someday return to this awful world, "cremate me." This is what I see in the song, and maybe he wrote these lyrics not knowing what they truly meant. It's interesting discussion just can never be truly answered...
the song rape me is about not wanting to sell out but having to cause of record deals. courtney also said it her self after kurt passed, about people making merch un officially and putting his suicide note on t-shirts "they are raping kurt" was her words if im correct, so theres that too.
This song is a mix of optimism, and like someone said, Kurt’s melancholy. Soulful all around. Sounds like someone on the verge of pulling through the muck of severe depression. Very sorry it didn’t work out that way. RIP.
Last song I ever listened too goodbye ever love u all.
U alright
@@BenJi-di5mn guess no
So Beatle-esque... so awesome Kurt was influenced by the Beatles
Actually it's only john Lennon..not the band
I can also hear The Beatles influences in this song
@@okirrama3587 Kurt didn't know which Beatle made what song.
This song gives me chills
The sequel to "Rape Me"
3:07 Sickening how they treat me :(
The 94 album should be so good,but...
😢
Rape me
Don't rape me
Make up your mind, KURT!
Ha
Both of them are actually the same meaning on rape victims. Nirvana was a feminist band and a lot of Kurts songs had hidden meanings that people back then wouldn’t really get
I listen to Kurt's voice most of the time, putting it in front of the music--but, in these acoustic home recorded songs, I listen to his guitar, and place the strumming up front. With my focus on the rhythm, feeling each chord's dissonance or harmony, I hear his voice as a melody supporting the music. The lyrics and his story comprise the background. This brings a fresh perspective to the experience of hearing his songs and is a bright pleasure to see, like standing back from something you've been hard at work at to see it's beauty and grandeur.
We all know his lyrics were ambiguous when writing new songs, don't take these as scripture.
