Nirvana - In Bloom (Vocal Only)

[@glenna_ingle9246]

I love the way Dave's backup vocals sound with Kurt's voice. they blend really well together.

I love Dave's harmony. I wish we could have heard them sing more together.

[@Theparadoxband]

It's not Dave it's Kurt that overdubbed the harmony as stated by the sing mixer in the studio when they recorded this song and Kurt also double tracked his lead vocals

[@000ThatsLife000]

+Blak Linkgaming What? He means at 3:18 for example, that's a completely different voice harmonizing with kurt.

[@Theparadoxband]

I'm telling you it's Kurt

[@000ThatsLife000]

Blak Linkgaming I've heard multiple different sources stating it's grohl, but I'll look into it more I guess.
It really doesn't sound like him. But maybe you're right. Maybe it's on a plain I'm thinking of?

[@Theparadoxband]

The studio mixer said that Kurt double tracked his part and then over dubbed the higher harmony not sure if he double tracked that or not

I always thought he said, "Don't know what it means" on the Nevermind version, but I always sing, "Knows not what it means." Now I hear him saying, "Knows not what it means" clearly.

[@GadreelOFC]

I understand "knows now what it means"

[@hoodedman07]

What the fuck how did he do that, it sounds like “don’t know what it means” on the record but you can hear “knows not what it means” clearly here and you can hear it if you listen closely on the record. Weird

[@FiftySixishTV]

Knowsn't

[@maxmarbury4146]

And this was what cemented Dave into Nirvana. Not only could he beat his drums like they owed him money but he harmonized with Kurt like two coats of paint. Honestly to the core Nirvana listener the pair are asimilar to three Beatles backing a lead. PURELY PERFECT.

[@glorimona]

Dave's backup vocals are AMAZING. Kurt's vocals are of course top notch, But Dave REALLY kicks up the intensity with his backing vocals. Nirvana lives on inside, man.

[@RednaZela]

Yep. Lives on the inside.

Dave Grohl's backup vocals are so good!

[@dayonmage3946]

+mprater86 I know! so good (for Dave Grohl). I mean let's face it, Grohl sucks. but he sounds good doing back up vox on this song because Kurt already laid out the structure for him

[@NeikoGarcia]

+John MaGee while I don't really agree with your opinion, I'm curious to why you think this?

[@10Dante4]

+John MaGee did you just say Grohl and sucks in the same sentence?
you fucking kids with your musical tastes

[@NeikoGarcia]

+10Dante4 I could go on and on about Dave and how much he rocks XD

[@RednaZela]

They are. It's Beatles-esque and more the way their vocals (sound) and harmonies (notes) worked together. It would have been interesting if Kurt would've utilized Dave's harmonies on In Utero.

[@BM151]

Butch Vig is a bad-ass producer

[@BrandonChaunceyOfficial]

I never realized how stereo and nuked his vocals were on this track. They even got a little out of phase thing going, which was more popular in the later 90s/early 2000s. Richer production than I thought

[@brgreg8725]

[@Tipzyyy]

it's crazy that it's four tracks total...they doubled both kurt and dave

[@kropokoko]

Kurt's voice + Dave's voice = Perfection

[@StanAlter]

Butch Vig talked Dave Grohl into doing the harmony vocals. At the time Dave had never sang that high.

[@RednaZela]

Yeah, those vocals are way up there. Well beyond what most people can do without going into falsetto. He performed them incredibly and it seems like some kind of serendipity that his and Kurt's voices blended so well.

[@joshmartins560]

Yeah they are really high. There was no way he could pull it off live AND drum. This is one Nirvana song that was never quite as good live..just because the recorded version is so GOOD.

[@GuyNamedSean]

I didn't realize that's considered high for most people. I forgot for a bit that I made an express point to raise my vocal range a lot in high school.

[@RednaZela]

Well for most males who aren't schooled in that level of singing, it's high. And not in falsetto, as well. He's belting above Cobain who's already singing pretty high.

[@j2martnz348]

[@Nickwilson2]

"John Lennon did it," this convinced Kurt to do the double tracking.
