So fucking true what you said. I know some awasome bands, I'm fun of now, but they never will go worldwide. And no matter what, Kurt was special of special. He was on top of the best singers ever. And his personality... he was unique.
The initial lyrical interpretations are great...he just made up sounds and syllables, used random words to fill in a melody when writing a new song like I do. Then it starts to come together through stream of conscious
WAY better. There's even an older boombox version that I heard as a kid in the mid 90's. It was so rare and the low quality it gives it another dimension of emotion and depth. Distance
Damn I love Nirvana and Kurt Cobain's music. Such a great guy to have made such crazy music that touches you deeply and makes sense on the deepest emotional level. Hopefully we can take his influence into a bright new future of his music's emotional complexity and intelligence.
"no way, it's over", as if he is having an argument between the part of him that wants to get clean, and the part that would rather die than give up dope.
Staring at him while seeing the lyrics made me.,, I don’t know what it made me, I don’t know the word, I don’t know how I felt, I want him back and I want to hug him
I'm leaving Filthy hands hey hey Meet me hey, hey hey And miss me, hey, hey Prefer me stay hey hey More a one day... And you gonna miss me hey, hey You gonna miss me... Second unknown song: And I am afraid It's a fire Our house is gone And I refrain Are you God Are you God You little boy Your knotted fingers meet the floor And now like a baby he ignores And I walk like a baby Free spin flowers beneath your ray Your silent bit and and I will sway The sea in front of me away And I know, I know...baby Lyrics Old Age: One more day to complete my service One more high to decay my nervous Wondering how I'm gonna find a way It's over One more day to complete my service One more time here to fade my servant Wondering how I'm gonna find a way Over She seen through me and mine And I know a later time We could make it with you We're the same Old age (x4) One more day to complain, my servant One more doubt here to find a servant Wondering how I'm gonna find It's over Wondering how I'm here date my cover One more doubt here to save my never Wondering how I'm gonna find a way It's over She seemed true, me and mine And I know a later time We and we're you to you Leave the soul Old age (x4) Just you need and read you free Hmmm And knew You read You flew Ooo Hmmm One more day to complete my circuit One more high here to find my nervous Someday I'm gonna find a way It's over One more doubt here to claim my supper I can have anything you wanted Wondering how I'm gonna find a way It's over He seemed to read minds And I know we're out of time Breathe away here with you Dream the same on the dew Breathe the same on her Breathe to moan on a man Breathe and shame on you He's late Old age (x7)
Surviving old age is pretty clearly committing suicide. You can't survive old age, but the closest you can get is never getting old. I'm not saying it means he killed himself because I'm pretty sure that suicide was a common theme in ninetees grunge music. But I think that to deny the meaning of the lyrics goes against the logical interpretation.
He's just mumbling and vocalizing here, no real lyrics at all aside from a couple tentative lines. Just trying to get the chords and melody down. It's silly to try to interpret this.
I think the person who heard the lyrics and transcribed them did a good job. And the lyrics are very interesting and powerful This song is a gem . Cobain is amazing
I love the smell of roses like most of us do . Andi was never young . I can say that I understand but to read between the lines in this writing . A little bit of Kurt Cobain lives in all of us. And that's okay too. I don't think I was ever really Young. There are parts I remember and parts I would like to forget forever.amen.
old age was written around 1990-1991 before he gave up on it (kurt and courtneys relationship was still pretty fresh then) if its about anyone its probably about his ex tobey vail (lounge act is also about her and it was written around the same time as this song)
@Joshua Keels"Great song! I actually prefer his normal smoother vocal tone. In my opinion the songs where he used both tones are his best." This IS his normal, smoother tone; his tone in songs, like most of the ones on Nevermind, is mainly due to financial force mainstream demand has on the music industry. Few of the those Beatle bobbing baby boomers ever had to deal with true emotion - when their parade got rained on, they had John Wayne, their tv presidents and bustling prosperity to cheer them up. These tree huggers never had to deal with life as a kid living in one of the dying logging towns they protested against. Never had to deal with all their parents divorcing due to financial stress of, gradual but major, economic decline. No, screw the x generation - stuff like this couldn't be let heard by their herds. They tweaked him just a tiny bit after his rise, just enough to, instead, produce something they could continue to sleep to during their american dream of monopolistic capitalism and bottomless greed.He was a real boy who they tried so hard to puppeteer but never totally could. His skin was just too hot for the strings to stay attached.This is my favorite recording of all time, by any artist ever.There's more in how it's said than what's said.Rest in peace, friend, you saved so many of us and I was one of them.
To me I feel like god is a child, no more of an adult then me and I'm 14. I just like to think that god is up there playing with Legos clay, just making all these messed up mean people and then makes these nice things and people then making them all just fall out at war. Idk that is just my thoughts and this feels like a good place to put them because I love this song.
Yes I'm breathing Filthy hands, hey, hey Read to me, hey, hey Miss me, hey, hey, hey Prefer me sad, hey, hey And I wouldn't break She wouldn't miss me You wouldn't miss me And I am afraid It's a fire our house is gone And I refrain Are you God? Are you God? Little one And now our fingers meet the floor And now like a baby he ignores Anyone to obey me Free spin flowers beneath your ray Your silent bit, and I would stay You see in front of me away And now I know... hey... Keep it down do one more special One more hour and I'll face my servants Someday I'll amount my way to something It's not kind to relieve my service Come inside of her inner circles Someday I will find a way to something She seems to read minds And I'm deaf dumb and blind Wait, the fame I use... Jesus saves. Old age, Old age, Old age Some are kind and some are worthless Some are kind and they feign my service Someday I'll find a way to be sober It's not kind to release my servants One more hour and I'll see my servants Someday I'll amount my way to something She seems to read minds And I'm deaf dumb and blind Face to face in the mirror Resurfaced Old age, Old age, Old age It's such a fantasy we all live in Come and hide away and make a seed One more hour and I face my servants Come on down to relieve my servants Someday I'll amount my way... someday Some are kind and accept my service One more hour and I face my servants Someday I'll amount my way, someday She seems to read minds and I'm deaf dumb and blind Weight the fame I use Jesus saves Old age, Old age, Jesus saves, Old age, old age...
@@mirceacrafter1362 trust me I know your pin I sat and listed to all 4 different versions of this song and even tried to look for the interview with Courtney love about the inspirations for this song...its very well hidden can't find it
@@Animatorjake523 You have cancer? Sorry to hear that. But yeah, I will probably commit suicide too, i tried a couple of days ago, family found me, didn't happen
It still makes me so angry to think of how badly he was treated his whole life and never really was allowed to grow up and live a normal life. i wish i could kill everyone who ever hurt him.He was murdered.Used in life,and blamed for his death.I wish people would wake up and see how much he really wanted to help people. No one understood that he just wanted people to love him,and to just be real people and help each other live and not to steal and kill and destroy. Humans are built for love. So far no one is doing what we are here for.LOVE.He loved. He was killed.I wish everyone would wake UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So is it written in his journals? I can't bring myself to think it's "we survived", sounds like it might be "we so fade" either way there is no D sound at the end of that phrase
I mean, mostly likely these aren't the right lyrics, usually his demos sounds like he's just improvising words or syllables as it goes. Also it could be we survived, Kurt from what I know, sometimes made some letters silent in words, so it could be, could not, does not even matter.
Wow sounds like modest mouse or vice versa of course he was first but before that sound of grunge was Invented it could have almost been something like all float on lol this is gold and I haven’t heard something sound this original from his other songs in a while and it’s just a scrapped song wow
@@tadeuszkolak4937 my comment there was vague and intuitive, not exactly sure what I meant. Man, I didn't understand this piece then as much as I feel I do now but coming back to this song many months later I see even more meaning in it now. I read a comment where some one said this is just a heroine ramble but I say different- when you really listen to the dynamics and structure of the song (you don't just improvise this structure and lyrics (they must have been written and rehearsed) Combine that with the lyrics provided by the dedicated poster of this video (also saw a comment saying the lyrics were just hearing what the poster wanted to hear, I don't think so personally)- add that to knowing some little known hidden facts about the details involved about the characters- what I hear in the lyrics is a man talking about fear of death but that its a possible outcome of gods plan and he is upset about that . of course there's so much more to unpack I still don't have a fuller grip on there "servants" motif in this tune but I can feel its all tied together
I make My own lyrics for the begining of this song Yes, I'm living Corupt lie, no, no Hate me now, no, no, no Kill me, no no no prefer me sad, no, no And I wouldn't lie Will you miss me ? She wouldn't miss me And I am afraid It's just her our love is gone And I'll refrain Are you love, Are you love you little girl And now she just keeps lying And now like a baby she ignore I'm the one with the reality Opioide flowers behind my fate I love you a bit and I will say You see in my eyes away And now, I know, no...
TheLuckiestFish this was actually recorded sometime in 1992, after the “final recording” you are referring to. That recording was cut for nevermind and Kurt was never satisfied with it. This was a recording after the fact with lots of edits to the lyrics.
