The Hipster Orchestra, "Lithium" (Nirvana cover) 

This shows why Nirvana wasn't just a grunge band, Kurt Cobain made beautiful melodies that could be played in many other styles, Nirvana's work goes far beyond the simplicity they seemed to have.

Kurt was a genius

Makes you think what other kinds of melodies He could’ve made :/ Its so beautiful it makes me tear up a little.

The best Nirvana's "Lithium" cover out there. It sounds so perfect, each instrument individually and as whole. You guys have done really amazing work, you deserve more views. Been listening all morning

These melodies that he made are insanely sophisticated and just shows that there was so much behind every song he made. Rip to the Legend

I put Kurt up there with Townshend,McCartney etc. in the group of modern composers who will be remembered as writing some of the greatest chord progressions in history. Hearing them in classical form proves that. He had the gift. Rest in peace 🙏🏻

Wonderful... I knew it! There has always been something magical in Nirvana's music under the hood. This makes it explicit.

I got shivers when the chorus first dropped.

This is so beautiful. Made me tear up. Wow

Did they use this In montage of heck 🤔

I love how angry everyone is over the word, "hipster". It's what they called this orchestra. If it said philharmonic, you wouldn't be so butt-hurt, but because it has the word "hipster" in it, it suddenly changes the audio? Your ears are broken and you are what's wrong with music. You don't hear with your eyes, stupid.

for those who wants to sing this version: I'm so happy because today I've found my friends They're in my head I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you We've broken our mirrors Sunday morning is everyday for all I care And I'm not scared Light my candles in a daze 'Cause I've found god Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I'm so lonely but that's okay I shaved my head And I'm not sad And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard But I'm not sure I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there But I don't care I'm so horny but that's okay My will is good Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I like it, I'm not gonna crack I miss you, I'm not gonna crack I love you, I'm not gonna crack I killed you, I'm not gonna crack I like it, I'm not gonna crack I miss you, I'm not gonna crack I love you, I'm not gonna crack I killed you, I'm not gonna crack I'm so happy 'cause today I've found my friends, They're in my head I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you, Broke our mirrors Sunday morning is everyday for all I care, And I'm not scared Light my candles in a daze 'Cause I've found god Yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah I like it, I'm not gonna crack I miss you, I'm not gonna crack I love you, I'm not gonna crack I killed you, I'm not gonna crack I like it, I'm not gonna crack I miss you, I'm not gonna crack I love you, I'm not gonna crack I killed you, I'm not gonna crack

Okay I'm a huge nirvana fan and this was great keep up the good work

i had goosebumps..that shows how great this cover is..

For anyone that can’t see the connection between Metal and Classical, this masterpiece shows it all!

One of my favorite songs... by my favorite band... is done like this. That's awesome!!!

I'm getting married in April 2022 and I would die if you guys did a cover of one of our songs! Smithereens - Twenty One Pilots Holy Ghost - BORNS

la melodía y armonía de esta canción es hermosa, creo que este tema es La Obra Maestra de Nirvana.

nirvana, ahh takes me back to being a teenager :) love it, that band made me strong at times when i needed it

Thank you for covering such a beutiful band!!!! Amazing job and long live NIRVANA!!!

This is amazing. I look up to you. I am in high school orchestra right now and I wish I were as good as that first violin. P.s. This is the best song ever

I like it, but a version w/out the fretted instruments would be neat to hear as well.

Thank you to everyone involved in this

Ficou excelente !

Whoever's playing the soprano violin of viola, whatever, is doing a really nice job!

Yes! Home again

In a daze since I found Kurt.

@StateOfIndiana it's nice to know you speak for Kurt and the crew. I would assure you that they would be flattered and intrigued by this cover...but since I don't speak for other people I can't.

Awesome. You took my favorite song and made it better.

awesome

@NonFerrousBueller How is it easy to hate one of the most talented bands of our generation? Hate the kids who wear the shirts who don't know who they are, hate the posers who only know about Nevermind, hate the add execs who try to capitalize on our childhood, don't hate a great band. Nirvana was popular because they made good music, not because they made music that was easy to sell...

those violins are great

Refreshing . . ..

GENIUS

I'm a huge Nirvana fan, and these covers usually suck, but that was beautiful. Great job!

I grew up with Nirvana. Lived and breathed Nirvana. The bottom line is, if they had to choose between someone covering a song in a DIFFERENT style or someone spewing HATE in THEIR name and further binding them to it as if it were no doubt their opinion...I'd say they'd likely rather listen to the cover than to some precocious youth rambling about assumptions...but that's my opinion and not verse...because I don't think for a moment that I speak for ANYONE.

I get chills

Beautiful.

yeah i have to say that i almost didn't check this out when it came up on my reccomendations simple because of the word hipster being in the title. glad i stopped and listened. really good.

Amazing

I wonder about what the people who didn't like this would think I they saw how much time and energy they put into playing this.

Genios

This is beautiful.

awesome stuff in the making in heyaaa

Mto bom este video, parabens a todos...

@MrOrangeRhinoceros not orange?

THIS WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY AWESOME

wow. This is AMAZING.

That.. is awesome...

Amazing.

wow - sounds incredible :)

love it

Sgt. Nevermind

Excellent! Great arrangement!

We love you Kurt 😔❤

Is montage heck use this?

Very nice. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Really guys, I'm still here and I think it's a masterpiece

@markrebec This is not hipster. By saying they are hipster, they go against the guidelines of being a hipster. Of these guidelines i cannot tell you because then it would not be hipster because you would know. I am indifferent towards your comment.

Amazing!!

guys I've just heard your tunes on a vice documentary of libya, does anyone the songs on that documentary?... much appreciated... and BTW what a great band of yours! cheers from colombia

Some of the notes the lead violin played were interpreted to make his vocals more melodic, they should have went with how it sounded originally, even if his note wasn't perfectly in the scale.

Wow how amazing that I'm viewer 466 .. GO ON GET MILLIONS SON

^^^pretty cool stuff ^^^

Nirvana Forever¡¡¡

WOW!!..... Besides that, they make it sound friendly.

Great job!!!

Whats the song you play for Vice?!

Ahh, I see...they could tone down the plucking noise in the studio version, but in the live you have to play a bit louder to blend with the violins, violas, cellos and whatnot hitting full volume. Still amazed by it though.

Cool stuff!

Dammmmm!! This is FUCKING COOL!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

awsome

edan euy hade pisan i love it

This should be in The Bridgerton Season 3. No doubts

swag.

fucking awesome

Lovely, but yea I agree it would sound better without the guitars, all you hear is the picks scraping the strings. :/

@1337w33d Since when orchestras are classified as hipster?

Interesting cover, and yes, cobain was a hipster. He was out to prove sumthin whether it was thru his music or thru his own dysfunctional life, ultimately tho, its art man take it or leave it.

awesome ! :D

Exquisite! Bellissimo! :)

It sounds beautiful, in the opposite way Nirvana was intended but hey; it still sounds good.

It's too happy!!! ;( btw violinist and bassist :3

@markrebec do any of these people look like "punks" or sound like a band that plays "jingles" calm down

Glen? o.O

@STEELFISTSOFDOOM It's just the name of their whole group

this version seems much happier than the original which i thought was kind of depressing in a way.

the players are not playing the melody i hear! but sounds great...

Kurt Cobain was a total hipster...he referenced things very few knew about, he dressed to show it didn't matter what he wore, and he was a complete snob. Also, "jingle punks hipster orchestra" is a terrible name, though this cover is gorgeous.

Noooooooo!! WTF?!? They've Juno'd another great tune.

That was pro.

not much of an orchestra too few ppl lol but still impressive. would be more epic with a full orchestra with 40 or so ppl

heeyyyy! not bad at all :)

10 years lol

My favorite color is red.

Derp derp I HAET HIPSTERRS... Cobain was not a "hipster" and it's stupid that people feel the need the need to apply what is now a meaningless term to him, the name is obviously a joke... By the way one of my only videos is of this song, and I loved this, although definitely different in form from the original

enak parah

Sweeet

Kurt Cobain was a total hipster...he referenced things very few knew about(at the time), he dressed to show it didn't matter what he wore, and he was a complete snob. Also, "jingle punks hipster orchestra" is a terrible name, though this cover is gorgeous.

This was pretty cool. My favorite part was FRECKLE BITCH.
