The song talks about a girl who is contemplating taking her life after her husband dies. A few months later Kurt took his own life. Yeah, that wasn’t just “drawing a breath”.
This was recorded only 5 moths before he committed suicide, and when they shot it, he was in withdrawal. He was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder. So yes, there's a lot of pain there. Earie enough he insisted to decorate the set like a funeral. More dynamic songs: Lithium or Come As You Are"
Interesting fact, is that they didn't play any of their popular songs, most of the set list are covers... but it's still one of the greatest unpluggeds ever!
By dissecting the work off a master into such small slices you have rendered the emotional impact of the song lifeless and decaying like a dead fish on the beach.
