Kurt is not yodeling, hes using Registry Changes and tremlo.

This is a cool story, but a huge reach. lol People romanticize his death so much. A lot happened between this performance and his death. I do think he was depressed, but its a massive leap for me to think he knew in 4 months from him performing that song that he was going to take his own life in that moment. I would suggest watching or reading the behind the scenes of that performance, and also the weeks leading up to his death. It will make it more apparent that those two things were not linked. A lot of the time the reality of something isn't nearly as magnificent as the stories we create in our heads.

I was 12-13 when Nirvana hit the scene. I remember being acutely aware of the types of chords they used and how unique they were, but didn't yet have a musical understanding of why. But there was always something haunting about their music to me on a subconscious level. I think that was that effective empathy you were talking about. Even without the lyrics, if they were in another language, they would still have this effect on me. They seem to challenge the natural resolve of melody that we expect. And yeah...haunting, complicated, tortured eyes.

9:57 One of the truest statements ever. When the emotion is so raw and you can feel it in your soul it doesn't matter if it's a bit out of key or pitchy. Nirvana didn't really play any of their hits in their MTV Performance. Also, 6 of the 14 songs they performed were covers from other artists including this one which was originally done by Lead Belly. They even brought out 1 of those artist to perform 3 of their songs. They also filmed the entire performance in a single take and left all their mistakes in. Kurt reportedly was going through withdrawals from heroin and was vomiting bile and blood during rehearsals. That sigh of relief that it's almost over and the way he looks at the camera still brings a tear to my eye no matter how many times I have watched this.

Nirvana is my favorite band EVER. This is the best single performance of a song in music history, IMO. I tear up each and every time I see this video. It’s just that amazingly powerful.

Viví la epoca de los noventa y todas las genialidades que ocurrieron. Hoy Me parece todo plastico. Es muy dificil encontrar gente asi. Kurt fué uno de esos que provoca lo que tu estás sintiendo en el video. Solo estás pensando en la musica y no importa mas nada. Su corazon conectando con el tuyo. Saludos desde Argentina

It was such a powerful moment where Kurt said "This is the last song F###ers" And after the song everyone went, "Yep" No one expected an encore after that performance.

I always thought this song displayed his voice in a way that would lend itself to country music.

You should check out You Know You're Right. Really hear the grit in Kurt's voice. Wasn't at the age of good taste before 94 but would have loved to see them live. Especially the Unplugged set.

I just saw your analysis of the Nivarna acoustic track In the Pines, thank you very much for making me feel that emotional and cognitive empathy with your words. It's been a long time since I felt that sensation of quality, emotional communication and emotion. Your analyses are very warm, and with great details, I'm learning a lot from you. And thank you also for your analysis of the song You're the Voice, by John Farhman, we got excited together with the song, while you analyzed it.
