Insane… this song is something else ❤

[@amy7776]

This is a beautiful song she sang for Kurt. It makes me wanna cry. I can't really cry. Anyway. God bless Mrs. Love/ Cobain . She did not kill him she spent her time trying to save him . in different ways. Perfect? No. Are any of you? No. Xoxo

[@SoftDrinksOfChoice]

Exactly. It's too bad her music gets overshadowed by this bullshit.

I truly and totally think this woman is much better as a person and as a musician than she's popularly believed to be

[@florenciaamala6526]

[@enricovankeeken1624]

*i do too...Also, there are lOts of girls out there (boys, even) who nEEd someone like Courtney to kind of tell them/show them that you REALLY dOn´t hAve to be Miss Popular, or Miss have it all to be okay, and to DO okay in a world that in sO MANY ways isn´t okay in the first place*

[@RIOTEARTH]

Nah, she's a psycho and muses people to steal their work and pass it off as her own.

[@tonyp1376]

Very talented musician for sure but there's absolutely no doubt that she had Kurt killed.. between her affiliation with Allen Wrench, the handwriting samples found in her bag attempting to mimic Kurt's writing style, the PI she hired becoming convinced it was her. I used to want to believe it was a suicide and closed my mind to the possibility that it was murder but once I opened my mind and looked at the evidence there was no other conclusion to be found.

[@alexandramarginean8912]

Courtney is as hurt as Kurt. They both share the same childhood wounds of extreme neglect and pathological loneliness.

[@parapoliticos52]

Sure.. Ethiopian starving kids will pray in mass for her. Hunger is a trip, but Courtney.. now that's a person that has the suffering of Job.

[@alinazaranska9135]

You think ?

[@bruiseviolet777]

Courtney Love lacked the love of her parents, so I agree her childhood wasn't the best. But to even try and compare hers to Kurt's is laughable. She grew up privileged, a trust fund baby, who never struggled like Kurt did in her life. He didn't even have a solid place to live. Courtney at the age of only 18 could've literally bought the house Kurt grew up in with her trust fund money.

[@Peedarb]

She grew up as a wealthy trust fund baby.

[@tiffanybullrich2582]

she is a survivor and fighter. She always inspired me to keep on and not give up. She basically saved my life. With her music and her presence and her energy.

[@tonyp1376]

Not to mention her bassist dying within months of Kurt

[@babayaga5736]

It's not because of a few good Nirvana songs, it's because all of the evidence point to her being involved in Kurt's death.

[@auburnangel904]

Baba Yaga the evidence being what? Choppy edited clips of her??

[@johnroberts1616]

@@babayaga5736 Evidence? I don't see much evidence. She once said she feels responsible for his death but that is a typical reaction to the death of a loved one.... we always tend to blame ourselves thinking maybe if we had been better in some way they wouldn't have died. In the end, Kurt chose to take drugs and become a heroine addict and he acted foolishly. Everyone loves Kurt but he has no one to blame but himself for his poor choices in life.

[@kierancollins4342]

I am 16 and was a massive Nirvana fan, read books about Kurt was truly fascinated by him and I heard about Hole through him (obviously because I sort of missed the 90s). My first reaction was to find out who Love was and I thought if the man I idolised married and had a child with her then she must be awesome, so I checked her out and I love her. Hole are awesome. I don't know why Nirvana fans hate her so much!

[@marie-christopheleboucher9517]

Cette haine est infondée et pas justifiée. Ces fans sont des imbéciles.

[@peanuts666]

People deceive, lie & manipulate. They know what people wanna hear and hand it to them, or use it against them...

[@ShockResistor]

Many Nirvana fans dislike her because they believe she k*lled Kurt.

[@anorexorcist1991]

@@ShockResistorWhich could easily be proved false.

[@LivingInTheKaliYogurt]

Probably because she's a malignant narcissist and likely had Kurt murdered. But who can say, really.

[@JhonPsych]

Courtney really puts her heart in every song, I love her voice.

[@lindsayhengehold5341]

Courtney has a very distinct and different kind of beauty that I always admired in the 90’s when I was younger. Hole helped me to survive middle school in the mid 90’s.

[@ez665]

Lyrically and vocally, Courtney is powerful, raw emotion. There's such a softness about her really, so I can see why she acts the way she does. By soft, I don't mean weak either - she's probably one of the strongest women around to deal with everything she does. And she's got a wicked sense of humour. I'll always love her & Hole. I found them when I was a teenager and still if I'm sad at night, I'll listen to them for a few hours and feel alright again.

[@JustMusicAndStuff]

i have mixed emotions about her as a person but we will never know the truth.. i have always loved her no bullshit attitude & her song writing is great. i'll never forgive her holding onto Kurts last songs while playing them at her live shows!

[@mikmaqjij81]

And I cry and no one can hear Inhale The blinded eyes that see The chaos Bring the pitiful to me Even though I'm wide awake I will & blackest night & I wait for you It's cold in here there's no one left & I wait for you & nothing stops it happening & I knew I'd cherish all my misery alone And I wait staring at the Northern Star I'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere He's so cold he will ruin the world tonight All the angels kneel into the Northern Lights Kneel into the frozen lights And they paid, I cry and cry for you Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow I cried 'cause you were doomed Praying to the wound that swallows All that's cold and cruel Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude, They run to the pines It's black in here blot out the sun & run to the pines Our misery runs wild and free & I knew, the fire and the ashes of his grace... And I wait staring at the Northern Star I'm afraid it won't lead you very far He's so cold he will win the world tonight All the angels kneel into the frozen lights Feel their hearts they're cold and white And I want you And blessed are the broken And I beg you No loneliness, no misery is worth you Oh tear his heart out cold as ice it's mine And I wait praying to the Northern Star I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere He's so cold raining on the world tonight All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights And I pray begging to the Northern Star I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere He's so cold he will rule the world tonight All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights Kneeling to the frozen lights Feel their hearts they're cold as ice.....

[@elysiamanciniduerr2490]

This is my favorite song and a really good song for people to listen to who are grieving, as it really captures the sense of loss that comes with losing loved one. Apple tells me it is my most played song and listening to it non stop helped me get through the unexpected death of my father over a decade ago, and I still listen to it often.

[@Vf46]

They were both already musicians by the time they got together. A lot of Nirvana fans believe it was Kurt who wrote most of Hole's album Live Through This, because they do not want to believe Courtney could have done such an amazing record alone. I think they are both talented musicians who contributed to and inspired each others music appropriately.

[@fuckcensorship69]

lol. they played 2 kurt songs on unplugged. Corgan had to write their next album

[@anorexorcist1991]

@@fuckcensorship69 What about the Unplugged songs? That’s how you’re trying to prove Courtney is talentless?

Yes especially since this song is so poetic. He's been quoted as saying "If I could get her to publish her poetry, the world would change" (talking about her of course)

[@entertain7us148]

So I came to this video because this is one of my favourite songs from Hole (seriously, the lyrics don't get any more powerful than this), and I thought I'd go down into the comments section to see what others have to say about this masterpiece, and what do I find? 'Courtney killed Kurt.' Blah. Seriously, you guys can't even recognise that this is a beautiful song. You just have to bring something into it that has nothing to do with the music. You really bore me.

This is potent song. Celebrity skin deserves more credit then it receives and as well as Courtney, she is master with lyrics.

Courtney has not put a false foot forward in so many years. She's very real and her lyrics are brilliant explaining the hurt and suffering she still experiencing. I love the honesty.

[@MegaLoghome]

Lived across the road from Courtney's sister just outside Olympia back in the mid 80's. Wish I could share all the stories. The only one I think she would still remember with a smile is when right after we pushed her Volvo Wagon out of the ditch...how hard she laughed when we described "tipping cows"--the reason we were in a field after midnight. Never tipped one after that, but she later told me she tried.

[@cnilecnile6748]

Out of all of the tales that I have ever heard about her, this is the only one that I believe, I have met her, and she isn't anything at all like you see or read about. She is a totally different person, didn't wear makeup. Late '93. Very nice lady. I could totally see her tipping cows. at that age. We stole watermelons, because it was easier. I think she has that persona as a character, to shield herself from all the psychopaths in the industry. I respect her, and I enjoy her music, and her acting work, including her movie roles, lol. She's great, and I wish her well.

[@MegaLoghome]

@@cnilecnile6748 Thanks--I agree, she is a WAY different person off-stage. I knew her as a Mom and the sister to my neighbor, who I thought was also a really good person and took care of Francis Bean whenever their were a bunch of psychopaths interfering in just trying to deal with raising a kid in the mid 90's. Had to be hard but she kept smiling and laughing when she didn't have to be overly serious. And--I love her concerts, maybe even more than watching Nirvana back in the day.
