Nirvana - All Apologies (Lyrics) (In Utero) (Kurt Cobain)

[@neovanit]

kurt's and dave's voices fit so well with each other

[@Mooseplatoon]

@BrookeEmber Yeah, he speaks in code, and later assigns meaning to it, and lets the reader attach meaning to the cryptic words as well, pure genius

[@emanuel2011]

Why would even two people dislike this? Were you expecting someone else when you clicked on the link?

[@KurouAkuma]

just in case anyone is doubting the acuracy of the lyrics in the vid soon after the album was released they released the lyrics coz due to the way Kurt used to read most ppl didn't understood (some still don't) so no it's not "proceed from shame" like some may think no matter how weird it may sound it is "aqua seafoam shame"

[@giuliano116]

That is a pretty cool theory but I've lip-read a few of the live performances most notably MTV: Unplugged and he definatley sings "Aqua seafoam shame". But I like that theory :P :)

[@myangelofmusic]

I'm so glad my mom listens to bands like this.

[@geekydiplomat]

i'm always in a trance everytime i hear this song...

[@THEBIGZED]

So, from what I've read here I take it that in the booklet of 'In Utero' it actually says "Aqua seafoam shame". However, knowing Kurt and his sense of humour, he might have put the wrong lyrics in there just to mess with our minds, when in reality he sang "I'll proceed from shame" (which would make a whole lotta more sense) or "Opposite of shame" or something along these lines.

[@ReservoirDog1026]

this is my favorite Nirvana song :]

[@silentforce125]

@buggiesdad My favourite youtube comment so far...Good work!!

[@TheGunmaster23]

@iluvmusic2300 its the generation we were mean for and no matter what people say nirvana will live on forever with its amazing music and im with you on learning REAL music and REAL rock at a young age because alot of people in our generation now don't know what good music is anymore

[@cave_dweller6]

dude, the album comes witha lyric booklet that has "aqua seafoam shame" Nirvana's lrics don't always make sense, but they're great, and so is their music

[@eamobo76]

Great tune, ah miss those days..I remember doing a cover version of Smells like teen spirit in 1992 in my first band :) when I was a teen :)

[@Mooseplatoon]

@laurasamj "Dave Grohl joined the grunge group Nirvana as its drummer in 1990 after the break up of Grohl's previous band: Scream. In order to occupy himself during tours, he took a guitar with him and wrote songs. Grohl held back these songs from the band; he said in 1997, "I was in awe of frontman Kurt Cobain's songs. And intimidated. I thought it was best that I keep my songs to myself."

[@AntuanPace]

all in all is all we are i LOVE it!

[@Razzdamon]

love the guitar rifts

[@elsietapil868]

Miss this artists

[@Daemonocracy]

@BoysLikeMeee normally when people hate jocks, it is because they got their ass kicked by them. The grunge scene was a counter response to glam rock and bands like Motley Crue, Van Halen and Guns and Roses, the sound and image are "dirtier". I grew up in the grunge era, but now that I look back, this is some really depressing shit and glam rock bands like Skid Row are so much more fun than the anger and angst put forth by grunge. Either way, I grew up in a great time.

[@TravelinRosy2025]

I FEEL THIS WAY AT TIMES ; (

[@manunited910]

I understand Kurt was the true genius and madman behind nirvana's music, but everyone always forget's about dave grohl. I mean it's no coincidence Dave has been in two extremely successful rock bands and even was successful in TCV as a side project.

[@Snarkyone1965]

Yes, it is "I proceed from shame" not aqua seafoam shame, lol!

[@andmaketherain]

I dedicate this song to my ex-friend Leo and his love at the time Amanda. He played this song all the time while with her. Hope you are well man, wherever you are.

[@PoomMondo]

then let's make our music generation just like the 80s and 90s, we have a lot of people here that born in 90s-00s that love nirvana, foo fighters, pearl jam, alice in chain. btw i was born in 1997 (sorry for my bad english)

[@jtucker813]

I believe that is what he is saying, pretty sure actually. what i'm wondering is when people make these lyric videos....where are they getting these lyrics from?? I used to always rely on the inside of the album sleeve or CD or cassette tape LOL....to know the lyrics but that is not done anymore. I am old, if you couldn't tell lol!!

[@ayanxoxo]

R.I.P Kurt.

[@dogpuppet]

I was taking the piss out of the guys who transcribed the book dude for not interpreting the lyrics correctly, you miss understood my comment.

[@madmen269]

@misspanacea ummm he actualy said all alone is all we are

[@luckynutz4380]

He sang it in different ways but I personally feel and this is MY OPINION only. That it is,.. I'll take all the blame, I's conceived (from, or for,) shame. Some born free as a bird, choking on the ashes of her enemy. And I hear all alone is all we are. And that's only at the very end.

[@THEBIGZED]

It doesn't really matter though, a great song is a great song no matter what, and he may have even wanted that people wouldn't always be exactly sure what he sang or what his songs were about.

[@Mooseplatoon]

its "all in all is all we are" listen to it closely, theres no distinction, try at the end, its pretty clear

[@mattmann111]

i miss you sunshine...

[@CrazyWally33]

@dariobr83 No, its not. It's clearly "All in all is all we are." Listen to the song.

[@TomMaley]

still wow....

[@OliverSplat]

2:21 my favorite picture :)

[@Bogmired]

is it "all in all is all we are"? or "all alone is all we are"?

[@hanklemieux123]

is the drummer for Nirvana now the lead singer for The Foo Fighters

[@cheshirerc]

Different people sang the song and transcribed the lyrics for the Album.

[@Fiqus]

murried yeah!!!!

[@THEBIGZED]

All in all is all we are.

[@xtalv]

@iluvmusic2300 You'd need to be born in the 70s! And it was great.

[@AntuanPace]

this song is amazing! MARRIED!...BURRIED!

[@xxStRoNgOxx]

@piggyfatt GENIUS

[@iamthewalrus604]

@iluvmusic2300 same here im 12 and i love nirvana.... without out nirvana there would be no hannah montanna crap........ my life is a lot like his as an upcoming teen, and a lot of the things kurt sings bout i can relate to, and other ppl ( the techno crap lovers) they listen to kurts lyrics and they have o idea what hes talking about and they think his words are crazy. but i think every word as a meaning and when you put them together they make a meaningful message to say!!!!!

[@wormseeker]

Is it me or does the lyrics seem to change a bit whenever he sang it? It sounds a little different on unplugged.

[@left4dead91]

on my In Utero CD all opologies is 30 minutes long? 0_0

[@OLAxDevilHunter]

@tollstamer i thought that until i bought the album but i think it suits it better dont u

[@methodize808]

I thought "all I know is all we are" sounded like, "All I know is I'll be gone"

[@smallclone]

@StabbyFork FAIL! read the lyrics sheet inside the cd cover.

[@piggyfatt]

@xxStRoNgOxx LMAO you get it!

[@AntuanPace]

all in all is all we are

[@0ffen]

@iluvmusic2300 Other than all the people out there, telling you you're wrong and all. But, I believe they didn't understand you. I think you were talking about the songs today are all about getting f-ed up, and how great it is. And yeah, That's great and all, but can't we all come to the conclusion, that, rock-Grunge, alternative, Every Genre, Has some drugs, and most people have problems even if they say they don't. Cause everyone does. --Also you're wrong. Nirvana has a song about Marijuana.

[@0ffen]

@iluvmusic2300 They also have many other referances to other drugs, as well as queens of the stone age --"Feel good hit of the summer" (With Dave Grohl.); and honestlly. There's always gonna be some little shit that goes and says, OH, yeah, lets go get fucked up for the sake of getting fucked up, but then there's the person that does it to ease their mind, for the sake of putting themselves back into reality, and to make them feel good enough to make something and call it their own.

[@Travass83]

@iamthescott1 sounds like he said that as a word to disguise (I can see folks shame) but yes that is what he says ppl in another country made a thing on it

[@giuliano116]

lool xD!

[@ldylkr]

I thought he said "All alone is all we are".

[@THEBIGZED]

Sometimes theories are a lot better than reality ;)

[@Kyrzak12]

when did Kurt had blue black hair ?

[@IntelligentWisemanTV]

me too

[@AntuanPace]

is that what hes ACTUALLY sayin or it just SOUNDS like it? is that what u're sayin?

[@0ffen]

@iluvmusic2300 And What about M.V. (Moist V*gina) Nirvana made that song -- it was about sex and weed. Same with Gallons of rubbing alcohol flows through the strip. -- If you don't know totally what you're talking about, you need to research it. Nirvana had alot of non-mainstream stuff, too. My personal favorite is the last song i said. xD

[@Mooseplatoon]

@dcdude171 I don't think he wanted to disturb Cobain's genius work, The Foo Fighters never would have happened if Cobain hadn't have died, he felt inadequate compared to Cobain, and never approached him with his work, i'm glad the Foo Fighters existed tho, great band, not my favourite tho, mostly due to the media over-saturation, they treat him like Cobain jr. its retarded

[@emilijapetrovic58]

@buggiesdad i think they wouldn't hire him even there..

[@Shikunisai]

Wow it's so ironic how he said, "Everyone is gay." This was his last song :P

[@iSmellTeenSpirits]

Dude, the music of 2009 is nothing compared to the music back then.

[@IntelligentWisemanTV]

ik how you feel I'm 15 and I know good music

[@Tomasz271000]

Thats what I was thinking of the first time I heard this song after knowing Bieber LOL

[@brownybum123]

isnt it all alone is all we are?

[@makdle66]

R.E.M, Losing my Religion, and this one are probably among the top 10 of the nineties, and put to shame the disasters that are barking sounds and doing a lot of shaking nowadays. When you are a great singer with great material, you don't need any stupid tricks to camouflage how bad your "art" is.

[@dcdude171]

ive always found that funny like why didnt he do more background singing if he was capible

[@TommyRobin1115]

namaste~*~ LibraAnne All In All Is All We Are AWAIAA

[@iamthescott1]

does he really say aqua seafoam shame?

[@cheshirerc]

Aqua seafoam shame lol "I'll proceed from shame."

[@dogpuppet]

In the bass tab white pages it says all in all is all we all.. . that shit don't make sence..

[@hanklemieux123]

that is a good question maybe he didn't discover that he could til after Kirt Cobain's death

[@dcdude171]

back then it was the 90's is funny how fast music gos to shit lol

[@brunobb1]

@xPeaceLoveNirvanax I don't like being happy...being happy is gay, HAHAHAHA

[@TheRenaissancePen]

+JVA+

[@rokrspi]

@iluvmusic2300 but then ud be old like me lol just make sure u don't turn out like they SAY he did. i don't believe that story but still..

[@kinetikwun]

@Snarkyone1965 hAHA

[@cvsrubicon]

aqua seafoam shame...?

[@BoysLikeMeee]

@brunobb1 Kurt loved Gay people. Because he hated jocks who thought they were cool. They are the opposite of cool.

[@RATTlovergurl]

dude thats exactly hw i am

[@marthanyc]

yeap....he's married and buried...Why even bother apologizing?

[@smallclone]

@Snarkyone1965 FAIL

[@piggyfatt]

All in all Lasagna

[@HandsUp12100]

If you like Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, you should at LEAST know how to spell the names of the band and the person.

[@sraaju]

These lyrics make me laugh, there so off. Nice try.

[@darkhearts05]

what else coul I say ? BIEBER IS A GAY !
