Nirvana - All Apologies | Singer Reacts |

[@mage1439]

I've always loved "I wish I was like you, easily-amused." I know it's probably more to do with his darkness, but it sounds like a fun way to call someone simple-minded.

[@rickkadets5139]

The opposite is actually true. There’s an association between boredom and intelligence, according to several studies. However, the common belief that it equals lack of creativity or capacity for recreation is a mistake. In any case, higher intellectual abilities are definitely indicative of less boredom.

[@pfenton9315]

He was actually referring to his young daughter at the time this was released

[@mage1439]

@@pfenton9315 That's actually really sweet. I really would have loved to see what he would have made.

[@Rcprobot]

It seems like a genuine desire to let go of the cynical nature that can come from depression, and a longing for that child like innocence, to be easily amused with the simple joys of life

[@kentuckyjerk323]

He's talking about his daughter. Think about when you were a kid and didn't understand the problems of life. I miss being easily amsued.

[@rickkadets5139]

A lot of people hate on Nirvana and Kurt’s talent. They can’t reconcile how good he was doing very little. The music is uncomplicated, but undeniably very good. People would sell their souls for their rapid and atmospheric success. Nirvana didn’t just change music, it changed style. Women in the 90’s gave up spandex and big teased hair for low rise skater jeans, tanks and flannels, and flat combed hair

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Honestly, it's a lot harder to do something relatively simple that's so memorable...the Ramones were masters of that. If you have a construction crew and a lot of expensive equipment on one hand, and one guy with a hammer and some nails on the other, and the guy with the hammer still builds you a house, it's a great deal more impressive.

For someone labeled "the spokesperson of a generation" to have his head down and say "What else should I write? I don't have the right..." just breaks my heart. He was a beautiful person and I'm so happy he gave his music to the world. I feel the same way as you when listening though. Sometimes I can't bear it because it's so heavy, but then life comes along and I'm drawn right back... It's his empathy and sincerity that make the music cathartic, and not just entertainment. Thank you for your reaction; your honesty and emotion mirrored his beautifully.

[@CitizenScorn]

30 years ago today (4/5/24, the date of this comment). Rest in power, Kurt. People are still discovering your art all these years later, and feeling the same way we did when we were young, and you were still with us. I hope you would have liked to know that. 💙

[@krisfrederick5001]

"It might be nice to start playing acoustic guitars and be thought of as a singer and a songwriter, rather than a 'grunge rocker' you know? Because then I might be able to take advantage of that when I'm older, and sit down on a chair and play acoustic guitar like Johnny Cash and it won't be a big joke.” -Kurt Cobain Summer 1993 Well, you did, and we loved it. Didn't sound like a man planning to leave to me. Happy belated Birthday Kurt. R.I.P.

[@foofghtr]

Kurt and me are the same age, I was so proud someone from my age group became literally big as the Beatles. Nirvana has sold 75 million records to date. If you noticed Kurt tune the E string back up, it’s because this song was written in Drop D tuning. When you see the price of concert tickets today, I’ll let you in that it costed $17 a ticket to see Nirvana live in 1993.

[@joshklein6450]

Thank you so much for this and for your wonderful deconstruction of such bittersweetness. He is absolutely crying/pouring out (and crying out) through his voice and lyrics. Incredible. Evocative, profoundly sad, completely vulnerable and wholly human. Thank you again…brand new subscriber and fellow musician/teacher/eternal student.

[@TheyRiseBand]

Watching Dave play so gingerly with reeds cracks me up, every time I see it.

[@riiidhoo3824]

in this case the ''everything is my fault'' just hit different

[@Darren_Kelly]

This unplugged performance was Kurt Cobain showing the world that he is so much more than just a front man in a grunge band, and he has so much more to offer. And when you listen to it you can’t help but wonder what could have been. The world lost out on so much great music the day Kurt died.

Last song on final album. He knew he would not make another. I have always felt this was him saying good bye.

[@carriepybus8929]

Yes! 🫂🫶

[@TheTrequarista]

Except that he wrote and played this song long before In Utero, before quite a few other songs by the way.

[@ok9908]

Dave Grohl said it himself, the song seemed hopeful at the time when In Utero came out and only after his death did people start "connecting the dots" and trying to find clues everywhere. William S. Burroughs said that upon hearing about Kurt's death, he bought the album and looked through the lyrics but all he found was the same energy he felt when they met at his house. He didn't feel like Kurt was saying goodbye, it was just his style of writing or whatever.

[@kevinabraham9260]

But it wasn’t the last song he recorded…..so sorry to kill the drama, “you know your right” go ahead and tell me how that song the actual last song he ever recorded is so perfect and linked to him being dead months later. Doesn’t fit as nice does it….. Kurt had no plans of suicide

It's hard to watch that Unplugged, though I love it very much. I was a senior in high school in 1994. They had just installed TVs in each homeroom, so we could watch a program called Channel One with Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling telling us the news, smashed between commercials. I'll never forget the morning, the day after, Anderson Cooper telling us at 8:09 in the morning what had happened.

[@jackgreentree9616]

I think someone either with the MTV team or his nirvana crew said that Kurt was adamant that he didn’t think he did well and that it was an overall poor performance, despite the whole world feeling otherwise. He was trying to kick heroin and was struggling with withdrawals as well as a bunch of stress/nervousness at the time. I also read somewhere rehearsals for this performance were less than stellar so I think him barely looking up probably had a lot to do with him trying to lock in and be perfect, as well as maybe being embarrassed it wasn’t that good (in his mind)

[@stuartcallaghan3285]

I did read in one of the books that after it he was extremely happy about how it went.

Gosh, you're so right. It's really hard to watch his MTV live performances sometimes without crying, just knowing what happened to him and the inner turmoil he was dealing with. I remember the day in 1994 that we heard the news he had died. Rest in peace Kurt 🙏

[@TheDaveman75]

I can remember the first time I heard Nirvana playing at a friend's house as clear as anything. I can also remember the moment I found out that he'd died which says a lot about their impact over 30 years later. Not many people or bands that fuse themselves into your consciousness like that

Was a great show, but a bit rough in the middle of a crazy crowd (came back home with a few bruises, cuts, smashed toes and a missing tooth. I got it about your apologies (we're from the same country, so I understand what you mean). Greetings from Montreal & have a nice day, Ray.

[@davidkillion7775]

There's a thing that happens here that is now lost to music. Out of 6 instruments, 3 are out of tune (in the modern way of looking at this). The 3 in-tune are the drums, cello and Pat's acoustic. The bass, Kurt's guitar and Kurt's voice would not be allowed on a modern recording as they would be corrected to make them "in perfect pitch". You could do that but you would completely ruin the performance and the song that it is. The out of tune drone in the background of the song is what gives it such an impact and a platform for the lyrics. It is so rare for modern bands (and I mean really, really rare) to be allowed to put a part in that is not in perfect tune that the beautiful effect of recordings like this are possibly lost forever. The "music industry" discovered autotune and at that point, they destroyed music.
