Nirvana - Blew [Early Studio Demo]

'Blew' An early, studio version of the song featured on 'Bleach'. Recorded 6/11/88. The chorus is slightly quieter and the solo is noticeably different to the album version. Most of these have been converted from lossless audio .FLAC files

Blew in the making, how cool is that! Kurt was a genius.

I think it's a recurring theme in Nirvana's music to have a demo with better riffs, but a final product with better lyrics.

[@ConnorJW96]

The riff seems the same to me, just a bit slower.

[@dyr234]

Both versions are awesome

[@murdoxxed]

Just improve and change the chorus lyrics to the final Blew version and this version would be set with the lyrics.

[@landoflogic107]

The lyrics are probably improv.

[@camacaron06]

Buttercup III Kurt finished lyrics last moment. It’s expected for Early studio demos to be drastically different in the context of lyrics when it comes to nirvana.

[@teenageangst666]

Love how the first sound guitar makes is a haunting chord

We were in a garden wastin' time And we were in love and like to blew We were in a garden like to blew And if you wouldn't mind I would like to choose See it, believe it, need it, is it sane Is there another reason for your name Is there another word that is your name And if you wouldn't mind I would like to blew And if you wouldn't mind if I'm overdue Let me sit it down I would like to use And if you wouldn't mind I would like to choose Is there a reason never seem insane Is there another meanin' with your name Is there another reason for your stain Is there another ?

I put the song in Audacity and isolated the vocals. Kurt was really mumbling on this one. Ronald's lyrics are really close, but I noticed some differences: We were in a garden wastin' time And we were in our love and we like to blew We were in a garden, like to use And if you wouldn't mind I would like to spew* Seen it, believe it, need it, is it sane Is there another reason for a name Is there another, horny, next to me And if you wouldn't mind I would like to blew And if you wouldn't mind if we overdo** Let me sit it down I would like to use And if you wouldn't mind I would like to grew*** Is there a reason you never seem insane Is there another madness--To make you mine Is there another reason for your stain Is there a meaning for this--I'm insane Is there another time for most to fade Is there another madness for this soul / meaning for this song You could be anything x3 You could do anything x5 * With the isolated vocals the 'sp' is clearly audible. ** "Overdo" as in "overdo it and have a fit"! I guess "fit" means orgasm. ;-) *** Also much easier to hear when isolated.

[@vidarengeseth5024]

Cool version indeed. This song is on one of the outcesticide bootlegs.. P.S The best version of Blew is without any doubt the Live & Loud version! What a genius idea to put cello on the HEAVIEST SONG EVER! :-)

I love how at the end of the "and if you wouldn't mind" lines he holds it in by the end of it. Such an odd detail i noticed, but its because i love to hear Kurt's voice in this version, the chorus sounds very Pen Cap Chew.

Oh my god we are wasting time We were in a love and we liked it good We were in a garden liking you And if you wouldn't mind I would like to shoot See it, believe it, Need it and is it sane? Is there another reason For remain? Is there another molting in this domain? WoooAAAHH! And if you wouldn't mind I would like to brew And if you wouldn't mind it was over due And if we sit down I can write to use And if you wouldn't mind I would like to chew Is there a reason you never seem insane? Is there another reject in this domain? Is there another reason for your slay? WoooOOAH *amazing licked guitar solo* Is there a reason why this be's the same?

Ok, anyone who says that live & loud version is better. You have your own opinion, I just don't give a flying fuck. That gig is terrible. That is just my opinion so f it, we all can have a debate. I prefer Teatro Castello and Amsterdam much better. Peace, love, covid19 emphaty.

[@mikesgarage18]

Live and loud is definitely a bad live show. Seems like Kurt doesn't want to be there at all. I have been watching some of the Rokkslide show, it's definitely really good and there is pro footage out there, I'm wondering if there's gonna be another high quality DVD like the Paramount one, of Rokkslide... which would be so epic!!!!

[@mumbles215]

The paramount show was recorded on film. Not even video cassette. Most likely 16mm. That’s why it looks so killer. Most things outside of major Hollywood movies were shot on video cassette. TV shows and all that. so it was a little uncommon by 1991 for them to use 16mm which is much better. From what I read that is the only nirvana show shot on film. Actual film. That’s why it looks so great. Film is much better than video cassette and more realistic than digital
