Nirvana - Lithium (Acoustic) (Kurt Cobain)

[@Sektion9]

The purest form of the song.

[@kurtcobain628]

i think lithium should have been played for the unplugged show

[@robertmohammed3973]

He's performing live on a radio station, before nevermind was released.. The lyrics aren't finished yet. Plus his voice wasn't as deep and raspy like it would be a few years after this.

[@ironmaidenfan66670]

This IS Kurt. you can tell by the way he screams 'hey';he sings from his stomach. and Dave's voices is much deeper than Kurt's.....coming from a Nirvana and Foo Fighter fan.

[@HawtCookiex3]

hee eeee eeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@comatox8782]

lmao

[@42chimchim]

God. You just hear so much more in these solo acoustic versions than you hear in the studio versions. He is just so expressive, so personal. Now, the studio versions are still some of the greatest stuff ever recorded, but these are so much better.

[@CleCleHavez]

and btw, kurt always changed the lyrics to songs. he got bored of doing the same thing repeatedly

[@pedrodelrei]

Or maybe that's because he was too high to remember the lyrics

[@odiumimbues]

Pedro Guimaraes kurt had more brain cells still after being fucked up than most people though. little of y our scenario, but mostly probably focusing on the music and getting caught by the music before words.

[@xTHExCOPYx]

+odiumimbues pretty sure he had no brain cells after he blew his head off.

[@TALKINGtac0]

My favorite: "I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there, And I don't care, I'm so retarded, ??????,"

[@Rance-kq3dc]

I'm so lonely, that's okay I shaved your head I'm not sad, lol i'm so scared

[@Sully...]

+Yifan Zhang He was funny. :p

[@BrunoSep182]

If God give me a wish after I die, all I wanna do its give a hug on Kurt and say "thank you for your music"

[@alexmaric5007]

Bruno Alves you wouldnt wish to bring him back?

[@CleCleHavez]

oddly, it is kurt. strange how he sang it like that, totally out of his usual style. but it is him.

[@GOHABSGO125]

ya this was when he wasnt famous, its an amazing passionate version. and kurt voice is different but still fn rocks

[@daveed2589]

Better than the studio recording

[@KerreyTheBitterSugar]

this song always brings tears to my eyes.... so beautiful and touching... I so wish Kurt was alive now

[@mugtub7281]

obviously this is the great Mr.Cobain. amazing...

[@HelloHolaCiao]

I love this version so much for some reason...

[@Fayt1984]

this a good vid i love that album all the acoustic on those 3 disc is sweet

[@ThatRantKid]

I bought the with the lights out box set and I like these solos as if not (if not more) then the actual album versions. So inspiring. Sounds like he could just pick up any guitar and strum any chord and sound amazing doing it.

[@davidnadav2223]

We cry 😢

[@KiloQram]

this is so perfect

[@2pacalypsenow]

This is sooooo good to play and sing along too.. I'm new to the guitar but I love it so much! Even if I get it wrong I can just pick it up again and sing... Cobain = LEGEND!

[@Tdiddyandthefam]

That's how the song was originally written and recorded in the Smart Sessions, "Yeeeeeahhheeyyyyy." Good thing he switched it though!!

[@CuteBrands]

My fav nirvana song

[@MeryKate]

ahh i adore this version of his

[@edmirrodriguesfilho3814]

ESSE É O CARA NUNCA VAI MORRER!!!!

[@haha1233221jk]

i love how you include the lyrics on the songs

[@mariaaulfa]

I miss him so much

[@speakingmymind3228]

This sounds so good better than the original tbhhhh

[@denestud]

man i just like the accoustic version,, its sweet dude

[@grungekurdt]

es de lo mejor que eh escuchado...gracias

[@mtm7292]

That's the spirit of Kurt, yeah hey ;)

[@newrealization12]

I've gotta find me one of them fleece sweaters. Looks freaking comfy.. this song is great

[@Glenno1971D]

Not easy singing & playing acoustic to a song like Lithium.

[@aaronestes2704]

Glenno1971D lol maybe not the singing part put its an extremely easy song to play. i love playing it i play along every time i hear it but its not hard, which is the beauty of kurt. his simplicity.

[@arono9304]

Aaron Estes he means to do both at the same time

[@packiemcreary7188]

+Glenno1971D Its actually pretty simple..

[@ina08049]

i'm so ugly - that's okay 'cause so are you.! :D such a great guy!

[@toho2290]

เพราะมากเลยครับ

[@popcornstand39]

no he was on the radio in 1990 and he played this. This is really Kurt

[@jakelineleal5796]

Love

[@u2befan001]

Kurt is the master of the six strings and the voice of a bunch of generations; Jimi is God

[@ratte8987]

im so happy

[@ditchofglass2]

ya it was on sliver, a set of old nirvana tapes that they put together on a cd. its got demos and stuff too.

[@Shamoo28]

i like the acoustic version too!

[@laynestaley1990]

oh yes...sooooo genious....

[@1234kmilo]

ooooh maestro me logro convencer.. que voz tan tremenda ojala haga mas.. seria bacano escuchar la de all apologies

[@SuperFiore12]

estoy tan conenta por que hoy eh encontrado a mis amigos, estan en mi cabeza..

[@BlackCaptain1709]

magic...

[@davidnadav2223]

great man

[@reflectwhatyouare689]

It is Kurt, and if there skeptical people then you should go look for the version where you can listen to the whole broadcast it was recorded in 1990 for KAOS FM, in that version you can hear the host Calvin Johnson introducing him saying "here is Kurt Cobain from Aberdeen" and after ome words he starts playing Opinion and then Lithium

[@elbowdrop3596]

YES kurt

[@likelylike]

to bad he never released a solo album kurt is awesome and that song is modern blues

[@mastropiero22]

very nice!! i really liked it!

[@ramisama88]

YEYEYEYEEEEEEEEEEEE YEYEYEYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH

[@odiumimbues]

adamlewis, i have the cd and yes this is kurt.. this is just to show what "selling out" can make u sound like.. and this should put a better perspective on music for our generations to come.. cause all you need is a good tune and nobody can take it from you.

[@ThomasM42]

The song is taken from the album "Sliver the best of the box".

[@JuaneRamone]

Sounds Weirds, but in some high tones u can perfectly hear Kurt ^^

[@cd4194]

@LayneCobain88 he knew it would sound bad. he's fucking with us

[@susanramos7442]

awesome

[@Jose-el6gi]

No shit mate

[@Josh-og9sv]

+José Gallareta Sorry but curry is illegal in my country.

[@Qrtistan]

fantastic!

[@loquenderomatias]

No kurt,you are beatiful :3

[@barneyscousin]

yes

[@BTown787]

Yea, and also the fact this was a demo recorded in 89'. 2 years before Nevermind was released.

[@Melvinator]

awesome.......

[@scenscoff]

@TreyMvZ yew it is it sounds like kurt we know when it was recorded and its in sliver and with the lights out

[@christinejautee2308]

Bravo!!! Superbe!!!

[@u2befan001]

you are right...

[@19Heights89]

It is Kurt bro. its a home recording. I Ordered a Sliver greatest hits album(er something like that). it was on there as home recording

[@jakespacecadet]

This was Kurt recording by himself without any editing or overdubbing. So of course his voice isn't as low (especially without Krist and Dave screaming into their mics with him)

[@r3v3ng3r666]

@ivanzhopepper hm.. you should listen lithium live versions, some of them are with changed lyrics.

[@Shiek200]

Just because YOU don't like them doesn't make them shitty. >.>

[@HiTTiNGREC]

No Kurt,you are great!!!

[@ledxzeppelinx182]

this must be very rare i'v never herd i b4 but yah cool song

[@gerian001]

This was on the With The Lights Out box set -,-

[@aligantor]

@HitaroX that version it was recorded wen he was go to that station on radio and that version it was recorded acoustic live i gues it was an interview

[@commierocket]

@Avanz91 it's on one of the outcesticide albums, and a few others troll.

[@arthur_r626]

How da fuck does he sing like that

[@Shiek200]

Fair enough, I'm just saying, disliking something doesn't make it bad. For instance, I LOVE Nirvana, they're one of my favorite bands ever, but I think that Amy Lee can sing circles around Kurt any day of the week. Doesn't mean I like them more or less than each other.

[@AustinD45]

To everyone that says it's fake... it was on the damn With The Lights Out box set... so yeah... it's not fake... get over it lol.

[@mihalyponyiczki1855]

@bleachfan1776 it's D standard, you have to tune all the strings a tone deeper

[@Ekyvvsaq]

@WILKINSON0987 "Damn it, Jack, I'm a listener, not a doctor"

[@veronicachic]

this is sooo cute i wanna eat him

[@nathanneedham9401]

+Johnny Christ Prolly both m8

[@gibbon.enthusiast]

Ghost what

[@RodAgu08]

i concur

[@cheats59]

@LilC2012 yup pretty much this is a great song love this version more execpt for the course.

[@abracarand]

Although I LIKE lithium, I think the best one is aneurysm...it's powerful..anyway...nirvana kicks ass!!!

[@silenciosniperion]

@0GrandTheft0 i totally agree

[@HKUnbound]

I wish there was a full version

[@Izaak247]

'broke all mirrors' ahhhh I thought it was 'look a mess"

[@TreyMvZ]

@scenscoff ya ur right its my opion and ur opinion

[@glitchriz]

@DrFringo That's Kurt.

[@IDareToSpeak]

he was composing the song in this tape

[@Santiagopauli]

some people thinks this is a cover! its kurt man!

[@unchicollamadoham]

@crimsondevil2245 sorry, at first the voice sounded strange ... but I definitely love this version

[@VillaLo]

This is Kurt, in a radio station

[@Jbot747]

I love this acoustic performance, but I hate that theirs no live footage

[@MsCg9]

@JaCkMiChEaLs0n But at that time it's what he wanted. If he felt the recording was pure shit the final product wouldn't have been on Nevermind. It's not just that it's Kurt singing it. It's that we keep in mind what it has become. If you've ever seen anything of the band live he sounds like this. It's raw and it's what he sounded like live. We can't know what Kurt wanted to be out there. Have you ever heard "Spantk Through" or "Ain't it a shame"? It's all different noone knows what he wanted ou

[@aligantor]

its kurt is form live version on radio

[@yuval7171]

it is kurt its on the CD hehe

[@wowguy217]

Actually, it is Kurt. It's from the Nirvana Box set, "with the lights out", wich you would have know if you had read the description.

[@gerbilstar]

True, I guess it is him. I wasn't 100% sure.

[@loyola3000]

sonrie kurt cobain ahun vive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@godverdommekutkutkut]

The guy was so depressed you can hear it good voice but strance that nobody could help when he sang he wanted to die. He wasn't exactlly hidding it

[@luismaaah]

Always thought that the song said: I'm so lonely, that's ok, I shoot my head.

[@LarryalShiva]

+Zoo logico hahhahahaha now i feel bad for laughing at that

[@Therango32]

He says "I shaved my head"

[@LarryalShiva]

Therango32 He said* ... MUEHEHEHEHEHHEH

[@IM-lf5qp]

wow so ironic

[@lost6571]

kurt cobain the best
