So sorry for your loss. Nirvana was a truly magical band and that is so awesome that you are able to connect these timeless, beautiful songs with her memory. If you haven't, you should check out other Nirvana albums like Nevermind, In Utero, Live at Reading 92, and Live at the Paramount. Nirvana completely changed the face of music forever during their relatively short existence (1987-1994).

I feel the same way. I’m only 20, and I was born years before he died, but reading his diary entries and listening to his music brings some sort of strong connection to me. I understand his depression and the way that he felt about himself. Maybe it’s weird but it’s almost refreshing for there to have been someone who was so famous and loved that had the same issues as I do.

Lyrics: Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs actions when you got words When you're finished with the mop then you can stop And look at what you've done The plateau's clean no dirt to be seen And the work it took was fun There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs actions when you got words Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Some said it was Greenland and some said Mexico Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

Thanks for this !

[@lotusfilms6082]

I grew up listening to Nirvana in the 90's as a teenager. My ex boyfriend when I was 28 abused the hell out of me. I would escape to a mini playground in the apartment complex listening to this,and dreamed of one day putting music,and my thoughts together in video. Now its happening,and haven't seen that dumbass in over 13yrs. Good ridance! Also thank you Kurt. I know you were in pain,but despite that It's unfortunate I will never be able to tell you how much comfort you brought to me when I felt worthless. RIP 🙏

Glad those days are behind you, but you can still carry Kurt and Nirvana with you until the end.

The Outro (which is beautiful) as it begins and goes on, is in your face w/ its beauty and then it seems like Kurt Cobain starting to hum was an ‘in the moment’ thing and guitar Kirkwood realized it, loved it and dialed himself back so that those hums could come through; just wonderful...

Hi Hola

[@chrisb3142]

Ridhuan AB imo it’s about hitting plateaus in life like we all do whether it be work, working out, music etc Just my opinion tho, Kurt wanted his songs to mean whatever they meant to you not what it meant to him, although this isn’t his song he picked it for a reason to cover.

[@leemarkmywords4643]

I'm 44. I bought this album at the age of 17. It was my first CD ever and I still have it. I used to sleep listening to this album after returning from parties, late at night. It would give such peace inside. Nirvana has been my favorite band ever since. It will always be.
