Nirvana - Plateau (Live On MTV Unplugged, 1993 / Unedited)

[@feliciah6993]

I'm am 41 years old and Nirvana got me through my teen years. Unplugged is by far their greatest album and performance. My son is 11 and learning guitar and all he wants to learn are Nirvana songs. It's cool hearing him and his guitar teacher(who's in his late 20's) talk about and play this music I love so much!

[@garysimonson1135]

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).

[@doublecrestedcormorant]

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 Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds See a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words You've 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 was fun Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds See a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words? Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood But those were all just guesses Wouldn't help you if they could Testing one, testing two Cover your hair and your eyes 'Kay, this is called "Oh Me"
