Fun fact: This song was meant to be an introduction to nirvanas album, nevermind, and was the bands first attempt at creating a pop song.

[@finna1002]

About a girl was

[@Cherry-pu4mx]

@@finna1002 About a girl still had a raw sound, but yes it incorporated pop melodies/riffs. An older song, love buzz, did the same. Those songs weren't attempts to enter the pop industry though, rather they were meant to draw a small audience to them while still allowing the band to enjoy their punk rock style and heavy metal influences. The band has always had pop hooks. You could think of sliver as nirvanas double downing on the pop melodies and adding studio polishing to their sound with the intent of actually entering the pop industry.

[@finna1002]

@@Cherry-pu4mx Kurt created about a girl to break the mold and try to invade the pop music at the time. Much cleaner sound than any of the other songs, and way more catchy

[@Cherry-pu4mx]

@@finna1002 About a girl attempted to experiment more with pop sounds. There was no intention of hitting the pop charts. Kurt actually fealt nervous by the release of, "about a girl" because it deviated more from his punk rock style. The reason he was experimenting with pop is because he knew that it drew in audiences. He never wanted the massive audience he ended up receiving, but wanted an audience nonetheless. The track was raw, not overly produced like sliver or the tracks on nevermind. The session to record all the songs on bleach took 30 hours in 2-3 takes. Sliver was the track that pivoted the band into the pop charts because of the amount of polishing and further emphasis on pop melodies and rifts. This was kurts baby to decide whether or not the band should go full pop. This is more clear when you realise tht sliver was released as a non-album single.

[@goodegg1]

I see lots of comments about how the lyrics are silly/simplistic, but it's actually quite impressive to create such an authentic voice/POV of a young child. Idk exactly why this song always hits me so hard...I guess it's because Kurt just actually transports me back to being a small child and the way it FELT. I always choke up and my eyes well with tears at the line "woke up in my mother's arms." Like I'm smiling, too. It's not sadness but just this huge rush of raw emotion.

bro this has remained one of my fav songs since i was a kid, and not just for its silly tone, but because it resonated with me. my fam barely had enough money, living in the suburbs of seattle, so my parents were constantly working, and i ended up being pretty much raised by my grandparents. there’s a lot of crazy stuff that’s happened in my childhood - between my mom and i, being an illegal resident of canada, living in a car on the road, living in a friend’s house, etc, but the fact that i resonated with this song in this sense since a young age says something i think.

[@jewelruiz3965]

Others may find the lyrics shallow and simply written, but I think it's clever. For me, this is a POV of a kid with nonexistent parents and was always left with someone else to take care of them (in this case, the grandma). In that sense, the words doesn't have to be too articulate. It's simple, realistic, and behind the happy tunes, lies the a sad truth that's happening to most kids. My interpretation only. I might be wrong, but this is how I see it.

The visuals of this music video are so cool and it’s so Nirvana. I love how this video shows off Kurt’s collection of anatomical models, figures, music references, and other weird stuff. The garage looks like an awesome place to check out. I love how they have a mudhoney flag and how Nirvana talked about bands that inspired them and found ways to include them in videos or the band tees they’d wear.

Fun fact, Kurt named the song sliver on purpose because he knew everyone would read it as "Silver."
