STATE of MINE - Heart-Shaped Box (NIRVANA cover)

[@grimhrothgarthorbjorn6173]

My good friend taught me how to play this on guitar. He took his own life when we got back from Iraq. This song brings me to tears every time since.

[@sjgavenger37]

My condolences

[@loganblakely8931]

I’m so sorry for your loss..

[@lauramorrison4308]

I'm so sorry that happened prayers and sorry for ur loss hun thank u and ur buddy for ur service thank u both for protecting me and my kids salute 110% love u

[@lavedadavis6024]

He will live on not only in your heart/memory, but everytime you play.....he will live on through what he taught you. You will always be able to keep his memory alive.

[@vampirebarbie1982]

This is so very sad

[@davonnasteele2943]

Kurt I believe would have loved this. FANTASTIC!!!!

[@Johnatansutton]

Kurt would be proud of this and the cover of Infamous second son by Dead Sara

[@jay-thetruth-stone12]

I can't stand you dude and for one reason. I never thought anyone would ever be able to cover ANY Nirvana songs and actually do a good job. Someone finally did it. Right on man, you're the shit.

[@kenma8806]

If you are going to cover a Nirvana track, this is the way to do it.. The visuals in the video speak as much as the lyrics.. Solid!

[@shanealan2995]

Very nice take on a classic. The pauses are nice and powerful. Epic!🤘

[@Mr_Landfall_MTG]

People hate on artists that cover this song but don't say shit about covers of Zombies from the Cranberries. This cover is bad ass as all hell and will be blasted in my car for days on end.

[@CodesInURFace]

I think the problem with that statement is that you think that Zombies and Heart Shaped Box are the same caliber song.

[@TheVerucAssault]

I think people hate on artists for covering it because it's about Courtney Love's vagina. A lot of Nirvana fans are still pretty convinced she had him killed. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/courtney-love-tells-lana-del-rey-that-heart-shaped-box-is-about-her-vagina-192019/ "You do know the song is about my Vagina right? 'Throw down your umbilical noose so i can climb right back,' umm," wrote Love to Del Rey. "On top of which some of the lyrics about my vagina I contributed. So umm next time you sing it, think about my vagina will you?" [SIC]

[@williamgibson6630]

This was my brothers favorite song and the last song they played at his funeral from an overdose… the first time I’ve had the courage to hear it in 3 years… crying my eyes out man… wonderful job!

[@Panic.]

One of few nirvana covers that's actually really good!

[@zyxkon8235]

One of the best Nirvana covers of one of the best songs. A cover should not try to be a carbon copy of the original but rather a chance for artists to show how they would approach the song and add in their own touch and artistry to it. This cover right here is concrete evidence of that and is by far the most powerful version of “Heart-shaped box” I have ever seen.

[@annanicpon9398]

Nirvana was my very first musical inspiration when I was little. This cover blows my mind. Kurt's voice was different than the rest. He was special; nobody could do it close to him, and y'all fucking blew it out of the water. That's raw talent. Jay do you realize just how fucking great and different your voice is!? That rasp!! So many would kill for a tiny bit of that!! Fuckin rock on! y'all are gonna be huge and I promise I will be front row one day!!🤘

[@elizabethcase8776]

Just found this group. Really liking the music. Thunder Rolls long version, better than the original. I'm in Texas, so that says something. God's country is amazing as well.

[@yortriaf176]

Man, this is not only an OUTSTANDING cover.. but the music video and visuals blew me away.. wow. The symbolism... the mask, the hourglass.. the tar - like toxic substance that gets transfered onto the other as time goes on.. the gasoline and lighter at the end of the video.. wow. Great job on this. This is so good.

[@holtrobert112177]

This was my absolute go to band in the 90's... They are what made me start playing guitar... State of mine completely blew me away with thunder rolls so I'm really looking forward to this!

[@Reecerobinson1984]

Omg his voice is so hypnotizing I love this person I saw him on Facebook and I just had to look him up every song that I've heard from him it's freaking amazing I love it

[@danascott1158]

Oh my goodness, I'm so excited to see this...FINALLY! Being there was awesome, but seeing the end result, AMAZING. Jay, Matt, Mike, Aaron, you all did a phenomenal job. Eileen, I have no words for your performance. You killed it! I feel like a proud mom, you kids done good!!

[@TheRonin248]

I’m here after the Thunder Rolls video. Definitely a new fan. Love your interpretations of these songs and keep them coming. Suggestion: Tennessee Whiskey. That’s a challenge to do.

[@CarolynDestruction]

We’re here again my friends. State of Mine we enjoy y’all’s hard work and we appreciate all of y’all’s time in making music and doing covers. Would love to see y’all in concert someday.

[@SageCoulee]

Wow. From the state of Washington here, Kurt Cobain land.... you did so much honor to this song. Kurt would have gave a humble nod to you.

[@10pointDefender]

You released on the last SUPER moon of the year! Strawberry moon! The energy and timing of this release....I hope you are all ready for the fame about to poor down on you! 🥰❤🤟

[@brokenwrench404]

Last super moon of the year, not the last full moon of the year. Full moons happen every 29 days and at least 14 times a year.

[@10pointDefender]

Duh my bad...I knew that...lol

[@karleenandsawyer3112]

HOLY SHIT. killer video and vocals are point on!!! Keep all this awesome music coming. Love this

[@marilynsgirl01]

I am a hard Nirvana cover critic because I loved them so much. This is beautiful and brought tears to my eyes.

[@deitrickmayer]

Have you heard the cover of smells like teen spirit that was in black widow? I can't think of the artist. It's pretty good, not amazing but I definitely think it is worth a listen.

[@marilynsgirl01]

@@deitrickmayer I haven’t but I will look for it. Nirvana was everything to me at a point in my life.

[@deitrickmayer]

@@marilynsgirl01 it's always amazing to me how profoundly music from all genres can effect someone's life. Music that I listened to growing up that I was only listening to because I thought it was cool, now have deeper meanings and have gotten me through some tough times in my life as an adult. Nirvana has had this effect on me many times.

[@ninjabreadman733]

Have to say at first sight I was like wow Rolo the Viking sure can nut some tracks out… love the version remember when the original came out cobain rip would have no complaint with this awesome version you gave it the justice it deserved..

[@swimfan3326]

I had been watching the teasers on tiktok, glad to finally see the end product. AMAZING!

[@bignick64]

Awesome job! This is great. Kurt would be proud. 👍

[@tiffanyelms6075]

I'm shocked! I looooove this version! It was never my favorite song,but now I will definitely add your version to my playlist! Awesome! And this video,holy freakin crap! Visuals are amazing

[@Grumblesnort]

Wow. I was a little wary going in because Heart Shaped Box is my favorite Nirvana song, but this was amazing! The people being overly critical seem to not understand that covers are meant to be homages that honor the original song while adding the cover artist's personal touch. If you want a clone of the original, just ... listen to the original.

[@rrhonii]

Well said 💯

[@michaelross4915]

You ever had to rewind the song and start it over because you weren't prepared of how good it was

[@richardatchley9028]

Right, I started it and got a minute in and wanted to restart myself. Lol

[@naticrane6325]

Holy crap this is amazing! So inspiring!! Love the video concept and the spin that was put on this cover. Incredible!!!

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

There's a BIG difference between a band doing a cover & a band putting a GREAT new twist on a cover! Great work guys. (true art)

[@darschpugs4690]

great job on the cover.Yall made it hit harder and more symphonic at the same time with out changing the original feel. goiing to have to hear more from you now.

[@geefbird]

Passed my "Heart Shaped Box" cover criteria. It gave me goosebumps in the first 10 seconds. Awesome cover. (edit) For the record I did listen to the whole song and my saying it was an awesome cover is based upon that and not the first 10 seconds lol

[@sarahvick5784]

I'm in love with y'all's music!! So much depth in y'all's voices!!! A new era in rock has begun don't stop

[@sharayahholland2398]

Wow didn’t realize this song is actually about Kurt Cobain’s heroin addiction. Thank you for shedding that light. Ya’ll are so talented!!! Adding you to my playlist!

[@Bweezy903]

Holy shit. This just melted my "90s rock fan" face off. I was already a fan of yours, but now Im hooked and excited for the next one!!!!

[@scottl499]

These idiots degrading this must not understand music or what Kurt did to open the door for bands like this. Don't like it but stayed long enough to post a comment, must of wanted those few seconds more of the song. Keep it up State of Mine, amazing cover!

[@EmpireFanProductions]

BADASS cover here guys!!! You did this song justice, Kurt Cobain would be proud! 🔥😎👍🏻

[@mrenigma7134]

This song being monotized on KZbin alone, would be enough for Kurt to hate it. Lmao.

[@MrSanchez159]

i made a comment about this song being too clean and that i deleted because i was an asshole but Kurt was a punk, this version was way too overproduced and cash grabby. kudos for the band and all but this version is the opposite of what Kurt would want his legacy to actually be

[@mrenigma7134]

@@MrSanchez159 Very well said. It is a good cover and all, and if you separate it from Nirvana; it's actually even better. But Kurt really would have shook his head at anyone thinking this would make him proud. Lol.

[@kispie]

@@mrenigma7134 I just like how people are talking like they knew him personally. Like he wouldn't have changed over the years if he were still alive. Frankly, no one knows if Kurt would love or hate this cover today.

[@mrenigma7134]

@@kispie Kind of presumptuous, don't you think? The only thing we can go off of is what we did know about the guy while he was around, we don't need to leave it open to "His points of view and interests may have changed, therefore he would've liked it". When comments like that are made, it's using what was widely known about the guy, while that information was relevant. Lol. What we do know for certain, is that while he was alive ... He would've voted against this. He would've absolutely loved that someone had made an artistic cover of his song -- he would've hated the fact that it was put up on a platform for monetary purposes.

[@kyliebaby1391]

I knew this would be amazing from all the teasers you’ve posted. So much passion and literally made it your own rather than cover. I can imagine Kurt rocking out on his cloud to this, like “hey Chester, have you heard this band’s version?! Sooo cool man”

[@karendawson3478]

Omg!! I love it Jay!! You guys are awesome!!

[@10pointDefender]

I seriously got chills and tears! I'm so happy for you guys! 💓

It’s not often I’m willing to say someone’s done Nirvana better than the original.. BUT YOU GUYS DID! Way to go Jay!

[@wolfyranger262]

Jay you are awesome! Love the song so bad ass!! I'm so glad I found out about you guys

[@dustinsilas6483]

No disrespect to Kurt but Jeezus this slaps so hard! This is pure fire and sounds as twisted as it should.

[@shaneschilling589]

Right bro

[@archivistdarrowphayne2432]

Holy shit, this was an epic redition of Heart Shaped Box. The production on the video was super high quality too. My only complaint is you don't credit the actress of the demon in the description! She looks so damn familiar and it's killing me! Great job guys!

[@erebusros7807]

I agree with that man.

Anybody know who she is I thought the same thing
