This was their last recorded song and wasn't released until 2002-2003. Dave Grohl and Krist Noveselic had to battle Courtney Love to put this song out as she didn't want it released. It's funny because even at the time this was released it still fit right in with modern rock radio.
@@robbob5302 Of course she wanted more. It's also a song very critical about her and she wanted to stop people from hearing it. She needs people to believe that up until his death he was so deeply in love with her and thought she was a living angel.
I remember the excitement and chills I had when this song was released. New song by Nirvana years after Kurt's death. Like it brought Kurt back to life just for a few minutes. Sweet and sour feel.
Nirvana has been my biggest band growing up, and when this song was released i knew just how bad kurt was hurting through his final months, and how trapped he felt. even Dave Grohl says he can't listen to this song anymore because he hears nothing but the wails of pain and not an actual chorus. he feels this song was kurts cry for help and it fell on deaf ears.
nirvana often did a multi track for kurts voice. its him with himself, but good job recognizing that. because its him on top of himself its really hard to pick out, but you got it.
@@emonymph6911 Kurt would do a double take, simply recording himself twice and playing both tracks together. It creates an amazing vibration among the two tracks. Michael Jackson did this as well
@@ANT1989 Fun fact, Kurt wasn't really a fan of multi track vocals as he considered it inauthentic, he wanted his music to be as raw/punk rock as possible but the producers, Krist and Dave eventually convinced him to keep it this way. Honestly, I doubt Nirvana would be so appealing to the mainstream if it wasn't for harmonized vocals
I highly recommend you listen to the first and only live performance of this in 1993 at the Aragon Ballroom. It is so much more lyrically, sonically and just far more powerful. Knowing it was being heard for the first and only time live makes it even more haunting. This was the last song Nirvana ever recorded in a studio, the same Dave would record the first Foo Fighters album. Imagine.
I personally think the song perfectly captures the melancholy and fake upbeat projection kurt put on for a while.. Especially if you think about when this was recorded..
@@energ8t bro we never ever knew him, if his best friends and bandmates said it was suicide... i believe it. With that being said, it does NOT mean that Courtney love had nothing to do with it
I was name dropped at the start! First song you've reacted to that I suggested.. I appreciate it 🙏! Avenged sevenfold - save me thats my next suggestion 😊 Thank you for the reaction dude!
I wish all people who did reactions to songs would look at the lyrics while listening to the song. He’s not saying yea yeah yeah he’s saying pain pain pain
Actually its "Hey" not pain, most people think it's "I have never failed to feel pain" but its actually "I have never failed to fail" followed by Heys in the chorus. If you isolate the vocal track its more obvious, but even just listening to the song if you try to really focus on the pronunciation you can hear the "h" sound instead of the p sound
As their final recorded song, this is a good idea of the direction in which Kurt's writing and the band was heading...IF...Kurt had lived and if Nirvana had stayed together.
One of the more interesting songs from them musically you can hear the Pixies in there but if the Pixies rocked this hard and had way better vocals they would have made a lot more money.
Nirvana’s most “Alice in Chainsy” song. Kurt supposedly told Courtney Love “I just wrote the coolest Alice In Chains-like song” referring to this track which went unreleased until 2002. DH, I think it was a bit of resonance on the “Heys”. Sounds like Kurt recorded multiple vocal tracks there but I don’t think he threw in a buried harmony to make it sound more melodic
@@OGGOAT23 umm ok. since you know all about Kurts musical taste and such and were able to access his head, please do tell me when Kurt said he didnt like them and provide a source. Kurt and Layne hung on a few occasions, had mutual respect for eachother and Kurt DID like and relate to the album Dirt from whats been written. But I will defer to the expert and mind-reader OGGOAT to educate us all first...we are waiting
I guessed your score correctly for once! When this song came out I was disappointed because I was expecting a masterpiece. And it's not. It's a slight song. But it is supremely well executed. It's in the 7s for me. Thanks as ever for the reaction, always interested to hear your take.
Agreed. The true Nirvana masterpiece from that era (just before Kurt died) is Do Re Mi. The only version is super lo-fi and recorded with bad equipment, but the song itself is so strong it shines through: ua-cam.com/video/EMT64q_2fM0/v-deo.html
First time hearing this I had just got back from Iraq. I was riding around with my cousin when it came on and I thought it sounded like some crappy Nu Metal band at first. Then I found out it was Nirvana and felt bad.
This song tell everything. Coutrney love did something to kurt and manipulate him to became so negative person, ans love write that suicide message and Drug kurt and used his hand to shoot him..
great song isn't it? Can you make a reaction, lana del rey - west coast. If you haven't listened to it, check out the song, it's a really great song. here is the link if you want to see the live performance ua-cam.com/video/vepSxfntGa0/v-deo.html
It's not YEAAHAHHHH.... I have never failed to feel... Paaaaaiiiiinnn... It is not a violent song... The conflicts are with himself and his inability to deal with, well his own inner demons, and the way they hurt him and those who are close to him. This was actually the last song Nirvana produced before his untimely death in 94 I think? Many including myself believe his death was not a suicide, but in fact murder... His wife Courtney Love is the suspected culprit.
I am just gonna put in there that he never was suicidal. Yes, he had a lot of inner turmoil. Yes, he was an addict. But the only person who said he was suicidal was his wife, whom he was actually about to start getting a divorce from. She was a terrible influence on his life. She stood to lose a lot if that happened, so I truly believe she had him killed. There were so many things involves with the crime scene (like how the empty shotgun shell was on the opposite side of him from where it should have ejected to, despite the fact that there was no nearby object for it to bounce to the opposite side with), and the toxicology report (3 times the lethal dose of heroin, that would have left him incapacitated) that just didn't look like a suicide. But since she had stated her concerns about him being suicidal to the police shortly before his death, that is what they determined it to be. They just basically took her word for it.
That’s because he isn’t saying pain. I have never failed to fail…hey hey hey you know you’re right. That is a great line written by a great lyricist. People mistakenly think he says i have never failed to feel…pain pain pain… you know you’re right. these lyrics would be written by someone who just finished the book song writing for dummies. Proof: ua-cam.com/video/aFgNujeCKyw/v-deo.html
@@Stockhandle123 Yeah seems like you are right, that’s great. I always thought he just sang ”hey” until a friend told me about the pain part, and when you google the lyrics it says pain in there aswell.
Bass is Half stone lower. Last song nirvana recorded together. Looks was the song Kurt use to confirm what he was about to do four months later. So sad.
This song honestly has never jived with me. Not really a fan of the main groove with the thin guitar over it. Also, the chorus doesn't really impress me.
![Nirvana- You Know You’re Right [REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
This song never fails to give me chills. The vocals and the melodies are amazing.
Kurt is known for having some of the best harmonized vocals. The harmonies on heart-shaped box are some of the best of all time.
true
EXACTLY
I love kurts harmonies, up there with Alice in chains and system of a down harmonies for me

Ironically, Kurt originally wrote this song FOR Courtney.
For her to sing.

This song is brilliant.
It was released ten years post-humously and in my humble opinion s one of the greatest Nirvana songs.

React Nirvana SERVE THE SERVANTS (with lyrics). Great track! Greetings from Brazil!!!
The song is obviously about Courtney Love
It even the can of way of the lyrics is different from the other Kurt`s songs, this is more directly, not metaphors or play on words
YEAH YOU PROBABLY RIGHT MAN I SAW THE LYRICS ABD ANALYZE IT AND FEELS LIKE SOMETHINGS FISHY MAN THERES SOME MESSAGE IN THIS LYRICS MAN
Last song they recorded and it was released somewhere around 2002-2004ish
2002, not 2004.

This song was recorded 4 months before Kurt's suicide.
3 months

Last song they recorded.
Im glad you loving this love this song 🙏❤
Kurt's magnum opus.
And his swansong.
As their final recorded song, this is a good idea of the direction in which Kurt's writing and the band was heading...IF...Kurt had lived and if Nirvana had stayed together.
It was never intended to be a single..they just dug out what they had recorded while Kurt was alivw
Supposedly it was for the next album
3:50 "Which leads me to believe A".... " or 2"... . Made me laugh with that one David!
Awesome review David....BTW the "course" he sings pain
I love the part when it goes
Paaaain.... Paaaain... ❤
Nirvana is a master of the soft-loud-soft song dynamics pattern.
Wasn't this the only song they completed during a three day recording session and great job
Correct. They had a short time off during the in utero tour and kurt failed to show up the first 2 days of the 3 days they booked
I’m not a huge Nirvana fan but I love this song. It’s just great!
Nirvana really made great use if the loud/soft/loud/soft style. Check out the song - milk it. Same kind if delivery.
She just wanted to love herself..."
Wholesome
No, the original version of this song was never mixed down. Thats why his voice sounds that way its the raw.
Miss you Kurt
One of the more interesting songs from them musically you can hear the Pixies in there but if the Pixies rocked this hard and had way better vocals they would have made a lot more money.
This song was nirvana’s very last song, and the last song to be somewhat professionally recorded
I'm. No musician but my guess on the background sound was the fact they were actually a 4 piece at this stage. My guess is it's Pats guitar
This is best nirvana song for me
You should react to some songs of the Bleach album, the best album of Nirvana

Yes I did not pick up on that its like a Pixies meets Alice In Chains type of thing great song.
