      Lithium was my favorite song growing up in the early 90s when I was about 7. It is very oddly soothing. I think because it's incredibly raw and real sounding.

    You can rly notice the double vocals, if I remember correctly he didnt wanna double the vocals on the tracks but his producer explained that this is how John Lennon would do it most of the time. And that made Kurt more accepting to it.

    • @nope110
      @nope110 5 років тому +197

      He hated the production on this album, it was over produced and not raw sounding like he liked, while this sounds objectively better than bleach or in utero, the actuall sound on those 2 are far superior to, in kurts words, the 'squeaky' sound on this

      True. That’s why I don’t miss him. Because I just knew his music and talents and those are still with us. When he was alive most of us just watched him playing on tv and even if u went to a couple concerts there’s no way to miss him cause there wasn’t a personal relationship. I do miss my best friend who passed away a couple years ago but I don’t miss Kurt Cobain cause all that I knew from him was his music...and I still can listen to it or watch his videos .

    What a natural at multi-tracking his voice. If you listen really closely you can hear one's a bit more ragged than the other on those section, but timing-wise, it's as perfect as you can get. Damn.

    People have no idea how tight these vocals are, to make double tracks sound this good,so identical that they almost sound like a chorus effect on one single track, it takes a good ear like kurt’s to pull off something with this quality, and an amazing producer like Matt Wallace as well. Even though Kurt wasn’t technically proficient as a vocalist he was an amazing song and melody writer, and he had visceral and raw and very powerful vocals.
