      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).

      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.

    "Plateau"
    (originally by The Meat Puppets)
    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
    There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
    And an illustrated book about birds
    You see a lot up there but don't be scared
    Who needs action when you got words
    When 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
    There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
    And an illustrated book about birds
    You see a lot up there but don't be scared
    Who needs action when you got words
    Well the 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

      Most humans suck. They are either selfish libs or fart right monsters trying to start another world war.
      Some humans care and make the world a better place like you and me.
      And then there are just.... LEGENDS like Kurt : )

    I love Nirvana, I was going through (and still am) depression. I really really struggled and my only safe place was Nirvana and really music, music helped me escape. I never wouldve descovered this song if it werent for my friend, (who i also like) he loves this song and i dont blame him ive never heard it until right now.
