Me too. I'm not without a father but as Kurt said, "I love my parents but I disagree with merely everything they stand for." He's a father figure to me, and Courtney a mother figure.
Of Course! That girl deserves the Best! It's what he wanted! She should never have to worry about anything! Kurt was Da to a lot of people! I love him and he lives in my head rent free! Of course! My immortal.
@@raymondbeechner5749no kurt didn’t come up with names for most of these tracks. this one is completely nameless and the reason why it’s called letters to Frances is because it plays when Frances is on screen.
Okay, how the fuck is depression an old friend? It makes you feel like shit, you're not motivated to do anything. You're tired, sad, and miserable all the time. If anything, it's a toxic person you need to cut out of your life
@@riverh6998 totally agree But considering this is to frances farmer who then wrote a song about her saying i miss the comfort in being sad i can get where the guy is coming from In my experience sometimes when i look at days filled with depression weird enough i miss some kind of comfort
Whenever I hear his song, it's like I go to this place In my mind, where I'm in a small cabin, in the middle of nowhere and im sitting by a fireplace, watching the snow fall outside. A very peaceful moment just warms me when I listen to this song.
Yes, that is the message, but I dont believe it is his own pain he is transmitting. I think he is portraying the suffering Frances Farmer endured. I could be wrong.
The fact that you can hear him picking the strings makes this song even better it's so raw and it's like you can feel Kurt Cobain's pain through the guitar, man such a talented guy R.I.P Kurt Cobain one of the best rockstars out the there. A loving father, husband , and a great musician❤️
Jonny and how do you know this was made before 92? Sounds pretty late to me more mellow acoustic Kurt I don't believe the man hardly played an acoustic before MTV unplugged
He did record a lot of acoustic demos between 88-94. And he would also use a bass if he wrote some bass lines and sometimes use his electric in replacement to his acoustic. But it wasn't all that mellow up until 92 or 93 the way it seems.
I almost feel like he was singing a lullaby to Frances, & came up with this melody, but instead of singing what he told her, he let his guitar do it. Like a secret message lost to time, but full of love & kindness & strength.
Kurt cobain such a pure emotional soul the pain was just to much for him to stay and he chose death to quite the demon of depression that was tearing him apart.
This is the song you hear when you're in the elevator into the next life. I think he remembered it from a memory he had stored from one of his previous lives.
Coraline. I just watched it last night so I had the melody from the movie soundtrack stuck in my head. Almost sounds like they could have ripped it off. LMAO
Tomorrow’s the 30th Nevermind album just make’s me sad that Kurt never fit in with the norm and he just wanted to be dad to frances. it’s sad that he’s gone but the good thing is that her dad’s presences is around her every day.
Especially when he has done more for us than some of our own parents. It's weird how you can find solace in strangers and grow to love them so much without ever laying eyes on them.
most beautiful guitar song in the album. I think this song make the album beautiful. also Brett Morgen want to make this album for Frances. not for Kurt.
+ghkdtjdguq1 brett morgen didn't make this album. he's just a prick anyway. taking a bunch of recordings that have existed for twenty years and putting them into a sequence, whether it be video or audio, isn't making anything. fuck brett morgen.
+g1g2g3g4g5gt they all existed before dude. This is all old shit and Kurt is dead so he can't be doing demo´s it's all from some old cassette's that Kurt recorded on and shit and some tracks where on bootlegs like With The Lights Out : for example Beans
Offender Have you listened letters to frances, rehash, what more can i say or the yodel song before? Although most of the songs are crap, it is always good to listen to Kurt Cobain and his classic, unique and distintive sound. Personally, I think they should have published it free on the internet. The mistake was trying to make a profit (continue profiting) with him. If they had published this cd free, it would have been a great (and emotive) gift for their fans. Anyway, I like some of the songs and you can remember again how genius he was, he is the most creative artist I know. If he wanted to, he could have been beethoven or something like that. I'm serious, he is a genius but he has never studied music. His songs are incredible dinamic, they have an outstanding melody and they are someway nostalgic, I listen A LOT of artists and I have never heard something like him, he is from another world.
I know this song wasn’t intended for little Bean, but when I hear it it takes me back to those old windsor wooden chairs, sun shining through the window being so little that’s all you really think about it, the observance of everything, so small that you can’t even understand human language, just the feelings from everything around you, and those are warm because you don’t yet understand the world or anything in it besides what you can see which is usually soft and sweet because baby things just are, well that. It reminds me of a toy bunny with pink and yellow and blue fading quilt patches (Maybe I had one I can’t remember though) it reminds me of such a simple time the notes are whimsical and soft almost like your in a fuzzy dream just like the memory of being a very small child which is what I have when I hear this song it takes me back to then in the strongest way that anything else ever has before. It makes me sad knowing that I live in the world I do and that my feelings were all false and that I can never fully feel the same as I did then, because I have depression and I can’t see the world or life in such a innocent light way, it’s so dark, but at the same time, I can be put back in that memory and mindset for a little while with this song and that brings me some comfort at least 💕💛💚 thank you for writing this Kurt, I love you and how you know how to actually bring feelings to music, not just the popularity and fame, which doesn’t even really matter. sometimes the sound of a guitar can mean way more than lyrics and bring way more feeling than you ever thought it could.
I will find my way for u. cause thats what you want me to. I will find a way. I will find our way. now we lay in our bed. now we lay in our bed. we lay in our bed. we lay, we lay. I will keep my heart for you. cause thats why you love me do. I will find a way. I will find our way. now we lay in our bed. we lay in our bed. we lay in our bed. we lay, we lay.
I had a gf named Frances. She should have waited for me but didn't. Now I'm mad rich and art heading to moon. She believed in me, but not quite enuf. Not quite enough. I don't lie.
O land of perfumes, may your people find faith and unity, togetherness and boldness to get through any troublesome situation. My the light of Paris tower always keep your hearts ignited with a will to find resolve and resolution to all that's heartbreaking. O France, how your Luis Pasteur misses you and loves you. Never stay away from my heart. May the songs of past and future speak your romances, and may all your injuries find healing. And there's so much to say, but I say the words and let the heart pray. Stay blessed, my beloved country, for you are also a home in the home of hearts. and so are your people and all your souls. And I, may not be able to ferment the best of the words for you, so may your people find that vaccine, to lean, on something. To lean on something. To lean on something. To lean against your countrymen is the best vaccine, the people you love and rejoice.
Genji there are two sides to every coin. Doesn’t mean the coin is any different because everyone describes it differently. The fact that we’re all here says something, dicking around or not
Lets be honest, he was zonked out his head on that dog food and recorded this sloppy garbage. Not good, at all. Cool to listen back to but not enjoyable. 3/10.
Bob The Boss Saget did you really come to UA-cam, look up this song, scroll to the comment section, and type this comment to express your opinion? If you don't like the song why did you come to it in the first place you dipshit
John Shears it was in my recomended videos you pansy so no I didn't search this song, it seemed interesting so I clicked. It was interesting, but that doesn't hang me that this "song" is bad. Quit crying because I have a different pov than you.
Bob The Boss Saget so if it was in your recommended videos that means you had been looking at something related to Kurt Cobain previous to this video, most likely doing the same shit as you were in this comment, expressing your uncalled for criticism. Btw, your argument structure makes it very hard to understand your material.
John Shears "WAHH HOW DARE YOU HAVE AN OPINION THAT ISNT MINE" that's you rn bro, calm down. It's not that serious. That song blows, end of discussion.
Bob The Boss Saget I HATE THIS SONG SO IM GONNA COMMENT ON IT TO TELL EVERYONE WHO LIKES IT THAT ITS GARBAGE! That's you right now "bro." You're a fucking idiot, I think the reason you think it's garbage is because you could never IN ETERNITY create something as beautiful as this. and you're jealous beyond words so you resort to calling it garbage.
As someone who's born years after Kurt has passed, this feels like a warm hug, from a father figure, from a pure soul.
so we're all fatherless and obsessed with kurt huh
Just gonna tell you that Kurt was not a pure soul, none of us are, even with Jesus Christ, we can never be truly righteous.
Me too. I'm not without a father but as Kurt said, "I love my parents but I disagree with merely everything they stand for." He's a father figure to me, and Courtney a mother figure.

This song defines depression being an old friend better than words can.
And how is that? Depression kills...
Okay, how the fuck is depression an old friend? It makes you feel like shit, you're not motivated to do anything. You're tired, sad, and miserable all the time. If anything, it's a toxic person you need to cut out of your life

A cultural icon is so sorely-missed!
So talented and truly missed! I'm curious to see what music he would be doing now!! RIP Kurt
@@Tommy_Oliver you mean courtney love,right?
It's like you can feel that hurting and suffering in the chords, it's haunting.
Sounds like he is giving up as he plays- used to be how I played lil
Yes, that is the message, but I dont believe it is his own pain he is transmitting. I think he is portraying the suffering Frances Farmer endured. I could be wrong.
@Philip Kerr exactly xD
Jesus Christ.
Nah he was just sloppy
I don't know why but something about this feels so nostalgic and comforting in a way that causes me to cry
Same, it's hard to explain

I don’t think playing guitar brought him pain, fame did that but I’d like to that that, while he played, he found some happiness in it :)
@@Ghostcon86lmk where he said playing brought him pain. He said he told his pain through playing guitar.
Am I the only one who bawls my eyes out when I hear this song?
You're not the only one. my tears fall involuntarily every time I hear this
I’m so numb I can’t cry
MY CAT TRIES TO GET INTO, UNDER, ALL OVER THE PHONE WHEN I PLAY THIS - IT IS ADORABLE, THAT SHE GETS SO EXCITED ABOUT IT..
You can feel how long the depression has been there on his shoulders sitting on his back the way he just plays says everything
Such an underrated guitarist.. Kurt was a blessing to us all
Can you imagine the beautiful melody he would have composed if this was a full song?
This is for Frances Farmer not for Frances Cobain, don't be fooled.
+Norvydas Slankauskas How do you know that?
g1g2g3g4g5gt cause he was obsessed with her this was before Frances was alive
Jonny and how do you know this was made before 92? Sounds pretty late to me more mellow acoustic Kurt I don't believe the man hardly played an acoustic before MTV unplugged
He did record a lot of acoustic demos between 88-94. And he would also use a bass if he wrote some bass lines and sometimes use his electric in replacement to his acoustic. But it wasn't all that mellow up until 92 or 93 the way it seems.

Letters to Frances
As in frances farmer
the woman actor he was obsessed with
Not his daughter Frances
Chris E if you look at the album it has this song and it’s name is letters to frances
its his daughter Frances
Philip Garcia spot on
Yup, its to Frances Farmer. This was release before his daughter was born
WGTS it was written before she was born
This song is so beautiful I don't have the words to describe it. What a genius, beautiful soul.
I love this song sm. It reminds me of a time when I was happier. Thank you Kurt.
I love how he let those last notes ring out.
This sounds peaceful. It literally feels like a hug.
I almost feel like he was singing a lullaby to Frances, & came up with this melody, but instead of singing what he told her, he let his guitar do it. Like a secret message lost to time, but full of love & kindness & strength.
Kurt was a very underrated guitarist
Maybe, but this isn't a very compelling example, that's for sure. Some of the solos on Incesticide are pretty insane though.
What are you talking about? Do you even know what a guitars supposed to sound like? This is a horrible example..
dulac I agree I thought his guitar playing in this song didn’t sound that good either
supposed
Ever try playing "Come As You Are", while singing it at the same time? It's super hard. Even easier songs like "Drain You" are pretty challenging.
Kurt cobain such a pure emotional soul the pain was just to much for him to stay and he chose death to quite the demon of depression that was tearing him apart.
what a beautiful and pure soul
love your profile pic :)
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It feels like a dream
My God, why does this sound SO familiar?
ethan anderson No it sounds more like Heart Shaped Box
This is the song you hear when you're in the elevator into the next life. I think he remembered it from a memory he had stored from one of his previous lives.

@@holyroli9956 well said. Him and nirvana are the reasons I still keep going.
