      I know you understand already, but simple does not mean bad art. Sometimes it takes visionary levels of talent to come up with something without fat. Something simple but without wasted notes. It's the same with painting - not all the best paintings have the most fine detail. Fun fact this was a deliberate rip-off of "Eighties" by Killing Joke. They even admitted it after they were sued for it. The cool thing is that a decade later Grohl did what I consider his most solid drumming on a self-titled Killing Joke (2003) album.

His "suicide" letter was more like a retirement letter, until the very end...in which the writing becomes different. There's an interview of a man that admitted that he was hired to kill Kurt, in the background, you can hear someone scream "someone help me/us!" And they pause, and laugh it off. The "hitman" was dead a week later. Kurt had enough drugs in him to tranquilize a "literal elephant", he would've been passed out, too intoxicated to do anything before he had the gun loaded, and dead men don't wipe away prints. Someone set this up and got away with it. And look who gained the most. Look who read her husband's letter to an entire crowd. Right after he died. It MAY have not been her, but it was someone close to him, and 80% of the time, it's going to be your spouse.

    My favourite Nirvana song. When I first heard it I had strong images of water - the video bears this out. I can't say I understand the lyrics, but it feels to me that he's using water as a motif for the dissolution of everything - friendship, hatred, life, everything becomes meaningless with time. The gun reference is very dark & perhaps prefigures his suicide. It's a very nihilistic song, but oddly one I don't find depressing. You have to confront these things. 'Here lies one whose name is writ in water' - John Keats' gravestone.

Grunge was influenced a lot from punk and metal. I was in high school during the '90s. When rap and alternative rock were breaking through the mainstream from the underground. It related to many of us Gen X.🎸 lot of us were tired of the commercialized, fakeish hair rock in some way if I recall.

      None of those bands worked in garages wearing corduroy. They were punk hipsters. Most grunge musicians at the time wouldn't understand an engine from a wheel. They were the reject kids who were into art and music. In fact, they couldn't stand the typical macho guys they grew up with in small towns in Washington or wherever. That's why they focused on their music. They absolutely did NOT want to end up in garages wearing corduroy. They grew their hair long, wore mac jackets and torn jeans. Sometimes they raided the used clothing stores and died their hair.

      I was the grunge target market, unemployed and angry young guy who felt lied to and couldn’t get an education or a job. Roamed the streets angry with my friends in the same boat, wearing flannel and jeans. We just left the 80s that promised so much and felt the 90s pulled from under us. Grunge spoke for me

      So because of your experience, anyone who grew up with gearheads and drywallers but liked Nirvana and Pearl Jam was...what? Excluded? Because they didn't "live" the grunge? LOL. Yeah, okay. I held down jobs with cockroaches nesting in my Sega Genesis, bruh. And I saw all "your" bands come up in the High Times Hot 100 while still collecting cassettes in the Midwest. Spare me the "we invented flannel" nonsense. I have a junior high yearbook shot that disagrees when Kurt was probably still wearing velour and a feathered part in his hair.

    I think Lex has a point. This has kind of a chill vibe to it, for a Nirvana song. He seems more like he is "talking" to the listener on this song more than his usual scream, yell, ranting pissed off voice. Another great pick for a song. Check out Polly from this album for lyric's and investigate what the song was written about.... Heavy topic indeed.

    Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of listening to the alternative rock station in Toronto (CFNY - the same station that by chance Rush sang about with "Spirit of the Radio"). Anyway, there was a female disk jockey and Kurt had just killed himself. She was really emotional and upset. She had just played this song, and part of the lyrics are "I don't have a gun." She was so upset that in fact, Kurt did have a gun and killed himself. She was upset that he gave into his depression, but ended up hurting the people around him. It was a strange time. It's hard to explain just how big Nirvana were at the time, and then for him to suddenly be gone. They were selling out concerts around the world, and just about everyone in the western world knew the band, whether they liked them or not.

    The lyrics of the song describe Kurt's experiences from heroin addiction. The line "Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach" is taken directly from an anti-drug campaign run in the USA at the time Kurt wrote the song. The gun references are a poignant reminder and portend of the tragic end to Kurt's life.
