This performance is why I love Courtney. She never hid anything and showed the world the meaning of perseverance. She's a tough and beautiful soul. And her music helped me to overcome a long period of suffering. When she gets into the hall of fame I'm there. And she will be the first and last person that I will celebrate as such.
@jgrignard1 Yeah, the 1990s lineup of Hole; I totally concur they should re-form. They were preposterously underrated. And the Celebrity Skin album was, in my opinion, the last great album of the 1990s. It's a masterpiece. The resurgence of rock music that flourished in the first half of that decade, in particular, was significantly waning for years by the time Celebrity Skin came out, but I think of it as the album that unofficially closed out the 1990s' musical revolution. It was the finishing touch on the last era of quality popular music before it all turned to crap again.
this song, lyrics, the way she sings it, the way she looks, moves is so truthful, so authentic. I hope she will find some piece in this world and God will unswear
shes amazing, i've adored her since 1994 and i saw her live last night in brooklyn, ny... when she sang this i had tears in my eyes... shes just human like the rest of us... at least shes real
I find it hard to describe how much this specific version of this song means to me. I'm struggling with my addictions and every single word sung feels that it's from my very soul. Linda Perry is an incredible song writer and Courtney Love is just the best vessel to convey these words.
Such a raw and heartbreaking performance by Courtney - a woman who has battled her inner demons so publicly and punished her body through the abuse of drugs and alcohol - being so brutally honest makes her an easy target for others to project their own weaknesses upon. I see a woman crying out for help..............
She never drank, only drugs. She is one strong woman (child) and her honesty to her own self is what is so beautiful! Fuck the rest of the people, she won my heart. She made it through, I pray to God she put those demons to rest and start living before she dies. God Bless her!
It's really a shame that no one really takes Courtney Love seriously, I did not take her seriously at first, but one night I have her a chance and listened to "America's Sweetheart" and loved it. The demos for "Nobody's Daughter" are amazing. If those are demos, I can't even begin to think of how amazing the final versions must be. "Nobody's Daughter" is a very emotional and beautiful album
This is the best version she did of this song. I've seen several vids lately where she sings this song. My god her voice was so clear out of rehab, and she did release Nobody's Daughter since this performance. Id say it's emotionally insane to give this much to a song, ....glad it ended up on tape.
I can't describe the feeling I get when I listen to this . Thank you Linda and thank you Courtney . It says it all and it describes courtney so well , I think she looks beautiful when she sings it . It's like she has re-born .
You are so right. She is talented, beautiful, successful, and strong. It seems unfortunate that these characteristics SCARE people, especially weak, illiterate, uneducated, and uninformed people. Her courage and honesty are her two greatest assets. This song is very telling of struggles she has with identity, which she puts out there for the world to hear. Ironically, few individuals ever get to that point in their lives. The world could learn some lessons from her and her honesty.
Ogni volta che la riascolto, sempre la stessa emozione. A mio avviso, una delle più belle "preghiere laiche" mai scritte, con una interpretazione da brividi, forse non perfetta, ma forse anche per questo arriva al cuore.
She's a wonderful musician both in the studio and live. She has so much power and energy and soul live. I will never forget the shows that I've seen her in.
PARABÉNS COURTNEY LOVE. VOCÊ ACORDOU INSPIRADA, PARA PODER ESCREVER UMA MÚSICA TÃO LINDA COMO ESSA. COM CERTEZA, UMA DAS "ROCK BALLADS" MAIS LINDAS DE TODOS OS TEMPOS. A BATERIA, E O PIANO, ESTÃO ARRASADORES....
Linda Perry...amazing song writer. And Courtney growls her soul into it! noticed she teared up at the end...it meant something to her, just like it's means something to us all.
Its so beatiful and i need to run away in adicction i need to slep right and sometimes i need to die out and sometimes i need to pray and finally i love this song
great and powerful, if only she was aware of her power...rusty, rocky voice, natural, raw. Don't ever change, but get better. I hope you will. A hug. Anna Laura
Even if this is one of her lowest and worst vocal performances, she is STILL an amazing singer. The way she cries at the end and you can tell she's hurting and that she really connects with this song. She's got soul and she's just so amazing and honest. She's VERY sick here because of the drugs and whatever else was going on at that time, but she's better now, supposably, she looks it though. This makes me cry this video. She sounds so sad and sick.
Solo espero Courtney haya superado todos sus traumas los cuales expresa atraves d sus canciones su rebeldia sufrimiento y locuras etc. habiamos muchos asi y por sus canciones nos hicimos mas fuertes desde muy joven escuchandola hasta ya q ya tengo 40.
I love Love. Heh. This album was amazing. It wasn't the Hole album some were expecting, but it was real and honest and dark and painful. And RAW. Love it. You go Courtney.
What a cool song about a pretty brutal and honest reality. What a strong and beautiful woman. She is brilliant. And really, how different is anyone from anyone else. We are all connected at some level, some higher, and many lower than low. I think her plea will be heard by the one who opens the letter.
She's so real, brutally honest with herself, she's charged with a power that's so rare to be seen these days. This is rock. Her voice is the essence of rock. I wish i could have that voice. This woman is undestructible. I think she's fine now (more or less).
Such a great song! Underrated song and album (Nobody's Daughter). It makes me miss this kind of music and Rock & Roll in general. Courtney's a true old school Rockstar! Shame she's become unappreciated in the music business. She's an awesome musician and a great actress!
Lyrics: Dear GOD, I'm writing this letter to You 'Cause I don't have a clue, can You help me? I'm sitting here, simply trying to figure out What my life's all about, can You tell me? I never wanted to be the person You see Can You tell me who I am? I always wanted to die but You kept me alive Can You tell me who I am? I lie awake conducting this symphony That You have gifted to me But I can't ever sleep Don't be mad, but I get weak inside And I start to fall apart 'Cause I feel nothing I never wanted to be Some kind of comic relief Please, show me who I am I've been tortured and scorned Since the day that I was born But I don't know who I am And I thank You, man, for everything Sorry, I'm so frightened about all of this But I wish I could give You more And all the lights are shining down on me And I feel intimated by it all I never wanted to be the person You see But thank You Oh GOD,, please tell me now Are You disappointed, are You proud? Haven't I done everything, everything? I'm so sorry, I'm so weak And I turned into a freak But I don't know anything, anything I've lost all self-esteem By a billion, everything And I feel nothing, nothing Oh GOD,, please tell me now Oh GOD, please tell me now 'Cause I feel nothing And, dear GOD I'm writing this letter to you I am coming unglued Please, help me
I watched these clips in the speing of 07 and I added another female American born human sapiens to my soul, connected in a way that only a true idolizing fan can be saved from the idolizing fan being icon as in Joan of Arc, Mary Shelley, Mother Theresa, Marie Curie, Patti Smith and Kate Bush and Virginia Woolf are icons. Too damn good for the mainstream to even start to feel the pain, the itching, the stars exploding in your brain.
Sometimes I wish she could smoke less coz her voice is deteriorating. But I love her voice when I'm listening to this song. Weird. Thanks for uploading this video btw.

thanks to be
Well I can think of many songs prior
She's a murderer!!!!!! She killed the person that was tough and beautiful his name was Kurt
shes a true rockstar. Old school.
And thats what makes her so beautiful!
She’s one of the most misunderstood and talented people of all time.
She is incredible, isn't she. Hole was a brilliant band. They should get back together.
@jgrignard1 Yeah, the 1990s lineup of Hole; I totally concur they should re-form. They were preposterously underrated.

so much pain, makes me cry
Me too!!
Proof of a good rock song if I ever were to define...
Doodle your exam paper agree with you. Demi
when she do drugs, people tell her to behave good. when she behaves good, people say she's faking it. what is wrong with this world?
Alice Wang I take drugs too and I think the same thinks like you. Demi
Because people don’t want you to do better. People are so judgmental. Just be you.
Exactly.
this song, lyrics, the way she sings it, the way she looks, moves is so truthful, so authentic. I hope she will find some piece in this world and God will unswear
shes amazing, i've adored her since 1994 and i saw her live last night in brooklyn, ny... when she sang this i had tears in my eyes... shes just human like the rest of us... at least shes real
Love you Courtney, you are my salvation, and you give me the strength to stay strong!!!
this song is a TRUE letter to god

***** Are you? Don't be so hard on yourself - try a laxative, that's good for people who are FOS
I agree - she's been a scapegoat for too long x
She never drank, only drugs. She is one strong woman (child) and her honesty to her own self is what is so beautiful! Fuck the rest of the people, she won my heart. She made it through, I pray to God she put those demons to rest and start living before she dies. God Bless her!
Nah!!!! That is Emo...She is Grounge
Thank you
I love Courtney, always have... she has such presence and her voice just touches me she is QUEEN in my book... love her music...
It's really a shame that no one really takes Courtney Love seriously, I did not take her seriously at first, but one night I have her a chance and listened to "America's Sweetheart" and loved it.

"Nobody's Daughter" is a very emotional and beautiful album
Im so proud of you Courtney you embrace all of us.
I really love this VERSION of her.
Thank u LINDA PERRY!! You are blessed to create Music like this!!
This song is...Beautiful. Simply Beautiful.

Such a true human.Never afraid to show her true soul.
Jesus Christ talk about a tear jerker. whew!! Song is perfectly suited for her, I know she did not write it, but again, whew!!!
It was that Goddamned Linda Perry! ;-)
She's a wonderful musician both in the studio and live. She has so much power and energy and soul live. I will never forget the shows that I've seen her in.
This is a pure raw performance. I have never seen a more honest performance before.

Linda Perry es una compositora inmensa, profunda y humana. En la voz de Love suena fantástica esta gran canción.

Even if this is one of her lowest and worst vocal performances, she is STILL an amazing singer. The way she cries at the end and you can tell she's hurting and that she really connects with this song. She's got soul and she's just so amazing and honest. She's VERY sick here because of the drugs and whatever else was going on at that time, but she's better now, supposably, she looks it though. This makes me cry this video. She sounds so sad and sick.
Lowest? This is art, this is what rock can be.
love this song, lyrics are very powerful!
I love you courtney 🥰
Solo espero Courtney haya superado todos sus traumas los cuales expresa atraves d sus canciones su rebeldia sufrimiento y locuras etc. habiamos muchos asi y por sus canciones nos hicimos mas fuertes desde muy joven escuchandola hasta ya q ya tengo 40.
Io 39... vorrei ritornare ai miei vent'anni...
От всей души желаю ей здоровья и удачи, она потрясающая!!

Amazing,,,,,,,,im so impressed,
J’ai grandi avec toi et à 49 ans! Tjrs accro! I love you Courtney 🥰🐾🐾
What a cool song about a pretty brutal and honest reality.
What a strong and beautiful woman.
She is brilliant. And really, how different is anyone from anyone else. We are all connected at some level, some higher, and many lower than low.
I think her plea will be heard by the one who opens the letter.
This whole thing should be on DVD
She's so real, brutally honest with herself, she's charged with a power that's so rare to be seen these days. This is rock. Her voice is the essence of rock. I wish i could have that voice. This woman is undestructible. I think she's fine now (more or less).
she looks pretty rough here, but im happy that she got through all of her struggles. love you courtney

Beautiful soul

Única una gran canción
this song is so powerfull!!!
Such a great song! Underrated song and album (Nobody's Daughter). It makes me miss this kind of music and Rock & Roll in general.
Courtney's a true old school Rockstar! Shame she's become unappreciated in the music business. She's an awesome musician and a great actress!
Courtney ,I Love this song and I Love you ❣
it's so cute at the end how she messes up the me and giggled then tried again aha
Complete fire and pain.
Lyrics:
Dear GOD, I'm writing this letter to You
'Cause I don't have a clue, can You help me?
I'm sitting here, simply trying to figure out
What my life's all about, can You tell me?
I never wanted to be the person You see
Can You tell me who I am?
I always wanted to die but You kept me alive
Can You tell me who I am?
I lie awake conducting this symphony
That You have gifted to me
But I can't ever sleep
Don't be mad, but I get weak inside
And I start to fall apart
'Cause I feel nothing
I never wanted to be
Some kind of comic relief
Please, show me who I am
I've been tortured and scorned
Since the day that I was born
But I don't know who I am
And I thank You, man, for everything
Sorry, I'm so frightened about all of this
But I wish I could give You more
And all the lights are shining down on me
And I feel intimated by it all
I never wanted to be the person You see
But thank You
Oh GOD,, please tell me now
Are You disappointed, are You proud?
Haven't I done everything, everything?
I'm so sorry, I'm so weak
And I turned into a freak
But I don't know anything, anything
I've lost all self-esteem
By a billion, everything
And I feel nothing, nothing
Oh GOD,, please tell me now
Oh GOD, please tell me now
'Cause I feel nothing
And, dear GOD
I'm writing this letter to you
I am coming unglued
Please, help me
Speechless. Courtney, the queen. Love 💖
damn , i love this track , everytime that i got drunked i`m listening to her ,
2019
What a Beautiful 💎
ouuuh yeahh..... what song o my god im impressed .....so much feeling in this is the kind of songs that must be sing Courtney ....
I watched these clips in the speing of 07 and I added another female American born human sapiens to my soul, connected in a way that only a true idolizing fan can be saved from the idolizing fan being icon as in Joan of Arc, Mary Shelley, Mother Theresa, Marie Curie, Patti Smith and Kate Bush and Virginia Woolf are icons.

Thanks for uploading this video btw.
I Love Courtney's version it's open, raw and sincere. linda's version, even though she wrote it, sounds like she is cursing God.
she is amazing
Wonderful song
my god she's a wreck
but that voice... and emotion... incredible woman
This is so amazing
Thank you very much skipperrox99.
Just trying like hell to keep it real.......
It's contagious, beware !
