Kurt Cobain Biography
Kurt Donald Cobain was the leader of Nirvana, the
multi-platinum grunge band that redefined the sound of the
nineties.
Cobain was born on the 20th of February 1967 in Hoquaim, a
small town 140 kilometres south-west of Seattle. His mother

------ About the song Mrs. Butterworth performed by Nirvana
I didn't read his journals becouse his journal was named: Don't read this when I'm gone, So I'm not going to. I've read Heavier Than Heaven and Come As You Are. And I'm probetly going to buy his journals but not read them out of respect.

------ About the song Milk It performed by Nirvana
"Obituary birthday" He thought up stuff that nobody else could. I listen to this song every day because what's considered "popular" here in 2009 is unlistenable. I mean seriously? Hinder? Theory of a deadman? Blue October? They WISH they had the mojo Kurt had and as a musician myself I wish I did too.

funguy is big f$@king dick with too much time on his hands. what right do you have to critize others grammers or posts for that matter? Fans will be fans as I am one of them. You should have ran down your mommy's leg instead of being born. Love live Kurt's music...peace.

------ About artist/band Nirvana
It's still so bizarre to me that some of the most talented singers/songwriters of the times killed themselves at age 27. Janis, Jimi, Jim, Brian Jones and I'm sure there are others I can't think of off the top of my head.. But even today I listen to Nirvana songs and am completely captivated and moved. I wish I had gotten the chance to see them live, I wish I had bought all their cd's before the fact, I wish.. mostly that Kurt was still here.

------ About the song Stay Away performed by Nirvana
I think this is another one of Kurt's songs that he wrote not intending for the lyrics to mean anything. Although he meant to write these nonsense lyrics, his lyrics often can be interpreted more than he had hoped. I like this song for it's simple yet (unintentional) meaningful lyrics.

------ About the song Sliver performed by Nirvana
I think the most interesting thing about this song is that when he's with his grandma he's crying to be with his mother and when he wakes up in his mother's arms he's crying to be back with grandma.......then he determines he just wants to be alone. He's confused because circumstances beyond his control have forced him to go back and forth, the pain and confusion of going back and forth just leaves him wanting to be alone.....it's a really sad situation. I think to many single moms know this all to well. I would venture to guess that 95% of the time it's the fathers fault.
The song is about being foresaken. It's about God or Jesus not being "there" for a child. It really fits Kurt's experience and I'm sure spoke to him on many levels.
An abused child attaches onto any myth that supports the end of abuse. If you are abused and believe that someone bigger and stronger can end it you become dismayed when it does not.
It's a great but simple song and we need to not look at it as an attack on our personal beliefs but rather a call to action against those that use philosophical beliefs to harm others.
Pain | Reviewer: Mick
------ About the song Mexican Seafood performed by Nirvana
I think it pretty much reflects how sick he was to his stomach and how much pain he was suffering, many of his lyrics come back to that same pain, always, in some way, mentioning his stomach... The song is repulsive, but so must have been his pain.

------ About the song Dumb performed by Nirvana
"you don't know grunge."
Kyle, with all due respect, someone who was born after Kurt CAN understand. Art (and music in particular) is not about being in the right place at the right time. If you listen and understand, you can get it.
By the way, I'm not 13, I'm 39. Since I'm older than youy, does that mean a thing? Nope. You know what you know and that does not impact the reality of how music speaks to others.

sappy lyrics | Reviewer: Sam Amber
------ About the song Sappy performed by Nirvana
Kurt was actually singing about his pet turtle, who lived in his laundry room. he bought the turtle when he lived with tracy marander in 1989 and just watched them. he was obsessed with the turtle, and so he wrote a song about it which he first recorded in 1990. and that is the truth.

whatever happened,Kurt is the best singer,but it seems like he has no energy...Like he's bored in all the things he does...
If he could sing like this without energy,
imagine what he could with it?!

------ About the song Drain You performed by Nirvana
it's about heroin. and Rockband was a great invention - it congregated all musical posers into one area. I personally believe they should hold a Rockband convention inside a space shuttle, and launch all the people who go beyond the clouds since that's where their heads are anyway. Rockband = the poser label.
Mumble Away | Reviewer: Tyrone
------ About the song Old Age performed by Nirvana
Kurtd sure did mumble alot. But it was great. IS great, there was true honesty in his voice. A very gut type feeling like the music of the old negroes of the south during the great depression days or the sad wine soaked poems of bukowski. May all depressed souls everywhere find their way out of this beautiful messed up world. Peace.

------ About the song Milk It performed by Nirvana
The debate whether Kurt was murdered or not is stupid. He is dead and gone. The books written and stuff do not matter now. The fact that Nirvana fans would argue amongst themselves is not right. His music is still here to be enjoyed, and that is what matters. Yeah, he was great, but stuff happens. Whether murdered or not, argueing about it solves it not. Just sit back and listen to the great music he left.

------ About the song Heart - Shaped Box performed by Nirvana
I believe it is about Courtney Love. The song was inspired by her gift of a heart-shaped box. It was originnally titled heart-shaped coffin. I wish I could Eat your cancer when you turn black, this is the fucked up way Kurt Cobain said i love you. The chorus was about the reporters attempt to interrupt everyday life.

------ About the song Opinion performed by Nirvana
Dude, I'd agree with you IN THEORY. Fact remains that there's a lot of stuff on those albums that you can't find anywhere else. Even their "Best of" album doesn't have half of Nirvana's "Best" songs. I wouldn't by Kurt's diary, but I'll listen to the music he made to share with the world anytime.

------ About the song Lake Of Fire performed by Nirvana
Put allot of thought into this song because I love to sing it. And I love how it putt's the listener on the spot.
You simply cant help but hear it and think about the day of judgment. I think the song is very clear. The only questionable part is the part about the forth of July. Some have said that this means that the writer thought That our founding fathers were going to hell. This is complete rubbish!
Well it may very well be that the writer was just looking for a creative rhyme. But it DOES have a deeper meaning that I personally prefer and makes sense to me. When a believer dies and goes to heaven because of the blood covering of Jesus Christ he or she has been liberated (set free) having won his independence form a world of sin and death. We celebrate the forth of July (Independence day) To mark and celebrate how we have been set free from the heavy yoke of British rule. We know by reading the book of revelations that on the day of judgment God raises everyone from the dead to be judged. The dead who did not go to heaven are in a waiting place much like hell. But they are not in the lake of fire yet. That's why it says see them again till the forth of July. At which time they will be thrown into the lake of fire and we will never see them again. And so the Forth of July is just a metaphor for the day of judgment when God sets everything straight by weeding out the bad folks from the good folks who have won there Independence (Through faith in Christ) from a world of sin and death.
I hope this helps everyone to better understand the true meaning of this song.
It may not be the meaning that the writer intended but everything happens for a reason and I think that God had His hand in this one.
But what do I know lol.
