You Know You're Right!!. Review on Nirvana - Nirvana

Music….I can listen to any kind! I used to say. But Rock? Nah!! Not my cup of tea. Till four months back, rock to me was more of noise and less or no music.

Rock or grunge music has its worshippers all across the globe but I always knew this kind of music is not for me. Though in my mind I never had any barriers or inhibitions for not listening to rock but always thought I kind of don’t fit into that genre of music. Then a friend, who happened to be a major Kurt Cobain fan, introduced me to Nirvana. The first ever rock number that I listened to, or rather which he made me listened to, was ‘Where Did U Sleep Last Night’.

A chill ran down my spine the moment I heard those shrieks. The lyrics were though quite suggestive in themselves and I asked him, “What made him cry in front of a live audience? Is it that his girl has slept with sumone else that has hurt him and so he is crying his heart out?” Quite amused at my naivety, he smiled, and then brought me face to face with the man who sold the world. What he reminiscenced left me flabbergasted. Anecdotes after anecdotes about Kurt’s life, his music, his stint with heroin, his albums and his suicide, followed.

I promise you that in the passage to follow I won’t bore you guys with biographical insights of the life of this unbelievable legend maniac called Kurt Donald Cobain. But lets cogitate about this leader of the grunge band that redefined the sounds of the nineties in our own trifle way.

He was too much of an erratic moody baby! Had a painful childhood shuttling between respective houses of his separated parents, also had spent some homeless nights under bridge. When eleven he was captivated by Britain’s punk rock bands and in 1986 Nirvana was born. Dissatisfaction, nihilism, apathy and stoicism are the qualities that come out of his otherwise indecipherable https://lyrics. Quite a loner all his life, was unable to tackle the pressures and responsibilities

that came along with the behemothic and gargantuan popularity. Some of his critics took pleasure in calling him a loser, but would you call someone a loser who gave up his life because ‘IT WAS BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN TO FADE AWAY’

Well what better way to end this article than to quote one of his songs. It goes to all my fellow Kurt’s fans, but if u r not a Kurt fan this goes to you also. Enjoy it!!

My heart is broke

I have some glue

Help me inhale, mend it with you

We’ll float around, hang out on clouds

Then we’ll come down

And

Have a hangover

Have a hangover

With all my love. Kurt, wish you were alive!!
