I loved Nirvana. Heavy rock music had become a bloated parody if itself and Nirvana took it back to personally relatable levels. Their songs spoke to people who are normally excluded or ignored in most rock music cliches. They achieved huge success entirely on their own terms, without sacrificing their integrity or making concessions to commerciality.

This is really lost on people who didn’t experience the sea-change that Nirvana represented in music and culture. They immediately made almost every popular band at the time seem ridiculous for wearing makeup and acting tough. Not that wearing makeup is wrong, but everyone was basically going on stage wearing a costume and playing a character. Nirvana’s choice of keeping everything “silly” and honest instead of overwrought was such a breath of fresh air in a cloud of hair spray.

Lithium is a well known mood stabilising prescriptive drug for those with Manic Depression or Severe Depression. It’s aim is to keep mood neither too high, or low. So experiencing life highs are limited. Listen to the lyrics again as being someone knowing life can be slightly deadened experience if taking Lithium. It’s really deep with this interpretation.

You Know You're right by Nirvana. It was their last official record.

You said that you’ve never heard anything like this before. That’s because Nirvana is and still is one of the most influential group of musicians ever. My favorite live performance is “All Apologies” from MTV Unplugged. RIP Kurt ❤️

Kurt is the reason I picked up a guitar and started writing as a kid. It's still insane to me, watching people experience it for the first time is so beautiful❗

Heart Shaped Box next please!

Lithium is one of the most widely used drugs for bipolar depression. He's talking about all ups & down manias of depression. Which he apparently was dealing with on a personal level. RiP Kurt ❤💔

Another band that you can react to is: Pixies, especially songs like Monkey gone to heaven or Where is my mind. Kim Deal, Pixies' basist was part of another band called Breeders, check their song Cannonball, a really fun song.

In Bloom, All apologies (Unplugged), Lake of fire, On a plain (Unplugged), Sliver, Aneurysm... So much great songs by Nirvana

Kurt described the song as a story of a man who copes with a breakup and the following depression and thoughts of suicide through religion. Though he wasn't necessarily seeing eye-to-eye with religion in general, he supported it if it meant preventing people from killing themselves. He himself was a borderline Buddhist, though he didn't follow any form of organised religion. He was a free spirit.

This is one of my favourite Nirvana songs

Nirvana is the first band I became totally obsessed with at age 11. I was born in ‘95 so this wasn’t when they were around but I still resonated so deeply with the sound and I think that’s why so many teens and younger folks have always turned to Nirvana, Mudhoney, Minor Threat, Black Flag and all those Seattle 90’s bands. they just let it all out, they scream and thrash around and that’s all you wanna do as a young person.

Nirvana is amazing! I would recommend IN BLOOM, such a gorgeous song! or HEART SHAPED BOX!

David Grohl on drums! One of the most talented of our times!!!

Nirvana was the Beatles of my generation! Only around for a few yrs and took the world by storm...Changed everything

Nirvana were the best and this track is the best of the best. With Nirvana it doesnt matter how deep the lyrics might be their songs bypass the brain and connect directly with the soul. Ive been waiting for your reaction to this Jayvee. You werent quite as blown away as i would have hoped but thankyou as always.

I assume you know, the drummer for Nirvana is Dave Grohl who fronts the Foo Fighters (formed by Dave after Nirvana disbanded after Kirk Cobain's death) which you have already reacted to! ❤️

He called me ugly. 😂

I’m 39. Kurt was my voice. A great soul. I miss him. If you weren’t around back then it’s hard to understand nirvanas impact. Much love everyone.

Lithium is sometimes used for treating some mental state issues. So you got the emotions right, just imagine all of them jumbling around your head in a big mess half the time. That what this song is to me. The struggle not to crack. And if we're talking Nirvana, my favorite of theirs is actually a cover of "The man who sold the world". Some of my favorite guitar work of all time.

i suffer from bipolar and borderline personality disorder and I was 12 when this album came out, I still have the original release of Nevermind on CD. This album made so much sense to me. I didnt know what was wrong with me. Tragic loss of a genius. Same as Chester, Keith Flint.

"If there's a rock and roll heaven, you know they got a hell of a band."

Driving home at night in the early 90's listening to the radio and this came on and I was totally blown away, I had to find out more about this song and band. it was the first Nirvana song I recall hearing.

Would love to see your reaction to any of the following three: Arcade Fire - Wake up Phoenix - 1901 The Strokes - Someday Please and thank you!

When I first heard Nirvana in '91 it changed my world, up until then 80-85% of what I listened to was Rap, after Nirvana half the music I listened to was Alternative. Nirvana really had me looking at music in a whole new way.

Yea baby!! Great reaction. Nirvana flipped us our head and ushered in 90s grunge.

Pixies was one of the biggest influences on nirvana :D I'd love to see you do a pixies reaction!

I remember when I was young my older brother used to use this song for their alarm clock, it could typically fit in with your dreams at the very start with the intro, but as soon as the hook came in, it was a pretty rude awakening for the whole house lol

Like bass in 90's? Try 'Primus' and 'Red Hot Chili Peppers' The bands that lean more towards funk.

Nirvana change music when this album came out. I remember seeing smells like teen Spirit over and over on MTV and it was just crazy and I was a teenager in Nirvana give me something to just let everything out too. They were the beginning of this hard-core grunge. They completely changed music forever. It’s so hard when we remembered that will never hear something new from Kurt’s voice. Got a listen to more. Have you ever checked out Van Halen Erruption? Just Eddie Van Halen in concert guitar solo that goes off because he makes the guitar do you things that nobody else has ever done. It shows he really was the best ever. RIP Eddie.

"Come As You Are" (of course"), "All Apologies (from MTV Unplugged), and "The Man Who Sold The World" (a david Bowie cover also from MTV Unplugged).

Of you want to hear some 90s songs with bass you can hear, check out the band Cake. The songs are “the distance”, “Never there”, and “short skirt and long jacket”

just another comment about how refreshingly genuine & empathetic you are, jovaughn. watching you listen to this, we see you feel the pain in this song. you're right, there's a lot of pain there. a lot of pain in a lot of nirvana's songs. yet there's always a sense that what is being expressed is only the tip of the iceberg. we can feel that there's a whole lot more pain happening underneath the lyrics & music.

The "pronounced bass" you're talking about is all about Sound City, and the way this whole album was recorded with analog systems, onto Ampex tape. A custom made Neve console in that studio, that David Grohl managed to rescue when the place shut down. Look up the documentary Sound City for more. So many famous musicians, most of whom JV has already reacted to, got together and created new songs out of jams from that.

Kurt 👍🙌❤️ "Where did you sleep last night" great too ❤️ Nirvana, what a band !!! 🙌🙌❤️

I used to love Nirvana when I was a teen, but I haven't listened to them for a long time. So I saw your video and go, jeez, how did Lithium start again? Not even the first bar in, all the song lyrics come rushing back, word for word. At least I remember something I haven't heard in a good 20 years but I'm not be able to remember my bank account number off the top of my head. The human brain is weird.

Yes def do more Nirvana! So complex and just so freaking great. This my fave from *Nevermind* Gets me pumped when I'm slumped. Fr.

I'm so glad you react to that sick bassline.

If you haven't done it yet you should react to their MTV Unplugged cover of The Man Who Sold the World!! My favorite song of theirs even though it's just a cover haha

I've been a Nirvana fan since I was in Jr.High, age 13. I'm now 45...so, a fan for 32 years! Damn, just typing that makes me feel ancient AF!!!

I'm the one that suggested reacting to Fleet Foxes! You definitely should. Have an awesome night, man~

Breed, drain you, in bloom, scent less apprentice, school, Frances farmer, lounge act, serve the servants, Nirvana - best band ever

If you wanna go deep on Nirvana's and discover why they are considered the Beatles of the '90s you should react to the following list of masterpieces: - Polly - Breed - Territorial Pissings - School - About a Girl - Love Buzz - Molly's Lips - Negative Creep - where did you sleep last night (MTV unplugged) - Heart-shaped box - Tourette's - Rape me - Aneurysm - The Man Who Sold The World (Bowie's cover, from the MTV unplugged)

I was in stationed in Virginia Beach when this Album came out and I wore this CD out.

Yes! Nirvana

I love your interpretation; Lol, you are thinking more about their songs than I ever did when I listened to them back in the day!

Nirvana is one of the greatest rock bands ever and completely without artifice. Kurt wrote lyrics about his personal pain but always with a wry sense of humor. But that sort of whisper-to-a-scream aesthetic was inspired by the Pixies (my personal favorite band). If you've heard any Pixies song it's probably only because you saw Fight Club.

Mate thanks for reacting to Nirvana, my favorite band ever. This song is about a having a mental illness and dealing with it. I believe Lithium is prescribed for depression associated with bipolar disorder. You should consider reacting to any of the songs in their MTV unplugged 1993, all them songs are amazing but my favorites are a David Bowie one "The man who sold the world and a Lead Belly's song "Where did you sleep last night"

One of the most important songs ever made.. 🇮🇸💜

Listen to the band "Hole" (his wife's band). A good song to try is "Violet".

I absolutely ❤️ Nirvana thank you!! A Life changing band I’m forever grateful to!! Fabulous reaction! Much ❤️

Sometimes at the end of a song I am yelling at my screen for you to click the next song. Nirvanas cover of "The man that sold the world" is amazing. You should do a two for one sometime.

when I think 90s music, Nirvana and grunge music are right up there, I doubt I would have gone to very many parties in high school where they weren't played. Everyone was trying to learn their songs on guitar to impress each other! One of their big influences were the Pixies, who were originally around late 80-early 90s (but reunited and are touring still today) I really like Nirvana but Pixies are in my top 3 fave bands ever so I'll always try and make more people a fan! Although Smells Like Teen Spirit is currently my ringtone on my phone! :-)

This gave me goosebumps. Took me back to high school 🖤

Whole Nevermind album is amazing ✌️❤️

That bass line is amazing

*About a girl" is another favourite of mine too

The day I watched Teen Spirit was the day Heavy Metal died. Some bands like Metalica , Guns and Rises and Bon Jovi survived but they had to evolve . Nirvana created a whole new vibe and other forms of music💕

This album was on loop for me. So good it's still played on the radio 30 yrs later and my 15 yr old knows all the songs by heart and learned to play them on Rocksmith... timeless and always relevant... RIP Curt Cobain
