Actually, no. While Polly was a genius song that tied to Gerald Friend who kidnapped and raped a 14 year old girl, most of his songs didn't have the deeper meaning that people credited them for. Kurt had admitted that he never put a lot of thought into his lyrics and that it was the fans that put meaning in them that actually never existed. They [the lyrics] were pretty much thrown in there in Nirvana's first few albums. One of the first songs he actually put deeper thought into, according to Kurt, was Scentless Apprentice. I am trying to find the interview where he said that, but it may take me some time because it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but I guarantee you he said that.

It was a Canadian interview he did not long before his death. He said the book “Perfume” that he read constantly inspired Scentless Apprentice.
Polly is a True story that Kurt saw in a newspaper 📰 about the actual kidnapping of a 14-year-old girl. In 1987, she was returning from a concert in Tacoma, Washington when she was abducted by a man named Gerald.
The song polly is DEFINITELY not just a vibe song. It's about a real story in the news that broke Kurt's heart. Look up the lyrics and the story behind it, trust me.

Smells Like Teen Spirit was the best & worst thing that happened to Nirvana. They were such a great band but that song and video catapulted them into superstardom and Kurt hated everything that came with it. My favorite record of theirs is Incesticide. Of course it barely beats out Bleach and In Utero in my mind but they were all great really. I wish Kurt would've done work with Bowie. I wish they would've finished their unreleased stuff. I wish they would've been around longer.
Always love to hear what you have to say about these amazing songs, keep it up!
Their Kurt's lyrics absolutely make sense, especially dirty wings. It'd the story of a woman being raped told from the perspective of the rapist. Kurt was a ln outspoken feminist and his intention was to shock people into paying attention

I was 17 when Cobain killed himself and it had a deep impact on me, to this day. Kurt's music was messy, and this is what made it so perfect. Nirvana's songs lacked the polished corporate grooming that bands like Nickleback or Creed were rife with. There was heart in his screams, they weren't just for effect. I truly connected with Nirvana, at a time when I was an outcast and his music decried the norms of popular culture. Cobain is still missed.

The lyrics do have meaning. But, in poetic form...euphemisms...metaphorical. (If you REALLY want to listen to lyrics that nobody can figure out, even his own bandmates, listen to REM. Michael Stipe, the singer, is truly unique. And I think you did listen to at least one of their songs.) I think you just kinda have to know what is going on in Kurt's life at the time, because he was a drug addict, & so were people around him, & he uses references to some of that. The album cover, (just my own opinion/p.o.v.) is showing like, humans are already programmed from birth to chase the almighty dollar. Corporate greed, & greed in general. More money=more power, & more freedom. And our evolution has been so slow, that even if we don't care about wealth & riches, we're forced into having to work for, fight, steal, & kill for that money. It's either sink or swim. Get it now? And Nirvana, being an angsty grunge band with punk mixed in, is pretty much holding up the 'F**K Authority' attitude. And NO, Jojo. It is not a foot! That's his wee wee! 😆
I always forget how much I love Drain You.
I come back to this reaction every once in awhile, because it's gold to see someone feel deeply about this music that made me who I am
If "Drain you" isn't in this reaction, I'm going to be very disappointed. If it is , awesome. FYI, that baby on the album cover just tried to sue the Cobain estate.

“please let the Next song be bad" ....and the masterpiece Lounge Act comes in🔥🔥🔥😁😁😁 !!! Awesome reaction bro 👌🏼
I wish I could hear Drain you again for the first time wow. The buildup in the middle . Omg. And you know I actually remember hearing it for the first time and my fav songs on the album first go through were In Bloom/Drain you. Now after 30+ years that changes from time to time. But I digress, I so wish I could be this Nirvana Naíve. Lucky guy! I sure hope it effects him in the same type of way that it did for all of us.. if so then that leads to a lifetime of awesome music. ;)
Nirvana had great tracks on all of their albums. Nevermind is one of the greatest albums of all time. The other album of theirs that I played a gazillion times over the years was their MTV unplugged album. That one is definitely also worth a full album review. Next, I would say Pearl Jam’s debut album Ten is an absolute classic without a bad track that warrants a full album review too. It’s amazing and stands the test of time. It too will give you chills.
You should check out Beck’s Mellow Gold album. It came out right around the time Kurt died. It’s kind of like junkyard hip-hop and indie blues acoustic guitars all rolled into one, with hilarious lyrics. I think it’s a good idea for an album reaction.
The crackers and water tune (12:00 -ish) is based around a true story of a kidnap and r&&e of a girl. It's about her trying to survive the ordeal. Strong stuff when music was actually about things. The insert to the 'Incesticide' album/LP is an interesting read and talks about this stuff.
If your looking for a bad song in an album, Nevermind is not the album you should listen to😁

Haha, sorry, jojo, Kurt didn’t write songs without meaning. You know how, when you read a book in a literature class, you first learn about the author’s life, the themes they cared about, the culture & historic events of the time period? music is the same way, right? 2Pac speaks to issues he & the community faced in the 90s. Bob Dylan spoke on issues in the 60s. And Kurt wrote about things that were important to him in the late 80s/early 90s. Everything had meaning, and the meaning was the most important part. Like, in In Bloom, right? There’s the chorus “he likes all our pretty songs, and he likes to sing along, and he likes to shoot his gun, but he knows not what it means, knows not what it means when I say” - he’s criticizing people for listening and grooving to the sound without absorbing and relating to the central point he’s trying to get across. I can’t express just how significant Nirvana was to my generation. They -- Kurt, specifically - didn’t just completely shift the music that we were able to have access to, but, more importantly, they shifted culture. They shifted how we saw things. At least they did for those of us who got it. And we were starved for that at the time, as so much we were given before (in the 80s) was shiny and pretty but vapid & lacking substance.
You absolutely have to react to the MTV unplugged Concert by Nirvana, it's especially great cause they played some "unpopular" songs so they become more popular :D
Nice. The change in our culture heralded by Nirvana and this album in early 90’s lives on today and has more than a few branches. I’m sure you’re already familiar with Nirvana’s two time Rock Hall of Fame drummer. Their impact on our lives cannot be measured. Very happy to see the younger generation picking up on all the collaborations and master poets in some of this older music. Suggestion: One by Metallica
I honestly had a really similar experience with this album. I was really into the Beatles in high school, like _really_ into them, but then at some point I found an old homemade rip of this CD and put it on out of curiosity, and in a single moment it was like I realized that there was music that I _actually liked._ I don't think I've listened to the Beatles on purpose since then.
I'm loving these videos! I'd really like to see if you feel the same about Sublime's self titled album. For me, I can listen to the whole thing over and over.
Nevermind is an amazing album!!
It's poetry. You don't always have to understand the meaning. It's art!
Just watched your reactions to NIRVANA Never Mind and you helped me remember what it was like to be 12 to 15 from 91 to 94 & yeah I'm Old but I really appreciate your honesty. IT was & still IS ONE of the BEST ALBUMS IN ROCK N ROLL !🥴

Lithium is my favorite Song of them and basically, its about a man living with bipolar disorder. Thats why the chorus is super energetic and the rest is a bit more sad and slow, also lithium is often prescribed against this illness. And the friends in hus head are just hallucibations, and he says "im not gonna crack" all the time to prove he s strong enough to live with it. ( this is just my Interpretation, also excuse my english) And the thing with nirvana is you have to hear the songs often to really understand the lyrics same thing with polly, didnt understood it at First too

Just FYI in case you aren't aware, this album sold over 30 million copies. That means it's not a gold record, it's not a platinum record, it's a diamond record. It was the third best selling album of the 90s. This album, and Nirvana in general, influenced an entire generation.
Polly vibing like party hard man
“Lithium” When I was a small child, I would sometimes hear on television about men who killed their wives while maintaining that they loved their wives. Naturally, it sounded crazy-like, how can you say you lover her if you *murdered* her?! These lyrics always made me wonder whether Cobain was referring to those crazy men. “I like it, I’m not gonna crack. I miss you, I’m not gonna crack. I love you, I’m not gonna crack. I kill you, I’m not gonna crack.“ Like, if you’ve gotten to the pint where you’re literally murdering the person you’re claiming to love, you’ve *already* cracked. The first time you listened to that song, you thought Cobain was singing, “I’m not gonna cap.” Glad to see that, this time, you heard the lyrics correctly. “Polly” This song has lots of meaning. It’s an anti-rape song narrated from the voice of a man who has abducted a woman. She tricks him into thinking that she’s okay with the abduction, that she’s actually bored and all, and he puts his guard down, which she uses to surprise him and escape. It’s based on a true story Cobain had read about in the news, but in the true story, the woman didn’t survive. Cobain was a feminist, so he wanted a song about a woman who defeats her abductor. Read the lyrics to that song. You’ll see how it all fits-or at least most of it.
There are LOTS of good albums. Even by smaller bands. The reason why you previously said that if you consider a good album at 3 songs is bc they probably marketed those 3 to be the single or main tracks of the album. I honestly go the opposite direction. If the rest of the songs are better than the singles, then its a great album. I'm glad you are expanding your horizons on music. There is plenty of to still listen. That's the beauty of music. Give Dance Gavin Dance a listen to when you get a chance. You'll be amazed.
See. The way these songs were written to make them easy to remember and sing along
You should try listening to the group Rush and the song is YYZ but listen to it on the live album you will love the drum solo

im sure someone else has said this but, polly is about a kidnap and rape of a girl and the kidnapper didnt stop raping her and torturing he with a blow torch the phrase polly wants a cracker is saying hes lureing her and some water to put out the blow torch is mentioning that the kidnapper would blow torch her stomach and eventually she escaped
Like silverchairs frogstomp, pearl jams 10, and metallicas black, this album is all killer
6:10 it's not his foot and the album cover means that from the moment we're born they have us chasing money

The album cover references underwater birth, and the fact that the male genitalia is displayed so prominently is to symbolize the burden that males are born into this world with the responsibility of providing/making money for both themselves, and everyone else, in order to survive.

Polly is seriously dark. A man named Gerald Friend kidnapped a 14 year old girl on her way home from a concert and put her through unspeakable torture.
The cover is displaying how we are taught from the earliest days to pursue wealth as happiness. "Polly" Is a severely serious song about a true story of a girl that was kidnapped and raped and escaped by outsmarting their assaulter. "Territorial Pissing's" is reminding you they are Punk AS Fuck. "Drain You" was actually a love song with a Sonic Youth midsection and Kurt's admitted favorite. Also my exes and my song. "Lounge Act" is just groove till you move. Watch some of their live performances to reach Nirvana

If you heard it elsewhere, someone stole it from here. Kurt could write a simple-sounding but genius hook/melody like nobody else. Really underrated guitar player too, sounding that 'rough' while drawing the ear to something in one listen is no small feat. Never been another voice like this either; the baby is just an album cover, observation on the music business and treatment of artists if it meant anything. Got the record banned in Walmart etc until they made an alternative/edited cover for the record.
