Nirvana's MTV Unplugged performance is eerie. Cobain insisted the stage to be decorated with black candles, flowers, and a crystal chandelier to give the stage a gloomy funeral look. When the show producer asked, “You mean like a funeral?” Cobain replied “Exactly. Like a funeral.” Nirvana wanted their show to be like no other MTV Unplugged concert ever done before. Rape me is a good one. TIL Kurt Cobain of Nirvana started playing “Rape Me” at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards instead of “Lithium”, which MTV wanted, “just to give [MTV] a little heart palpitation”. He switched to “Lithium” seconds before MTV was going to go to commercial

The bottom line, no matter what Nirvana's music was about or how Kurt died is that their music was ICONIC and continues to be popular 30+ years later.

Also, this song is about how conflicted we are about who we are inside versus societal expectation. It's a song about conflicting identity

Wikipedia- Many have speculated the song to be about heroin, which Cobain was struggling with at the time of writing and recording. The lyrics "Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach" speak directly to a Seattle-area HIV prevention campaign from the time period encouraging addicts to sterilize their needles with bleach before using them with the tagline "If doused in mud, soak in bleach", and "As a friend, as a trend, as a known enemy", for some, was further allegory of addiction to the drug. After Cobain's death, Sub Pop records approached G. Alan Marlatt at the University of Washington to set up a memorial fund to establish an addiction treatment center titled the "Come as You Are" center, but the funding fell through after the record label was sold to Warner Music Group

As others have said, you've got to do a couple songs from their MTV Unplugged concert - the entire show is truly one of the most magical music events of the 20th century. Equal parts eerie and sad but also heartwarming for just how raw, candid and genuinely sincere it all is. No put-ons, just Kurt baring his soul to the universe for all to see. Highlights (if anything can be called that when every moment is amazing) are their cover of David Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World, which they make totally their own - and there's a moment at the end of the final song, Where Did You Sleep Last Night, that has haunted me my entire life... anyone who's seen it will know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm seriously getting teary eyed just thinking about it.

The problem with reacting to music videos, especially from the 90's, is that most of the time it was filled with imagery that wasn't necessarily tied directly to the subject matter of the song itself. It was often mostly trying to capture the mood of a song.

You may be right, but ultimately these thoughts come from somewhere, right? What exactly is "stream of consciousness"? What comes out certainly isn't "randomly generated", right, it must come from our experiences and feelings. Kurt was indeed a tortured soul, so I bet a lot of his writing came from within his subconscious. I agree that they probably weren't constructed word-for-word with a particular meaning in mind, sure, but to say "they didn't mean ANYTHING" is also a bit disingenuous. Some songs, probably, but certainly not all of them. In most cases I'd say Nirvana's lyrics were meant to paint a certain mood/vibe, sort of like poetry. So I'd say that, as with most things in life, the truth is somewhere in the middle - some fans overanalyze every word, some say that it meant nothing, when in reality it was a reflection of Kurt's soul, incoherent and rambly as it may have been.

I'm almost certain that the "memoria" is actually a dipthong where 2 vowels come together to form a single syllable. It's quite common in certain vocal styling and a lot of vocalists do this.

Nirvana- something in the way, is a really eerie song I never understand it lyrically.

This was the second video by Nirvana. They had blown up from nothing after the video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" came out, and how were they supposed to top that? It was released six months after Teen Spirit came out, and was their second video, so they actually had a budget for it. A bunch of the imagery came from the album, Nevermind, which had a baby swimming in a pool after a dollar bill on a fishing line on the front, and a floating gun in the same pool (probably) on the back.

Watch any of the MTV unplugged of Nirvana . Its amazing. May he reat in peace . Illness of the body and mind and addiction is on all his songs. He slips stuff in . He will live on forever in music. ❤

One of my favorite songs by Nirvana.

The remaining band members have done interviews and it’s always interesting when they talk about Kurt Cobain. I believe Dave Grohl (who was the drummer in Nirvana and now lead vocals for Foo Fighters) told a story about when they created and recorded the album In Utero. He said the band recorded the instrumentals for the album and then Kurt went in and recorded all the vocals for the album. What was unusual was that the band members had no idea what the songs would be about until they heard the recordings. Kurt battled addictions, so maybe that story kind of explains the why and how of the lyrics.

If you look up the lyrics he is saying "memoria" which means memory in Latin.

Memoria- translates from Italian, Portuguese, but originally Latin. It is also used as a figure I’d speech in Wester Historical Writings. Meant as an “ aid to a memory”, not just a memory itself! Like commemoration, memorial. Was used to describe an altar or collection of relics, pictures to help remember something or someone. They were used in religious processions is Saints. It means a recorded record to aid us in remembering. Favorite of Nirvana. Yes Kurt overdosed.

My generation took Latin in High School. It has helped me be smarter without being smarter. Memoria.

The official lyrics were released in the Lithium single, and it does state "memoria."

song to check out by Nirvana: polly . . . they did it several different ways and is pretty crazy once you realize what the song is about (or could be about)

To say Memoria, in spanish the meaning is broader, It´s not just a single memory, is a recorded history of recolections and memories that sums up countless experiences so you can learn and grow . We say "Tengamos Memoria" or "Hay que hacer memoria", meaning "Remember history, struggle and in that way grow up" And something that I think I heard from Kurt this time around, when he says "no, I don´t have a gun" I think he is talking to himself as the rest of the song, trying to talk himself out of the dark place of mistrust and bleak lonelyness he is in...The whole song is filled with social contradicions and anguish..."come as a friend, as I want you to be", "come as a trend, as an old enemy".... And to add something on 7:30, dirt is real, "bleached" is false cleanlyness, it´s the aparent goodness of a superficial and artificial image(while bleach beeing one of the most corrosive and deadliest substances to life as we know it). All the song is about how to recognize reality in others but more important, in oneself. Saddly in the end he couldn´t see himself having a place in the world that was placed in front of him....And when I say "Saddly" is not that he couldn´t find that place, is that he lived on a world one step to the side and one step forward, but no one understood it or dared to be part of it

If you recall, in Ren’s song “Life is Funny”, he has a lyric “I bang like Kurt Cobain, reach Nirvana on a spiritual plane”. When you reacted with Andi Rue he comments about the line but the song is playing so I can’t make out what he says. You watched again with Anthony Ray, and AR tells you about the Dutch word for “headache” sounding a little like Cobain and therefore being used as a pun

I loved his poetry. So evocative. Like Emily Dickinson. My favorite line he wrote is "nothing on top, but a bucket and a mop....and an illustrated book about birds." As nonsensical as the lyric may seem...you still get it. That's what makes a Master Poet. I feel the same way about Stevie Nicks.

i think memoria was just so it flowed off the end better. memoria vs memory it just flows better.

Great Reaction BP!!!! I agree about this song being eerie, I put that to the side, because it’s one of Nirvana’s best! Soundgarden has a great song called Pretty Noose, Chris Cornell hung himself, but it’s one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard! I think Kurt and Chris would have wanted the world to keep jamming to these 2 great songs! I believe Kurt killed himself because He suffered from a spine disease, had constant stomach pain, suffered from depression, had a horrible childhood, was on a lot of meds, and most of all He truly hated Fame!!! He was a tortured sole!!! I’m glad that Nirvana came along and changed rock music when they did, they truly saved rock music!!!! Lithium is actually their best song and changed my music universe! This is a song that went deep into the pit of my stomach, not many songs can do that!!! Now that’s rock n roll!!!!

You're right, it is very eerie, the first three songs off Nevermind all referenced guns (he did own a number of them). As far as "memoria" is concerned, it is pretty much just Latin for memory (don't know how nuanced he was trying to be, but it specifically relates to the crafting and delivery of speeches or prose).

You should read Dave Ghrol, the drummer's book. He's also the lead singer for Foo Fighters. just a really great guy with some wild, heartbreaking stories.

I was 20 when someone introduced me to this song ❤

Listen to them singing this on mtv unplugged. Masterpiece.

Maybe it represents change in people. The main character is telling people to come as they are NOW. He used to know these people "old memoria." But he's changed too, but in a bad way. He wants to see them again. He wants to see their change. He wants them to see how he's changed, but he's either broken or a monster. "I swear I don't have gun" is him lying to these people when he's reaching out. Maybe it means I'm not suicidal, crazy or evil. He won't hurt you, even though he truly wants to. Because he's taken a dark road. All manipulation to hide true intentions. Or masking one self to appear normal in front of others yet at the same time hiding your dark nature.

Nirvana and grunge wasn’t there to make anyone comfortable. They were changing the rules and changing the world. That’s a lot of pressure on someone

i've always thought he's just smooshing "memory of" into sounding like memoria

He was very eerie! At one of his concerts they did this thing to make it look like kurt was dead & had people freaked out. He said it was bcuz there was always a rumor he was dead. The stage was pretty eerie also!! Him & Courtney Love almost lost their baby to social services bcuz of heroin addiction! Kurt had had severe stomach issues his whole life & when he found he cud ease the pain with herion, he never looked back!! Some ppl after using so long, it turns into a worse pain & then they are addicted.

Live he would pronounce words all different for double meanings & effect affect. Listen in dark w headphones a must. True art the Sinatra Picasso of Grunge

Seattle boy is here to watch this amazing reaction 😊

I think I read the line “I don’t have a gun” was related to a domestic abuse incident with his parents. There were similar incidents with him and Courtney.

Nirvana - Aneurysm (Live at Reading 1992) to see what the hype was really about

Memoria was the term for aspects involving memory in Western classical rhetoric. The word is Latin, and can be translated as "memory". Loved your reaction, there are several theories about what this song is about but Kurt once said it's about accepting people as they are not what you want them to be.

Dude yesterday a coworker played this and I was just thinking, they could've kept a simple guitar tone and still would've sounded good (talking about the intro / main guitar chord), but they just went 1 step further and added that hollow effect to it. Just perfect

My fav song to play on the drums high af xD what a great song

Someone will surely mention this, but he asked for the stage at MTV unplugged to be decorated with candles and lilies as though it was a funeral. He had overdosed in Rome shortly before MTV unplugged because he was suspicious that Courtney had been with another man

Oh man! Just graduated high school and this grunge scene hits!! Love it!!! 🤘🏼 wished I’d seen them! I did see Pearl Jam and so many other grunge/alternative bands! Went to the same festival every year & saw everyone! #GenX

Gun was also used as the double meaning of handgun & gun as a man’s pants pistol being called gun. That’s why called Come as you are every extreme
