Kurt Cobain, I mean someone has got to give it to him man.....to add the exact tenor of pain into the mood, just by his baritone.
ReplyDeleteBaritone?? Umm.. it sounds weakish & dopey to me.. but the fact is it's SO perfect for the songs he sang!
DeleteSome songs just relate to us clearly..
ReplyDeleteTrue :)
DeleteI love this song! its the perfect teen post-break up song after wicked game by chris isaac. ;) hadnt heard the David bowie version before. its another level.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess it's childish to compare the two versions.. But I know which one's gonna stay in my playlist for a long, long time. B)
DeleteNot just this one either, the album has a few covers that are better than the originals (which is like so very exciting because I love covers). "Where did you sleep last night" feels like I'm being pulled apart by two trains. Every time. That man was a God.
ReplyDeleteOh no, you HAD to bring that one up. I should ready for a second session of Cobain hangover in my head..
DeleteKurt was one of the best vocalist the industry could have ever seen, or would be seeing. I love this song, since long, and everytime I hear it after a huge gap, it hooks me to its crunchy yet melodic tones!
ReplyDeleteAmazing piece of music this is...
Never seen anyone who wasn't moved to some degree by this music.. :)
