- Its my first lyric video so sorry if its shit (some stuff's probably not even accurate but there's hella versions to this)
People have been asking, so the exact version of this is titled "Intro/ Old Age/ Low Rider (4 track demo)"
I dont own this my guy - Hudba
Hey guys, thank you all for the support! Looking back the editing is atrocious so I might fix it soon lol (made this when I was 13). Anywho, this version isn't on Spotify unfortunately but hopefully someone puts it up! Hope y'all are staying safe
GO HARD BROTHER 🍻🇳🇿.
I was listening to nirvana in the second year of first grade and I'm almost 40 now so, I can dig it. Cool beans.
I would still like to find that other version of this song I was talking about in my other comment. This is very close, but he pretty much puts that secret society on the the spot .
This version doesn't have real lyrics, he's just mumbling and winging it to get the melody and chords down. Your video's inaccurate, time to delet
@UCxEAgQf3Fnwqy_GtcQyrZCQ Sure he is,keep lying to yourself,or better yet fuck off.
"come insider her" that thumbnail lmao
Come inside her... Inner circle. Epic
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nocturnal Delirium I really want to know how to do that
Drake The snake copy and paste
Ikr? I was like, “Oh SchiezeB.” 😂
I've listened to this more than any Nirvana song. It just rings so true.
Its actually a great song
big long now and turnaround are my favorite.
Stuart Mccuaig I’ve been listening to turnaround all week it’s such a good cover, they really made it there own!
It's such a great one all his demos are so badass but yes this is the best version nd
@@peachybre8651 I believe this is just Kurt.
My favorite thing about Kurt is he’s a human, he doesn’t sugarcoat who he is he puts his naked image out there for everyone to judge, and that alone is so honorable. Rest In Peace Kurt
Song is about death and the belief or hope to cross over to somewhere eternal. It's actually very sad because in line he doesn't believe there to be anything after death, coming from a man who many a time sad this life is just a pitstop
Bs
I thought it was about picking up a 20 bit
@@csivaszregallakatos8738 he was lank into that shit. No religious at all but in a way he couldn't wait to get out. I think Cornell feels the same
@@johanburger6109 that is so fucking weird, bro at the end of the song Kurt says "Jesus Saves" LOL like idk, its a trip. I think kurt was a special messenger.
At least he did reach peace and some rest from his tired bones and broken heart.
The way he sings about old age is like it is an elusive thing that we never quite reach. We can only imagine the future, all we have is this moment but then one day you wake up and you're there.
Kurt's vocals are amazing in this just like 95% of nirvanas songs
What about the other 5%? Specifically, which songs?
@@darkie9891 beans , hairspray queen
@@AB9_ they are amazing there too
No , 100% of the songs :p
@@AB9_ I'll give you Beans, but Hairspray Queen is a very good display of his vocal ability
The guitar reminds me of sappy
Not if you play the guitar. Sappy is like a six or seven chord progression if I remember correctly. This is two chords back and forth with three to turn it around.
Hes in heaven sitting on a wooden tall stool with his green sweater playing for others still. And yes cobain is an Angel in heaven
Absolutely! I Love Kurt.
@RapedByRepublicansII too bad there isn't a way to know.
@@pedrokapaiva1233 just waiting for the super reigious kids to yell at you two xD
@@astrojaxson7621 lol. I mean I ain't wrong.
@@pedrokapaiva1233 oh youre not, whatsoever
I love this song sm, it makes me feel some emotion that I can't explain
It definitely makes me melancholy.Sad and happy and kind of just idk how to explain it,fading maybe? Just like soon our days are gonna be gone and none believes us because they think we're simply just an old person talking crazy
That emotion is humility. That we will age, and die one day.
It makes me sad
@@tadeuszkolak4937🥸
Old Age is my favorite song by a longshot. Ive heard it hundreds of times and it's still not enough. I miss ya, Kurt.
Its amazing how he seemingly spoke the words in a manner that really leaves it up to the listener to decide the lyrics. That alone has kept me listening for well over a decade.
This is a much rarer version of this song, but it's the one I prefer. It's great to hear it again! Are there any more versions of this online anywhere?
Sorry for the late reply, honestly I forgot where I found this version but most of the info is in the description. I'll try to find the song somewhere
Not Cobain but worth a listen!: czcams.com/video/EJFeBS0oXLk/video.html
@@nikivettis this really Kurt Cobain?
@@tomsn999 yeah I think this is just the super raw version of the song
@@tomsn999 definitely
it rlly makes me so sad to think such an amazing and talented and 1 in a billion kind of human was so broken. Kurt I hope u know ur life came of something and not nothing. U influence so many people and we all wish u were still here💔. Kurt u deserved so much better :( I hope wherever u are now u are at peace and not hurting anymore ❤️
Yes, it is such a tragedy. I sometimes wonder if Nirvana had not become such a huge rock band, would Kurt be alive? My guess is probably not.
Don't be stuck in the past
Know the truth. He was murdered
This is by far my favorite Nirvana song.
This is so peaceful kurt is truly one of a kind
The way he went with the progression in this song is like last-minute but he makes it seem so natural.
💘💘 its comfortably sad
You could say... That you're comfortably numb.
@@burnmydust yeah that one too
@@burnmydust *hellO is ANYone in there?*
@@burntcocaine5794 am here boo what's up?
@@burnmydust its the lyrics for comfortably numb
This is easily one of his best songs.
I love all songs of Nirvana but i love it this one so much Kurt R.I.P. 💔 🎸
Forever in our hearts 💝
Thanks all # nirvana and KURT Forever .. never died in our hearts .. come on ..on smule ^^ make homage 💔
god, this is just poetry,
listening to this stoned in the dead of night with the lights off is an experience...
has anybody heard a song so good that you end up crying?
this song is one of those songs
Are you god , are you god. You little boy
His voice sounds like fucking video game gibberish dialogue in this one and somehow he still pulls it off and makes me cry.
26 years gone and still so amazing. ❤
30 years now
I've imagine playing this song while driving down in an long road of desert in the dead of night.
This song is so relatable as an addict in recovery.
for sure
how ? could you explain ? i think its a pretty interesting topic
Its difficult to explain cuz that means explaining the song and what its like to be an adict. it was written by an addict its also in the lyrics eswel
Nurettin Yildiz Navruzoglu it is pretty interesting lyrics -"keep it down to one more species , one more hour and face my servants " i think maybe by servants kurt meant habits "come on higher way im begging" sounds like a comedown or a craving .
damn , thats really interesting to hear since ive never heard anyone speak so openly about it , thanks a lot for the explanation
Never heard this version before and with the lyrics too. It’s awesome years later to hear versions I haven’t heard or learn more of the words to what he’s singing and then think and wonder what it means or means to me.
Quite a thumbnail
i know you from goodsprings
I miss my dog
beezzus86 Oh no I'm sorry
nikivett don’t mind me, I’m really high right now
No one asked
@@greatglint6953 shut
@@greatglint6953 no one called you.
I Love you Kurt. He made it possible to make Alternative Rock and Get Many Alternative Rock Artists Signed. Thanks Again Kurt Baby and Nirvana Forever!
In 6th grade for the talent show, I got this black kid on bass and this kid that looked like John Lennon on drums, while did Lead Vocalist/Guitar and we did Drain You, Old Age, and School, we do the same with different bands and songs now in 11th grade, Like the first Grunge Bands (Local H, Pearl Jam, The Melvins, Nirvana)
Oh shit that's so cool. Do you guys perform anywhere? I'd love to see some videos :)
Not really, we plan on making a band called Redefyne though, when school crap is over with. You don't really get rockers from Nashville, Tennessee much, It'd be pretty damn hard to get someone to produce a bunch of highschool kids' songs, plus proper gear is an issue, amps and mics, But instruments are fine, We're set with a Epiphone sg4000 and a Fender Bronco bass, whatever drums those are, but besides extras, we can at least get on Knoxville's Rock Radio.
@@traymoneyy86 how did it go?
This is the best version of this song I’ve been watching it for years , thank you
This is the grunge bohemian rhapsody
one of the best 💚💚💚
I’ve never heard this version it’s so beautiful
I enjoy how informal the description is
Why is this version not anywhere else grr
Bilal Look up Old age low Rider and skip about a minute.
LYRICS: Verse 1]
And I am afraid
It's a fire; our house is gone
And I refrain
Are you God, are you God
Get away, no more
And now your fingers meet the floor
And now I can barely be alone
Are you one to obey me
Preach me fire and lead the way
You silent bit and I will say
"Is he in front of me or away?"
And now, and now, hey
[Verse 2]
Keep it down to one more spacious
One more howl and I feigned my service
Someday I'll find my way to something
It's not hard to believe my service
Come inside of her inner circles
Someday I won't be high, no way, it's over
[Pre-Chorus]
She seems to read minds
And I'm deaf, dumb and blind
Weight of fame I use
She's the same
[Chorus]
Old age
Old age
Old age
[Verse 3]
Some are killed and some are wounded
Some were kind and I feigned my service
Someday I won't find my way, its over
Its not fair, he believes my servants
One more hour in the week, my servants
Someday I'll allow my way to something
[Pre-Chorus]
She seems to read minds
And I'm deaf, dumb and blind
Face the face in the mirror
We survey
[Chorus]
Old age
Old age
Old age
Old age
The more I listen I pick out the mumbling. He was just messing and getting the music right. He wasn't happy with the song anyway and gave it to Courtney who changed the lyrics, I liked the Unplugged version.
I feel the same this is good but Hole's version is very good
don't know how unhappy he was since he actually considered playing it for MTV Unplugged.. he gave it to his wife but obviously changed his mind at the end of this life
I love how many versions of some older songs there are ❤
This version has taken me hours to find. They got it buried deep. Not even the same as the one I was looking for, but it is the same lyrics I was looking for. Almost, I think? Pretty close. The one I was trying to find starts out with Kurt saying some weird words, maybe in spanish, then goes into this same version. I didn't read all the lyrics, but the one I was looking for he is basically confessing Jesus as lord and kinda explained why they killed him. Something along the lines of not wanting to sacrifice his daughter.???
maybe this? czcams.com/video/Y6zQ8xID3Po/video.html
Lost forever I hope not.Where did you view it? CZcams, Dailymotion etc?
No it’s here I just listened to it

A very Intimate example of the song writing process
..................
Yeah..
This reminds me of my Hamster Jerry for some reason. I miss him.
you gave jerry the happiest life
That makes sense to me for some reason also, rip little Jerry
I love that you included the sound of kurt tuning
Jesus that beginning was incredible, where is this recording from
I think the album Montage Of Heck
ya most of of kurt's demo's are in montage of heck so its probably there
@@maggieclancy6378 it isnt.
@@vukadinstanujkic7742 right, yeah, this one's different
I got Poisons Gone vibes from the first verse. Simply amazing, and I wish this song was developed further and not forgotten
Love the editing! :)
Alot say he plays up there, but he plays for us. Maybe that's heaven.
Wtf this version is so much better :D
Strangely haunting
Some day I find my way it's over
Bro I love anyone that supports nirvana 🙏🙏
Someday I'm gonna run my way to something...
I can’t stop listening to this song it’s so good 😊
i have listened to every single nirvana song including all of the original home recordings from Kurt Cobain many many times
KITTY needzwateerr beans. You listened to beans many times? Papa Bless
Andrew R. LoL yes. I have listened to beans multiple times lol
KITTY needzwateerr RIP. Thats the one song I'll never understand. To genius for me, I guess
@@ajricherson1099 HAHA
Ok this is now my favourite version
This song really reaches inside me
omg man , this song hits different
I love this one so much
First of all: Thanks for uploading this and attempting to provide the lyrics!
Instantly I noticed parts were incorrect and without coherence.
This inspired me to attempt to capture the lyrics myself and for the past hours I've listened to it over and over and over again. My oh my what a task!
Half way through the song I decided to quit because some parts afterwards are really undecipherable for me and I'm too tired now.
Besides just listening to his words I tried to figure out what the song is about (the art itself). Many of his songs are about mast**bation and/or s*x -issues if you listen carefully (check out Spank Thru & Paper Cuts!) and I noticed the same vibe in this song.....
I tried my best to uncover his lyrics for the world to share and I would love to be corrected when needed and to collaborate with others to get to the correct version of his lyrics. So don't feel shy to correct my attempt too!
I thorougly researched and looked up meanings of possible words and some were very uncommon, but suit the context in my opinion, like "Prain' is slang for "an unfaithful person" and "Spash" means "thick whitish liquid that's ejaculated from a male p*n*s'.
The Lyrics (of the first half of the song):
And I am a prain
It’s a fire
our house is gone
hmmm hmmm
And I refrain
you gonna, you got your little war enough from draining me to poor
And know I can - baby-y - ignore.
I want to - oh baby- :
Frisbee in power and meet the very side in me
And I would say
Busy empowering me away
And I, and now, hey-ey
Keep it down, do one more spash as
One more howl and I feign my service
Someday I a-round my way to someday
It’s knock-hard to believe my service
Come inside of her inner circles
Someday I walk behind away
It’s over
She seems to realize
That I am deaf dumb and blind
Waiting for aim I use
She’s the same
Old age
Amazing lyrics, amazing voice
God I love this song
Words cannot describe this
In my nightmares I chronicled in a journal that same sentiment. Time travel, lives changed for the better.
Glad I found this song.
Masterpiece
Love this version of the song it's has a lot better quality and I can understand the song
Monumental. R. I. P Kurt 🙏🏻🦋🎸🖤🥀🥀
Oh my god. The song.... And your video is great i think.
That lift in the Bridge!!!
Superb 😘👌
I love this song
Amazing Thumbail
"Are you god?
Are you god?
You little boy"
I always loved that piece of Lyric
Can someone type out all of the lyrics so i can copy and paste them onto my phone to save them this is my favourite version of this song
And i am afraid
There's a fire, our house is gone
And i refrain
Are you God? Are you God?
You little boy
And now your fingers meet the floor
And now, like a baby, he ignores
I am one to obey me
Free spin flowers beneath your ray
Your silent bit
And i would stay
You see in front of me a way
And now i know
Hey...
Keep it down to the one more species
One more hour and i'll face my service
Someday i'm gonna run my way to something
It's not hard to believe my service
Come inside of her inner circles
Some days i walk behind a way
It's over
She seems to read minds
And i'm deaf, dumb and blind
Weigh the frame that i use
She's the same
Old age*3
Some are gone and some are wanting
Some were kind and i feigned my service
Someday i won't find my way
it's over...
It's not fair
He believes my servants
One more hour and awake my servants
Someday i will allow my way to something
She seems to read minds
And i'm dead, dumb and blind
Face to face in the mirror
We survived
Old age*4
Such a fantasy
You're all free
Come on higher way
I'm begging, see?
One more hour and i'll face my service
Come on down to relieve my servants
Someday i will have found my way to nothing
Second there, here to feign my service
One more howl and i won't be serviced
Someday i will have found my way to something
She seems to read minds
And i'm dead, dumb and blind
Weigh the fame that i use
Jesus saves
Old age*2
Jesus saves
Old age*3
That's what i heard, it can be difficult to understand
I love this song 😍😍
My favorite song
Love this
Same-
is it just me or are the demo's, live versions and lost tapes better than their actual songs?
No I agree 100%
This has been my favorite song for years, since I heard it actually, I always wonder why he never liked it that much, I kind of think that it was so good that he felt embarrassed or if he played it live or on an album he was being too "superior" cus he was always modest and respected good shit that came before him, but I think with this song he really broke into the new realm of musicality that only he did, so I suppose he could see that, but he would've felt like an arrogant prick playing it all the time, cus he always had weird guilt trips about stuff. But I think this song was his one mistake with that, I really truly think it's one of the best pieces of music ever created
Well, even though he never played it it's still good to have 2 different versions of it, thanks nikivett 4 tha uplode U da bomb!
Old age ... this so sad
Cool I've never Heard that intro for this on other copies 👍
This has an old Appalachian feel to it. Just throw in a little thump.
@nikivett im very grateful that you uploaded this, thank you 🙏🏻
He says someday I will find my way to sober
"It's such a fantasy you're all free"
This song is great... She seems to read minds.
I’m reminded of the beginning part of Credit In The Straight World by Hole. “And I will awake, your highness I’m so high I cannot walk.”
That verse/part is also in the beginning of their version of old age. Kurt gave Courtney this song, so she remade it. It's actually not too bad.
This inspires me to write a song
So many thoughts coming together at the same time.......cataclysmic ( NIRVANA ) 🎸🥁🎼🎤🎟
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE.
Sounds like what he wrote before he used it to write You Know You're Right...? Either way he was a musical genius.
Yeah I hear it.
this version have big meaning to me. ironically i just realized that its not an official version
I love listening to him
Trapped In a snow storm electric has been out a week this seems appropriate
This song is fire
Kurt cobain is god honestly he is better than anybody so called "musicians" today
Quincy Maxwell I don't know about "better" modern musicians when discussing influence. But, there are some amazing musicians out there today, you just have to find them. Most of them made a shift to blues. Meanwhile the mainstream gets hipster folk, Indy rock, pop, and hip hop. I wish blues would come back... or even this...
Quincy Maxwell YES
I listen to Adam Gontire, he covered "My Girl" by this band. I think he's pretty cool.
Guess you could say he survived old age
Actually, I think that's exactly what he meant. "Surviving" old age by not reaching old age.
Sounds Like Kurt was loaded as fuck lol but i fucking LOVE it. And after listening to all of it i realized Kurt was playing a part and trying to sound old lol
Genius
