Lithium was my favorite song growing up in the early 90s when I was about 7. It is very oddly soothing. I think because it's incredibly raw and real sounding.
Without deep listening you'd think he was just talking and yelling but when you actually pay attention you realize just how talented and unique his voice is and how wonderful Kurt sounds. God bless his voice and may he rip
His voice is especially beautiful in The Man Who Sold The World. I showed the song to my mom and she was shocked to learn that it was Kurt, since usually his voice isn’t that soft when he’s singing.
You can rly notice the double vocals, if I remember correctly he didnt wanna double the vocals on the tracks but his producer explained that this is how John Lennon would do it most of the time. And that made Kurt more accepting to it.
He hated the production on this album, it was over produced and not raw sounding like he liked, while this sounds objectively better than bleach or in utero, the actuall sound on those 2 are far superior to, in kurts words, the 'squeaky' sound on this
HRT03 yep youre correct. Kurt hated double tracking and he was a big john lennon fan and butch vig would always say”john lennon did it” and kurt would end up doing it after that lol
He was very talented and intentional with his little "yodels" and cracks. That's why I love to listen to this isolated because you can really hear the nuance he had in his voice that was sometimes drowned out.
Kurt was an innovative songwriter and a damn good singer. His "screams" here are top notch during the chorus. His pitch is right on. People who bashed the band just didn't have ears to hear with.
Kevin Brown considering most people like overrated bands like led zeppelin, with those god awful vocals, I don't think many people know ''bad shit from good shit''
TruthSurge actually if you hear he singing live he cant do it, i like it but he just loses his voice doing it because he does NOT know how to do it in the right way
The lyrics mean nothing yet everything at the same time... his voice is perfection and horror mixed into one. For these reasons and so many more, he was OUR voice. He always will be. I miss him. Still. Forever.
True. That’s why I don’t miss him. Because I just knew his music and talents and those are still with us. When he was alive most of us just watched him playing on tv and even if u went to a couple concerts there’s no way to miss him cause there wasn’t a personal relationship. I do miss my best friend who passed away a couple years ago but I don’t miss Kurt Cobain cause all that I knew from him was his music...and I still can listen to it or watch his videos .
Michael Jackson had a good voice. Freddie Mercury had an incredible voice. But don't forget about Kurt Cobain, he also had a really nice voice when you hear the vocals only
HE for shadowed so many things in his early song and clearly this one well before he even had a family... look at the song dumb its almost about the his whole career form start to finish and how we feel inadequate of being the voice for everyone and hated fame and how he was just an other humane being just like everyone else with feeling and emotions we all possess !:)
I wouldn't call myself a fan, but when I heard this song the first time on the radio I immediately went out and bought the album. Without a doubt the most important song of the 90's.
Agreed...same. Try screaming like that in key and it sound that explosive and good in a music context. I remember Dave Grohl once saying how Kurts voice was this beautiful combo of melody and grit. He described his voice as "boiling nails" in his throat.
Vince D if you're referring to the music it's because instrumentals act like a form of brainwashing and distract us from the true inner beauty of the vocals
What a natural at multi-tracking his voice. If you listen really closely you can hear one's a bit more ragged than the other on those section, but timing-wise, it's as perfect as you can get. Damn.
Kurt and Nirvana has always been special, they were a much more different sound than anything else going on, Kurt's voice was so unique and amazing, you can actually hear the anger in his screams, not just because he wanted to scream but because he needed to.
People have no idea how tight these vocals are, to make double tracks sound this good,so identical that they almost sound like a chorus effect on one single track, it takes a good ear like kurt’s to pull off something with this quality, and an amazing producer like Matt Wallace as well. Even though Kurt wasn’t technically proficient as a vocalist he was an amazing song and melody writer, and he had visceral and raw and very powerful vocals.
@@buttturkeyclips4891 Butch did produce with them, and there is indeed a butch version of smells like teen spirit, but I think they ended up using Matt’s version because it sounded better. Only thing I don’t know is if butch came first to produce the song or if it was matt

Not really "one of a kind" since like everyone can imitate his singing style quite easily. Im not discrediting him in anyway since people now see it as his type of singing.
I know Kurt is still rocking out somewhere in the afterlife, he was, and still is, truly a legend. I know how it feels to deal with depression, (not trying to make a self pity party), and I wish someone would've stepped in and helped, but it's no one's fault. I hope Kurt knows how many lives he's changed, and I hope he's in a better place. Rest in peace Kurt, you will be missed. 🤘🏻

PIlotrcm on the prechorus and chorus. It's actually quite common. Back then Kurt didn't want to do it when Butch Vig suggested it. Then Vig said, "John Lennon did it." Kurt: "Okay, lets do it."
It's called double tracking. You record it twice and pan one to the left and the other to the right. Really common in music with heavily distorted guitars.
I grew up on Nirvana in my early teens. This made me cry. You can hear his pain in every song. I think that’s why so many people are still drawn to them. They put our pain into the universe and we can all relate still. RIP.
He used to have to guzzle cough syrup on a regular basis he said.Also I think his stomach ailment was linked somehow to his screaming.He suffered for his art.R.I.P.
T K Don't get me wrong I love Nirvana. I was a teenager in the 90s but his "stomach alignment" was from heroin use. Ask any heroin user how their stomach feels. Dude had a serious habit. He said himself he medicated himself with heroin.
Usually these are revealing of vocal flaws and how reliant artists are on effects. Not this one though. It just shows how incredible his voice was. Rest in peace, you beautiful man.
My best friend is also a Nirvana fan such as myself. We are the only ones who listen to Nirvana at our class. When we were at a party pretty drunk we sang this masterpiece with everything we had. One of the best moments of my life. Also after both of my grandparents died I listened to this just to escaped from the pain of real life. This small thing helped me not to fall into depression. Grandma and Grandpa also Kurt, you shall be never forgotten, rest in peace!!!
The way he hits the notes on "tooooo pretend" is so crushingly beautiful when you isolate it like this. Like the note sticks out different or hits different without the other instrumentation especially the note on "-tend." Holy hell. It's way more...mournful almost. No wonder pianists love to cover this. It's very dramatic!

My best friend is also a Nirvana fan such as myself. We are the only ones who listen to Nirvana at our class. When we were at a party pretty drunk we sang this masterpiece with everything we had. One of the best moments of my life. Also after both of my grandparents died I listened to this just to escaped from the pain of real life. This small thing helped me not to fall into depression. Grandma and Grandpa also Kurt, you shall be never forgotten, rest in peace!!!
When he says Hello, I about died. It sounds so freaking cool!!! omg! I love this.
Yea i felt like my head is exploding!
And my brain tissues are blasting all over the room! man, that was strong
So that's what an angel sounds like. 😀
hey
yay
gets me all the time.
RIP Kurt 2022 and your music is still alive ❤❤

Beeswax indeed. I GOT MY DIDDLY SPAYEDDDDDDDDD
IM DYING TO HEAR BIG LONG NOW
What about Paper Cuts? I know I'm a year late to the thread, but still, I think it would be interesting.
It's like Kurt's singing me a lullaby :)
And dave
Dave isn't singing on this track. @@sabredivision509
The production on these vocals is so crisp and loose at the same time. Phenomenal
I honestly don't know why, but this made me cry so much. It's incredible. I love this so much. I don't know why.
Well, that's pretty haunting and beautiful at the same time.
Rare that a piece of music gets better with time. Nothing exactly like it.
"Oh well, whatever, never mind." Defining words for anyone who was a teenager in the 90s.
O grito dele vem da alma incrível.
I haven't heard just the vocals this is amazing he wrote a true anthem
The way he hits the notes on "tooooo pretend" is so crushingly beautiful when you isolate it like this. Like the note sticks out different or hits different without the other instrumentation especially the note on "-tend."
Holy hell. It's way more...mournful almost. No wonder pianists love to cover this. It's very dramatic!
Nirvana is the Pinnacle of music, its what everyone was or wanted to be.
actually it wasnt only vocal cords my head filled in the instruments am i the only one?
his voice just explodes and radiates through him. its amazing really.
This songs got some potential! Will be fun to see what becomes of it!
He wasn’t afraid of anything but was yet so frightened
