    Why does this have thumbs down? The god damned song is over 20 years old. It's been played 50 trillion times on the radio every day. Can't a new, brilliant artist give a creative cover version a try? Nirvana snobs are the worst. This is dope!!!

      +Mac Lethal Its because Nirvana is like this untouchable entity that people think should never be covered and they just blindly dislike covers because of their god like worship of Kurt Cobain. Even when the cover is fantastic like this, they will dislike it. Also especially because it is country which many people in music tend look down upon as a genre and rightly so in some cases, but they should not here because Sturgill Simpson is one of the rare great country artists of today and his new album is a great breath of fresh air in such a debased genre that is country music.

      Agreed! Good song works in almost every genre and there's always a possibility for a new edge. Like "Always on my mind" - it was great to begin with and PSB made their own kind of great. Or "Toxic" - practically any "Toxic" cover is at least interesting.

It's amazing to see how that friendship developed, then fell apart during Adams' administration and subsequent re-election campaign, only to be rekindled later in their lives. But what am I on babbling on about, Mr. Adams (who seems to have excellent taste in music) could no doubt tell us all about it :)

    I love how Sturgill adds that line after "don't know what it means" where he sings "to love someone". It completely changes the meaning of the song. Nirvana's version of this song was about the alienation they felt by the crowds of people at their shows who sang along with the words but didn't know what they meant. Sturgill's version is about how the song made him feel when he was a teenager. Ironic that he falls right into Cobain's trap, and yet reimagines the song as something beautiful in a whole different way.

    Whenever I would take my little wiener dog out for car rides I’d always play this song. I honestly felt like he liked it and was always relaxed with it playing.
    He sadly passed away a few months ago and I haven’t been able to listen to this song without tearing up, especially the very last 10 seconds of it. Every time I get to the last 10 seconds, i always imagine him ascending with little wings and a halo and flying upwards into a sunset.
    Anyway, I don’t think there could have been a better way to cover this song. Sturgill did a very phenomenal job and this song will always be something bigger than I thought it would ever be.

  • @007ajhermann
    @007ajhermann Před 8 lety +51

    Sturgill wrote this album for his son after discovering a letter his grandfather wrote to his wife and infant child while he was in Japan during WW2. His grandfather did not think he was going to live, so the letter was a farewell/advice to his child. It moved Strugill so much that he wanted this album to be a letter to his own son. For this song, I believe Sturgill wanted to teach his son about the temptations and behavior exhibited by adolescents. He wants his son to treat women with love and respect. And if you can do that, it can be a beautiful and happy thing, Which is why I think the horns were added. They represent happiness. The music video get's much more cheerful when the horns come in, as well.
    And for the record, I love this version of the song.

  • @JeremyHurtt
    @JeremyHurtt Před 7 lety +426

    Two things...
    If you're bitching about the lyric changes, just stop. Kurt made a song about teenage angst and conformity, and Sturgill morphed it into a song about finding yourself through finding connection (the fact he did that with a small handful of words is a testament to his ability and insight). Had Kurt lived to be a 50-year-old man, I have zero doubt that this version would speak to him more today than does the original. It's an evolution of the song, not an attempt to copy it.
    And on that note, if you're complaining that he "stole" the song, or "did it wrong", just stop. As a huge Nirvana fan from the jump, let me just point out that Kurt's "genius" was mostly writing and playing 50's pop songs using punk concepts. EVERYBODY BORROWS EVERYTHING. There is no true 'originality' in music, though acts like Nirvana and Sturgill Simpson come about as close as anything we get these days.

It's so, so about Kurt: the Kurt who alchemized dissatisfaction and wanted love...the Kurt who made it home. Honestly I can't watch this video without getting a little teary-eyed. Sturgill makes all this possible, people. You can't help but feel the stark legitimacy of his music: how plugged-in to himself, his subject matter, and the art of music-making he is. We don't see his kind too often, so take note.

That classic country voice, fresh lyrical content, serious songwriting chops, a shit-hot band, and sensitivity enough to offer both very true-to-the-original covers (e.g., his version of "I Never Go Around Mirrors" by Keith Whitley) and complete reimaginings like this song. Plus his Waffle House bits with Stephen Colbert were a gas. :)

So my reply isn't even applicable, Nirvana didn't do In Bloom on their unplugged album so you can't listen to it anyways. This is cool and different it just feels like it's dragging too much for my liking and the drums are epic they make the song. Listen to the covers above I posted about and you'll see how they took a sing and covered it made it way different and their own and it's better. In Bloom just needs those drums IMO and the dirty guitar solo it would be like covering Thunderstruck without the main riff in it. It can be done but the level of creativity and skill needed to take out one of the focuses of the song completely is incredible difficult and I don't think he nailed it with this if this was heart shaped box or a different nirvana sing I'd probably dignity but because they took those drums out and weren't creative enough to make me forget they existed in the original is where you lose me
