      So sorry for your loss. Nirvana was a truly magical band and that is so awesome that you are able to connect these timeless, beautiful songs with her memory. If you haven't, you should check out other Nirvana albums like Nevermind, In Utero, Live at Reading 92, and Live at the Paramount. Nirvana completely changed the face of music forever during their relatively short existence (1987-1994).

      I feel the same way. I’m only 20, and I was born years before he died, but reading his diary entries and listening to his music brings some sort of strong connection to me. I understand his depression and the way that he felt about himself. Maybe it’s weird but it’s almost refreshing for there to have been someone who was so famous and loved that had the same issues as I do.

    "Plateau"
    (originally by The Meat Puppets)
    Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
    Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
    Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
    To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
    There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
    And an illustrated book about birds
    You see a lot up there but don't be scared
    Who needs action when you got words
    When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
    And look at what you've done
    The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
    And the work it was fun
    There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
    And an illustrated book about birds
    You see a lot up there but don't be scared
    Who needs action when you got words
    Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
    Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico
    Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
    But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

    The Outro (which is beautiful) as it begins and goes on, is in your face w/ its beauty and then it seems like Kurt Cobain starting to hum was an ‘in the moment’ thing and guitar Kirkwood realized it, loved it and dialed himself back so that those hums could come through; just wonderful...
