- “All Apologies” by Nirvana is the last song on the band that rocked a generation’s third and last album, In Utero. If the last song on an album is an indication of what might come next in musical terms from a band, fans may have had many more textured, beautiful, dynamic songs like it to look forward to, had Kurt Cobain not died at age 27 just months after it was released. Like many of his songs, the lyrics are often misheard, and even those misheard lyrics seem to make sense when he sang them. Unravel the lyrics and story of this haunting and timeless song, forever a reminder of a once-in-a-lifetime talent gone too soon, in this episode of the Behind The Song podcast.

For the "find my nest of salt" lyric, I always wondered if this may be referring to the nest of the albatross. These birds can drink seawater and excrete the salt through glands, making salt mounds near the nests. I thought he might have read something about that in a nature magazine of the time, and the line could be a poetic way of saying something like he's making a home from his excretions, or even more poetically (or tragically) from tears. A nest made from the brine of tears. Just a thought. I remember chancing on some article about the albatross and their nesting habits and thinking "aha!" about that lyric, but who knows?
i love this song and when i first heard it, i saw Nirvana on Unplugged years ago. I fell in love w/the band and started listening to all their music. Wish u were still here w/us Curt Cobain R.I.P. forever
This is extraordinary, in glad i found this page. The narration was just so catching and envolving.
I was driving,tahoe,news came over the radio,kurt died,pulled over and cried❤
Kinda stumbled upon this video as I was scrolling. I've been looking for content like this for a long time! Just browsing through your playlist, I'm eager to jump in to even more of your content!
Awesome job again Janda...Thanks for the insight to this troubled soul and the understanding of his lyrics!!!
Thanks Michael! It wasn’t easy to write about. I’m glad you liked it!
Great job Janda Thanks for the understanding of this song So Sad
He really does seem to sing different lyrics to alot of his songs. Some of these lyrics to All Apologies sound so different than when you hear his vocals.
Love this... That was beautiful.
Song randomly popped into my head today and I just thought what a fcking great song. One of the catchiest opening riffs of all time. So satisfying and infectious
Janda, thank you so much for your interpretations. This one makes so much more sense now than when I had my own after his passing. Maybe it's just hearing it through someone else's words. I'd always considered this to be his first suicide note, but he couldn't do it for one reason or another. In a way, I can identify with that. Saying goodbye is hard, especially when you're under obligations and other pressures. You want to leave, but don't want to let those close to you down. But I'm still here, and to this day we still have his music, which will be looked at for generations to come. Again, I thank you.
You’re so very welcome!
It was one,of the best
Excellent
Thanks so much for this channel
Very enriching
Many thanks!
Having a lot of money/obligations/pressure/stress/attention/adoration/demands piling up on you probably isn`t pleasant.
I’m still going to hear ‘found my next assault’
Another fabulous video. Another great story about a corner stone band. Even of the sound of grunge didn't last the entire decade, the style of lyrics did.
Thank you! Nirvana was special among them all. Glad you liked this one!
I just moved from Aberdeen WA. Well, Ocean Shores then Seattle was where I was born. Aberdeen ain't so bad. It's down the road from the beautiful Pacific ocean beachea

Very interesting analysis. Not all has to be true, but still very interesting.
Interesting also sad.
It would have been lovely to see what he would have done next. Sad indeed.
He was a geunius' a good kreater',good minstreal'.and he endure the pain of drug enslavement'.
It’s pronounced genius
Genius'
11:36 Wrong info
Way to go again janda but I always thought that song was kind of a suicide letter to his fans
It eerily played out that way, but he wrote it years before. Thanks John!
@@behindthesongpodcast learn something new everyday
Ill proceed from shame
I thought he wrote it for his daughter Frances Bean Cobain.
The part I wish I was like you easily amused is about his daughter being a baby and laughing at anything or just being happy as a baby
I forgot what a great song this is, or is it just Christians masterful strumming?! Nice work, Janda.
Thanks Sean. Christian really brought this one to life.
yu are so cute,Janda,,strong and strang name.....but stories abaut sons is very nice,i like to wach you ,,,so aftr all where is Cobain child ,,she is about 30 yrs now ...maybi sing or she is ...just anonime/..I like Nirvana in h school and half Europa from then listn grunge, ..poz
A boy ?? that's a very old "boy" at the age of 27
She's talking about when he started
He was never ever Pro lgbtq he may have been Pro gay and lesbian but the lgbtq in its current form did not exist then I know that it didn't because it was not anywhere near what it is now he didn't support a lot of the weirdness that exists now
