    Apparently Bowie liked Kurt's version. "I was simply blown away when I found that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and have always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering 'The Man Who Sold the World'" and that "it was a good straight forward rendition and sounded somehow very honest. It would have been nice to have worked with him, but just talking with him would have been real cool."
    Bowie called Nirvana's cover "heartfelt".
    "If the mark of a good cover is that people do not even realize it's a cover, Nirvana certainly did a good job"

    Bowie (as far as i know) wrote this song with the influence of his brother, who was a cultured and intelligent young man that had dealt with serious mental health issues. Bowie had a good relationship with him, he also introduced many aspects of art and philosophy to Bowie, definitely influencing Bowie’s art. Bowie told that his brother would sometimes go on long trips and dissappear for long times. One day he went on another one of these trips, and eventually committed suicide by lying on the railway.
    RIP to all those beatiful souls we lost who were fighting their own demons.

    "The Man Who Sold The World"
    We passed upon the stairs
    We spoke of was and when
    Although I wasn't there
    He said I was his friend
    Which came as a surprise
    I spoke into his eyes
    I thought you died alone
    A long long time ago
    Oh no, not me
    We never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world
    I laughed and shook his hand
    And made my way back home
    I searched for foreign land
    For years and years I roamed
    I gazed a gazely stare
    We walked a million hills
    I must have died alone
    A long, long time ago
    Who knows? Not me
    I never lost control
    You're face to face

      He wasn't there again today
      I wish, I wish he'd go away...
      When I came home last night at three
      The man was waiting there for me
      But when I looked around the hall
      I couldn't see him there at all!
      Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
      Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... (slam!)
      Last night I saw upon the stair
      A little man who wasn't there
      He wasn't there again today
      Oh, how I wish he'd go away...

      +mclarenV12 So what you are basically saying is that it is "smart" to OD on heroin and blow your head off in order to commit suicide, along with that you are sure that such a death would be painless.
      How the fuck do you know what it is like to die with a bullet to your head even if you are high?
      Where people mourn Kurt's death, you say that it is smart to die in such a manner and not to tolerate certain bullshit that surrounds the artists. You must be depressed yourself for having said such crap.

      +mclarenV12 You need to get a life dude. I was just talking about you not judging another person's way of committing suicide. Although that is true that people nowadays are becoming more and more narcissistic, but it has existed since the story came into existence.
      Although your fake hypotheses is based upon your high school grade CNS based Biology which you have cleverly combined with your bullshit theory of dying while OD on drug in order to avoid any pain. You are no one to comment on that, fucking shithead.
      My own grandfather succumbed to cancer and I know how painful and dreadful that disease is all about.
      There are other people who have the will to survive as well.
      I'd rather recommend you to stop making your fake hypotheses and pretending as if you are a mature 30 y.o. arse and stop whining over this ever changing society. Nothing is stagnant in this life, accept it as it comes to you rather than crying like a li'l bitch and saying that you are mature enough to understand things whilst all you are doing is crying and saying that it is "better to die" after having seen everything change around you.

    Although I wasn't there
    He said I was his friend
    Which came as a surprise
    I spoke into his eyes
    I thought you died alone
    A long, long time ago
    Oh, no, not me
    We never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world
    I laughed and shook his hand
    And made my way back home
    I searched from form and land
    For years and years I roamed
    I gazed the gazeless stare
    We walked a millions hills
    I must have died alone
    A long, long time ago
    Who knows? Not me
    I never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world
    Who knows? Not me
    We never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world

      ​@@JudgementKazzy87 The lyrics of both songs (David Bowie and Nirvana) are different, in the first one Bowie speaks about how its dealing with his alter ego (Zigie Stardust, a role that he played in 70's) and the way how the alter ego and Bowie becomes one after he realizes the alter ego always have been with him; by the other hand, in Nirvana's version Kurt speaks that he accepts his "past me" but his "present me" can't coexist with him and now (sort of like their personalities are separating from each other), in the way that he sings it, he's resigned of how's his life and how he lost his path; we can see this subtrama in the way that in the first song starts with "I" and ends with "We" and in the second one, starts with "We" and ends with "I".
