    ABOUT…
    I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it's true. So what's motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn't an easy time but I won't let fear dictate my life. I didn't think 'why me', there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it's not always smooth sailing. It's true when you hear, 'Life is short', the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It's so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
    Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

    as a teenager in the 90s, nirvana was always in my top 3 favorite bands. not because they were technical perfectionists or did things with their instruments that other people couldnt, but because they- most especially kurt- put the emotion into every element of the music and did it in a way that was never whiney. truly a shame that kurt left us early.

    While he may not be the most technically impressive vocalist he is (and this album in particular) is a masterclass in how to emote, connect with your audience and just leave people FEELING something. The deep breath at the end, where his bright blue eyes flash open, right before the last note still and will always send chills through me.

      You also have to remember that Nirvana was a polar opposite from the mainstream at the time. During the late 80s/early 90s, rock was dominated by hair metal bands: Bon Jovi, Poison, Skid Row, Warrant, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, and, of course, Guns N' Roses. Hair metal was all about style over substance, about hiding your true self behind spandex and make-up, and the objectification of women, outside of the occasional power ballad. Probably because of MTV, mainstream rockers were constantly putting on a show in all aspects of their life. Obviously, Nirvana wasn't the first band to push back against the mainstream, but they broke through in a way that Jane's Addition or Sonic Youth never could, and obliterated the mould. What you got with Kurt, in particular, was always 100% authentic. Nirvana lived on real emotion, not fake ballads hidden behind a costume, changing not only music but also challenging our concept of masculinity.

    Butch Vig, who produced "Nevermind" said that during recording of the album that he, (Vig) would sometimes trick Kurt into singing multiple parts by saying things like "Oh, we didn't get it that take, we need to do another." This was of course a just ruse to 'thicken' up the sound, and Kurt would nail it every time, making multi-layering the vocals easy for Butch and later mastering. Kurt Cobain was an underrated singer.

  • @gripenfelter
    @gripenfelter Před 3 lety +89

    "In the Pines", also known as "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" and "My Girl", is a traditional American folk song originating from two songs, "In the Pines" and "The Longest Train", both of whose authorship is unknown and date back to at least the 1870s. The songs originated in the Southern Appalachian area of the United States in the contiguous areas of Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky, Western North Carolina and Northern Georgia.[1][2]
    Versions of the song have been recorded by many artists in numerous genres, but it is most often associated with American bluegrass musician Bill Monroe and American blues musician Lead Belly, both of whom recorded very different versions of the song in the 1940s and 1950s.[3]
    A version of the song performed by the Four Pennies reached the UK top-twenty in 1964.[4] A live performance by the American grunge band Nirvana reinterpreted Lead Belly's version and was recorded during their MTV Unplugged performance in 1993.[5][6]
    Like numerous other folk songs, "In the Pines" was passed on from one generation and locale to the next by word of mouth. In 1925, a version of the song was recorded onto phonograph cylinder by a folk collector. This was the first documentation of "The Longest Train" variant of the song, which includes a verse about "The longest train I ever saw". This verse probably began as a separate song that later merged into "In the Pines". Lyrics in some versions about "Joe Brown's coal mine" and "the Georgia line" may refer to Joseph E. Brown, a former Governor of Georgia, who famously leased convicts to operate coal mines in the 1870s. While early renditions which mention the head in the "driver's wheel" make clear that the decapitation was caused by the train, some later versions would omit the reference to the train and reattribute the cause. As music historian Norm Cohen pointed out in his 1981 book, Long Steel Rail: The Railroad in American Folksong, the song came to consist of three frequent elements: a chorus about "in the pines", a verse about "the longest train" and a verse about a decapitation, but not all elements are present in all versions.[7][8]
    Starting in 1926, commercial recordings of the song were made by various country artists. In her 1970 Ph.D. dissertation, Judith McCulloh found 160 permutations of the song.[9] As well as rearrangement of the three frequent elements, the person who goes into the pines, or who is decapitated, is described as a man, woman, adolescent, husband, wife, or parent, while the pines can be seen as representing sexuality, death, or loneliness. The train is described as killing a loved one, as taking one's beloved away, or as leaving an itinerant worker far from home.[7]
    In variants in which the song describes a confrontation, the person being challenged is always a woman. The folk version by the Kossoy Sisters asks, "Little girl, little girl, where'd you stay last night? Not even your mother knows." The reply to the question, "Where did you get that dress/ And those shoes that are so fine?" from one version is, "From a man in the mines/Who sleeps in the pines."[7] The theme of a woman being caught doing something she should not is thus also common to many variants. One variant, performed in the early twentieth century by the Ellison clan (Ora Ellison, deceased) in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, tells of a young Georgia girl who flees to the pines after being raped. Her rapist, a male soldier, is later beheaded by the train.
    Some versions of the song also reference the Great Depression, with the "black girl" being a hobo on the move from the police, who witnesses the murder of her father while train-jumping. She hides from this by sleeping in the pines, in the cold.

      That kind of singing can really damage your vocal chords if you don't know what you're doing, so she was setting kobain as a good example: Starting slowly and preparing oneself, warming vocal chords and setting posture before diving into that. Many singers just start "screaming" from the go, and they won't last long in the field, for sure.

      I often wonder that. I think he was headed in a more acoustic singer/songwriter direction. He had said in an interview he was sick of 3-chord grunge and was ready to move on. No telling if Nirvana would still be a huge presence like the Foo Fighters still are or if they'd have faded into obscurity like Pearl Jam.

He played the bass lines on All Along the Watchtower because Noel Redding got fed up with Hendrix spending too much time on this one track and walked out. Jimi played the bass line right handed as that's all there was in the studio. The backwards stringing of his guitar was part of his tone however due to how it changed the response of the pickups.

    I've watched the video version of this live performance more times than I can recall. In my opinion, its the most ironic unplugged album of all time. Kurt's raw voice, the songs played, the lore surrounding Nirvana, and the absolute cult following (myself included). I genuinely think this is the greatest band of all time. They didn't sell the most records, or have the most flare, but they were themselves and the newer generations who didn't get to experience Nirvana, still buy their merchandise. Unknowingly, they're keeping Nirvana alive after all these years.

      Kind of disagree. Nobody is forced to be a star. The band members openly say they wanted success and recognition. The real problem is when you get there and it’s not how you thought, then it’s hard to back out, when you’re as big as they were. But I guess when you start, you probably think you can maintain your ethos as an artist and have big success at the same time but you can’t, not when the industry get their claws into your millions

    Kurt (he's credited on the liner notes as "Kurdt" Cobaine, at least on my copy) did backing vocals for his friend Mark Lanegan's version of this song on Lanegan's solo album "The Winding Sheet" which was released in 1990. That version was not acoustic, but rather a dark and brooding electric take on this folk classic typically associated with Leadbelly. Lanegan was the lead singer from Screaming Trees, another Seattle-based grunge band. Several other members of Nirvana appeared on the album, as well.
