NIRVANA

Nirvana was an American rock band that was formed by singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987. Nirvana went through a succession of drummers, the longest-lasting being Dave Grohl, who joined the band in 1990.In the late 1980s Nirvana established itself as part of the Seattle grunge scene, releasing its first album Bleach for the independent record label Sub Pop in 1989. The band eventually came to develop a sound that relied on dynamic contrasts, often between quiet verses and loud, heavy choruses. After signing to major label DGC Records, Nirvana found unexpected success with “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, the first single from the band’s second album Nevermind (1991). Nirvana’s sudden success widely popularized alternative rock as a whole, and the band’s frontman Cobain found himself referred to in the media as the “spokesman of a generation”, with Nirvana being considered the “flagship band” of Generation X.[1] Nirvana’s third studio album In Utero (1993), challenged the group’s audience, featuring an abrasive, less-mainstream sound. The album didn’t match the sales figures of Nevermind but was still a commercial success.

IN BLOOM

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak

I’ve been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week

I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap

I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

Hey Wait

I’ve got a new conplaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hate Haight

I’ve got a new complaint Forever in debt to your prieless advice

Hey Wait

I’ve got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet

Cut myself angel’s hair and baby’s breath

Broken hymen of your highness I’m left black

Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back.

I don’t care what you think unless it is about me

It is now my duty to completely drain you

A travel through a tube and end up in your

infection

Chew your meat for you Pass it back and forth, in

a passionate kiss From my mouth to yours,

because I like you

With eyes so dilated, I’ve become your pupil You’ve taught me

everything without a poison apple

The water is so yellow, I’m a healthy student

Indebted and so grateful, vacuum out the fluids

Chew your meat for you Pass it back and forth, in

a passionate kiss From my mouth to yours,

slopply lips to lips You’re my vitamins

because I’m like you

I need an easy friendI do with an ear to lend

I do think you fit this shoeI do but you have a clue

I’ll take advantage whileYou hang me out to dry

But, I can’t see you every nightFree

I’m standing in your lineI do hope you have the time

I do pick a number toI do keep a date with you

I’ll take advantage whileYou hang me out to dry

But, I can’t see you every nightFree

I need an easy friendI do with an ear to lend

I do think you fit this shoeI do but you have a clue

Is the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991. Produced by Butch Vig, Nevermind was the group’s first release on DGC Records. Frontman Kurt Cobain sought to make music outside the restrictive confines of the Seattle grunge scene, drawing influence from groups such as the Pixies and their use of song volume.

IN UTEROIn Utero is the third and final studio album released on September 13, 1993, on DGC Records. Nirvana intended the record to diverge significantly from the polished production of its previous album, Nevermind (1991). To capture a more abrasive and natural sound, the group hired producer Steve Albini to record In Utero during a two-week period in February 1993 at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

B L E A C HBleach is the debut studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released in June 1989 through the independent record label Sub Pop. The main recording sessions took place at Reciprocal Recording in Seattle, Washington between December 1988 and January 1989. Nirvana songwriter Kurt Cobain felt pressured to create music for Bleach that conformed to the grunge music style favored by his record label and the contemporary Seattle music scene. The album is regarded as quite negative and bleak; Cobain claimed that most of the lyrics were written the night before recording while he was feeling “pissed off”, and that he did not regard them highly. The recording of the album was financed by Jason Everman, who was credited as a guitarist but did not play on any songs.

What’s the season of love if you can’t have everything? What’s the reason you’re around if a crime means

anything? What’s the meaning in a crime? It’s a crime if

anything What’s the meaning of love?

It’s grand, it’s grand

How a culture comes again, it’s a crime of yesterday And you swear it’s not a trend, doesn’t matter

anyway

There’s no need to talk to friends, nothin’ new is

everyday You could shit upon the stairs, you’ll be friends You’ll be friends [3X]

All the kids will eat it up, if it’s packaged properly

Should the siren irritate, keep it movin’ equally

Not to know is just the fact, we’re a problem nowadays

An idea is what we lack, doesn’t matter anyway

All the kids will eat it up, if it’s packaged properly

Still the son will imitate, keep it fallin’ equally Not to know is just

the facts, we’re worse nowadays

An idea is what we lack, doesn’t matter anyway

Hey? hey? hey? hey? hey? hey?

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea Distill the life that’s inside of me...

roamed

I gazed a gazeless stare At all the millions there I must have died alone A long long time ago

With the man who sold the world

Who knows, not me We never lost control You’re face to face

NIRVANACobain described the sound of Nirvana when it first started as “a Gang of Four and Scratch Acid ripoff”.[50] Later when Nirvana recorded Bleach, Cobain felt he had to fit the expectations of the Sub Pop grunge sound to build a fanbase, and hence suppressed his arty and pop songwriting traits while crafting the record in favor of a more rocking sound.[82] Nirvana biographer Michael Azerrad argued, “Ironically, it was the restrictions of the Sub Pop sound helped the band find its musical identity”. Azerrad stated that by acknowledging that its members had grown up listening to Black Sabbath and Aerosmith, the band was able to move on from its derivative early sound.
