Nirvana - Nirvana Testbericht

Ich bin schon lange ein großer Fan der Kult Grunge Band aus Seattle. Ich schreibe hier über mein absolutes Lieblingsalbum.

Allgemeines:

Es handelt sich hier um das letzte Konzert das vor dem Tod von Sänger Kurt Cobain aufgenommen wurde.

Erscheinungsdatum: 12. Juli 1993
Label: Geffen (Universal)

Tracks:

About A Girl:

\"This is a Song from the firs Record. Most People don\'t known it.\" Kurt Cobain. Nach dieser kurzen Ansprache ertönen die ersten Klänge. Das Puplikum fängt an zu jubeln. Dieser Titel ist einer der emotionalsten Songs von Nirvana.

I need an easy friend
I do... with an ear to lend
I do... think you fit this shoe
I do... but you have a clue

I\'ll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can\'t see you every night (for) free

I\'m standing in your line
I do... hope you have the time
I do... pick a number too (to or two)
I do... keep a date with you

Come As You Are:

Wohl einer der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Lieder von Nirvana, auch einer meiner Lieblingslieder. Bei diesem Song hört man das Kurt Cobain auch singen kan.

Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy.
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don\'t be late.
Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria
Memoria (x3)

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria
Memoria (x3)

And I swear that I don\'t have a gun
No I don\'t have a gun (x2)
Memoria (x3)

Memoria - and I don\'t have a gun
And I swear that I don\'t have a gun
No I don\'t have a gun (x4)
Memoria (x2)

Jesus Doesn\'t Want Me For A Sunbeam:

Ein Lied weniger Worte. Kurt Cobain wirkt in diesem Lied sehr melancholisch und nachdenklich. Stellenweise hört man fast gar keine Musik sondern nur Kurt Cobain.

Jesus don\'t want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are not made like me

Don\'t expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don\'t ever ask your love of me

Don\'t expect me to cry
Don\'t expect me to lie
Don\'t expect me to die for thee

The Man Who Sold The World

Dieses Lied coverte Nirvana von David Bowie.

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn\'t there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You\'re face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook hishand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You\'re face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Pennyroyal Tea

In diesem Lied geht es um einen Kerl an dem sein Leben vorbeizieht. Er hat viel Sch.... gebaut und hat keine Hoffnung mehr. Ein weniger bekanntes Lied, welches mir aber sehr gut gefällt. Nach einer etwas längeren Einspielphase wechseln sich leise Phasen mit weichen Gitarrenspiel mit läuterem Geschreihe von Kurt Cobain ab.

I\'m on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that\'s inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I\'m anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I\'m so tired I can\'t sleep
I\'m amemic royalty
I\'m a liar and a thief

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I\'m amemic royalty
I\'m on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

Dumb

Dieses Lied ist nicht so emotional und melancholisch geprägt wie die anderen Titel auf dieser Cd. Das hört man diesem Titel auch an.

I\'m not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I\'m having fun
I think I\'m dumb
Or maybe just happy

Think I\'m just happy (x3)

My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We\'ll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we\'ll come down
And have a hangover... have a hangover (x3)

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

I\'m not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I\'m having fun
I think I\'m dumb
Or maybe just happy

Think I\'m just happy (x3)

I think I\'m dumb (x12)

Polly

Diese Lied hat nicht wirklich eine Aussage, es geht um einen Vogel der Hunger hat und desen Käfig mal geputzt werden sollte.
Vor allem in der New Wave Version mehr ein Fun-Lied.

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
Maybe she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Isn’t me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Isn’t me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself

Polly said

Polly says her back hurts
She’s just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
’mazes me the will, of instinct

Isn’t me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself

On A Plain

Einer der schnelleren Titel auf dieser Cd.

Slap yourself
Without any words
I’ve got so high
I scratched till I bleed

Love myself
Better than you
Know it’s wrong
So what should I do

Finest day
That I ever had
Cause when I learn
Cry on the band

Love myself
Better than you
Know it’s wrong
So what should I do

I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain

My mother died
Every night
They said you see
And quote me I’m mad

Love myself
Better than you
Know it’s wrong
So what should I do

Black she got
Black nails again
You got to put
She’s offers a goat

Love myself
Better than you
Know it’s wrong
So what should I do

I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain

Somewhere out in love
There’s a fourth
In a dream
There’s memories stored

What the hell
Am I trying to say

Use that time
To make it all clear
To write off lies
That don’t make a sense

Love myself
Better than you
Know it’s wrong
So what should I do

One more special
Message to go
Then I’m done
And I can go home

Love myself
Better than you
Know it’s wrong
So what should I do

I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on aplain
I can’t complain

Something In The Way

In diesem Lied geht es darum wie das Leben unter der Brücke ausschaut. Über die Probleme, ....
Mir persönlich gefällt dieses Lied nicht, da es sehr sehr langsam und langatmig ist.

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I’ve trapped
Have all become my pets
And I’m living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It’s okay to eat fish
’cause they don’t have any feelings

(x3)
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

(x4)
Something in the way, mmm

Plateau

Dieser Song klingt ähnlich wie Lake of Fire. Es wechseln sich langsame leisere Phasen mit schnelleren textreicheren Phasen ab.

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

The 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

Oh Me

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do

I don\'t have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that\'s old news

Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?

I can\'t see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do

I don\'t have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that\'s old news

Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?

I can\'t see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see

(x2)
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me

Lake Of Fire

Eines meiner Lieblinglieder von Nirvana. Bei diesem Lied merkt man das Kurt Cobain auch singen kan. Er legte die Gitarre weg, legte die Hände in den Schoss, lehnte sich zurück, schloss die Augen und fieng an zu singen.

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don\'t go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won\'t see them again \'till the fourth of July

I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don\'t go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won\'t see them again \'till the fourth of July

Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make them their own

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don\'t go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won\'t see them again \'till the fourth of July

All Apologies

Wieder eines der bekannteren Nirvana Lieder. Zu diesem Lied gibt es nicht viel zu sagen. Hört es euch an.

What else should I be
All apologies
What else should i say
Everyone is gay
What else should i write
I don\'t have the right
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun i feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I get married
buried

I wish I was like u
Easily amused
find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I\'ll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezerburn
Choking for the ashes of her enemy

In the sun.....

All in all is all we all are

Where Did You Sleep Last Night

Mein absolutes Lieblingslied. Dieses Lied fängt langsam an, steigert sich stetig bis Kurt Cobain am Schluss nur noch in das Mikrophon schreit. Einfach göttlich.

My girl, my girl don\'t lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl where will you go
Im goin where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through
Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a drivin wheel
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl don\'t lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through


My girl, my girl where will you go
Im goin where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl don\'t lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl where will you go
Im goin where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
