      ***** lol its because an empty bathroom has the most reverb. Bathrooms are known for great reverb bc of the ceramic and hard surfaces. The more bodies, furniture etc. the more sound is absorbed and less reflection effect occurs. That is what they are getting at...

      Matthew Sudiyono Matt Shultz has a better singing range, and I like his music a lot better.
      Nirvana songs always seemed really lazily written to me and frankly Kurt can't really sing, which is about what most people should expect from a heroin addict. That being said, I did like the song 'About a Girl', but overall I've never understood what people see in Cobain.

      well you're not wrong about the singing range. but the thing with cobain is his impact on the world. He was revolutionary in grunge music and the perspective of the world. and the fact that you like his musci better is of course opinion i respect that. but cobain is legendary as an artist.

    This song is so emotionally painful for me to listen to and I have no clue why. For some reason it just stings very sharply and I think that it’s a beautiful but strange occurrence

    • @jerekuva2300
      @jerekuva2300 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I can relate. For me this song hurts because it makes me think about the "good times", or at least the times when I used to know who I was. It makes me think about long lost relationships, love, people I'm no longer friends with. It's like this song verifies the thought I've had for a long time; My journey to find purpose in life is all in vain, all I can do is move forward. I can try to look for the answers in a pouring rain, but the fact is that there just isn't one. Pain is a part of being human. The past is never coming back and that makes me feel lost, like I took a wrong turn years ago.. And can't find my way back home.

    Oh, I cannot explain what's going down
    I can see you standing next to me
    In and out somewhere else right now
    You sigh look away
    I can see it clear as day
    Close your eyes so afraid
    Hide behind that baby face
    You can drive all night
    Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
    You wanna find peace of mind
    Looking for the answer
    Funny how it seems like yesterday
    As I recall you were looking out of place
    Gathered up your things and slipped away
    No time at all I followed you into the hall
    Cigarette Daydream
    You were only seventeen
    Soft speak with a mean streak
    Nearly brought me to my knees
    You can drive all night
    Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
    You wanna find peace of mind
    Looking for the answer
    If we could find a reason, a reason to change
    Looking for the answer
    If you could find a reason, a reason to stay

    From a proffessional singer, the three best places ever to sing are:
    The school bathroom
    The stairwell
    The shower
    Bonus: a literal opera house bc that place was BUILT for people not to have microphones (you never have mics in opera)

      Yeah that's the funny thing about a lot of music, especially most commonly rock, you don't have to have an exceptional voice, it's mostly about finding a style for what you've got. Not saying everyone can sing, but you don't have to sound like Freddy Mercury to be a singer. That's what I think anyways
