Kurt was one of a kind,, if music wasn’t a thing and the first rhythms heard were these ppl would consider him like Mozart or van goh,, and dude had some of the best lyrics too,, more poetic than Edgar allen himself… but since music had already been invented he just gets bracketed of into a certain category of it,, but I’m reality he/they were fkn amazing so many songs are good,, shit better than good if anything,, usually ppl just make like one or two good songs n feel accomplished. He was also kind of an activist,, like when that girl got kidnapped after one of their shows… somebody else would have tried sweeping it under the rug but naw he actually had a benefit concert for that situation. Goddamn Courtney love ruined him lol,, like his suicide not had two types of writings on it like ok than.. ppl make it seem like “he was clearly depressed” therefore wat investigation but yea man. Lord knows,, for a career cut short he actually accomplished quite alot. Making us quite somber muthafuckas look good again lol RIP Kurt Cobain!!
One thing i always loved about Nirvana's music was Kurt's execution of harmony. This song in particular displays good use of it. Lyrics, I never knew what the hell this song was about as a teen until many years later. My guess was co-dependency in relationships. He had a way with words in this one. A lot of what sounds like dirty love making.
I was 17/18 when this came out. It was a great time to be a teen and see this music all unfold in real time. This is one of my favorites from them. This and “On a Plain.”
Same. I was 16/17 when I started seeing the videos for the songs off his album and I was immediately hooked. Less than 2 years later and it was all over.
bruh i just turned 17 when this broke, being at that age, still so young with no real worries, but old enough you and your buddies are driven age, goin to shows every week, festivals, being that age 16 to say 21 ish at the time, we were real gen X, the slackers, we made sure the whole culture shifted and washed away the stank of the 80's and brought about voices to be heard, we young, angry (most of us for no real reason lol) and wanted to be heard and thats what nirvana did, and were in the middle of it
The whole “Chew your meat for you, Pass it back and forth, in a passionate kiss, from my mouth to yours, sloppy lips to lips, you’re my vitamins, i like you” is just one of the best lyrics ever like who else would write something as lovable as that.
one thing i love about this song its ability to be interpreted differently for everyone. My interpretation of it is an experience with a toxic partner in a bad relationship. My fav lyric being “you taught me everything about a poison apple” what’s your guys’ interpretation??
Man, I'm really sad this band is gone, I really wish that Kurt didn't die cause this band is lit, like its got the fashion sense and the music taste, Kurt was really inspiring and so was his band members Krist and Dave. Lets just say, RIP Kurt, King Of Grunge.

Oh come on dude, this is track 8, you have gotten through 7 Nirvana songs and fucking Polly and here you say Drain You has questionable lyrics lol. Not mad just think it's fucking funny
I always loved this song as young kid. And now, in my 22 years of age, with a meth addiction, i completely understand and take relate to the lyrics. "A teavel through a tube and end up in your affection" "Chew your meat for you"- metaphor for your body eating itself for nutrients. (Why we get skinny) "With eyes so dilated ive become your pupil"- aside from being a great double entendre; its also a common occurence for us drug users 🧐 This guys sont writing is, rip Kurt unparalleled
Hope you kick that, not to be judgemental dick. Even if no one around you sees your worth, if your written word is any indication you are stronger than you think, honest, and intelligent. I hope for days of true happiness for you in any form that benefits you and brings you love and joy. Of course so easier said than done but even if I'm just an overtly unwanted opinion from a random, may you be healthy, happy, whole and successful. ❤️
in my music class we have to choose a song to cover. everyone is doing some basic pop music where here me and my friends are with out grunge and punk. this particular song is what we’re currently covering.
Nothing basic about pop, it's alright to like grunge and punk music but shaming others for not having your taste is quite lame of you, all music is different and unique.
One of my favorites, along with Lounge Act and You know you're right. Kurt died on my 6th birthday and I didnt realize then how big of a loss that was.
Keep learning about yourself thur his music and still learn how you hear it in the way it ment for us all to just be grateful for greater gratitude of awesome minds
Love this upload , but I had always thought the lyrics were "you taught me everything about the poisoned apple". I thought it was a reference to his Christian aunt who told him about the bible and Christ and such.
Ya kno all the haters shouldn’t listen! So easy... ya don’t like..... walk into deep water and keep whining . I love this dude and in 06 I got caught hopping the fence at his crib. I was on top the gate and it opened ! I got a tour and a hug from the guy that said he was the owner. Not every band is for everyone... I don’t rip on yours! Don’t rip on mine .......
I acknowledge the fact the 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is iconic and the anthem of a generation, and ts a great song, but for me, this is my favorite Nirvana song.
@@mr.mustang656 at their performance in Paris kurts guitar crapped out in the middle of this song so he chucked it on the ground And continued without a guitar
My favorite Nirvana song. Totally underrated
Definitely
Same

Maybe if they made clip out of it. It would become more popular.
Yeah it’s my ringtone
That “I like you” at the end of the chorus is what makes me love this song, so amazingly sung

For me it's the "I don't care what you think unless it is about me"
it's sung as though a child says it imo
@@gosugosu1280 i honestly kinda think that might be the idea of the lyrics. Also with that weird bridge with the toys you hear
For me it's the intro before the instruments start playing, also the chorus
"i don't care what you think unless it is about me". This is one of my quotes of life😥
I think it's about Francis so it's in a light-hearted tune
@@m0rbid_0utlet nah. He haven't met Courtney when he wrote this. Most songs from nevermind are about Tobi Vail his x.
@@tl4396 oh I was just thinking that because of the baby thing
@@m0rbid_0utlet i get it, man. But the baby thing in this is a boyfriend girlfriend thing.

Um.. sure😂
@@alexcrane8212 👩🏻🦳 please
in a passionate kiss
This is one of Kurt's BEST lyrics imo !!!
Agree
They’re his favorites too, said it himself
Lyrics so good Fall Out Boy ripped them
off
So what's the song about?
Twins feeding off of each other in the womb?
The most loved introvert of his generation.

Grohl sang a lot of harmony as well
Its about love and other drugs.
I thought like 90% of nirvanas songs where about rape
@@chrisscott6961 All Apologies

that breakdown at 1:50 gives me Pink Floyd vibes and i love it
Yesssss totally. Piper type shit.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
100% agree

one thing i love about this song its ability to be interpreted differently for everyone. My interpretation of it is an experience with a toxic partner in a bad relationship. My fav lyric being “you taught me everything about a poison apple” what’s your guys’ interpretation??
i feel like it's one of those relationships where they're codependent and they're both toxic
Unpopular opinion I think it's about parasites
it actually is, "it is now my duty to completely drain you" is something an ex said to kurt when they broke up
I also think it’s about toxic relationships, I guess? I don’t quite understand some parts of the song.
I always thought it was about heroin
Man, I'm really sad this band is gone, I really wish that Kurt didn't die cause this band is lit, like its got the fashion sense and the music taste, Kurt was really inspiring and so was his band members Krist and Dave. Lets just say, RIP Kurt, King Of Grunge.

This song saved me from a mental breakdown yesterday. Thanks Nirvana.
I understand completely
Me too!
"You taught me everything about the poisoned apple."
One of the best nirvana songs
I was 18 when Nevermind was released .. and this is still my favourite.
Damn, must've been an awesome time
Yeah...
I didnt exist
I was 13, will never forget those days, now it just sucks

This is probably my favourite Nirvana song. I heard this album last, but it's actually my favourite, tbh
this is my favorite song out of any band in the world, even thought there are some questionable lyrics
What lyrics

My favorite Nirvana song......great imagery, vocals are on point ..... beautiful shit
The lyrics are ABOUT a poison apple not without. I hold this song in high regards as probably my favorite Nirvana song!
"I don’t care what you think unless it’s about me" LMAO THATS LITERALLY ME
No dislikes in my world
No fucking dislikes....... all his music is the fucking greatest......!!
@Dana Maynard dont even have to worry about THAT anymore...
Love this upload , but I had always thought the lyrics were "you taught me everything about the poisoned apple".
I thought it was a reference to his Christian aunt who told him about the bible and Christ and such.
It is
Kurt Cobain was taken by a bible loving home... look it up
Correct, mostly, it's "about a poison apple" and not "the" and "poisoned" is simply "poison".
the person who made these lyrics phoned it in on most of it
It's About Drugs.
This has such a modern gorgeous rennaisance / cartoonish vibe with a dark humor and a deeper meaning that satyrizes how weird life is.
Thank you nirvana. For making such legendary and inspiring songs with such simplicity. Incredible, there will never be another band like them.

It should be over a million views guys come on!!
if you put it to 1.75x speed it magically becomes a punk rock song.
But why though, dude?
If you put it at normal speed, it is a grunge song.
@@halpmehimdyinginside Cuz Kurt and Nirvana's spirit never stopped being punk.
Doesn't really work
Works better at 1.5x
One of my favorite songs when I was younger
Everett this was our favorite song growing up. Where are you? Wish I could see you just once more before the rapture. Hope to see you in Heaven.
I acknowledge the fact the 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is iconic and the anthem of a generation, and ts a great song, but for me, this is my favorite Nirvana song.
This was my fave nirvana song in 96
Is it still your favourite song?
I can only think of their performance in Paris when I hear this
I think of the paramount

STOP BEFORE I LISTENED TO THIS I HAD AN AD THAT SAID "It's better to belong!" 😭
2:27 Ahhhhhhhhh
Smells like Teen Spirit may be my generation’s anthem, but Drain You is my song.
Breaking this song down and reading into reveals how sad this song really is.
Sad as in emotionally sad retards. This is one of my favorite songs.
Yeah. If you don't have a pea-brain, you can see it's about a relationship that isn't healthy.
@@OxyPox or maybe heroin addiction
Great song. Loved this when It came out.
beautiful sound
Yes indeed.
unforgetable for me
Genius; Absolute...................😊 missing you Kurt Cobain!!!
One of the greats...Forever!!!!
Love the song ❤❤❤
One of nirvana dms best songs
best song in existence
I traveled through youtube and ended up your infection." Lol
That beginning riff without the pedal and backing guitars is orgasmic
My dad use to sing this to me while he play his guitar 🎸💕
That half time hi hat has such a groove to it
It’s amazing what draining someone can do....
the lyrics are so good
That scream!!
One of my favorite
Lyrical Genius
I wish Kurt would break into every TV channel and radio station in the whole world simultaneously to tell us what his heaven is like.
Such a good song
If i ever get a girlfriend, this will be our song, idc if u dont like Nirvana, it still will be.
Damn
Ha I love that me and my bf we’re just having a amazing time just listen to this song and it’s one of our favourite song
The bottle of my moms red wine sitting on the living room shelf for show is looking real tempting rn
Nah, don't. Let it age some more
Do it
Kurt cobain once said “ ye u can’t buy happiness that made me happy for a little while”❤️ miss u always Kurt thinking of u 🕊💔
this is great good song
Addicted to this song 😂
The song I liked before my relationship ended after 4 years of dating
i L i k E y O u.......... Yo U .. .. .y o U . . . .y O u . . . ...
This is PERFECTION 🥰
I love this song. Especially the intro. Just wish the part from 1:34-2:31 had a solo instead.
wdym that’s the best part it don’t need a solo
@@love-li9qt imo doesn’t really add much to the song and I love Kurt’s chaotic solos that somehow fits the song.
I thought he was singing "i'm looking at you" in the beginning
Best Song by Kurtis my Bro.
The best band of world!
Such an underrated song. I love nirvana!
Think a good bit of never mind word play is about Kurts favourite pastime......all the best things are bad things...
I was thinking that too...
Listen to nirvana is like being in nirvana
Great song 👌
I would call those dislikes as youngsters. Those have no clue about this music
🤣 The youngsters now a days don’t know good music if it hit them in the head.
I do
I'm surprised the actual lyrics wasn't "i travel through and end up in your intestines"....lmao
one of the unappreciated nirvana songs
No it isn’t. It’s literally one of their most popular songs.
@@MS-eb8cf i said unappreciated not unpopular

Unappreciated by who? Non-Nirvana fans? Well, of course.
