    nirvana's song "polly" and Korn's song "daddy" are 2 of the most disturbing songs i've ever heard but i respect these bands for bringing this truth to light because it doesn't need to be swept under the rug, awareness needs to be spread about people that prey on women and children to make the world a more safe place

    A side note about the 5-string Stella that Cobain used for recording Polly: He said he bought it at a pawn shop for $20 and never bothered to change the strings, which were nylon.

    Even as a dumb kid kinda sheltered as much a single parent could I still have to say that hearing Polly without any back story was still uncomfortable like I knew Polly was not having a good time or a willing participant

      Well, she was tied up in the song, after all, so it was obvious she was not a willing participant or having a good time. The song is pretty clear, even from a kid's perspective. You knew a bad guy had her and wouldn't let her go, even though she asked him to.

    This song is so beautiful. It was critiqued for its violent nature but I think that discomfort it caused in society was so important. If the song didn't disturb the peace in society, the song's inner message wouldn't make an impact. Kurt understood how barbaric these acts were, and wrote them into a beautiful song, that brought attention to them.

    • @SoundscapesRock

      You've captured an important aspect of the song's impact. It's true that the discomfort caused by the song's violent nature served a purpose in bringing attention to societal issues. It's through this juxtaposition that the song's inner message resonates and makes an impact.

      "Polly" by Nirvana does have dark undertones, but it's actually based on a true crime story.

    I thought the whole thing was interesting. The beginning info was a first for me. A lot of channels have videos on TH-cam I can’t click off quick enough because of that ultra shitty over processed, empty calorie modern pop made by non-musicians on laptops. I’ve watched a few of these on this channel and I like it, haven’t had to keep my hand on the flush lever yet.😀 👍❤ subscribed

    I'm not sure why you keep saying the song is quiet and not booming bass or loud drums as if that wasn't already a thing Kurt Cobain did in various other songs. I mean he was kind of known for being down. As was a lot of his music. Including polly.
