I was born in 94 my dad introduced me to nirvana at a very young age and this was our favorite song. Im here cuz my dad passed away last night. RIP KURT AND DAD

Is it weird I woke up one day and felt super addicted to this song

That electric guitar never fails to put me in a trance. Just a stunning riff.

this is probably the most under-rated song ever, its absolutely incredible

Is it just me or can anyone literally fall in love with Kurt's voice? Like you hear it once and like damn- it's just so raw and emotional :,)

Kurt died the year I was born. My mother was a fan of his. She introduced Nirvana to me. Thanks mom.. Edit: Wow! I never thought I would get this much like. Thanks a lot mom and thanks a lot and lot to all of you guys for the likes and reply. Rest in peace Kurt, you will always be in our heart.:):):)

David Bowie said he loves this cover and gets approached all the time by fans thinking he "covered nirvanas song"

I grew up on Bowie , my daughter on Nirvana. This is our favorite song. We cried when Kurt died , because of what could of been, and we cried for Bowie because of what was.

A moment of silence for those who know the music, but can’t find this song

Fun fact: audiences loved this rendition of the song so much that everyone thought Nirvana was the original artist for The Man Who Sold The World and thought David Bowie covered it

27 years since Kurt's passing...wow, time flies, R.I.P to Kurt Cobain and the Great David Bowie

I had a girlfriend once, she said she didn’t like this song... *now she’s single*

Hope Bowie and Kurt are singing this song together... wherever they are. :)

its crazy how you can miss someone who died 11 years before you were born, but man, I miss Kurt a lot, and I think about where Nirvana could be today if he never passed, that may mean we never would've gotten the foo fighters but still.

Not very often the cover of a song becomes almost rewritten.. a new meaning, new emotion… I just love this version! It’s insane!

This is the song I want people to play when I’m dead to think about me. I love this song so much and it’s just very comforting to listen to

R.I.P Kurt Cobain and David Bowie

guitar rifts give intense eargasms

imo one of the best 64 second instrumental outro's in the history of planet earth

Im 63 and still love nirvana. Curt Cobain was a very talented man , I wish he could have lived the life that made him happy, not a temporary happy but a permannentt happy.. Im sure his music made alot of us feel better . I pray his soul is in a better place . Im sure it is. REST IN PEACE CURT, WE LOVE YOU!!

this song makes me feel sad and happy at the same time, a sadness that makes me happy

It’s currently 2am and this is what I listen to to help me sleep, and it helps like a lot, thank you Kurt, I love you forever and always.

This song reminds me of my late brother, he was a good man. Showed me a lot in the small time we spent together

I don't know why but his voice, melody, rhythm,... and everything about this song made me cry

EDIT 2 : after reading some of the comments and doin a little more digging it is about schizophrenia ( which is a type of ID disorder) that was pretty bad in his family but has more to do with Bowie’s brother.I read a few comments saying ‘it was about his brother ‘ and someone actually gave a solid explanation as to how it’s about Bowie’s brother. EDIT : damn, never got so many likes for a comment, thanks everyone.the comment by the way is an article and 95 % of it is the article itself that sums up this song and the album that went with it. To the people still saying midge wrote it, please refer to the very start of the thread with my comment. Bowie had a identity disorder , that’s what the song is literally about. No it’s not just ‘ my interpretation ‘ that’s LITERALLY what the song is about. This song is about a man who no longer recognizes himself and feels awful about it. For years, Bowie struggled with his identity and expressed himself through his songs, often creating characters to perform them. On the album cover, Bowie is wearing a dress. Some of the lyrics are based on a poem by Hugh Mearns called The Psychoed: As I was going up the stair I met a man who was not there He wasn't there again today I wish that man would go away Some lyrical analysis: "We passed upon the stair" is a figurative representation of a crossroads in Bowie's life, where Ziggy Stardust catches a glimpse of his former self, (being David Bowie) which he thought had died a long time ago. Then he (the old David Bowie) says: "Oh no, not me. I never lost control." This indicates that Bowie never really lost sight of who he was, but he Sold The World (made them believe) that he had become Ziggy, and he thought it was funny (I laughed and shook his hand). He goes on to state, "For years and years I roamed," which could refer to touring. "Gaze a gazely stare at all the millions here" are the fans at concerts. >> The album is one of Bowie's least known, but over the years many fans have come to appreciate it and a lot of bands have covered songs from it. Critics weren't always sure what to make of it either, but John Mendelssohn had a good handle on it when he wrote of the album in Rolling Stone magazine, 1971: "Bowie's music offers an experience that is as intriguing as it is chilling, but only to the listener sufficiently together to withstand the schizophrenia."

Kurt and David are singing a brilliant duet in heaven at this moment with God's angels rocking out to these sweet tunes. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain R.I.P David Bowie

This song makes me sad and even feel depressed. I don’t know why. Knowing what he did to himself, and also cuz of my own issues, this just sounds sad to me and puts me in a downer mood. Anyone else??

Remember when Ziggy was looking at Nick at the end. “Your face to face with the man who sold the world”

Remember when there weren't ten ads before AND AFTER every video you watch.

It hurts to know the writer who wrote this song has passed, and before the singer of this cover has as well.

“My sister sacrificed herself for nothing”

Fun fact: You can get a hell of a lot of views with only one of the best songs ever and windows movie maker

Originally by David Bowie but Kurt gave it justice

I always loved that part “if it sounds bad these people are going to have to wait” Kurt will always be a legend

I took all of my music for granted growing up. I thought it would be that good forever. I didn't know I was at the end of musical greatness.

60 years old, sitting on the shitter, really missing Kurt, it so sad. Everyone of his songs touch a different person individually He will be sadly missed for a hundred years or to the end of time,,

Wish Kurt was amongst us !!

I love David Bowie and his music..But this is just my favorite version of this song.. Personal preference, they're both amazing musicians.

I recently installed a mod for Skyrim. I think it was called Alternate Skyrim Music or something like that, basically replaced the soundtrack with rock n roll, this song tends to play in towns and taverns, awesome track to Bob your head to as you forge some daedric armour or walk around picking up quests, until that mod I had no idea cobain had covered a bowie classic

born in 91 as a baby nirvana was the only thing that could calm me down and get me to sleep my mother has a video of me a 11 months crying but as soon as she put on Nirvana I went straight to sleep lol been a fan ever since 🥰😘

"I must have died alone, a long, long time ago" :( R.I.P KURT

In some weird dimension Bowie and Kurt are the guys passing each other on the stairs and the song is about them.....or...that could be the mushrooms talkin.

What about the man who bought the world?

I am in love with how music links a generation to another generation

The bass in this is perfect

My brother was gone too. And this song remained in his room. RIP to him and my beloved brother..

I was born in 87 and loved music since i could remember. i discovered nirvana as a child because i watched mtv all the time. I was 7 when Kurt died. I literally remember when Kurt Loder came on and announced Kurt was found dead. even at seven made me feel sad. of course i couldnt completely comprehend his lyrics until i got older but still i knew it was a sad day for music. i felt the same way i did that day when Tupac died also. I was living in nevada when that happened. Growing up in the 90s was definitely an experience.

He’s so awesome for always giving credit to the original musicians. He said Leadbelly was famous for Where Did You Sleep Last Night and made sure to add on David Bowie is responsible for The Man Who Sold the World. he’s so pure and authentically appreciates individualism and respect. i love him

This was the song that made me see that music can really speak to you. Changed my life

I can't believe David Bowie and Kurt both died... R.I.P your music is so important and it impacted us greatly.

Listening on 2024 🎸🤘🎙

i was young when kirt was around and i loved his music plus my sisters listened to him i wish he was still around he was so amazing and so honest in his music.

Feels like a war song, small group of soldiers in a rainy dusty place hiding from the enemies

Wonderful song, one of my favorites..

i literally woke up with kurt cobain voice playing in my head on loop, im not tryna spiritual or whatever but i honestly never thought of kurt cause i thought he was grunge or some shit cause i only like 50s to 92s rock/metal, and kurts jus so angelic no homo, i have been listening to nirvana for hours an im sad but amazed i havnt took the time to hear him, hes definilty not grunge this man was definitely rock, aside from mike Hutchins i reckon they was the last true Rockstar's, rip kurt ill have plenty more music an partys to play on nirvana

My dad blasted this song in the car . This dude with headphones looked inside the car we made contact while shaking our heads . What a wholesome moment .

man who wouldve thought he was dealing with so much emotion behind this song? may you rest easy Kurt everyone misses you but we must learn to let go. You wont be forgotten.

My friend has an electric ukulele and he can play this and it’s honestly just so cool

I heard a comment once; when you hear or see something beautiful it makes you feel good. When it's something incredibly it makes you feel humbled. I'm truly humbled by this song.

I love how his misplaying of the solo has just become a staple in his cover of this song It's honestly great, such a good musician. So sad he isn't around anymore

I like to think Bowie would be proud

Curt's guitar on this was spot on. And his inflexion and understanding of the lyrics is amazing. It's a simple song but very complex in delivery I love Bowies version, but I like this one the best. Two great talents, one great song..

The song was originally composed by David Bowie in one thousand nine hundred seventy, and years later, several musicians covered the song including the band Nirvana in one thousand nine hundred ninety-three, whose performance for MTV Unplugged made it an iconic song tinged by the dark and melancholic personality of Kurt Cobain. The song was marked as a bittersweet memory when the following year the singer made the decision to end his existence, causing the general public to attribute a premonitory meaning to the lyrics.

Was confused at Kurt's accent until I realized he was doing an impression of Bowie. Miss you both.

I must have died alone a long, long time ago.

When you wake up from a coma in a hospital in Cyprus,

i like this better than bowie's original tbh. his voice and the different instruments appeal to me more

Anyone else still listening in 2021? Much respect for this band. Kurt was amazing, his spirit will live on forever in my book.

Man this guy hadnt even peaked with his talent.can you imagine how much we would of seen from him had he lived longer. RIP

Listening on the anniversary of Kurt's death, rip Kurt

i can listen to this the whole day and i wont get bored of it .

Honestly this song is a masterpiece

Best ever thanks for making my childhood great april 5th 1994 my heart died...

I love the guitar solo in the end...my favorite part of the song.

God that riff is so hypnotic and heavenly.

R.I.P. John Abram Delagarza , you were the coolest then and still now 😎. Love you bro

This song is super close to my heart...Oh also watch Season 2 episode 4 of "OZARK" ..Top Shelf. Russ will bring a tear to your eye! Incredible stuff.

Still listening 2018🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I love learning new songs and having the words down helps me to understand them better. Thank you for a good job.

Awe it’s been 29yrs since he passed :(

Nirvana is good. I think they made great music. I like David Bowie too.

Forever a favorite, not sure this song could ever die‼️🎶

I sure do love the combine, hopefully nothing bad happens if I get on this train

that fan that goes "wooo" in the background at the beginning of kurt singing is priceless. the fans are in the music, forreal.

My job took me around the world for the last 20 years. A few years here and a few years there. Now I’m 50, back home, jobless and realised I’ve lost all my friends

Imagine if some of them were still alive... So much talent, I love Nirvana.

Bowie wrote this Song in 1970.................It will always be a Bowie song. Has been covered hundreds of times. Cobain mentioned it at the end.

Some of those singers who did leave us to ponder...left a huge legacy. They were no ordinary every single time we listen to their timeless work ..kind of remind us they were here on earth for very special errands....

One of my favorite songs by nirvana. TRUE WE NEVER LOST.

Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged was truly one of the best

came here from fear street because this song is a masterpiece

Bro smoking to this song makes you feel like a badass

Kurt really did die alone a long long time ago. This song is mesmerizing. I woke up with these random lyrics in my head.

This song made me feel weirdly sad. Magic.

Nirvana always have the best iconic guitar riff, I’m happy I got to listen to this amazing band.

the "although i wasn't there, he said I was his friend" line.. damn that hits close to home.

I got Nevermind on CD by chance. Never heard of them. Loved how different and unafraid they were of doing there own style. My favourite band of all time.

After a 9 year coma this song is really refreshing

I'm 21 years old and finally I understand why older people say that music is doomed This is the real music 🎶

It sucks when you don't someone to share this song with 💔
