Nirvana

Penampilan perdana Kurt dan Krist terjadi pada bulan Maret 1987 yang sekaligus menasbihkan formasi awal Nirvana yang terdiri atas Kurt Krist dan seorang penabuh drum bernama Aaron Burkhard Waktu itu mereka belum memakai nama Nirvana ada banyak nama yang mereka pakai pada awal karir mereka dan mereka memakainya bergantian di setiap konse.

Nama Nirvana baru muncul pada tahun 1988 ketika Kurt menemukan nama itu dari sebuah tayangan televisi tengah malam yang menyiarkan tentang program agama Budha yang berarti pencapaian kesempurnaan pada November 1988 single pertama Nirvana Love Buzz pun diedarkan pada kalangan terbatas Kurt sendiri yang kemudian menyerahkan salah satu kopinya kepada radio KCMU untuk diputar setelah itu Kurt segera mendengarkan radio dan setelah berjam-jam gelisah karena lagunya tak segera diputar hingga Kurt harus menelpon dari sebuah telpon umum dan merequest lagunya sendiri barulah kemudian lagu tersebut mengudara salah satu ironi terbesar seorang bintang Rock besar pada awal karirnya sempat merequest sendiri lagunya di sebuah radio.

awal 1991 Nirvana pindah label dari Sub Pop ke DGC (David Geffen Company) sebuah label mayor dengan distribusi lebih luas dan dana lebih besar salah satu orbitan tersukses DGC adalah Guns N Roses Nirvana juga bergabung dengan Gold Mountain sebuah perusahaan manajemen artis dimana Sonic Youth band punk kontemporer yang dikagumi Kurt bernaung Nirvana pun melanjutkan perjalanannya dengan mengeluarkan album kedua yang berjudul Nevermind yang direkam pada mei 1991 dan selesai sebulan kemudian.

Inilah album legendaris dan fenomenal yang kemudian melambungkan nama Nirvana ke jagad musik internasional lagu-lagu yang terdapat di album ini bercerita tentang Tobi Vail vokalis band punk cewek Bikini Kill perempuan yang sangat disukai Kurt bahkan sepanjang tahun 1990-1991 hampir semua lagu yang dibuatnya selalu bercerita tentang Tobi meski demikian Tobi ternyata tak bisa sepenuhnya menerima Kurt Kurt akhirnya dekat dengan seorang wanita bernama Courtney Love vokalis band post punk Hole dan dalam rentang tahun ini juga heroin terus mengiringi hidup Kurt

Nevermind dirilis pada 24 September 1991 diluar dugaan album bercover gambar seorang bayi yang sedang menyelam ini telah terjual hingga mencapai 500.000 keping pada hari Helloween 31 Oktober 1991 Nirvana pun mendapat penghargaan piringan emas saat inilah seluruh radio Amerika Eropa Australia Jepang Brazil dan di negara-negara lain dengan serentak memutar terus-menerus single Smells Like Teen Spirit Kurt kini sudah tak perlu lagi menelepon radio memohon agar lagunya diputar video klip Smeels Like Teen Spirit pun memasuki masa mengudara dengan frekuensi terbanyak pada awal tahun 1992.

Di Indonesia sendiri popularitas Nirvana berhasil menyaingi popularitas Guns N Roses Metallica dan Sepultura yang pada masa-masa itu memang sangat terkenal di Indonesia namun pada Januari itu juga kecanduan Kurt terhadap heroin makin parah dalam sebuah sesi pemotretan Kurt bahkan sampai tak sanggup berdiri tegak dan hanya tertunduk terus-menerus momen semacam inilah yang akan terus berulang dan mewarnai lembaran karir Nirvana berikutnya.

2010-01-15T13:08:00.000+07:00

HOLE

Hole was a Grammy-nominated, alternative rock/grunge band that formed in Los Angeles in 1989 and disbanded in 2002. The band was fronted by Courtney Love, and co-founded by Love, Eric Erlandson (lead guitar) and Lisa Roberts (bassist and Love's neighbor who dropped the project very early on). The band had a brief period as a three-guitar lineup, with the musician Errol Stewert, but the lineup that recorded the first album included only Love, Erlandson, bassist Jill Emery and drummer Caroline Rue. Emery and Rue left in 1992, to be replaced by Leslie Hardy and Patty Schemel, respectively. Hardy left after recording just one single with the band, "Beautiful Son", and was subsequently replaced by Kristen Pfaff in 1993. After Pfaff died of an apparent drug overdose in 1994, Melissa Auf der Maur took her place from 1995 until the band's dissolution in 2002. When Schemel left the band in 1998, Samantha Maloney took her place as drummer. On VH1's countdown of the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Bands Hole was number 77.MORE

Nirvanaisme.......kalian mungkin pernah denger kalimat itu.
yupz....fans berat nirvana,atau kaum kucel yg fanatik ma Nirvana.gw prnh dnger klo Nirvanaisme tu gda skill,jelek urakan,cuma bisa teriak" z,maen gitar'y jg fals.it's oke...trsrah org mau bilang pa.krn mnurut gw,itu sbuah kejujuran. inilah kita,tampil apa adanya tanpa rekayasa.kita lakukan pa yg bisa kita lakukan dan kita pun berusaha untuk lebih baik.pa itu slh ??
Seperti halnya Nirvana,yg merupakan salah satu mesin pembangkit GRUNGE,Nirvanaisme jg ikut andil dlm membesarkan nama GRUNGE. Di setiap gigs yg mengatasnamakan Grunge,mereka slalu hadir untuk meramaikan dan berbagi kesenangan..
Tulisan ini gda maksud apa",,ga untuk menonjolkan Nirvana,krn Nirvana pernah jaya di masanya (dah tau X..hehe.) ataupun mnjatuhkan yg lain.
Seperti Indonesia yg terdiri dari beberapa pulau,bgitu jg dngn GRUNGE,tak akan kokoh tanpa NIRVANA,STP,PEARL JAM, dan lainya....mari kita berkarya untuk memajukan musikalitas GRUNGE. Kita tunjukan kalau GRUNGE ga pernah mati.regenerasi akan terus berjalan dan terus berjalan...

Drain You


One baby to another says - 
I'm lucky to have met you 
I don't care what you think 
Unless it is about me 
It is now my duty to completely drain you 
A travel through a tube 
And end up in your infection 

Chew your meat for you 
Pass it back and forth 
In a passionate kiss 
From my mouth to yours 
I like you 

With eyes so dialated, 
I've become your pupil 
You've taught me everything 
Without a poison apple 
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student 
Indebted and so grateful - 
Vacuum out the fluids 

Chew your meat for you 
Pass it back and forth 
In a passionate kiss 
From my mouth to yours 
I like you

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'm like you

Come on over and do the twist

Come on over and do the twist

Smells Like Teen Spirit


Load up on guns and bring your friends 
It's fun to lose and to pretend 
She's over bored and self assured 
Oh no, I know a dirty word 

Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3) 
Hello, hello, hello! 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous 
Here we are now, entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now, entertain us 
A mulatto 
An albino 
A mosquito 
My libido 
Yay!
Hey (x2) 

I'm worse at what I do best 
And for this gift I feel blessed 
Our little tribe has always been 
And always will until the end 

Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3) 
Hello, hello, hello! 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous 
Here we are now, entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now, entertain us 
A mulatto 
An albino 
A mosquito 
My Libido 
Yay! 
Hey (x2)

And I forget just why I taste 
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile 
I found it hard, it was hard to find 
Oh well, whatever, nevermind 

Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3) 
Hello, hello, hello! 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous 
Here we are now, entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now, entertain us 
A mulatto

A mosquito

A denial !! (x9)

Been a son


- One, Two, Three, Four!

She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son

She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance
She should have had another chance

(x2)
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son

She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son

I'm so happy 'cause today 
I've found my friends ... 
They're in my head 
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ... 
We've broken our mirrors 
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ... 
And I'm not scared 
Light my candles, in a daze 
'Cause I've found god 

Hey, hey hey (x6) 

I'm so happy 'cause today 
I shaved my head ... 
And I'm not sad 
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard ... 
But I'm not sure 
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there ... 
But I don't care 
I'm so horny, but that's okay ... 
My will is good 

Hey, hey hey (x6) 

I like it - I'm not gonna crack 
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack 
I love you - I'm not gonna crack 
I love you - I'm not gonna crack 
I like it - I'm not gonna crack 
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack 
I love you - I'm not gonna crack 
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack

I like it - I'm not gonna crack 
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack 
I love you - I'm not gonna crack 
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack 

Note: On the handwritten lyrics that Kurt Cobain wrote, he marked 
the chorus as "Hey" and not "Yeah". That's what's also been reflected here, 
even though most would argue that the word "Yeah" is present in the song. 

Sliver


Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please, no 

Grandma take me home (x7)
Wanna be alone 

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good 

Grandma take me home (x7)
Wanna be alone 

Said, why don't you stop your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
Thats what I did, I killed my toe 

Grandma take me home (x7)
Wanna be alone 

After dinner, I had ice cream
I fell asleep, and watched TV
I woke up in my mother's arms 

Grandma Take me home (x16)
Never take me home (x2)
Grandma Take me home (x1)

Wanna be alone

Spank Thru


And as the soft pretentious mountains
Glisten in the light of the trees
And the flowers sing in D minor
And the birds fly happily

We'll be together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby baby

I can't explain just why we lost it from the start
living without you girl you'll only break my heart ...

I can feel it, I can hold it 
I can bend it - I can shape it and/or mold it
I can cut it, I can taste it - I can spank it, I can beat it ejacu-late it ... Aah! 
I've been lookin for day Glo - Always hearing the same ole' 
Sticky boredom with a book - 
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever could

Scentless Apprentice


Like most babies smell like butter
His smell smelled like no other
He was born scentless and senseless
He was born a scentless apprentice

Go away - get away, get a-way

Every wet nurse refused to feed him
Electrolytes smell like semen
I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
There are countless formulas for pressing flowers

Go away - get away, get a-way

I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me because I quit!
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit

Go away
Get away (x6)
Get a-way

Heart-Shaped Box


She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

Hey! Wait!

Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left back
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Milk It


I am my own parasite
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins

Doll steak!
Test meat!

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

I own my own pet virus
I get to pet and name her
Her milk is my shit
My shit it is her milk

Doll steak!
Test meat!

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

Doll steak!
Test meat!

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

Protector of the kennel
Ecto-plasma, Ecto-skeletal
Obituary every birthday
Your scent is still here in my place of recovery!

Polly


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

It isn't me 
We have some seed 
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride 
Don't cut yourself 
I want some help 
To please myself 

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

It isn't me 
We have some seed 
Let me clip 
Your dirty wings 
Let me take a ride 
Don't cut yourself 
I want some help 
To please myself 
I've got some rope 
You have been told 
I promise you 
I have been true 
Let me take a ride 
Don't cut yourself 
I want some help 
To please myself 

Polly said 

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

It isn't me 
We have some seed 
Let me clip 
Your dirty wings 
Let me take a ride 
Don't cut yourself 
I want some help 
To please myself 
I've got some rope 
You have been told 
I promise you 
I have been true 
Want me take a ride 
Don't cut yourself 
I want some help

tourette's - The Eagle Has Landed


- Hey bootleggers!
  So, this is a new song and we don't really feel like .. 
  actually going through the trouble of putting it out ourselves, so ...
- This song is called "The Eagle has Landed" !
  Yeah, and its for all of you bootleggers to go ahead and go ! 

Try to find something fast, in my eyes
Oh no, that's ok, phone home
Everthing tastes the same, in my eyes
Every day, every taste, in my eyes

Hey! (x3)

Every time it's in his chin, in my eyes
Everything Tennesees, phone home
Bring it down, at the town, in my eyes
Bring it in, set it's in, in my eyes

Hey! (x3)

Try it's sound, something found, it ain't us
Round down, at the town, go home
Round down, something in, mean us
Every taste, something fake, gross

Hey! (x3)

Take ...
Mean heart ...
Mean hearts ...(x3)

Here is an alternate version of the lyrics to this song.



Down down such a fast, in my eyes 
Won't ever let you down, flown home 
Granted to your sense of sound, oh my eyes 
You and me it contains, my heart 
  
Hey! (x3)

Go dark sound check, my eyes 
Everything teddy sees, is all wrong 
Burnin' down half the town, and my house 
Entertaining suicide, well my heart 

Hey! (x3)

Riddle meal left the town, or go home 
Rarin' round such a day, for me uh .. 
Hitch a train to Santa Fe, or go horse

Mean horse ...

Blew


- Thank you for your patience!

If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't care I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to leave
If you wouldn't care I would like to breathe

Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew was stress or strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame

If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't care I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to leave
If you wouldn't care I would like to breathe

About a Girl

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

But I can't see you every night
Free
I do

I'm standing in your line
I do ... hope you have the time
I do ... pick a number too
I do ... keep a date with you

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free

Come as you are, as you were,

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)

No I don't have a gun (x2)

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

Originally by The Vaselines. Correct title should be "Jesus Don't 
Want Me For a Sunbeam". An incorrect title, using "Doesn't", is printed 
on the MTV Unplugged CD and covers. Though, I think the Vaselines used 
the title "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" ... !

The Man Who Sold The World

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 a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago

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

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land (Alt: I searched for foreign land)
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare 
At all the millions here (Alt 1: We walked a million years)
(Alt 2: With multimillionaires)
(Alt 3: We walked a million hills)
I must have died alone (Alt: I must have died along)
A long, long time ago

(x2)
Who knows? 
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Pennyroyal Tea

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 anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I'm anemic royalty (x2)

Dumb

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

Polly

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

It isn't me 
We have some seed 
Let me clip 
Your dirty wings 
Let me take a ride 
Don't cut yourself 
I want some help 
To help myself 
I've got some rope 
You have been told 
I promise you 
I have been true 
Let me take a ride 
Don't cut yourself 
I want some help 
To help myself 

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

It isn't me 
We have some seed 
Let me clip 
Your dirty wings 
Let me take a ride 
Don't cut yourself 
I want some help 
To help myself

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

It isn't me 
We have some seed 
Let me clip 
Your dirty wings 
Let me take a ride 
Don't cut yourself

On A Plain

I'll start this off without any words 
I got so high that I scratched 'till I bled 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

The finest day that I ever had 
Was when I learned to cry on command

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 
I'm on a plain 
I can't complain 
I'm on a plain 

My brother died every night 
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

The black sheep got blackmailed again 
Forgot to put on the zip code 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

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

Somewhere I have heard this before 
In a dream my memory has stored 
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed 
What the hell am I trying to say? 

It is now time to make it unclear 
To write off lines that don't make sense 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

And one more special message to go 
And then I'm done, then I can go home 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

(x3)
I'm on a plain 
I can't complain 

Something In The Way

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 

(x2)
Something in the way, mmm 
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

Plateau

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

Lake Of Fire

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

Where Did You Sleep Last Night? 

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 don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

Serve the Servant

Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old
Self-appointed judges judge
More than they have sold

If she floats than she is not
A witch like we had thought
A down payment on another
One at salem's lot

Serve the servants - Oh no (x4)

That legendary divorce is such a bore

As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a dad

I just want you to know that I
Don't hate you anymore
There is nothing I could say
That I haven't thought before

Serve the servants - Oh no (x4)

That legendary divorce is such a bore

Serve the servants - Oh no (x7)

That legendary divorce is such a bore

Scentless Apprentice

Like most babies smell like butter
His smell smelled like no other
He was born scentless and senseless
He was born a scentless apprentice

Go away - get away, get a-way

Every wet nurse refused to feed him
Electrolytes smell like semen
I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
There are countless formulas for pressing flowers

Go away - get away, get a-way

I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me because I quit!
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit

Go away - get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get a-way

Heart-Shaped Box

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle

It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing 
To hear that you're asking wherever you get your way
It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)

In her false witness, we hope you're still with us,
To see if they float or drown
Our favorite patient, a display of patience,
Disease-covered Puget Sound
She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars,
And leave a blanket of ash on the ground

I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)

Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip

It hurts when you have to press that dull little thing
That you're only supposed to use once and then discard
Where do you put it? In the garbage can, my honest friend
My shyness, pet her flow

She's only been five months late, even though we haven't had sex for a week

A meal a day, a meal, I say
And my heart's made my ...

Somebody else already used the word 'aurora-borealis'
She was tied up in chains, and Sam had helped her in the freezer

She's only five weeks late, but I haven't had a date forever ...
Ever ... ever ... forever!

Wish I had more ... more opportunity,
More chances to remember some things
So I couldn't have so much pressure on my ...
On my ... on my, um ... ah, on my ... um ... um ... head

We'd have so much more diversity,
And so much more input, so much more creative flow,
If we had someone in school, a 'GIT' ...

GIT ... geeks ... in ... town.
Ha! ... Come on, Dave, think of one ... !
Girls with trouble
It should be GIC, geeks with charvels
No, GWC, fuck man this is a waste of time ...

{laughs} 

One more solo?   Yeahhhhhhhhh!  Yeaaaahhhhh!

You're personally responsible for ...
The entire strip ... to be washed away ...
Cleansed ... as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol
Flowed through the strip and were set on fire.

It didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight.

And then Perry Ellis came along with his broom,
And his ... silk ...  
And he ... he erected a beautiful city ...
A city of stars.

Turnaround

Take a step outside yourself
And you turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
It's Revolting
You're not much
You can't do anything

Take a step outside the city
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock!

Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let them do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking!?

It's pretty scary, it's so revolting (x4)
Naaaah !

Take a step outside the country
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's a laugh

Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary

Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself

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

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself (Alt: To help myself)

Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

It isn't me

Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you

Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help

Beeswax

Why doesn't she need him for a father?
Not only maidens can occupy my shack
Goring my manhood turns a man off
Like Pepe LePew would say, 
Hey, hey, hey! -- and then we clash!

I got my diddly spayed (x3)
I got my diddly

She laughs about it
Shrinking inflections if the wind blows just right
Jacking themselves off polyester
I wanna jump, this isn't right! 
Hey, when am I getting it back?

I got my diddly spayed (x3)
I got my diddly

I don't know why,
I've got a joke too silly to say
Don't touch the balls
I got a dick, Dick -- hear my fucking hate!

I got my diddly spayed (x3)
I got my diddly

If you're wondering, it's gaining monthly
Fiberglass insulated, the sky is cotton candy
Spawning downstream, El Rancho Ovulate
Feeling can't help me romp

Bill just fuck me, take me anal
Billy's slit reminds me of someone
I'm sick of paying for the love boat
Tony and Tenille say wanna jump rope
And I say look!

I got my penis spayed, 
I got a little tail,
I got my dingaling spayed
I got my dingaling spayed
I gotta be around pussy
Don't let me fall
I got a heh-heh ... well you can't live

We got my dingaling spayed (x6)
I got my dingaling spayed (x5)
I got my diddly

Other interpretations possible.

Downer

Portray sincerity
Act out of loyalty
Defend every country
Wish away the pain
Hand out lobotomies
To save little families
Surrealistic fantasy
Bland, boring pain!

Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in master?
Don't feel guilty, master writing

Somebody said that they're not much like I am, I know I can
Make enough of the words as you go along, I sing then some

Sickening pessimist hypocrite master
Conservative Communist apocalyptic bastard
Thank you dear God for putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst!

Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in master?
Don't feel guilty, master writing

Somebody said that they're not much like I am, I know I can

Mexican Seafood

All the itchy flakes, it is a flaming
All the gels and cremes it is pertaining
To a fungus mold cured by injection
Hope it's only ah, a yeast infection

Oh well, it burns when I - it hurts when I pee
Oh well, it hurts when I - it hurts when I see

Now I vomit cum and diarrhoea
On the tile floor like oatmeal pizza
Fill my toilet bowl full of a cloudy 
Puss, I feel the blood becoming chowder rust

Oh well, it burns when I - it hurts when I pee
Oh well, it hurts when I - it hurts when I see

Roll into my bed which does consist of
Lice, bugs and fleas and yellow mucus
Stained dirt, vaseline, toe jam and booger
Stomach acid worms that dance in sugared sludge

Mmmmm ...

What's a season in a right if you can't have anything
What's the reason in a rhyme if a plan means anything
What's the meaning in a crime, it's a fan if anything
Where's the learning in a line, it's a brand, it's a brand

How a culture comes again, it was all here yesterday
And you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyway
There's only here to talk to friends, nothing new is everyday
You could shit upon the stage, they'll be fans

They'll be fans (alt: If you brand) (x3)

(x2)
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Steal a sound and imitate, keep a format equally
Not an ode, just the facts, where our world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, it doesn't matter anyways

Hey ... (x7)

Big Long Now

It's not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through
Can we show our faces now?

I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?

Endless climb
I am blind
Why can't I leave?
Color blind
Speaking a phrase
Instantly grown
I am blind
Waiting in line

It's not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through
Can we show our faces now?

I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems

Turnaround

Take a step outside yourself
And you turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
It's Revolting
You're not much
You can't do anything

Take a step outside the city
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock!

Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let them do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking!?

It's pretty scary, it's so revolting (x4)
Naaaah !

Take a step outside the country
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's a laugh

Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary

Smells Like Teen Spirit


Load up on guns and bring your friends 
It's fun to lose and to pretend 
She's over bored and self assured 
Oh no, I know a dirty word 

Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3) 
Hello, hello, hello! 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous 
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto 
An albino 
A mosquito 
My libido 
Yay! (x3) 

I'm worse at what I do best 
And for this gift I feel blessed 
Our little group has always been 
And always will until the end

Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile 
I found it hard, it's hard to find 
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hey - He's the one 
Who likes all our pretty songs 
And he likes to sing along 
And he likes to shoot his gun 
But he knows not what it means 
Don't know what it means, when I say:

And he likes to sing along

Bruises on the fruit -- tender age in bloom

Come as you are, as you were,

Take your time, hurry up 
The choice is yours, don't be late. 
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria

Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach 
As I want you to be 
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

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

Lithium


I'm so happy 'cause today 
I've found my friends ... 
They're in my head 
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ... 
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ... 
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found god 
Hey, hey hey (x6) 

I'm so lonely, but that's okay, I shaved my head ... 
And I'm not sad 
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard ... 
But I'm not sure 
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there ... 
But I don't care 
I'm so horny, but that's okay ... 
My will is good 
Hey, hey hey (x6) 

(x2) 
I like it - I'm not gonna crack 
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack 
I love you - I'm not gonna crack 
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack

Note: On the handwritten lyrics that Kurt Cobain wrote, he marked 
the chorus as "Hey" and not "Yeah". That's what's also been reflected here, 
even though most would argue that the word "Yeah" is present in the song.

"Come on people now, smile on your brother and 
everybody get together, try to love one another right now" 

When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions 

Gotta find a way, to find a way, when I'm here 
Gotta find a way - a better way - I had better wait 

Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman

Gotta find a way, to find a way, when I'm here
Gotta find a way - a better way - I had better wait

Drain You


One baby to another says -
I'm lucky to have met you 
I don't care what you think 
Unless it is about me 
It is now my duty to completely drain you 
A travel through a tube 
And end up in your infection 

Chew your meat for you 
Pass it back and forth 
In a passionate kiss 
From my mouth to yours 
I like you 

With eyes so dialated, 
I've become your pupil 
You've taught me everything 
Without a poison apple 
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student 
Indebted and so grateful - 
Vacuum out the fluids 

Chew your meat for you 
Pass it back and forth 
In a passionate kiss 
From my mouth to yours 
I like you 
You (x5)

Lounge Act


Truth - covered in security 
I can't let you smother me 
I'd like to, but it couldn't work 
Trading off and taking turns 
I don't regret a thing 

And I've got this friend, you see 
Who makes me feel and I 
Wanted more than I could steal 
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield 
I'll go out of my way to prove I still 
I still smell her on you

Don't - tell me what I wanna hear 
Afraid of never knowing fear 
Experience anything you need 
I'll keep fighting jealousy 
Until it's fucking gone

Ever we want without new rules 
We'll share what's lost and what we grew 
They'll go out of their way 
To prove they still 

Still smell her on you (x3)

On A Plain


I'll start this off without any words 
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

The finest day that I ever had 
Was when I learned to cry on command 

I love myself better than you 
I 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 
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

The black sheep got blackmailed again 
Forgot to put on the zip code 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

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

Somewhere I have heard this before 
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed 
What the hell am I trying to say? 

It is now time to make it unclear 
To write off lines that don't make sense 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

And one more special message to go 
And then I'm done, then I can go home 

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do? 

(x5) 
I'm on a plain 
I can't complain 

Something In The Way


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

Right here

Go to hell 
Go to jail 

In back of that 
Crime 
Here I am 
Take a chance 
Dead!

Floyd the Barber

Bell on door clanks - come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down [in the] chair, don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face

I'm ashamed (x3)

Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see, I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-Pee pressed against my lips

I was shamed (x3)

I sense others in the room
Opie Aunt Bee, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Andy's clutch

I was shamed (x3)

Paper Cuts

When I'm feeling tired
She pushed food through the door
And I crawl towards the crack of light
Sometimes I can't find my way

Newspapers spread around
Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due again
- a good hosing down

The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twitch and masturbate!

I said so (x3)
Nirvana (x6)

Black windows of paint
I scratched with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?

They bring out the older ones
They point in my way
They come with a flash of light
And take my family away

And very later I have learned 
To accept some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I'm here with you!

To take
Me with 
You're right

He loves her more than he will ever show

Kurt adalah Kurdt

2009-12-28T21:24:00.001+07:00

KURT ADALAH KURDT

Kurt sering menyebut dirinya dengan nama “Kurdt”.Buku-buku catatan harian,coret-coretan gambar,dan tanda tangan garis bawah barisan lirik lagu buatannya,banyak menyebut kan kurdt.Ya,dia memang memiliki sisi parodik nan komikal dalam kepribadiannya.Dan Kurdt adalah wakil dari sisi kejiwaan kurt tersebut.

Disini kita melihat sedikit hal-hal yang kental dan menonjol pada kepribadian kurt cobain. Dari situlah kita bisa memahami betapa kelam dan muram kehidupan sang “rockstar” ini.Dia seperti terus menanggung bara dendam yg bercanpur dngan kekecewaan.fase maksimum dari semua itu adalah ledakan yg menyebabkan Kurt tewas mengenaskan.

Kurt mempunyai selera humor yg sarkatis dan sinis,seperti mengubah susunan frasa atau menanyakan pertanyaan” retoris yg absurd.

Sarkasme dalam pikiran Kurt sudah muncul sejak dia kecil.Dulu dia sangat suka menggambar mobil,truk dan gitar,tetapi dia jg mulai membuat gambar” porno.Kurt bahkan pernah membuat gambar vagina yg benar” mirip aslinya walau dia belum pernah melihat secara langsung,kcuali dari buku” atau majalah.

Kurt jg pernah membuat film.dalam film itu Kurt memakai topeng Mr.T, pemeran karakter B.A. dalam serial televise The A Team,dan pura” menghisap sesuatu mirip kokain dalam jumlah banyak.dia jg membuat efek khusus dari tepung dan penyedot debu.

Film” Kurt kreatif tapi menghawatirkan,sama mencemaskanya dengan karya” Kurt yg lain.sebenarnya Kurt bukan seorang pelukis,dia lebih cenderung menjadi seorang Kreator.

Kurt pernah menyeringai puas seperti seorang ilmuan gila yg baru saja berhasil menciptakan mahluk pertamanya.Kurt baru saja menyelesaikan sebuah lukisan, Kurt mengatakan bahwa dia telah menambahkan bahan syg sepesial kedalam lukisanya, “resep khususku” kata Kurt, yg ternyata adalah sepermanya sendiri.(di ceritakan oleh Amy Moon,tetangga Kurt)

Sebenarnya hampir semua karya” kurt menimbulkan perasaan bergidik.beberapa di antaranya malah benar” mengerikan.Tema lukisanya masih sama seperti ketika dia masih di kelas seni di SMA.hanya saja sekarang jauh lebih gelap..

Karya seni rupa Kurt di penuhi lukisan yg di antaranya melikiskan alien yg sedang di kuliti hidup”,seorang perempuan berkudung seperti Ku Kluk Klan dengan rok terangkat yg menunjukan vaginanya,seorang perempuan yg tertusuk penis,dan gambar sepasang lelaki dan perempuan yg berseyubuh dngn kata” “perkosa,perkosa”.

Kurt sepertinya “sakit”.salah satu cara “sakit” favorit Kurt lainya dalam berkarya adalah dengan menukar organ” seksual dari objek yg dia lukis.seorang laki” yg di lukis Kurt bisa saja berkepala Vagina dan perempuan”_y memiliki penis sebagai payudara. Sebuah lukisan yg lain melukiskan setan raksasa berpenis raksasa sedang di kelilingi 4 perempuan telanjang.

Kebanyakan dari karya Kurt tidak berjudul,tp kurt pernah membuat lukisan yg sengaja dia beri judul.sebuah likisan sederhana dngn crayon hitam di atas permukaan putih. Lukisan wajah orang”an dngn wajah tersenyum sedang memotong kaki kirinya dengan kapak.di atasnya tertulis,Mr.Sunshine Commits Sucide (Tuan Sunshine Bunuh Diri)

Kurt tidak perlu heroin untuk berkarya,dia adalah seniman yg bias berkarya kapanpun dan dalam kondisi apapun.

Lumayan cape euy nulisnya.....ntar gw sambung lg ceritanya di postingn laen...

Bunuh Diri Atau Di bunuh

2009-12-24T21:59:00.001+07:00

Bunuh Diri Atau Di bunuh

Tewas’y kurt cobain menambah daftar panjang para artis dan orang” ternama lain’y yng mengakhiri hidup dengan cara yng tragis.sebelumnya,tercatat nama jim Morrison,jimi Hendrix dan Janis Joplin.para musisi yng kebetulan sama” meninggal di usia 27 tahun,seperti juga kurt.

Sejumlah orang meyakini bahwa kurt tewas di bunuh.cerita mengenai pembunuhan kurt itu bahkan dramatis,meskipun pihak kepolisian secara jelas mengumumkan bahwa dia tewas karena menembak kepala’y sendiri.

Orang yng paling di curigai membunuh kurt adalah istri’y sendiri, "Courtney love". Konon Courtney ktika itu dalam posisi yng kurang menguntungkan karena dia akan kehilangan warisan kurt yng berencana menceraikanya.Spekulasi lain menyebutkan bahwa perusahaan” yng bnyak menaungi kepentingan Nirvana,diantaranya Geffen Record ingin menyingkirkan kurt.

Menurut teoti konspirasi ini,mereka membunuh kurt dengan tujuan menciptakan seseorang pahlawan baru untuk mengejar angka bisnis penjualan rekaman dari arwah kurt cobain.soalnya,mereka khawatir dngn rencana kurt saatitu yng ingin segera pensiun dari hangar bingar industri musik.

Salah seorang penyidik sosial bernama Stewart yng juga seseorang pemerhati musik bahkan percaya bahwa kurt di bunuh.menurut stewart,kurt dibunuh oleh seseorang,kemungkinan seorang anggota mafia yng juga pernah mengintimidasi personil Nirvana lainya karena enggan membayar uang keamanan.

Sedang gossip lain mengatakan cerita bunuh diri Kurt hanya sebuah rekayasa. Kurt di katakana masih hidup dan menikmati kehidupan di luar Amerika.gosip itu juga menyebutkan,Kurt pernah terlihat berjalan” di rio de Janeiro dan paris.selain itu, Kurt juga di sebut” pernah terlihat Di sobay club,London,di panggung” teater,serta di festival hackney homeless.lalu seseorang fans jga mengaku pernah menjumpai Kurt yng sedang belanja di supermarket kwik save,kota canning.

Paling lengkap mengenai tragedy sebenarnya ini hanya di ketahui sembilan tahun setelah kematian Kurt.bekas penulis lagu” rock dan vokalis band Rock,Max Wallace dan lan halperin menjabarkan dalam buku mereka,in love and death: the murder of kurt cobain,yng di terbitkan 3 april 2004.buku mereka berhasil membeberkan teori bahwa Kurt Cobain telah di bunuh(mudered) dan bukanya bunuh diri (suicide).

Teori mereka di sokong oleh bukti” forensic kepolisian seattle. Menurut Wallace dan Halperin,pada saat kematianya,Kurt telah meninggalkan Courtney dan membeli 2 tiket penerbangan ke Seattle untuk dirinya dan seorang perempuan yng tidak di kenali.

Courtney percaya bahwa orang tersebut adalah teman perempuan Kurt. hal ini di buktikan melalui laporan mereka yng mengatakan sejam sebelum kematianya,Kurt telah hilang dari pusat pemulihan di los angeles,dia di dapati telah menghubungi United Airlines untuk membeli tiket penerbanganya yng masih belum di gunakan hingga sekarang.

Pada awal penyelidikan,Wallace dan halperin mempelajari laporan forensik mayat Kurt yng di keluarkan oleh kepolisian seattle. catatan tersebut melaporkan bahwa Kurt telah mengonsumsi heroin yng berlebihan sebelum bunuh diri dngan pistol.

Mereka percaya bahwa seseorang telah memberikan sejenis bubuk kepada Kurt, kemudian menunggu Kurt menghisap bubuk tersebut hingga berfantasi dan akhirnya melepaskan tembakan. tidak ada tanda atau sidik jari yng tertinggal pada pistol Kurt. tetapi hasil penyalidikan mendapati kemungkinan sekurang”nya ada 3 orang yng berada bersama Kurt di kamar itu sebelim dia mati.

Detik-Detik Kematian

Sebelum fajar hari selasa,5 April1994,Kurt Cobain terbangun di tempat tidur’y.dia bangun masih dengan pakaian lengkap,termasuk jaket corduroy coklatnya.dia memakai kaos kesayanganya “Half Japanese”, nama band punl dari Baltimore,mengenakan celana levi’s favoritnya,dan mengikatkan sneakers Converse.Kurt berjalan menuju stereo set’y dan menyetel “Automatic For The People” dari R.E.M

Kurt menyalakan Camel Light dan membaringkan diri di tempat tidur dengan mendekap sebuah nota ukuran besar dan sebuah pena merah di dadanya.dia sudah menulis sebuah surat pribadi yng panjang untuk istri dan anak perempuanya,yng dia tulis sewaktu berada di Exodus.dia membawa surat itu ke seattle dan meletakanya di bawah salah satu daru bantal” yng beraroma parfum Courtney.

“Kamu tahu,aku mencintaimu,” tulisnya. “Aku mencintai frances.Aku minta maaf.tolong jangan ikuti aku.maaf,maaf,maaf.” Berulank kali dia menulis kata“maafkan aku”.sehingga memenuhi seluruh kertas dngan permohonanya yng amat sangat itu. “Aku akan selalu ada,” dia melanjutkan. “Aku akan melindungimu.Aku tak tahu kemana aku akan pergi.tapi aku tak bias tinggal lebih lama di sini.”

Dia menulis surat kedua untuk Boddah teman khayalanya sewaktu kecil.Dia menyusun kata”_y secara cermat untuk memastikan bahwa kata”_y jelas dan mudah di mengerti.Ketika Kurt meletakan penanya,hanya tersisa dua inci bagian kosongdari kertas itu.

Kurt menutup surat itu dengan “Damai,Cinta,Empati.Kurt Cobain.”.dia menulis namanya sebagai tandatangan.dia dua kali menggaris bawahi kata “Empati”, yng muncul lima kali dalam surat itu.dia menulis satu baris lagi“Frances dan Courtney,aku akan berada di altar kalian”.

Kurt bangkit dari tmpat tidur’y dan masuk ruang pakaian.mengambil senapan,sekotak peluru dan kotak cerutu Tom Moore dari ruang kecil rahasianya.dari lemari lorong dia mengambil dua buah handuk.di dapur,dia membuka kulkas dan mengambil sekaleng root beer merk Braq’s.

Dengan menenteng Root beer,handuk,sekotak heroin dan sebuah pistol yng nanti’y akan di temukan dalam posisi janggal,Kurt membuka pintu menuju halaman belakang.Kurt duduk di lantai bangunan,mengamati keadaan dari pintu depan.sesuatu yng di inginkan terakhir kali adalah melakukan sesuatu yng parahdan mungkin akan membuat’y idiot,dan mungkin menyebabkan lebih banyk rasa sakit.kedua paman’y dan kakek buyut’y telah mengambil jalan bunuh diri,dan jika mereka mampu maka diapun(Kurt) mampu.

Kurt mengambil surat dari saku’y masih ada sedikit ruang di situ.Kurt menulis beberapa kata lagi “Kumohon teruslah hidup Courtney,untuk Frances,untuk hidup’y yng akn lebih bahagia tanpa aku.Aku cinta padamu.Aku cinta padamu.

Kurt menghisap Camel Light’y yng trakhir dan meminum beberapa teguk Barq’s.Kurt juga mengeluarkan plastic kecil berisi heroin dan meletakan’y diatas sendok.secara cermat dan sangat ahli Kurt menyiapkan heroin dan alat suntik’y,lalu menyuntikan’y di atas siku,tidak jauh dari tattoo huruf “K”

Kurt merasakan diri’y melayang,secara cepat mengapung dari tempat’y.Melayang ringan dan makin ringan lagi,merasakan napas’y makin berat.pandangan’y mulai kabur.

Adegan terakhir’y adalah Kurt meraih senapan yng berat dan mengarahkan ke langit” mulut’y.ini mungkin akan sangat keras,tapi dia yakin akan hal itu.kemudian Kurt Cobain pergi untuk selama’y.

Grunge

2009-12-24T21:52:00.002+07:00

Grunge

Apakah arti Grunge ? Arti kata Grunge itu dalam kamus Bahasa Inggris, Bahasa Perancisdan juga Bahasa Jerman yang masing-masing katanya adalah kamus paling lengkap, tetapi nggak ada penjelasan tentang kata tersebut. Bahkan dalam kamus bahasa “slang” Amerika terbitan Gramedia hanya ada dua kata yang mirip Grunge. Yaitu Grungt yang artinya muak dan Grung yang artinya muram. Namun dari bahasa spanyol Grunge memiliki arti sampah. Dari gaya berpakaian.Grunge selalu identik dengan pakaian yang pada lusuh, sobek, kotor,rambut acak-acakan dan bebas tapi gak sadar(mumetz). Walaupun grunge memiliki arti sampah, ber-style sampah akan tetapi grunge tidak berjiwa sampah..(Arti kataGrunge itu sendiri mungkin ada diantara kalian yang lebih tahu? aku mohon dengan amat sangat untuk saling bertukar informasi).

SEJARAH MUSIK GRUNGE

Musik Grunge diawali trend pemunculannya pada awal tahun ‘80an walau telah ada sebuah band yang memainkan musik Grunge yang telah muncul pada tahun ‘60an yaitu Crosby, Still, Nash dan Young (Literatur:sejarah Musik Dunia, Gramedia). Bahkan group band ini sempat memeriahkan WoodStock’69.. Disini mereka menyumbangkan 3 tembang Grunge dalam versi unplugged. Kemudian grup musik ini bubar karena kalah dengan trend Punk pada tahun ‘70an. Hanya tinggal Neil Young yang tetap bisa beradaptasi dan bertahan sehingga membuatnya dijuluki “The Good father Of Grunge”.

GAYA HIDUP GRUNGE

Suatu musik pastilah terpengaruh oleh gaya hidup yang dianut, contohnya dalam kehidupan kita sehari-hari. Begitu pula Musik Grunge sangat dipengaruhi oleh gaya hidup Nge-Grunge.. Gaya hidup Grunge yang sebenarnya adalah Sampah..!!. Bahwa gaya hidup Grunge yang asli dari sononya memang adalah gaya hidup yang erat kaitannya dengan sampah. Mereka makan sehari-harinya dari sampah yang dipungut dan dari koin recehan yang dilempar orang,hidup dari tunjangan sosial pemerintah, tidur mabuk di trotoar atau di bangku-bangku taman,sekali-kali ngompas dan melakukan tindak kriminal dan banyak hal lain yang kurang pantas untuk kita terapkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

Itulah mengapa para musisi pengusung musik Grunge menolak dengan tegas apa bila mereka dijuluki musisi Grunge! Mereka antara lain

Sound Garden dan Alice in Chains. Mereka lebih bangga disebut musisi Hard Rock.

Silver Chair dan Pearl Jam lebih bangga jika disebut musisi Alternatif/modern Rock. Halini dibuktikan pendapat dari Daniel John(Silver Chair) yang mengatakan dirinya sangat menyukai musik Grunge tetapi menolak dengan keras jika disebut musisi Grunge. Dia menolak karena mereka mempunyai fasilitas,mereka kuliah,hidup layak dan kemana-mana naik mobil.

Nirvana dan Kurt Cobain juga menolak disebut musisi Grunge. Cobain sendiri lebih senang disebut Punkers, karena mereka lebih bisa berfikir dan menyelami jiwa masing-masing, bukan hanya karena lagunya enak lantas mereka menari dalam berbagai istilah (pogo,moshing,ect..) tetapi nggak tahu apa yang mereka inginkan disampaikan dari lagu tersebut. Cobain sangat membenci ulah anak-anak Grunge yang sedemikian apatis dan egois(ingat lyric In Bloom? Lets check the Lyric!). Kalian pernah melihatt-shirt “Grunge is Dead ” ?. Cobain sendiri sebenarnya pingin membentuk Nirvana band Punk. Ini dibuktikan dengan pendapat Christ Novoselic yang menjelaskan bahwa Cobain sebenarnya menginginkan Nirvana menjadi sebuah band Punk bernuansa seperti Sex Pistols tetapi karena ia kekurangan referensi maka jadilah Nirvana menjadi sebuah band Punk yang aneh...!

Tetapi band-band tadi sependapat dalam satu hal bahwa Grunge bukanlah gaya hidup yang mereka anut walaupun mereka memainkan musik Grunge, tetapi lebih pada unsur bahwa Grunge is Soul yang mencerminkan tentang kejiwaan yang redup, bercerita tentang sisi lain dari dunia yang orang lain menganggapnya sinting dan lebih pada sifat koreksi pada diri sendiri(gimana kalian setuju nggak dengan yang satu ini?). Di Amerika sendiri kaum Grunge berbaur dalam kehidupannya sehari-hari dengan kaum Punk dan ketika ditanya kenapa nggak sekalian masuk ke musik Punk?Mereka menjawab bahwa itu adalah masalah selera,...

Lalu bagaimana ciri dari musik Grunge yang mereka sukai itu? Seorang Punk Traveller dari Seattle memberikan sedikit penjelasan mengenai musik kaum Grunge disana. Disana mereka berkumpul dalam setiap sudut sepanjang trotoar sambil memainkan instrument musik, berteriak-teriak nggak keruan tetapi dalam konteks musik tersebut dan menganggap bahwa musik tersebut adalah penyampaian dari isi hati mereka(mirip dengan musik soul tetapi yang ini lebih nggak keruan).

MUSIK GRUNGE

Musik Grunge bercirikan musik gitar eletrik "kotor-dirty", strong riffs, dandram yang kuat. Bunyi kotor disebabkan pengunaan meluas pengherot gitar yang kuat (heavy guitar distortion), kotak fuzz dan bunyi sua balas(Audio feedback). selain itu juga grunge dihasilkan dari percampuran gaya kepintaran memainkan rock punk. Grunge menggabung unsur punk keras dan heavy metal menjadi satu bunyi, walaupun kadang-kadang ia dimainkan dengan penekanan pada salah satu darinya. Kumpulan Grunge terkenal kerana mental dan atitude punk, grunge juga merupakan gabungan dari musik punk dari segi bunyi kasar, tempo kencang, dan penyampaian vokal.Bagaimana pun, grunge kadang juga memilki tempo lebih perlahan,(dissonant harmonies), dan peralatan rumit menyamai heavy metal.

Lirik Grunge biasanya tentang tema yang sama seperti terasing dari sosial,cuek ama keadaan sekitar (apathy), terperangkap dan keinginan untuk bebas. Ia biasanya dipenuhi kemarahan, kekecewaan, takut,tertekan dan drugs sering kali diselipkan dalam lagu grunge. Liriknya menyamai punk, beberapa faktor mungkin mempengaruhi lirik ini.Kebanyakan peminat dan pemusik grunge menunjukkan kekecewaan umum(general di senchantment) dengan keadaan masyarakat dan tidak puasdengan keadilan yang ada di masyarakat. Mereka sering kali dianggap golongan kotor dan pemakai narkoba. Kebanyakan pemusik grunge memulai karier mereka sebagai remaja atau pemuda dari korban sosial atau muak dengan keadaan mereka(kecewa kepada orang yang dicintai). Meski begitu tidak semua lagu grunge berkenaan tema sedemikian (terasing darisosial, cuek ma keadaan sekitar (apathy), terperangkap dan keinginan untuk bebas), "In Bloom" nya NIRVANA" sebagai contoh lirik grunge yang bertemakan “Humor” malah, beberapa lagu grunge juga ada yang dipenuhi dengan rasa muram, riang, dan lucu.

Grunge dah mati??

Banyak yang berpikir demikian. tapi fakta berbicara lain. kefanatikan orang terhadap kurt cobain sebagai salah satu pemusik grunge, membuat musik grunge tetap ada! walaupun tidak sehebat di masanya (awal tahun1990-an) dimasa sekarang musik grunge telah jauh berkembang. kita pun berharap demikian, semoga musik grunge tetap ada walaupun harus langka karena grunge adalah genre fenomena. meskipun bagai nyala api di lilin yang tertiup angin tapi masih berdiri tegak..

PERKEMBANGAN MUSIK GRUNGE

Bagaimana perkembangan musik Grunge di daerah asalnya sana? Jawabannya adalah : menurun drastis! Bahkan sekarang disana muncul lagi dengan trend baru dari musisi pengusung / yang memainkan musik Grunge(tahu khan bedanya musisi Grunge dengan musisi pengusung Grunge?). Trend baru ini disebut Seattle Sounds Coopment yaitu pengembangan dan pencampuran antara musik Grunge dengan musik Seattle Sound. Para pengusung Seattle Sounds Coopment ini antara lain: Creed dan juga dapat dilihat dari album terbaru Bush dan Pearl Jam, sedangkan Silver Chair dengan kecerdasannya dalam bermusik telah berhasil menggabungkan antara Grunge, Seattle Sound dengan musik kontemporer dan Modern(industrial).

Mereka menyebutnya “Musik of Future”.

KESIMPULAN DARI ALIRAN GRUNGE

Kita menyimpulkan bahwa Grunge adalah Jiwa (Grunge is Soul),bukan gaya hidup yang di anut oleh sebagian besar musisi pengusung musiknya.

Kita tahu adanya perbedaan antara musisi Grunge dengan musisi pengusung Grunge (Lo pilih yang mana?).

Aktif berfikir dan berorganisasi yang positif sehingga menjadikan musik Grunge sebagai musik pergerakan, musik yang meneriakkan kemuakan kita terhadap apa saja yang kita anggap perlu untuk diubah. Dalam hal ini kita tidak boleh kalah dengan Punk/Hardcore yang telah melaju meninggalkan kita. Sekali lagi mari kita tinggalkan jiwa apatis danegois yang kita adaptasi dari kaum Grunge. Dalam hal aktif berorganisasi positif ini banyak dari musisi pengusung Grunge dan Seattle Sound yang dapat kita teladani. Mereka antara lain :

1.Christ Novoselic(Sweet’75), Aktif mengurusi dan menggalang dana bagi organisasi yang peduli dengan kaum pengungsi korban perang.

2.Dave Grohl(Foo Fighter) dan Sonic Youth, bersama mereka aktif menggalang dana dengan mengadakan konser-konser amal keliling kampus demi kemerdekaan Tibet(Concert of Tibetan Freedom).

3.SilverChair, aktif dalam kampanye perlindungan terhadap hewan,menentang perburuan hewan liar dan percobaan kimia terhadap hewan(Animal Liberation Organization).

4.SilverChair dan Pearl Jam, aktif dalam organisasi menjaga kelestarian laut(check compilations Album: Music for Our Motheroceans).

Kurt Donal Cobain

2009-12-24T21:49:00.003+07:00

Kurt Donal Cobain

Kurt Donald Cobain lahir pada 20 Februari 1967 di rumah sakit umum Grays Harbor-Aberdeen Washington Amerika Serikat dan dikota inilah Kurt menghabiskan masa kecilnya.Kurt merupakan putra dari pasangan Donald Cobain seorang Amerika yang berprofesi sebagai montir dan Wendy O’Connor seorang wanita keturunan Irlandia.

Sejak kecil Kurt sudah menunjukkan bakatnya di bidang seni dan pada awalnya ia suka menggambar sehingga berkembang ke arah music,apa lagi di dukung keluarga sang ibu yng notaben kluarga musisi.kakak wendy,Chuck,bergabung dalam band Beachcombers.Mari,Bibi Kurt, adalah pemain gitar,sedang paman Tertua Kurt,Delbert mempunyai karir sbg penyanyi tenor irlandia.sang nenek,Iris Cobain,kolektor memorobilia jg berperan dalam bakat seni Kurt dan disaat usianya enam tahun Kurt bahkan dengan mudah memainkan nada yang baru saja ia dengarkan dari radio dengan menggunakan piano.

Selain seni,Kurt jg berminat pada olah raga.sang ayah mendorong'y untuk bermain bisbol. layak'y anak kecil,Kurt lebih banyak menggunakan pemukul'y sebagai alat perkusi,tapi akhirnya dia mulai ikut kegiatan olah raga tersebut.kegiatan bisbol itu merupakan salah satu contoh usaha Kurt mencari pengakuan sang ayah.

Ketegangan dan perselisihan orang tua Kurt yang kemudian berakhir dengan perceraian pada tahun 1976 saat Kurt masih berusia sembilan tahun. Sejak perceraian itu Kurt menjadi anak yang pendiam dari sebelumnya, ia juga lebih suka menyendiri yang di kemudian hari perceraian orang tuanya ini di ungkapkan dalam salah satu lagu Nirvana yang berjudul Serve The Servants yang termuat di album In Utero yang dirilis tahun 1993

Memasuki tahun 1981 ketika berusia 14 tahun, Kurt tertarik dengan film. ia mulai membuat sendiri film-film karyanya dengan menggunakan kamera video milik orang tuanya. karya-karyanya kebanyakan bernuansa gelap dan kematian, Kurt bahkan membuat sebuah film ber judul "Kurt Commits Bloody Suicide" yang diperankan sendiri olehnya dimana ia melakukan akting bunuh diri dengan menyayat nadinya.orang tua Kurt sadar,ada sisi gelapdalam diri Kurt.

Kecenderungan Kurt akan kematian juga nampak pada sebuah percakapan dengan seorang temannya "John Fields" dimana Kurt mengatakan bahwa "ia ingin menjadi musisi terkenal dan kemudian mati bunuh diri di tengah ketenarannya."

Dalam masa-masa ini pula Kurt terbiasa bicara soal bunuh diri kepada keluarga'y.tapi tak satu pun dari mereka yng terkejut mendengar'y.2 tahun sebelum'y salah satu kakek Kurt,"Burle Cobain",yng berusia 66 thn,bunuh diri dengan menembakan pistol kaliber 38 ke kepala &perut'y. istri "Kenneth Cobain",satu"_y saudara Leland,menembak dahi'y sendiri dengan pistol kaliber 22.

Dan pada masa-masa ini juga Kurt mulai mengenal narkotika meski belum sampai taraf yang mengkhawatirkan. Kurt menggunakan obat-obatan itu untuk sedikit membantunya melupakan dampak psikologis yang dirasakannya akibat perceraian orang tuanya. ketika SMA Kurt mulai berpindah-pindah tempat tinggal hingga akhirnya ia memutuskan untuk tinggal dirumah pamannya Chuck yang juga memiliki band.

Kurt kemudian diajari bermain gitar oleh Warren Mason gitaris band pamannya. ketika itu Kurt minta diajari memainkan lagu Stairway To Heaven milik Led Zeppelin.

Konser The Melvins merupakan sebuah band punk lokal asal Montesano yang kemudian mengubah haluan musik Kurt. The Melvins sendiri ketika itu begitu disegani di Montesano Aberdeen dan Olympia, vokalisnya Buzz Osborne mengenal Kurt sebagai pribadi yang unik saat mengomentari sukses Nirvana. Buzz mengatakan bahwa Kurt tadinya seperti anak yang tak punya masa depan tapi musik kemudian mengubahnya menjadi jutawan.

Kurt Cobain memang sudah tidak ada..namun di hati penggemar'y Kurt akan slalu hidup melalui karya-karya'y....

HIDUP JADI IDOLA MATI JADI LEGENDA

Pada masa hidupnya dia idola, di masa matinya dia legenda. Di sela-sela itu ia selalu dihinggapi mimpi buruk tentang perceraian orang tua, broken-home, kegelisahan, kemarahan, dan drugs. Sedangkan di satu sisi dia kerap bermimpi akan mencapai ketenangan, ketenaran, dan kejayaan artistiknya dalam bermusik.

Kurt Donald Cobain menjalani masa kecil yang tidak biasa di Aberdeen Washington.
Tumbuh dan berkembang di antara pertikaian sesama keluarga, teman dan kawan bisnisnya. Ia merancang nasib sebagai musisi dan mengajak teman-temannya untuk membentuk band yang akhirnya sukses berat di era 90an, Nirvana.

Pria yang kemudian menikah dengan Courtney Love (vokalis/gitaris Hole) ini kerap membuat resah dan merepotkan orang-orang di sekitarnya. Bersama Nirvana, Kurt memang telah mencapai hasil brilian dengan menciptakan karya-karya yang jenius, artistik dan sukses di pasaran. Sayang hal tersebut berbanding terbalik dengan segala keluhan dan kebenciannya terhadap industri, interaksi sosial, masa depan, sakit perutnya yang akut, atau bahkan terhadap dirinya sendiri. Mati muda sepertinya adalah rancangan yang selalu membayangi ayah dari Frances Bean ini di setiap karya lirik, lukis dan catatan-catatannya. Pernah ia menulis, ” Seperti Hamlet, aku harus memilih antara kehidupan dan kematian.”, atau sepenggal liriknya di Pennyroyal Tea, ” Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld, so I can sigh eternally.” Di saat tertentu adiksinya terhadap obat-obatan telah mencapai dosis maksimal. Sekejap kemudian kegelisahannya telah menjadi pekat. The drugs don’t work. Hingga akhirnya satu hari ia memutuskan untuk memutar album Automatic For The People-nya REM, menelan obat penenang, menyuntikkan heroin dan menarik pelatuk senapan yang tepat mengarah ke langit-langit mulutnya. Damai, cinta, empati, dan dor!… Kurt Cobain telah memilih bergabung dengan Hendrix, Joplin serta Morisson yang juga ’selesai’ di usia 27 tahun.

Editor majalah The Rocket dan jurnalis musik asal Seattle, Charles R Cross melukiskan perjalanan hidup Kurt Cobain secara lengkap lewat riset selama empat tahun, 400 wawancara, dan catatan dokumen penting lainnya. Heavier Than Heaven yang pertama kali diterbitkan oleh Hodden and Stoughton pada tahun 2001 ini telah menjadi salah satu buku terlaris tentang kehidupan seorang rockstar. Selama membaca buku ini anda mungkin akan tertarik dan larut. Sekilas akan merasa dekat dan mengenal sosok fenomenalnya – bahkan bagi yang belum mengenal nama Kurt Cobain sekalipun. Bagi mereka yang hidup di scene musik, rasanya tidak terlalu asing dengan sikap kontroversial yang dimiliki Kurt atau temen-temannya di Nirvana. Proses penceritaan yang runut dan mengalir menjadikan bacaan ini lebih menarik serta sulit untuk dihentikan. Kredit positif bagi penerbit Alinea yang telah merilisnya dalam versi bahasa Indonesia untuk pasar nasional. Buku ini telah mencapai penggambaran yang sempurna untuk sebuah kontroversi mengenai realita hidup, drugs dan rock n’ roll. Suatu pengalaman seorang musisi berbakat yang memiliki dua gairah utama ; Kesuksesan serta Kesedihan. Dan rupanya ia telah berhasil membunuh keduanya. Well, Heavier Than Heaven adalah kisah dan pelajaran hidup yang tidak bisa ditolak mudah hanya dengan sebuah ucapan ‘Nevermind’…

Seattle Sound of Grunge

Seattle sound of Grunge

      Pada era 1980-an,muncul sebuah gerakan penolakan oleh para musisi di seattle.Lahirlah istilah “Seattle Sound” untuk menyebut pembrontakan trhadap tatanan atau aturan- aturan baku dan etika dalam bermain musik.bagi mereka,aturan tersebut sudah terlalu mengekang,menindas,bahkan membunuh kreativitas dalam mangekspresikan idealisme yng mereka miliki ke dalam bentuk syair dan aturan nada yng tertata dalam kesatuan yng indah untuk di dengarkan tanpa harus berpatokan pada suatu aturan yng baku.

      Bagi para musisi seattle,sebuah musik bukan di nilai dari susunan iramanya tetapi di titik beratkan dari jiwanya.musik haruslah perihal keyakinan atau hasil penglihatan dan perasaan di lingkungan pribadi ataupun masyarakat dunia.musik jangan menjadi sebuah boneka seni yng terlalu kaku dan terkesan terlalu di paksakan agar bias di terima oleh pasar.

      Lalu,,apa yng di maksud dngn Grunge ???
Sejumlah pihak mengatakan bahwa Grunge muncul pertama kali pd tahun 1980-an.namun menurut mereka pada tahun 1960-an sudah ada sebuah band yng memainkan musik grunge,yaitu Crosby,still,nash and young.kemudian band ini di bubarkan karena ledakan punk pada tahun 1970-an.hanya tinggal neil young yng tetap bisa beradaptasi dan bertahan sehingga membuatnya di juluki “the godfather of grunge”

     Sebagian literatur lain'y menyebutkan bahwa Grunge lahir sejak era kejayaan punk rock di tahun 1970-an dan bermuara di Minneapolis.Mulai bergerak sejak tahun 1980-an ke kawasan Northwest,AS.Dengan musik nyaris minus Sound Effect,kecuali suara gitar yngb sangat kasar, Grunge di nilai banyak kritisi musik tidak lebih dari "rock n' roll minus atribut"

     Apakah atribut yng di maksud adalah jaket kulit,rambut kaku ber-hair spray,kalung gelang metal,kostum mengkilat atau lampu warna-warni dan kembang api di panggung konser?? mungkin iya.tapi Grunge tidak lahir dengan sendiri'y.Grunge tidak sama dengan hard rock atau hevy metal.grunge adalah anak dari hard rock era 1970-an lalu berpasangan dengan punk rock.

     Pengertian semacam ini mungkin bisa lebih mudah di terima.Nah,dalam hal inilah Nirvana tidak sendiri.band" lain'y adalah Pearl jam,Alice In Chains,Soundgarden ataupun Mudhoney.seperti hal'y Nashville untuk musik country,New Orleans untuk blues,dan Los angeles untuk hard rock dan kheavy metal,maka Grunge untuk seattle.

     Tabir Grunge sebenar'y mulai terbuka pada 1986 ketika album kompilasi Deep Six di rilis.Band" yng ada dalam album kompilasi ini antara lain soundgarden,Green River,dan Melvins

      Begitu bebas,begitu lepas,itulah cermin yng terpantul dariu sikap bermusik para pengusung Grunge.mereka menempatkan aktivitas bermusik sebagai hobi belaka,bukan untuk merengguk uang.mereka cukup senang jika masuk rekaman lalu di edarkan oleh perusahaan rekaman kecil tanpa mempedulikan pasar.kommunitas rock di seattle melahirkan kompilasi berikutnya yng juga fenomenal,yaitu temple of the dog.
