Nirvana - About A Girl (Acoustic) (+Lyrics) (Kurt Cobain)

[thewackyretard]

This is not acoustic...

[lacycr96]

To be honest, stuff like this (aka bleach and the unreleased stuff) is nirvana at its best. Nevermind and In Utero were more of nirvana having to be some commercial sound, but the original unknown stuff is them playing the music they all liked and really just kind of having fun with it. All good albums, all good songs, I just think the demos and early stuff are the best. Just an opinion.

[BistkitEatingBulldog]

wowwwww... i love kurt hes so creative. that was so delicate and touchey .

[mozerslash]

FODAHHHHHHHHH

[odisiusable]

THIS WAS FROM THE BOX SET I OWN IT! FECAL MATTER!!!

[AceOfFreak]

How can anybody dislike this? :D

[steeltoto]

wow, its reallllly cool!

[MrJillHace]

These "before album" versions have really interesting lyrics

[HBzTV]

thank GOD for LibraAnne she is probley the most musicly tastful youtuber ever and better yet her videos always load fast

[PlurrRecovery]

clean electric not acoustic. I don't like how the bass is so much more prominent then the guitar but I love Kurts voice. Free.

[santie82]

thank you so much...

[KendrixTermina]

I prefer the original lyrics (these are good, too, but there's something oddly cute to that version that makes me love it), but this surely shows how versatile he is as an artist, and that he probably viewed his music as Art that can be experimented with instead of a product that has to adhere to quality standarts. and there's more: He didn't just change the lyrics, the entire way he sings them is different. The original says "I hate you, but don't worry, I still love you", but thisone sounds

[KendrixTermina]

like he's crying through the whole thing.

[xxdollydaze]

@KendrixTermina This was recorded in 1988. THESE are the original lyrics. Not the ones you are thinking of. I mean really. All of these things are dated, people. Come on.

[KendrixTermina]

@xxdollydaze Sorry. I'm not an exactly an expert.

[RafoRamone]

What tone is that? D tune?

[thebeerfest2008]

where'd you fine this?

[Xrick56]

acoustic my ass

[arham95]

@Xrick56 Acoustic your ass.

[bongpotsmoker]

@arham95 acoustic my bawlz.

[thebeerfest2008]

@Xrick56 we'll if you compare it to the one on "Bleach" then you can understand why they put acoustic

[MrTounyfucksyourmum]

Kurt spent a lot of emotion in this version

[shaneshaneshane94]

kdc u were much to young:'o

[billyboy434]

That's not acoustic, but it's still really cool, especially the different lyrics.

[CarCfdz8266]

[JulietteMorrison6]

We Love You Kurt!!!!! ♥

[fletcherdilmore]

the lyrics are so much different

[rawrSIERRArawr]

[xxpoRn0sTar]

thats not acoustic xD

[GeorgeOxido]

This isn't acoustic. It's a demo with only Kurt Cobain on guitar & vocals and Krist Novoselic on Bass. Very good demo.

[Normanstoned]

best song and version ever!!!!!

[rimbaudable]

exelente version

[ManyaqBiseyimYaaaa]

pfff bad

[sp1derfan90]

I like the tone of this version

[mutherfuckyou]

[sp1derfan90]

look in the info

[mrm4xim4m]

idiot!

[metallicaSk8Cr3w]

did u know they rereleset bleach

[MultiNirvanafan]

sounds great love the sound of the guitar sounds creepy

[theaterrox96]

yah. i love the guitar to this song but in this version his guitar kinda sounds like its slowly dying.. haha no offense kurt :D

[hiirschybarx33]

amazing... RIP Kurt Cobain...

[Dippy895621]

why did he have to go....

[123ElijahGoesPee]

I love home recordings more than studio quality songs.

Thanks so much for posting this.

Do you know if it is available anymore?

[sp1derfan90]

yeah, on the sliver : best of the box CD

[georgiarican1]

thats an electric

[ShuguProductions]

s'Not acoustic....

[xezko578]

why?

[ShuguProductions]

it's an electric guitar. Just because it doesn't have distortion doesn't mean it is acoustic.

[Gmanlikeswaffles]

I wish these would be remastered, it's hard to hear what he's saying. I like this version more lyrical wise though

[coughzilla]

There's probably not much to master. He probably did this with a Panasonic tape recorder. They might be able to clean up some hiss, but other than that it is what it is.

[immeluschi]

thats not acoustic

[theaterrox96]

if it was that wood be a really weird acoustic guitar

[RazoSG]

@immeluschi Yeah it's not acoustic but on the box set for some reason it says 'acoustic demo'. Dunno why.

[lithium2370]

u r the reason he shot himself...

[rockerzztop]

their is alot of evidence that he was murdered and their is the actual 97.7% positive that courtney love offered el duce $50,000 to kill him but el duce declined look it up.

[nothingman500]

i agree...check out the documentary called "Kurt and Courtney" (1998)... it has some pretty interesting stuff

[rockerzztop]

ty dude but ive seen that documentary and whoever did 1 thumbs down to my comment FUCK YOU

[oaker80]

that's what people think but i saw him rehearsing with elvis and jimi hendrix on the french riviera andy warhol was painting them working while bob marley was smoking a big ass spliff he thinks you're all too angry to be real fans of nirvana and can't take joke man...

[oaker80]

I can't wait for his next album!!

[sixwing8]

Dude, wtf?

There comes no ''Next Album''

Kurt the singer is dead

[UnknownPsychoPath]

Sorry to break this to you but he died a long time ago the only album that is coming out next is Nirvana With The Lights Out

[Gmanlikeswaffles]

Technically there's a new album coming out.... it's called Live in Reading. It's not "new" but it is in a way that they haven't ever remastered these and put them on dvd/cd and such high quality before.

[UnknownPsychoPath]

i know what you mean i saw them live in reading off here so that vid should be cool

[theaterrox96]

do u know when its coming out?

[Gmanlikeswaffles]

November 3rd. There's also a remastered bleach album coming out at that date!

[theaterrox96]

awesome! my friend was telling me about it some and i think she mentioned there might be some unrealeasd songs too :o

[Gmanlikeswaffles]

Yep! There's supposed to be some unreleased performances of the songs, it should be fantastic.

[notredame3141]

Lol

[jcr678]

P.S. sorry to break it to u guys but kurk was crazy

[starcraft90]

[JerseyMcgee81]

umm this is not acoustic, sounds electric to me

[ChristianSVR08]

why is it called About A Girl

[Zao1340]

Its written about his ex i beleive

[IRISHPUNK676]

i heard that he was asked by his girlfriend at the time to write her a song and i beleive he wrota spank thru instead and later on he wrote this for her but they broke up and she never new it was for her

[franknirvana]

Wrong. Spank thru was written in 85, for his then band 'fecal matter'. He wasnt going out with tracy at that time.

[BTown787]

He wrote it about his ex tracy, and whenever he was showing it to krist and chad at the time they asked what its about and he replied with "It's About A Girl"

[acdcatt]

Kurt Cobain wrote this after spending the previous night listening to The Beatles first US album, Meet The Beatles, over and over.

[Twardle05g2]

I prefer this version to the finished one. I think its much more reallistic from his life, but thats just me. Great song!!!

[ray519876]

i love this song

[tenminutemiler]

wow kurt completely changed the lyrics up for the final version

[stickman0102]

i think this is better then the in utero version

[Schmollen]

Bleach version you mean right?

[stickman0102]

ya i feel stupid

[theretardoone]

Don't pin a note to me

I do promise to agree

I do live in constant fear

I do wonder why I'm here

[BleachedNirvana]

Thanks for posting!

[htmsummoner]

[e6e2e3e1]

Im realy big fan of Nirvana, but this sounds realy horrible :-D

[andionita]

it's suppose to be a demo, you know

[the0man0in0the0mask]

Yeah. I think he improved his voice alot later in his career.

[thesweetestwave]

[lunarjudgement333]

[grunge0730]

[parade420]

this is from with the lights out

[grunge0730]

LibraAnne, do you know if this is the first recorded About a Girl song from Kurt?

[TheRacistsMustDie]

This is not acoustic (that doesn't mean I don't like it).

[grunge0730]

i love this song

[trekkieguitarist1966]

i love it

[AJ78910]

its about his girlfriend telling he to get a job or they would break up. thats it.

[parade420]

i think its about his girlfriend not being loyal to him

[AJ78910]

he said what it was about in an interview.

[somebuddycool]

IS this song about prostitution? You hang me out to dry... but i cant see you every night (for) Freeeee

[ojdon]

Nope. I forget the story... But it's not that... Well I don't think it is...

[tehmaster77]

its about his gf tracy. he had to drive to her house (so it wasnt free :P)

[Humaninme78]

hewrotethisafterlisinentothebe­atles

[dbLP640]

correct, he had a girlfriend , but she lived far away, so he couldn't go to her for free.

i've seen a little text about it but i've got no idea where i saw it

[poeticpoverty]

he wrote about it about a girl he was dating and krist asked him whats it about he said it's about a girl.

read heavier than heaven... it's a good book

[theretardoone]

i second that, you'll learn alot, and if every misinformed person about talking shit about cobain read about what his life was like then they might shut the fuck up.

[PenaltyDeath]

I Cant see every night for free means he cant take his girlfriend anywhere every night for free

[o0ochemicalCityo0o]

actually it means his girlfriend lets him live with her for free

[PenaltyDeath]

oh my bad i should listen 2 the lyrics better thx for the correction

[o0ochemicalCityo0o]

no worries thought id throw it out there

[jonathan02468]

yea right lol

[punkrules111]

Why nobody comments this amazing video?!?!
