it's funny because almost every nirvana song sounds great when it's played by nirvana, but when anyone else covers it then it ranks from "shit" to "does justice but not so good". the compositions made by kurt were so amazing, emotionally true and they fitted him so much that they only sound great when he's singing and playing guitar.
This is a decent cover. Not many people who cover Nirvana do the song justice but I must say this one does. Of course I still prefer the Nirvana version.
Don't you get it? It was meant as a euology for the talented Mr. Cobain after his tragic death. I can't think of a better person to perform this song, exactly as she did it, to pay her respects. Bravo, Sinead!
This is a great version of this song, it's so soulful. Why do some people have such a problem with other artists and amateurs singing other artists' songs. What a stagnant world it would be if we only had one version of each song. Nirvana are my number one, all-time favourite band and if others want to perform Kurdt's great songs then just maybe more people will get to hear the genius that he was.
@BenSonOfJohn Oh you are totally right!! I hate conflicts of music's versions which of some song is better...I think we should give every version the chance of being great in its own way. And I think you can't compare Nirvana's version with this one. As you said: They are too different!
@BlitzKriege35 Do your research. She writes almost all her songs. She wrote more songs by the age of 27 then Kurt Cobain did. And MULTIPLE artists have covered and continue to cover her songs. The is meant to be meditative and sparse. Listen.
Hearing Sinead O'Connor sing this makes me look at 'All Apologies' with a different perspective. Kurt Cobain did say he felt the song was "peaceful"... he dedicated the mood of the song to his wife and daughter. This feels calm... and I like it!
dear god, it's just a poetry...

I really don't thing Mr. Cobain would have been able to do this with as little accompaniment as Sinead does. At best he sounds off-key.

i like it because you can tell she's thought about the lyrics
this is because her songs are quite different to nirvanas
and so, i figured, the gap was bridged through the lyrics
