Old Age (rare early demo) - Nirvana

I found this (I think) rare Old Age demo!
I got some request in my "Top 20 NIrvana" vid to put out the full version.
I Havnt done any editing on the audio! the version I found where fading after the first chorus! But the video is my work!

After some time I also found the lyrics to this version:

"Some day I'll blame my mother
For the reason she became my mother
Some day I'll die over
I'M no?
No more prayers just clean my cover
Some day I will die over
He sings to me tonight
And I know without a doubt
There's no way out of you
Hevean knows
Old Age"

nice, didnt know this song, i have Demension 7, First chorus first and Opinion but these are all well known songs.. :/

[MontellPictures]

yeah, its not that a rare song, its just this version thats rare. another loger version is on the boxset. (WTLO)

the song u talk bout is probably verse chorus verse, not "first"

[sajidkeren]

I want respond to nrad99, this songs not released because this song only telling him (kurt) about his parents. So he didn't finished, makes him regrets. I was told by my friends. do you have any theories?

[MontellPictures]

What I know this song was written by Kurt & Courtney togheter, (as heart shaped box) and where supposed to be a Hole song, or pheraps a Kurt&Courtney "solo" thingy, they did play alot of songs acousticly togheter. But I dont really know, it was also a nevermind outtake, so some facts are talking against eachother.

maybe it is to soft and slow to be on a CD (tough I love it). Let your theories flow :)

my favorite nirvana song ever... i dont understand why, but it attaches to me for some reason

[empty25]

This was always my favourite Kurt's song. Really important for my life, altough it's only 71 secs. Heard it 12 years ago, and still breaks a heart :( Now 15 years has passed, since he's dead....

[nirvanabuzz69]

@DuArMinHjalte i do hope it is the full version of this!

[ecsesspool]

Always liked this version better than the studio version.

[DuArMinHjalte]

@nirvanabuzz69 there will be an unrealesed version of old age at the 20fh anni. nevermind super deluxe thing album.. prob this one, or the acoustic w/ only kurt !

[nirvanabuzz69]

This was leaked about 10 years ago on the nirvana fan club forum or it could have been livenirvana. It was when Courtney tried to take the credit for the song and someone in the nirvana camp obviously took exception to this and released this short version. Hope we get the full version soon.

@MontellPictures was a song Kurt wrote and decided to give to Courtney. Was written well before he met her. Heart Saped Box was another he was going to give Courtney but he thought better of it :)
