i realized i spoke at length about When It Started but didn't explain why I decided to cover PRoyal Tea…
Of course I've been a Nirvana fan all my life. That's def why I picked up the guitar in the first place. Snuck my dad's CD's from the cabinet before he was all moved out. Got In Utero felt edgy. The inside sleeve of Nevermind had Kurt with his MIDDLE FINGER UP??? I was hooked even before Mom told me about his death.
Those were the passionate years but Nirvana has also aged EXTREMELY WELL. I am continually blown away from the rawness and expression in In Utero even though I've heard all those songs a million times. There's nothing like it, really to my mind. Ofc there are a lot of bands that SOUND like Nirvana. But they aren't Nirvana cuz Nirvana had a MAGIC. Like the f*ckin beatles man!
Anyway it was 3AM. Just the other night I was tossing and turning thinking about godknowswhat. I sang the lyric “I'm so tireddd I can't sleeeeepppp” and I said “you know what, i really understand that song right about now, let's play it.”
So silence as a mouse I pulled up my acoustic and started singing a little version of it.
Then I said “f*rick it we ain't sleeping anyway, I'm gonna go record this rn.”
So its whispery vocals. Can't wake up the roommates. And that's the whole story. I really like how it sounds. I think it's VIBEY. What do YOU THINK?
Tell me plz. Hopefully the Submithub Playlisters like it. At least some of them will have Heard it before…
