That was not purposeful. Nirvana had a short catalog, but it was deep, and so it's hard to fit everything into one week. We're trying, though.
This song wasn't actually a single, because DGC, their record label, didn't want to cannibalize album sales. Nevertheless, the song got an awful lot of airplay. But what's it about? It is said that it is about children with cancer... but some, and by some, we mean Courtney Love, think the song is about her.... and her vagina.
Kurt's not here to tell us what this song is about, but he did leave the song behind for all of us to question and ponder.... and enjoy.
Let's look at the song live, where you can really hear Kurt belt the song. More apparent here are Dave Grohl's harmonies (with Pat Smear adding some vocal assistance). Most apparent to me is Kurt's reluctance to be in the spotlight.
