    Nirvana fans will dox and harass me for this, but “Underneath the Bridge” on Nevermind.

    Album’s just one absolute banger after another, and then it finishes with a song that sounds like someone wrote in 5 minutes while hungover at a music festival.

    (But then I suppose it redeems itself with “Nameless Shameless,” if you count that one, so at least it doesn’t end in disappointment)

          It’s probably the most authentic Kurt on the record if we’re being real. Depressed, dejected and broken down

              Lyrically yes, sonically not as much. The music captures his overall mood much better than the angrier sounding songs. Man had tremendously horrible IBS and a heroin addiction, sure he was angry but how much more often was he just absolutely in the dumps?

                Yes, and I think I’ve made it clear that I don’t think the song adequately conveys that. I could expand on this, but I’ve already stated my opinion of the song, which hasn’t changed one iota, so I will choose not to engage.

      I mean… It is Nirvana. There’s a very good chance that is exactly what happened.

      Also: you got the name of the song right? I grabbed my disc to listen to it since I don’t remember that one and there is literally no song with that name on the album. Not even the deluxe edition or remastered edition on Spotify have a song called “Underneath the Bridge.”

      Did you mean “Something in the Way?” It has those words as part of the lyrics. It’s one of my favorites off that album. lol

        I did mean “Something in the Way.” Funny, I haven’t looked at the names of the songs for a long time, and my mind played a trick on me

        Something in the Way is literally a highlight of Nevermind, but I can’t think of any other Nirvana song that has “Underneath the bridge” in the lyrics.

      I’m just going to join the dogpiling on you about incorrect song names lol

      It’s “Endless, Nameless”, not Nameless Shameless
