Reviews for Do Re Mi Lyrics

This is without a doubt Kurt at his best. He sounds so...phenomenal. This makes up completely for the other songs from Nirvana that I thought sucked. He was a great lyricist, you gotta love these lyrics.

This is a small snippet of just some of the home recordings that exist, that show Cobain's real side. Not an angry, distortion-driven, punk-rock-influenced alternative "rockstar".
This shows the sensitive, creative, sad, brilliant and caring side of Cobain. His personal aura around his home recordings is one, that I don't think anyone can achieve, and maybe never will.
The riff catches you in from the beginning, and the repeatitive whispers "do re mi, do re mi". The build up around 3/5 of the way through the song, bang straight back into another beautiful verse.
Raw power, a guitar, an isolated room, and a tortured soul.
Simply beautiful, thank you for the music, Kurt.

It seems amazing to me that many of Cobain's best tracks were non album songs relegated to compilations or never released, such as Do Re Mi. I think many of these unreleased songs outshine the albums, and I think that this kind of supports the idea that Cobain contructed a personae and set of songs for public consumption, and another set of songs for dealing with the very real pain in his life.

Kurts voice is absolutly astonishing in this, one of my all-time favortire nirvana songs. I think for a demo, this is fantastic. It's raw powerful and won of the few Nirvana songs that really strikes me hard with emotion. (I do love all of Nirvana's songs though)

Kurt was really breaking away from the Chaos & damage that Low electric magnetic frequency can
do to human tissue and was evolving to lead us into a perfect freedom

I just want some help find out if this was "officially" the last song ever written and recorded as a demo just before Cobain passed on.?? I heard that from some people.

Kurt had a fuckd up childhood and had a definite depression. It's moving because there's submission and sadness. Half of the words are really slurred in the acoustic version. That's not only because of his style, it's because he sang the song for himself, not caring how much sense it made. Other things are slurred with double meaning like "heal/real", "what it's like/what is life", and even "disease me/deceive me/to see me". I think that the song is less about him singing "do re mi" and more along the theme "don't rape me". Take this verse:
"If I may ‘n if I might wake me up and see me
If I do ‘n if I like find me how deveive me
If I may cold as ice I may how to see me real
Raised in his socket it fades from this moment
A chase from his socket and I will kneel"
He tells that he was woken up in the cold of the night and made to do something. The "chase" here and at the last verse is that something. He also felt deceived and wanted to feel real. I don't mean to overanalyze, but the song really describes Kurt's bad memories. He's expressive enough to slur them and all the empathy came out in this song. It's not as depressing as "Something in the Way", but it reveals much more about him than his other songs about violence or rape.

Wow. I'm always amazed when one bands demo's totally outshine other bands A-material. It kind of sounds like REM. Kinda sounds like The Beatles. As great as it is, listening to Do Re Mi is getting of a tease considering that we will never hear a mastered version, nor the apparently “Totally different” record that was going to follow it. Oh well.

That's a pretty good preview on what we would have heard on Nirvana's fourth album.

If you listen to songs like "You Know You're Right", "Marigold" or "Do Re Mi", you hear, that Cobain really wanted to realize what he said in the MTV interview shortly before he died: Doing an totally different album compared to the ones before.

Just recommentable!

this song is really good. should have been released. even tho it is a demo, it is really inspiring. good as any beatles song. A+!
