He didnt write this song if u listen to what hes saying on unplugged he says that it was an old church song another band redid and he wanted to redo it. and people it doesnt matter how he died, its jsut the fact that hes dead and hes not coming back. PS. learn how to play this song on guitar its simple and its sounds BEEEAAUTIFUL don't think so kurt not believe in god | Reviewer: subpop | 12/13/07 review at his unplugged song likes lake on fire (origin song by meat puppets)see.. he believe in hell..who made it? dont he think the god made this..so what important about life after death? nirvana is taken by some religion in this fake world..so think it..we are not like the music but we love it..we are not shit scientist that says we came from an alien.. This may sound sappy | Reviewer: Disclosed | 11/28/07 Well I think that despite our best attempts at understanding what Kurt was singing about the lyrics are just too vague(I'm not sure if I spelt that wrong) in the original version by the vaselines alone, when he covers it with his own belief's to know. and to the guy who said something about the Polly song, thats actually about a newspaper article he read that told a story of a girl who was captured and raped after a punk concert in seattle, he tells that song from the rapist's perspective which makes it very intresting. Peace out Niggas Kurt didn't write the song | Reviewer: Kurt didn't write this | 11/21/07 The song was a cover of a song by the Vaselines, which was a parody of the hymn Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, but this isn't anti-Christian or anti-God. Get over yourselves. grounge not dead | Reviewer: konito | 11/18/07 i think your all a bunch of idiots, what's the fuckin problem if he believed or not in god? it's just a song, if you don't like you just don't listen to it. respecting Kurt as an excellent musician and an excellent person , i dont think godtook him because of that song don't be stupid. ITS JUST A SONG the meaning that the song can have or not it was kurts problem. we will never know what he wanted to say all in all: the truth about that song died. a long long time ago.. ohhh god | Reviewer: max guevara | 11/15/07 (first of all forgive me the mistakes it isn't my mother tongue) So I think there are many different ways to believe. Somebody "make" it as a religion, somebody according to his own rules, and somebody only feels it, that there is maybe a god above. Kurt wasn't religious, but it doesn't mean that he couldn't feel sometimes the chance of god's existing, or that he didn't feel sometimes the thirst after it. (To be quite frank if there was certainly a god who forgived everything so we were certainly able to live after we die, it would be high reposeful.) So I don't know if Kurt was a believer or not, but I'm sure that the "narrator"(poetic ego) of this lyrics/poem is a doubter, frustrated, but apparently longing believer. Without this, the poem would be much less effective, meaning and heavy. This aspect (the configuration of a believer who can't join his god because he is weak, but he devolve it to god because it's his fault because "he doesn't want me for a sunbeam")is an important poetic tool. forever 27 | Reviewer: Benjamin | 10/28/07 I think this song is for 'Forever 27'. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Jopplin, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones. Not only this but this song was written close to the death of River Pheonix. I think this song has a lot to do with the deaths of many famous people. Think About This One.. | Reviewer: Billy Malice | 10/17/07 ive read quite a few of the comments posted adn theyre all very good, except the one that says he did kill himself.. that person cannot see beyond all the propaganda himself. but anyways. Id First like to say that im pretty sure if it werent for nirvana id probably been dead a long time ago. and all their music is very inspirational to me, and i can connect to it in a way that, i cant wiht any otehr music. secondly. this song, and my interpretaion of it, is that, Kurt did believ in god, and jesus, but felt like, he wasnt good enough, that it wasnt for him, that sure there were ppl that god had blessed but he wasnt one of those ppl. i only think this because yeah, i guess i do blelive in god, but, not for me. religion and hope and all that other crap is not what my life has been about ever. maybe other ppl feel teh same way, because i guess some ppl were just meant to fight for everything, every step of the way and every minute of the day a constant battle for survival. whereas you see some ppl, like a man i know, who had a really amazing job and all this stuff and one day he just quit, sold his house divorced his wife, and when i asked him why, he told me god had told him to. and i laughed in his face. he was living wiht his mother for a year, when all of a sudden he got this million dollar home, he was handed a bunch of stuff, and it was jsut nuts. lol. i coudlnt believe it. and i think thats more then jsut coincidence. but this song to me, is that, yeah sure jesus exists and shit, but exactly liek it says, he dont want me for a sun beam, because sunbeams, are not made liek me.. if you agree or disagree, right on, this is just my interpretation. and yeah. havea good one guys. Hmmm.... | Reviewer: Lithium!!! | 10/15/07 I think this is a song that is going out to the people who just weren't given, genetically, what it takes to be a 'sunbeam' to society. It also mocks the whole idea of god within it by pointing out the circular logic in the whole concept of people judging people's worth by the sum of their genetic (dis)position which is pure luck, and the fact that the majority of society believes some higher being is responsible for this- 'Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam, because sunbeams are not made like me.' I guess that may or may not be a stretch, only the vaselines probly know real meaning.... but w/e it's about, I think it's a song of frustration/sadness. Kurt Cobain | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/17/07 Has anyone read the biography of Kurt Cobain? Kurt had a rough life. His parents were broken up and he had been passed around to live with relatives and friends many times before his 16th birthday. Was this really a song of hate to God, a song of faith, or just a song that provoked you to you think a little bit deeper? Then again, was it just a light hearted song about having a rough life? Yes, Nirvana did not write this song themselves it is a Nirvana version. It was not to disrespect The Vaselines or the Meat Puppets, it was to show respect to them for their song and work. Kurt was not happy about being "Unplugged." Novoselic was actually playing a bass guitar that was plugged in. Really, the only person who could explain this is the man himself. After all, he did the rendition of the song. Lets just leave it at that. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5
