Review about Jesus Doesn't want Me for a Sunbeam what are you on about? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/25/09
I'm an ex-christian, but i still believe there is something out there, this song mean to me that jesus didn't want me as his kindred, but at the same time, he didn't reject me, I turned my back on him, so don't expect me to cry, and don't expect me to die for him. Thats what it means to me anyway...
The song is about being foresaken. It's about God or Jesus not being "there" for a child. It really fits Kurt's experience and I'm sure spoke to him on many levels.
An abused child attaches onto any myth that supports the end of abuse. If you are abused and believe that someone bigger and stronger can end it you become dismayed when it does not.
It's a great but simple song and we need to not look at it as an attack on our personal beliefs but rather a call to action against those that use philosophical beliefs to harm others.
lyrics and stupidity | Reviewer: paolo | 10/18/09
Well, actually the way Kurt sings this is without "'cause", although the Vaseline's lyrics are correct.
It's unbelievable how much stupid people make stupid points. Don't you realize this is just a song, and to my ears a beatiful one?
Yeah, sure Kurt found something in it that meant more to him, and maybe some of the listeners will find that same thing in it, or maybe not.
So what? Can't you just live with your beliefs and let other people live with theirs? Is your faith so weak, that you can't bear to listen to something else? Come on! It's ridiculous.
"I'll throw my Nirvana LP's without remorse". Why on earth did you buy them in the first place?
Ah, stupidity... and closed minds. Art, music, poetry, religion, if they have different names there must be a reason!
Yeah, reason - something you make little use of.
Now please let me spend a few words for the religious minds. God is there whether or not you care about it (yes, stop thinking of God as a person please), whether or not you sing about it, whether or not you pray, whether or not you believe. If it doesn't care, why do you? Let people have their own spirituality, and mind about yours! You need it!
jesus dont want me for a sunbeam | Reviewer: mike saldivar | 10/18/09
i think its talking bout religion like jesus dont want him cause he thinks that hes not perfect but thats not true then hes says if u dont want me then dont expect me to cry for all the reasons u had to die cause he died on the cross dont ever ask yor love of me cause he think hes not good enough in other words my opinion
um, do you guys know what your really on about? | Reviewer: tony | 6/23/09
ya guys know, that this song is actually a cover for a vaselines song called jesus doesnt want me for a sunbeam. (though the original release name is jesus wants me for a sunbeam, check wikipedia for an explination). The song is self is actually a parody of a song called, ill be your sunbeam, which is a childrens him.
dont belive me? go have a look at Nirvana Unplugged, listen to how kurt introduces the song.
Pleas | Reviewer: Andra | 6/21/09
Do not confuse our perspective with Cobain perspective, the real meaning just he know it remains a work of art as each sees its own reflection point of view and not kurt view. However my perspective (I am not saying that is the reality) is that the message is clear, he lives in the indifference of their fellow, Christian and expectativy so do not expect to see crying, dying or lying for thee. How he gonna expect to be loved for someone (jesus) that insite the love and sacrifice?.
I say what I think it is and what I think is just an interpretation that does not require knowing a little explored but did not urge kurt mix my feelings with him. what I think about the letter is very aside what that can mean.
or | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/15/09
im not saying taht he meant it like this, bu you could also read it different: liike jesus being a representitive of GOD, GOD made him this way, (not being a sunbeam, a giving and loving unit) and he's not singing to jesus but to woman. for me that's explains the cry, lie and die in a total new concept.
and maybe he meant both, he didnt write it anyway. Im no cristian, I never was, but I have started believing in God. For me the bible is useless when it gets literally interprented, just like this song. Even if Kurt Cobain doenst respect God, nor jesus. (what he probably does:P) does it really matter for you? Isnt it his pain? And is time to talk him outof this pain already oveR? why bother?!
happy lives all:)
Get over it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/2/09
Don't slate people who have religion, don't slate those who don't. Show some respect for each other and realise everyone is entitled to their own belief. You can't call the bible 'fake' stories because Jesus did actually exist and even if those events didn't occur the stories can act like fables. You can't prove whether it happened or not. And just remember, it is only a song.

It doesnt matter why kurt cobain played this song or what it means to him or the Vasselines. If it means something to you or is relevant to your life.
Personally As a christian, i cant relate to this song or find any meaning it. Therefore it stays on the cd and not on my ipod. However i dont feel i have to brand nirvana as evil and go burn all their records.
Also kurt was not God. This is a pretty embaressing and childish statement. Even if i wasnt a christian i would find that insulting and having been depressed etc myself, i think kurt would be repulsed.
Sweet anyway im off to do press ups eat steak and tune my guitar to drop D. EVERLONG
my god is kurt cobain, Nirvanas my drug, and Grunge is my religion. Ok 1st everything in the bible is fake. Religion is just there 4 ppl 2 have an answer to things they dont believe. i use 2 believe in god and religion but now i just find it hard 2 believe. John is stupid 4 throwing away his Nirvana cds just because it talks about his precious imaginary god
