Day 727 - Day 362

“What else should I be? All apologies…”

All Apologies: Nirvana, In Utero

 

When I first heard this song… it struck me. I can’t really describe it or how I felt it, but I felt like Kurt was saying “Goodbye” in this song. I don’t really know that I can interpret the lyrics in full and be right on… and maybe it’s simply a song that he wrote while on some drug trip… but I think he was smarter than that.

 

He was a hurt soul… lost and yet he was found. I can’t say that I would rank him up with the greats who died early like Stevie Ray Vaughan or Jimi Hendrix, but he died too young, and even before he took his life I always referred to this as his “goodbye song”… sadly I was right.

 

*** Artist Notes ***

The many apologies I owe people in the universe are countless, though I have made amends for more than my fair share…

 

Lyrics:

What else should I be?

All apologies.

What else could I say?

Everyone is gay.

What else could I write?

I don't have the right.

What else should I be?

All Apologies.

 

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

Married!

Buried!

 

I wish I was like you

Easily amused

Find my nest of salt

Everything is my fault

I'll take all the blame

aqua seafoam shame

Sunburn with freezer burn

Choking on the ashes of her enemy

 

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

Married, Married, Married!

Buried!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

 

All in all is all we are

All in all is all we are

All in all is all we are

All in all is all we are
