dear kurt,
you spoke to me when no one else did. you are my love, my life,
and my unknown friend. i love you more than myself.
at times i get so lonily and i get a thought of death.
only because i cant have what you did.
your daughter was lucky and i often wonder what she thinks.
your wife, the bitch, you loved her more that yourself.
i have dreams of you at night. you come to me and tell be things.
i talk to you when no one is listening. i wish you were my angel.
it is not fair that you left, i want to kill anyone who speaks of you
in vain. i always think why did youdo it or did someone else do it.
ill never know the answers. you only do. i wish someone was there.
i wish you were here to see how everything has changed.
i see you in my room. i hear you in my mind. i believe that there is a
part of you alive in my heart. i respect the choices that you made in your
life. the drugs are yours now. i never turned my back on you when you
stuck it in your vein. maybe you ! only knew that heroin would help
the pain. i cry for you all of the time. no one around me understands
the way i feel for you. they all think im some freak who cant except
the fact that you are gone. but i dont care what they think.
no one or anything will change my ways of love and envy that i have for
you. i still cant believe that i will never see your face anymore or
hear a new song come from your mouth. we are alike in many ways.
hell i will get your name tattooed into my body when i can.
i guess this is an undying thing i have for you. but i dont care.
i cant see how i could not ever want anything of you or nirvana.
i know your gone and you will never know me or read this but i just
wanted you to know. i want to end my life in your name. only because i
love what you are and the man that you are.
i love you, kurt
i miss you, kurt

I think this site is extremly good i love the pics you have put in here
and the picture gallery with Kurts death certifercate and all that other
stuff is a very good idea because there are some peole who want to know
more about what happened that night but can't because the media will not
let them out. Kurts suicide note really touched me but you know i think
that Courtney killed him because she was jelious of him because he was so
big ans she was so little. And why wasn't she crying at his funeral?
I don't know if that is true but that is what i heard I strongly believe
that Kurt was murdered no matter what anyone else says he did not kill
himself!!!!! Once again i would like to say that this site kicks @$$!!!

Kurt Cobain was a man who had an understanding for the world that was not
shared by anyone else. He saw things in the dark light which is what made
him so raw and poetic. People around the world fed off of his music and
absorbed his words so closley because in a mysterious and unexplainable way,
they coined "life". What made Nirvana special was the fact that they went
their own way and gave the world an opportunity to know who they really
were. To some people, the truth may be too strong to handle, but Nirvana
has influenced the world in a way that no other band has and will continue
to survive in the hearts of their many adoring fans.
Ilyssa Siegel (IGS2984)
I think that Kurt Cobain was the greatest man to ever live.
He is the reason I am the way I am. He has inspired me to do what I
want not what other people want me to do. I believe he is still with all
of us and that he never died. To all of you who think he didn't care or
that he is a loser fuck you all because you don't know anything.
Thanks and long live my king.
Since last night I visited your page there was something that was bothering
me. Some strange voices in my head were teling me to write and to compose
something to the tribute of Kurt. I couldn't help it. The moonlight was
shining on my keyboard. Silverchair music had been playing quietly.
I've slowly raised my head towards the window. Millions of thoughts
came to my mind at once. "Why had he done that!", I asked my self.
"Or, maybe someone else did it.". The only person I could think of now was
Courtney. I quickly shaked my head and I started to write.
I've writen a poem that night, and here it is.
Tears of Life.
I'm feeling down, I can feel the blade on my arm.
I'm feeling down, I can feel the pain going away.
"The" life is passing, with sound of grunge.
The vital fluid of life is oozing from my left arm like waterfall.
Ah, the freedom is closer every second, every second of my pathetic
life.
I'm starting to regret what I have done.
I scream, but nobody hears my voice.
I see my whole disappointed life passing through my red blooded eyes
like a film:
When "dad" was betraying my mother with a prostitute on a "business"
trip, when I force drugs into my bloodstream with friends.
I have no pride in myself.
My eyes are so heavy.
I can see my loving mum running with tears to me, and ... evil blackness.
I guess the owner of this page is gona put this comment strait into the
recycle bin, but there is hope. If you like this poem you can send
an e-mail to my friend Joel, cause mine is stuffed. Here is the address:

Nirvana helped change my life. Kurt's death was a wake up call
for me. Life is short for our generation. I do believe that it
is better to burn out than to fade away also. The essence of Kurt
was life rather than his tragic fate. Frances Bean is the one
who will endure the most pain. My boyfriend grew up without
a father too. Frances and Courtney will always remain in my
prayers and Kurt in my heart.
As for Kurt he is greatly missed and willnever be forgotten.

My name is Jolene Gilbert and i absoulutely love this page.
it makes me feel so good to see how much Kurt was cared about.
the creators did a great job. Kurt was a special person even though
i did not know him personally. I cried when he died and i cried when
i read some of the stuff on this page. But it helps to cry sometimes.
Anyway i am rambling and i feel stupid. thanx again.
Kurt Cobain is the greatest musician that ever played, today I saw a
tribute to him on MTV and it made me think for all the musicians that play
today each have learned something or copied it from him he truly changed
the way we play and listen to music each song written by him says something
special and if you listen you wont understand
but if you hear then you know just what I am saying.
He changed from being a grunge icon to being a memory but yet each time I
hear POLLY or MOLLY'S LIPS it makes me pissed off that the two rappers
get this much hype over dying and all he got was a "sorry you killed your
self" with Sweet 75 and the Foo Fighters the music legend lives on and
allways will.
IN MEMORY OF THE GREATEST MUSICIAN TO EVER PLAY FOR US...
To Kurt:
You took the oneway ticket
for the run-away train
but did you have to do it this way?
why did you do it this way?
I know you had troubles in your life
but who havent
did you have to do it this way?
why did you do it this way?
All the things that you did for me
yeah, for all of your fans
did you have to do this this way?
why did you do it this way?
Sure, you gave the signals
but we wasn't preparet
did you have to do it this way?
why did you leave us this way?
Sometimes I feel like
i am helpless without you
so, did you have to do it this way?
why did you leave me this way?
I'm sure you knows wath is best
but are you sure about this
did you have to do it this way?
why did you leave me this way?

THIS IS A GREAT PAGE!
I just wanna say that this page kicks ass.
I have a poem I would like for you people to read it's
called-Buddah's Simple-Minded Complainee.
I wrote it while listening to Nirvana (As usual!!)
I hope you people like it.I'm gonna write it now.
Buddah's Simple-Minded Complainee: Kurt J.Huffman
I sometimes try not to think outloud.
For I fear love and adoration from a crowd.
I really can't get enough.
My life's just too rough.
I feel a need to be numb.
I know that soon my time will come.
I just don't have anymore ambition.
Life to me will be put on remission.
It's gotten to the point where I can barely decide.
If I told you that NOW I'm having fun-I would've lied.
I want so much to live and stay.
But,It's better to burn out than to fade away.
My life's too erratic.
It's almost like a static.
I have lost my passion and desire.
Lives to me are all like a live wire.
My heart and soul are no longer wild.
I only want to regain the enthusiasm I felt as a child.
Soon I will no longer be a simple-minded complainee.
I know after I'm gone I'll be back to a better reality.
Life will no longer be embraced.
Soon my memory will be erased.
I shall see you at the alter,but you won't see me.
For now my life and soul are free.
I wrote this in memory of Kurt D.Cobain.I feel that we all know that he
is still with us even though he's not.We must keep his memory alive at
all costs. ~Kurt Jason Huffman~ NIRVANA 4EVER.
Nirvana was the first band I ever truly fell in love with, and when Kurt
took his life I was devestated. Thanks to sites like these,
we can all keep him in our hearts. A lot of people think he was just a
junkie, but we all know he was so much more.... I wanna thank the owner
of the site for getting me more in touch with Kurt's memory than I've ever
been before.
Sometimes I get crazy because Cobain was my hero and sometimes it is
so good to be like him. I live so high thanks to him. I have seen
many of his shows on video, and he knew how to do a fuckin show. When I
listen to Nirvana I get so high. I have done many crazy things in my
life because of his influence. For many people Kurt Cobain is dead but
for me he is immortalized in his music and in his attitudes. I can´t
say what I want on English so I will say in may langage, in Portuguese:
O kurt era muito inteligente e conseguiu achar bandas muito doidas e
desconhecidas como: Melvins, Black Flag, Sonic Youht e etc. Ele teve
a manha de reunir tudo, e tirar o melhor que tinha em cada banda,
e colocar na banda hoje conhecida como NIRVANA, além disso o Nirvana
foi feito com as idéias e atitudes incriveis do Kurt.
Wounded Bear has bled across this web site and after a certain amount of
glaring and swearing i found piles of ancient whispers creeping across
the vast plains of eternity! Listening with my deaf f u c k i n g ears
i heard the echoing sounds of the danmed and with thoughts of yesterday
i greeted them as if they were my own! Kurt Cobain led us all down to the
sacred grunge pit, so let us fall down upon our fasting souls and lick
with dry tongues the flaming images which greet us there, thank you Kurt,
thank you again and again...Sincerely, Wounded Bear '98
A Tribute to Kurt Cobain
When Kurt died,
he left behind,
beautiful music and art.
Those who loved him,
and fans who knew him,
will keep him in their hearts.
He will never be forgotten,
but will always be missed,
some will cry,
others will try,
to make the world like him.
Some will always love him,
but others will be mad,
for what he did to kill himself,
made the world feel sad.
Life will go on,
but memories will stay,
it is so very sad,
that he's not here today.
By: Melissa Wagner, Tavistock ON
A Star Is Born
He was born
He was stoned
He was high
She got phoned
Kurt is dead
He overdosed
Shes in shock
Shes alone
With a child
She will bare
In her mind
Did he care?
He did care
But it's unfair
Kurts gone to burn
And won't return.
By Robyn Graham, Australia
A rose on a pedistool
His majesty is there
Nirvana will still rule
Remember how we care, Kurt;
And, we still beleive, you always will be cool
So Come As You Are,
or as you want to be
On the left hand of God,
For all of us to see.
The sadness ?
Kurtie was a saint in my thoughts and so was Courtney and little
Frances Bean. Krist and Dave was the brave young men who also had a
very big part in kurts life and the legend of the most beautiful ever
-NIRVANA!!!!!!!!!
I love listen to them and
looking forward both
sad and happy to kurts
birthday the 20nd of Feburary.. Im gonna light a candle at the
window that night and
remember the saint and
the sadness he had in his life. I hope everyone
else will do the same as
me ..
NIRVANA mains to be
seen as the worlds
biggest and most beautifull legend
forever !!!!
Love from a very big fan of Kurt and Nirvana
Thanx to all who loves Kurt, Courtney, Frances 'Bean , Dave and Krist!!
I love You All !!!!!!!!!!!!
INFC tribute
Why couldn't yu leave him alone
you picked at him, clean, right to the bone
he did nothing but express his view
you god mad, you knew it was true
he helped us see that little light
he helped us get through "just one more night"
we could face the world you had produced
we found joy being drawn in and reclused
you gave us shrinks to fix our sad thoughts
we tried to be happy, but I guess we forgot
you were the kids, the misunderstood
boomers, yeah, you left that mark, good
who hgave you the right to judge our lives
you care now, after ignored cries
you killed the person who helped us see
he wasn't the leader you wanted him to be
you thought make him do it, theyll all fall down
he was just one kid from one small town
there'll be another one, to help lead the way
you know that he's coming, dread the day!
you cannot keep us down much longer
our anger just grows stronger and stronger
you say that we will just self destruct
no, you won't have that kind of luck
well be back and bask in the night
well play in the streets, it'll be alright
"can we show our faces now?"
(last line by K. Cobain)
I really like what you've done with this site.
It's incredible how one person can have such a great looking web
site and be so devoted to it! I myself am a web site designer,
( also a huge Nirvana fan ) and I commend you both on your web site design
and also your Nirvana stuff. I think you really deserve those awards.
TOTAL NIRVANA!
I don't rember the words I said
the day they told me he was dead
he changed the way that we all play
fuck it, i dont know what else to say
love is gained and love is lost
we'll give it all no matter what the cost
he taught us all to be ourselves again
and not to sell out, my friend.
fuck it fuck it fuck it
each time i think oh nevermind
So you're dead
I didn't know you
but I miss you
so there
I talk to you
like you're there
I look at you
like you're there
I listen to you like you're there
but you're not
maybe you are
there in front of me
where I want you to be
maybe you see me
maybe i'll see you
soon
maybe we'll meet
once
and i'll never leave
why do we cry?....why do we care?.... did he care?
did he think about us when he pulled that trigger?.....
did he cry for us?....no he didnt....but still..we love him so.....
we care for him so....we cry for him so... i guess that just shows how much
he means to us....We Love You Kurt.....
He's so so very healthy
He dreams that he's wealthy
He's so so very happy
He's not he's not to patient
He's not the slightest amused
He wishes he was imuned
Please him he's really starving
Kill him he's really worth it
Rape him he's way to healthy
Love him he really wants it
(I hope you like the poem
personally I think it gives the
whole true felling of how
we feel hope you liked it)
kurt cobain
some think that he went insane
he thought he had nothing to gain
hes not the one to blame the words he sang were filled with truth
then his life went poof
his life didnt last long
just like a lease
kurt may you rest in peace

Nirvana is the best band i have ever listented to.
i never get sick of listening to them and thats been awhile.
the music has a lot of feeling and it always does something to me that
other music doesn't. i wish kurt wasn't gone. he was awesome.
yesterday was his 31st birthday. happy birthday kurt!
i cant wait until i go to heaven
(if i go, if there is one, and if kurt's there) and meet him.
but he has to be there because it wouldn't be heaven without him.
it supposed to be everything you want, isn't it?
i wish he could have just stayed and quit the music business.
it'd make me happier but he must have thought about that,
staying, but i guess its not what he wanted. oh well...
you must think im retarded and i have nothing else to do so im gonna
find something to do. NIRVANA 4-EVA
No one will know except you Kurt
how i felt when i heard the news
and how mich it hurt.
So how did it happen?
Hope your suffering was small
tell me every detail for i've got to know it all.
They said it was a gunshot a wound to the head
but 2 of us know the real truth that one of us is dead.
Yes I call it murder I don't care what they say
It would be truth rock or death of famous gay.
Did you think you were a failure
did you think you weren't the best
but now your under a cold white sheet
and you've now been laid to rest
So what else can I say when the god of grunge departs
We love you Kurt We miss you Kurt
You'll live on in our hearts.
I have read many theroies about how Kurt Cobain
was murdered and why. You made a comment on how you don't belive
he was murdered. I am not sure if he was or not, I don't think anyone can
say. What I do konw is Kurt Cobain was a great man that had graet talent.
I think that the reason most people say he was murdered
Is they want to beleve it. They can't beleve that this man
with so much talent and so much to live for would kill himself.
It's almost like there denying the fact that hes dead.
What do you think? Please e-mail me at moondancer_forever@yahoo.com
Boatakk, Abort Christ,God is gay. Sound familiar?
It should for most true Nirvana fans. Unfortunately most diehard "fans"
look at me like I'm crazy when I ask them. I'm sick and tired of all these
people who jumped on the bandwagon of Nirvana's popularity and the event of
Kurt's death. I know he would have hated shit like that just like it made
him sick to look out at the audience and see all those people he wrote
songs about out there cheering him on bacause it was chic and not because
they truely loved or understood his message. Enough bitching.
Love the site, keep it up.
(by the way, if you're wondering where those phrases came from, read
"Come as you are" by Michael Azzerad I believe).
Until later, well, whatever, nevermind.
In Memory of a Legend
what if can never write
what if I was never wrong
what if could never sing
what if I could die in song
what if I was just a legend
what if I could never feel
what if I could be so hollow
what if I could die for real
Nirvana is like a religion to me, all their songs, all their music.
I love Nirvana as much as I ever did. I've listened to each song at
least a thousand times. No band or singer-song writter even comes close
in terms of talent to Kurt Cobain. Me and my Girlfriend (for nearly 2 years)
both listen to Nirvana daily, we are obsessed. I have no doubt that Kurt
aided Courtney in all of her songs, she can't do anything right,
except murder, it was a good cover-up. Two Artists have made an impression
on me, Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain, both are dead, both were from Seattle,
I am from Seattle.
PEACE LOVE EMPATHY.....
Dried in cement a man with wings
Played on our sympathy
Emotions breeed for our needs
Concerns only mess up our needs
Vague image in my head
People are better off dead
Thrilled for thee felling I have lost
I thank god for this loss
For a brief moment I have forgot
Can't black out disturbing thoughts
Standing still staring in deep thought
looking down on lives that have been spent
(Hope you like my poem I think it really emphisizes they way we think.)
This poem (as you can tell by the title)
is about Kurt. I'd just like to say that
he is the biggest ifluence in rock music
in the 90's and in my own composin (attempts) as well.
Kurt...
Don't listen to the voices in your head,
The stinkin' comments about how it ended,
It's not over...not yet...not now...or ever
It doesn't have to be,
Not just because he's dead...
His letter talked about not fading away,
but burning out,
Well his wish hasn't been granted,
Fading away he is now...
His fate was sealed from the start,
Now he's dead
But not in MY HEART.
kurt
the day i was born
was the day u born, u burn
blasted the light of day
blasted your unborn days,unburned days
rejoicing while in mourn
as u burn, they born
over your cairn of stone
weltschemerz
He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.
So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.
No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.
So loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.
Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you fuckin lie.
Don't you step out of line.
Don't you fuckin lie.
You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?
You had alot to say.
You had alot of nothing to say.
Come down.
Get off your fuckin cross.
We need the fuckin space to nail the next fool martyr.
To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies. [sic]
Goodbye...
this song is about kurt in my own words
(bear with me I;m making them up as I go along)
Pain is a beautiful thing cause it makes you feel
Pay our tributes for our painful costs
Help me stand for I can't walk
Elidgable painful thought
Emotions breed for our needs
Dried in cement a man with wings
Played on our sympathy Steady with a mouth full of nails
Block out unpatient thoughts
Competent painful loss
Pay our own story teller
Pose for all our blissful needs

NIRVANA totally changed the face of music,
and how I look at it. Kurt's life, is one
that will be a legend and I will never
forget what his music was and is about.
The way that he lived his life the way
that he wanted to live, is one that only
so few could do. If only he were still
here to let all the generations to come
know what a great man he wad and the
music he made live with them. I will
never forget the way that his music
has made me change the way that I look
at my life and the way that everyone
has a well.
Kurt is now dead
It's hard on my head
I wish it wasn't true
cause now my life is screwed
Nirvana lives on
It will never be gone
Good-bye Kurt
Your fans are hurt
But "What else can I say, everyone is gay"
-Nirvana fan
He touched millons of people, changed millons of lifes,
this one man with bad hair, unshaved face, and a drug problem...
who knows how, or mabey why, like Kurt said himself " When i was a alien "
hay, maybe Kurt was a alien.....We will all miss the late, but great
Kurt Cobain, along with Nirvana..R.I.P
Nirvana is my life.
Nirvana is dead.
My life is.....!?
I don't know.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows my life.
Nobody knows me.
I know something.
I'm not like them.
And it's so fucking hard to pretend.
Life is hard.
Especially when U pretending all the time.
I do.
That's the reason why nobody knows me.
I'm a fucking lier.
I don't hate myself.
I hate everybody else.
Or maybe I just love everybody too much.
I love them and I hate them.
Is that possible?
Don't know.
I don't love Kurt.
I just love to love him.
I can't love a person I don't know.
I've never meet Kurt.
I never will.
I getting crazy.
Maybe I already am.
Does all this make sense? I don't know! I don't want to read it.
I know one thing. Nirvana is my reason to live. And my reason to die.
I want to live.

For all you people who think the age of Nirvana was just about grunge rock
and head bangin', you're a buncha poseurs. You hear 1 hit and immediately
become a fan? understand what the music stood for? i dont think so...Kurts
songs were about the pain and hatred he was feeling, his RAW emotion.
Not about heavy bass and guitar...if you "love" nirvana, you love the
spirituallity of what the music stood for and how Kurt saw the world through
his eyes. This music is obviously from a man who was feeling huge pain and
expressed it. he hated his fans because he believed they just liked a
good tune, not that they really listened for the other side of what his
music stood for.. Another thing..reading through your comments, ya,
some of them rule, but some of you say, I hate Courtney and she killed him,
she got him to OD, blah blah blah...HOW DO YOU KNOW? you sit here and make
false accusations just cuz you read 1 article, or his "suicide" note....
COME ON! can you just imagine what he had to be going through?
you people need to let their music live on, not try to find out how he died.
Im glad to read that im not the only one going through emmense depression
though. I hope you all can let nirvana live on! we lost the greatest man
on April 5th, 1994...that day put many of us in mourn for eternity..
i dont think there is a cure..just love kurt, what he stood for, and who he
was..I will always love you kurt..why do the best always go first?
theres only soo much a person can take before something has to give...
NIRVANA FOREVER.." its better to burn out, than to fade away"
ill see you at my altar kurt
--H.Shaw
..mY oWN..
it was so beautiful she breaks into a million pieces
my heart into so many pieces
and everything before my eyes
always though the day she would break
i would go with her
and maybe to a place where she was unbreakable,
so much easier then
when i come
she says to me
you are my own and i am yours
so take my limbs and place me together
today
i am your heart, and dolly,
you and i always forever...

The life of Kurt Cobain was a life in with no other person could have lived.
Kurt was a man who was puzzled yet certain. He loved and he hated,
he smiled and he frowned in disgust. He lived and he died.
His life is the legacy of Kurt Cobain which will live forever.
Death of a rocker By mary pierceall
death of a rocker
there was but one,
kurt cobain himself
took his life with a
shot gun.
death of a rocker who was
comatose, died shortly after a drug
overdose,but in out minds he is
still the lead singer of sublime
death of a rocker whos life
was at will, elvis was a strong man
but killed by a little pill.
death of this rocker who had a master
plan, to dominate the world
as fast as i can.
To end the corrupt, to end the
pain
To end life for all those who
live in vain.
This was my plan but now i'am
dead
remember kids... its all in
your head.
when boredom grips you
and sadness flows through
your veins it must end.
When you play your fears
repeatedly in front of
a crowd of fans you see only
that which is negative.
And before long
you are eaten by pain and
self hatred and the winds
of dispair engulf you.
Music the light of your life
means nothing anymore
You raise the gun...
...and end it.
RIP-Kurt Cobain
KURT U WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
BECOUSE WE ALL LOVE U.

Loss of a Hero
BANG!
silence
the birds are gone
Wind does not blow
And it rains
The only sound is the tip tap of the rain on the roof
The world has lost something
It has losta great,troubled soul
The one that shone a light
The one that let us feel
One who was not fake
The kind you see once in a lifetime if your lucky
No one truely knows what we lost when he left
He left a peice of him with all of us
Which left him empty in the end
He knew his fate
He predictied it himself
But we wish we hadn't lost him that way
What we lost was a hero
An everyday hero
That brought us joy and sorrow
A light at the end of the tunnel
Written in loving memory of Kurt D. Cobain
I love Kurt Cobain.
I'm from Austria and I' listening to Kurt's music for two years.
And I'm alwyas estonished about his great songs. I know all his CD's
which you get in the shops. My favorite songs are "Polly"
"Smells like teen spirit" "Lithium" "Where did you sleep last night"
and "Somthing in the way".
I like Kurt's music.
(please excuse my misspells if there are some)
Dear Martin Gratzer
mgratzer@hotmail.com
I just want to let you know that your page is awesome.
Nirvana was and still is the best band in the whole world!
And Kurt was a big inspiration in my life. It's awesome that you,
too like Nirvana enough to make such a good page about them.
Keep up the good work!
i was instant messaging with krist novoselic, and he told me the
truth about the song "old age". kurt really was the one who wrote
the song, but they (nirvana) felt the song was too
formulated and decided to trade with hole for "come as you are".
as soon as i feel like doing it, i'll e-mail you some quotes
for the whole story.
Did you know that Kurt Cobain was killed by Courtney Love or somebody
she hired? It is true. just about everybody has heard this theory and
thought "No, Kurt Cobain was an idiot that killed himself."
Well it isn't true!!!!!! Go to this website and find out why!!
http://www.expage.com/page/xrthsfh/
Wou will believe me now!! You know what? I hadn't even heard of
Nirvana when Kurt died because I am only 12. I am glad though.
I probably would have gone into depression or killed myself.
If you are a true Nirvana fan, you know it. If you are a true Nirvana fan
you don't believe that the late and great Kurt Donald Cobain would kill
himself. PLEASE come to my website to see why Kurt's death is being
re-investigated. Kurt was murdered, and that's a fact. I hope that Kurt
Cobain and Nirvana will live on forever. With this website great website,
I think that there is a good chance that they will.
A true fan,
Aaron
Nirvana and Kurt are just misunderstood. So many parents try to censor
Nirvana from their kids. They have probably never even listened to thier
songs. Why don't people look at the facts before they speak. Some people
will just never realize just how big an impact Nirvana had on the music
industry. w/o Nirvana we could have never have heard "Teen Spirit" or any
other breakthrough songs. W/o Nirvana we might not have alternitive music
as we know it. Everyone has problems, he just chose the wrong way out of it,
everyone makes mistakes, we have to learn to accept them. Propaganda01
I don't know what to say. Amongst all of the needless pain and suffering
and confusion somtimes selfinflicted, sometimes not, which is beyond the
point, Nirvana is the greatest most phenomenal thing I have ever
seen/heard/felt. All of my life there have been too many feelings left
unsaid because I don't have to capacity to express them, but Kurt could say
it all with just a few simple phrases and a Kickass riff to back it up.
I may sound like thousands of other distraugt Nirvana fans, and this may
sound selfish, but I truely believe that Kurt Cobian was and is my soul
mate. I could never love or even be as close to any other person than I
am to him even after his death. I know that sounds pathetic and I do have
a life, but its just that he means so much to me. Some of my friends think
I'm a phsyco for that, but I don't care. I'm ashamed to admit that
I hardly even knew Nirvana existed when they got really big which is
understandabe cause I was only nine, If i had the resources though I know
I would have loved them than. When I was eleven I had my first introduction
to them when I saw the heartshaped box video at an uncles
(I didn't have MTV then) I remember being mesmerized.
I than really got into them in the eighth grade
(which was three years after his death) and I've never stopped loving them.
Anyway, I hate all those trendseeking, poseur hipster wannabe jerkoffs
who try so hard to be alternative and whatnot. Let me give you a hint.
You either get it or you don't! And if you don't get it, you can't fake it.
Theres so much more I wanna say but I can't cause I gotta go now.
Bye!!!!!!!!! Kurt rules!!!!!!!!Keep the spiret alive!!!!!!!!!!
I love you all!!!!
Kurt Cobain was one of the greatest musical artist ever known.
His voice reached all of our young confused adolecent hearts.
Kurt took all his pain and anguish, put it into music and made it beutiful.
I won't ever forgive him for killing himself
(I don't believe any of those rumors about a murder).
But for all of the pain he went through everyday almost makes you wonder
how he could go on living. I hope that Francis will be able to appreciate
what an extremly wonderful person and talented artist he was.
Thank you Jannell Summers IN
Kurt Cobain was great,
what ever other people say.For once their was a singer with lots of
talent and he took away his own life ,why?
That is THE question
without an answer,
Why did you pull that trigger over?
Why didn't you just quit
music if you hated it so much?
I know your somewhere because a person like you,KURT can't be just gone
into nowhere
I think you live in the harts of your fans,
in the hart of your doughter and
in the hart of Courteney,
anyway,wherever you are now I hope your happy overthere!!!!!
I LOVE YOU, KURT COBAIN!!
kisses
E.K.C.T.
I have a hard rock grunge band and recently i have written a song
which i have named "ode to nirvana". i goes like this:
Kurt...we miss you now you're gone / We all love you still our sun /
Chris...you're still here but where are you? / without you and kurt it's
like there's none / Dave...you know we know it still hurts /
you cover it up and try have fun / You started earth's lifeline /
and paid the ultimate price / Nevermind...it can't happen twice /
"smells like teen spirit" / was the song of the year /
One day it'll reappear / So many of us still shed a tear /
Was the breakdown of Nirvana / A new grunge tradition? /
I hope not coz we / Don't need a repetition / An anthem of life /
The spirit of death / You'll live on forever / Coz Nirvana are best.
Like it? If you put it onto the 'net i just want to say that no-one can
copy it because we are going to be recording it late next year.
If you do copy it could you at least give some credits to 'AmpleFrugal'
(the band) and Erin Stark and Dana O'Neill for the lyrics?
Thanx
Luv ya from Erin Stark
P.S- Nirvana kick ass and so do the 'chair and Marilyn Manson
kurt was a musical genious
he may have not been liked
by all but the ones who did
like him loved him and will
never forget his music and
talent otherwise.
-MARK-
ok- i read alot of the stuff
people wrote and they were
all great- but you gotta think-
kurt did not kill himself- it
was that druggy of a wife-it
was courtney who murdered him.
plain and simple. for all of you
who think kurt could pull the
trigger and end his life- well-
i dont believe that he could do
such a thing. it was courtney- all
she wanted was to use kurt to gain
fame- then got sick of him and killed
him to end a not so good life. his
life might not have been the best- but
kurt and nirvana were moving up in life.
R.I.P kurt- ill always member you
your music and yourself live on!!!!
-nirvanete9
You have the best nirvana site ever. Nirvana is the best band ever,
and will be that way forever. Nirvana's music has changed my ideas on
everything. and has changed my interested in music. i used to love rap,
now i see there is no point to it. just alot of words that ryme that don't
make any sense. nirvana music is a music that you can feel not just hear.
thank you,
and keep up the great work.
fUhGaWz
We loved, and will miss Kurt. And we can still fill the hurt.
He gave us some awesome music, so we can use it, to find out
what is inside. Adn his ghost will always be by our side.
Peace,Love,Empathy

A LIFE
this poem is dedicated to the memory of kurt cobain
a life full of pain and unawareness, is a life touched by the words.
a life once happy but torwn aprt, is a life that trys to undrestand.
a life that didn't offer answers, is a life that new someone was there.
a life that wrote such songs, is a life that will forever humm the tune.
a man granted but half a life, is a life lost to soon

i don't think kurt killed himself, but he was a great guy that has helped
me out alot through his music and i will always love him and all the
people that helped him out in his dream. keep rockin kurt, we all miss u,
if any fans wanna write to me write to jdc6669@aol.com
Some people will sit watching the news ignorantly and say,
"what a stupid kid. Those drugs fucked him up. He's a wierdo.
Never be like him, girl." They say that because they are ignorant
themselves. They don't, nor will they ever understand how genius one
must be in order to understand the consequences and trials of being an
intelligent person living in world where their elders despise them.
And think of them as nothing more than useless punks. Kurt tried so hard to
prove those ignorant freaks wrong. I guess he figured if they won't listen,
there's no point for me to be here. I agree.
I enjoy nirvana to the fullest.
I am often made fun of or told they were just junkies .
Why do people only think about the bad part or a mistake that kurt made
alot of people make mistakes he led a good life . Hos life wasn't easy .
i'm writing this out of anger and frustration so to go with the mood i'll
listen to Negetave creep . oh yeah music sucks right now especially creed
and crap like that and the foo fighters have gotten prett crapy we need
a new NIRVANA or maybe just ............
Sure, everyone says that
Kurt was a genius and I do
believe that they are right.
I also feel, however, that
the rest of the band should
get their credit. Nirvana
was a excellent BAND.
Rest in peace Kurt!!
Carry on with the good work
Dave, I love Foo Fighters.
Kris, I haven't heard much
about, but what I have
heard was cool. Keep truckin'.
-rusty
i hate it when people are like "oh, yeah, i love nirvana" when they dont
even understand the music.you have to be able to relate with kurt in order
to relate with the music.these people live with their heads in the clouds
and up everybody elses butts.they have to get a reality check.i wish they
wouldnt lie like that, saying that nirvana kick if they dont really feel
that way.please dont say you like them if its untrue.stop trying to impress
others.its not worth lying to yourself like that.sorry if anyone disagrees
with me, but its just how i (strongly) feel. see you.
Lost in an angry storm,
Made him burn out,
Creative forse couldnt hold on,
Memories are only on the surface,
The legacy,
The Talent,
Th real person,
Who was left to Die,
WHo was killed by his own will.
People don't realise what affection us
Nrvana fans have for Kurt Cobain, and I'd just like to
say "for all you people out their mocking us because we mourn
over Kurt Cobain, you must be heartless not to realise what affect
his death had on us.
Luke Roberts, Aged 13
Kurt was an amazing song writer, who will never be forgotten.
When i heard that Kurt Cobain was dead, i took my dad's gun and put it to
my head content on blowing my brains out
But then i thought about all the people who hated Kurt for going,
it would be the same for me. So i stayed in my room, and sat there for
days. Kurt came to me and said," I want you to be happy. Don't do it unless
you have to." So in honor of Kurt, lets remember Kurt for who he was,
and he did for music, not for commiting suicide, or doing drugs.
And remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
PeACe, LovE, EmpAtHy, Travis HAll
You know some people think Nirvana doesn't exist anymore.
They only released 4 cd`s but it was so good and true.
I get this feeling listening(sorry) to their music, and I feel sad only
knowing Nirvana from `95. I missed it, and now I want to talk to him see
him it would make me so happy, oh I feel so sad. Every day a different
song fits in with what`s up at the moment, he lived all of our lives and
he could`nt anymore, maybe he was really killed maybe not it does`nt really
matter, his music lives on and that`s why I bought a guitar,
I`m just playing their tabs. I want to write a lot more but ...

Good Bye Kiss
This sorrow hid behind my eyes you will never see, the pain hidden in my
heart you will never know.
I hold my life in my hands, I'm afraid I'm letting go.
The struggles of life make me weary.
The tears sting my frightened eyes and make them dreary.
I'm scared and all alone.
My life no longer smells of sweet perfume, but of bitter cologne.
As I hold a knife to my wrist, I realize that life
has a fatal good bye kiss.
-Megan Fix In memory of Kurt D.Cobain.
"Kurt" By Neil
Kurt could sing, he could play gitar
but he had a flaw.
Drugs took control of his life, they pushed him way too far.
So far that he put a fuckin' bullet in his head.
On April 8th they found him.
Already three days dead.
Kurt Cobain, we all luv u.
We wish that u were here.
Your life had touched so many.
Your death gave me a tear.
I like the way you seem to actually devoted this page to the greatness
that is Nirvana. So often all I hear and see is shit about Kurt Cobain,
while Krist novoselic and Dave Grohl are to seemingly be the two who
just were permitted to join the ride. i'm offering no disrespect and
in no way trying to take any credit away from Cobain, but they were the
gods of music not just him. Novoselic and Grohl are two of the best at
what they do, and I personally believe Dave Grohl is the greatest drummer
ever to cross this earth. Plus if you do put this up, which i doubt you
will, I want to say to all the tennie-bops who thought Nirvana was
"cool" because MTV said they were or to all the macho 80's metal fucks
who just thought they "rocked" to piss off and give the rest of us what
little we have in this world. Although most people can't realize it,
we can't find too much in Kurt's lyrics. If you've read up, most of
his music was just bits and peices of poetry that only made sense to him,
if even that. Almost all of the rest was written about something he read
abot or saw on TV. But we still have the music that allowed us to vent,
feel, and know we're alive. We still know the man. He's us.
He never wanted to be the unknowable myth. He never asked to be the
unapproachable enigma. He just wanted to be an make some beautiful music
along the way. Another thing to all of the people who condone his suicide
...FUCK YOU! He quit on us. As much as it may piss you off to hear he quit
on us. Eddie Vedder, as much as hate him, said it best,
"the best revenge is living." So to anyone who may read this
(in any form) I have something. As I said Fuck You posers who only hear
distorted music that your parents wouldn't approve of.
To those who are true fans live the music, love the music,
it's usually all we have. To Dave Grohl, you are a god.
And to Kurt Cobain, thank you for the hope and FUCK YOU!
I´m writing on 5 April 1998.The day of Legendary Kurt Cobain's suicide.
Nirvana was a great band.They were unique. Sometimes I wish that they
hadn't stop playing. My greatest wish was to se them live...
Now when Kurt is dead I wish he is happy in heaven, I'm sure he got there,
because we all do. Rest in peace Kurt, now and forever...
At last I will thank NIRVANA for the great music they played and I wish
Chris and David much success in their future carreers !!!
Thank's also for a great NIRVANA site !!
Johannna, Finland.
The Date today as I write this is April 5th 1998, the day when four years
ago a man who was one of the greatest inspirations to myself and many
others around the world, passed from this life to the next.
I write this in tribute to the life and memory of Kurt Cobain and the
work he, Krist and Dave left for us to enjoy.
I'm not sure if Kurt even realised the profound effect he and his music had
on his fans, having the ability to connect with us at such an emotional
level. It pains me when I sometimes try to contemplate the immense
depression and anxiety he must have endured to lead him to such a tragic
end. I'm sure many of those who visit these pages wished they could have
been there for Kurt to reach out to in his time of need and prevent
happening what is now part of our history. I know I do.
To me, Nirvana was the greatest band to have walked the face of this planet.
And so I ask you Kurt, wherever you are now, hold your head up high and
be proud of what you have achieved as you will always be remembered by
the many whose hearts you touched where your spirit now dwells.
You will always live forever.....Rest in peace.

even though we fall of the departure of kill of kurt 4 years ago,we still
remember him even though he and his music is dead now.he will be dead,but he
will always have a place to sleep in our heads.dave has moved on and now has a
band which he reaches fame in.chad tries his hardest as he works towards the
music which he wanted.krist still trys his best also to get what he
wanted.these people don't really much care for fame,but they still wish for
kurt back.may not only kurt,but the whole nirvana band itself live forever for
people who cared like me and you.i hope every one remembers this incredible
band and the impact they had to music....
signed, chad
Kurt was a person. Not a god, not a king, a person. But he
was the best damn person he could be. Growing up in a broken home,
bouncing from one couch to another, struggling to find some sort of
kindrid, an understanding, maybe, of life (thats what all of us are
looking for i guess)and turning out to create the best fucking band in
the world isn't something just any one can do. It takes someone who
wants it. Someone who beleives in it. Kurt, obviously, was that person.
For the past 5 years of my life I've been obsessed with fact that Kurt
was dead. It's just now that I'm realizing that Kurt being dead means
nothing unless you understand what an awesome person he was when he was
alive. His music spoke to kids everywhere in a way that no parents or
teachers seemed or seem to understand. It spoke to us as a whole and it
means something different to each of us individually. It breaks my heart
to see "fans" of Nirvana drift away. It seems to have been just a trend
to them. But to those who really get it, those who understand, those who
have the passion and love for the man and the music as they did from the
beginning won't ever forget ( at least I hope not) the happieness they
felt when they first heard Smells Like Teen Spirit, the empathy they
felt when they first heard Dumb, the freedom they felt when they first
heard Francise Farmer Will Have Her Revenge....., and the utter misery,
confusion and emptiness they felt when they heard Courtneys not so
empathetic voice stuttering the words of the suicide of a hometown hero.
He wasn't supposed to die (and Im not going to argue how because I know
Kurt's gonna look down and say "You don't know what the hell ur talking
about, you werent there") but he did. We still have the music. We still
have the passion. And Kurt's still making music...wherever he is. So
I'll go now. Just remember, he was a person, an absolutely amazing
person, and we'll never forget him. Rest in Peace, Kurt.....I miss you.
You burned out but you'll NEVER fade away.

There are certain people that come and go that we never forget. they touch our
lives and their footprints will never go away. engraved into our soul. kurt
was this for many. and there are others for the different souls we are. either
way, this person can bring us pain and happiness. share feelings and comfort
us. but it's a valley of saddiness once they leave. and you just can't help
but have that lump in your throat grow when thinking upon it. i've lived my
life. i've had clashes with death, but i'm left here still breathing in my own
pain. i'll always have respect for Kurt Cobain...he's just one of those guys
that you see and say to yourself "they know the life of pain. they're..." the
touch of them is great and profound....you just want to walk up and say "i
don't know you, but i love you. i love you for who you are." you know, i just
want to say thanks for keeping the memory of Kurt alive....he'll live on
inside of each and every one of you guys (fans)....

We love you because you hated us.
We love you because you saw us all for the fakes we were.
You never wanted to be famous.
You always said you didn't, but we made you be famous.
Its our fault you ended your life.
We pushed you to be something you weren't.
You weren't a god, but we have made you our god, our ideal and our idle when
all u wanted was to play your music.
All apologies for everything we did.
I know its to late now but we will always love you for the genius you are,
Kurt
Kelly
When I think of you I cry.
I know I never knew you, and now I never can
but in my own way I love you, Kurt.
You were everything I wish I could be you had the courage to rebel against all
the "norms" of society. You fought for 27 years to keep from being like them
but in the end it was a fight you lost and you chose the easy way out instead
of admitting defeat you left us, your disciples, to deal with this fucked up
world without you, our savior, now we are lost all we have left of you is your
music, in tough times in life I turn to your songs to help me through, you
have never let me down, I cannot forgive you, Kurt for what you did, 'cuz I
never knew you. but I don't blame you, at times I wish I had the courage to
end it all like you but I'm too weak I admire you for being able to make the
final decision, maybe one day I will be able to do it to.

RIP
Kurt D. Cobain
1967-1994
The truths of life are always found,
but often in death.
Someone to die, and someone to cry
in the death of someone so magical.
He died in love and took it with him.
Forever he is gone and so is his song.
Words of patience and words of guilt.
His music touched brains, but mostly hearts.
The fate of life results in death.
I love you and I treasure everything that you ever and for ever will
stand for. You were
a truly charismatic person with a lot of depth in your soul.
First of all I'm tired of hearing about all this Who killed kurt?, bullshit.
He's dead and there's nothing any of us can do about it. So everyone can
stop bitchin about how their idol was taken away from them. If you really
love his music shut your mouth and go listen to it. That's all we have,
that's all we ever had, in case you forgot that while you were busy,
proclamining,"nirvana rocks" to the whole god damn world.Just forget about
everything else, how cool you look in your brand new kurt shirt, how
intelligent and deep you sound when you explain nirvana songs to your friends
(which by the way you probably got word for word off some random site) and
all those posters off kurt with a false grin doing something you think looks
really cool with krist and Dave standing behind him, that you have hanging on
your wall and that you cry to every night saying,"Kurt please come back".
Forget it all just put in that Cd , turn it up, sit back and enjoy. If that's not
enough Nirvana to please your craving then your not a true Nirvana fan . So sorry
to break it to you.
Kurt-
I see your piercing blue eyes, and I look away they, they molest me.
They're cloudy and I can't quite grasp what it is that gets to me.
My head spins and I see flashes of your face in my room. I don't want
to look it feels so hypocritical, but I have them there just in case I
get the courage. I hear your voice lacking a candy coating, but I'm left
with a sweet after taste just the same. I look in the mirror and I see
the face of the majority screaming out against its peers, and it's smeared
with dirt and nothing can wash it clean. But yet out of desperation I try
and in doing so I only soil it further. There's orchids there, without a
meaning, they only relate to my own tragedies. There's pages of words with
your own personal touch, I had hoped to make them mine. There's videotape
ruined by salt, the result of all my misplaced pity. And all of it to build
myself up in your light. And I taste it, at least I think, but I can't
remember why. It all rings a bell, but it's silent
to me, and my head rings with confusion to compensate.

An Ode to Kurt Cobain
You never wanted what they gave you.
Fame was never appealing.
All you wanted was someone to listen,
To your songs, which had so much feeling.
You played your guitar,
As only a genius could,
Screaming from the inside,
You were so misunderstood.
You weren't ready for what awaited you,
When that infamous cd came out.
Headbanger's Ball, Unplugged,
You were what mtv was about.
Everywhere we went,
We could see your face.
Billboards, magazines, tee shirts,
To you, it was a disgrace.
Falling deeper into depression,
All the drugs sealed your fate,
The world wasn't ready
For what happened on that fateful date.
No one here really knows
What went on in your brain,
But trust me when i say,
"I love you Kurt Cobain!"
-Amber Schumaker (amberrose@voyager.net)
1999
INSOLUBLE
You hung but you rose
Reflected sun
Water became sky
uninvited guest
I watch at the sky
See someone staring
The emptiness around me
Filled up with tears
The difference in what I do
And what I am
Carrying the world
Should not have been up to you
- Ezekiel
serve the servants
serve them pennyroyal tea, then show the the heart shaped box
then theyll scream rape me!
but the one servent has a moist vagina
and theyll scream TALK TO ME!
then youll say, son of a gun!
and the youll kiss mollys lips
then theres this funky odor, and your partner says, hm, smells like teen
spirit while you both do lithium, and then a horny girl comes up and days, im gonna
drain you, then you say, ill spank thru And thats The End (kinda sappy, huh?)
The Story of Nirvana
Written by Me, one of Kurt Cobains Apprentices (he said i was scentless)
haha, did ya like that?
oh, the guilt of writing that story
but the story is endless, its also nameless, i dont know what to call it
- by David Moore.
I just wanted to say that although according to alot of 'real'
Nirvana fans I am just a teeny-bobber who only likes Nirvana because
my parents don't-because I am only 16-I think that everybody should
stop dictating to each other about 'true' Nirvana fans. I do actually
think that Courtney-bashers and 'I LOVE KURT' screamers may not actually
quite get it but this is their way of loving Nirvana and the music so what
right does anybody else have to tell them that Kurt didn't want this and
'thats not what he did it for' etc etc. At the end of the day him-along with
Krist and Dave (oh yeah there are 3 people in nirvana)- wrote and performed
fucking good music and whether they liked it or not people would like it and
enjoy listening to it, so just shut up with the whole image and 'real fan' crap
and be a fan and enjoy the fucking music.
- Claire
Kurt Cobain is my idol, I'm not ashamed or hesitant to admit that. He has
forever influenced me through his music in the same way he has so many other
people. I believe that we can keep his lasting impact on the world living
throughout other generations by simply listening to his music, and
introducing his genius to others. The more I listen to Nirvana's music,
the more it draws me in. Now I have become addicted, and will probably
never stop listening to it. I have tried to create a poem, and though it
doesn't rhyme, it shows mine, and maybe others, feelings on Nirvana's music
and Kurt Cobain.
"The more I learn, the more I understand the music.
The more I learn, the more I understand him.
As I see it, I have learned too much to turn back now.
Your fans will remember you forever, because you live on inside us.
Rest In Peace, Kurt Donald Cobain."
-Dan Shambro
I was on a plane looking for the man who sold the world but I
couldn't see him because there was something in the way. I found him.
He always wore deodorant that smells like teen spirit, but it wasn't.
He said "stay away from me, I'm sick!," so I did. Hours went on. He kept
saying To himself "Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam." I had no idea what
he was talking about. So the plane landed and we got off. It rained a lot
so I realized that the flowers I have planted were in bloom. Polly "my bird"
died a couple days ago. I remember that weird man gave me a heart shaped box.
Before I burried my dead bird I put one of her beautiful green feathers in
the box. I buried her in my garden right by my flowers. I wasn't feeling
so well. I sat down and made myself some pennyroyal tea. I started feeling
better the next day. My mother was on vacation this year, so I was home
alone. Today a woman came up to my door and asked: "where did you sleep last
night?" I said "in the junkyard." She turned around and left without saying
a thing. I thought that was pretty strange. I figured she was up to
something. Well I got a new bird named Marigold. She kept saying: "Polly
want a cracker?" -- that made me think of Polly a lot. I miss her. So then
I didn't want a bird anymore. And I didn't want a new one. So I sold my
new bird.
I figured that when my mom were gone nobody was stopping me from doing
anything, so I was free at last. I did miss my mom though. I was an only child.
So I was all alone. I listened to the radio and a new band developed called
"Nirvana" I started to listen to it. I really liked it. Years later I kept on
listening to it and realized that all the songs Kurt made up were all about parts
of my life! I didn't know if it was a coincidence or if he was telepathic
or something.
I was scared so much I thought I was dreaming at the moment.

Oh well, here we go for the Big Long Now, with the new
Hairspray Queen. Oh look. There's a Stain on Molly's
Lips. Are you The Man Who Sold The World? Polly
seems to think you are. Is that you? Something Smells Like
Teen Spirit, but, Come As You Are and I'll make All
Apologies. Where Did You Sleep Last Night? Was in a
Plateau, near a Lake of Fire? Oh, it was in a hotel. Okay
then, whilst in your hotel, did you do a Lounge Act? Did
you Breed? Please take some Lithium with your
Pennyroyal Tea, there's also some Big Cheese and some
Mexican Seafood Thank you for my birthday present. I'll

a Scentless Apprentice over there who's going to Serve
The Servants, Beeswax.
There was a Downer who was telling me About A Girl.
He'd got the Love Buzz. Apparently, she was In Bloom.
I'm going to the Middle East to be On A Plain. I'll make
sure everybody will Stay Away. There's Something In The
Way of my plans. Oh Me, I know what it is, David Geffen

The question at the moment is; is it possible that Frances
Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle?
Oh my God, you Son Of A Gun Are you Very Ape, a
Negative Creep or just Dumb?
I met a wiseman ... but it was a woman. She suggested that
my father was a Radio Friendly Unit Shifter.

Turnaround! Dive into the carpet. Or you could Sliver.
Have you ever Been a Son of Aero Zeppelin?
Err ... don't Scoff at what I'm saying. Now I'm going to
have to Drain You because you have been Unplugged In
New York and your sister is In Utero. It may be jealousy,
but oh well, Nevermind.
Kurt....
Rest in peace Kurt Donald Cobain
There'll never be someone just quite the same
You've left your talent and your pride
Even Courtney by your side
Your little daughter Frances Bean
Has just one partcular dream
Of seeing you alive again
As her dad Kurt Cobain
With all our love we still care
We think of you high up there
You weren't a night in shining armour
But you were the soul of Nirvana
-Kelli
*God Of Grunge*
I go and buy your records...
I walk with shirts advertising your name...
I read your poetry...
And try to understand your pain...
I feel so cheap...
And insignificant...
Your pleasure was your pain...
You brought us your voice...
We watched...
as your hope diminished...
In her..
In us..
But most importantly, yourself...
We were just onlookers to the pain...
You had nothing to gain...
The minute you picked up your first guitar, it was all downhill from there.
Now I hunt for your ashes...
And say your name...
I sing your songs...
And praise you...
You taught me everythingn..
At the expense of yourself.
You didnt want what you got...
You hated who you were...
You were nothing in the eyes of thousands...
You are something in the hearts of millions. . . . .

"Why Did You Go Away?"
I stare into your eyes
My knees ae getting weak

rolling down your cheeks

when you're precious life was stolen
Its OK to cry if it keeps all of us going
Why did you go away? (X8)

Kurt Cobain: The most dynamic lyricist of our time. A man who wrote about
real people, raw emotions and the stupid, insignificant predicaments we get
ourselves into. In many of his hypnotizing and influential songs, he tells
us about how humankind is trapped in this theory that we are victims of
circumstance. He also told us how much bullshit that was and that it was all
in our heads. He taught us to wake up and stop living in a dream world->
that life is not always perfect and shit will happen. He hated his fans for
adoring him and that's why we will forever adore him!! We will never forget
that tragic day of April 5, 1994 -I know I never will, I went to the rainy
vigil in Seattle!! LONG LIVE KURT
To Kurt: Forgive me, for I was limited to words in writing this. We all
love you and I know how much you hated that but we can't keep it in. You've
influenced us beyond what we can comprehend and that deserves praising, even
if you don't want to believe it. You taught me personally how to dream and
to forget all the losers who antagonize me and hold me back. I LOVE YOU,
KURT. NOW. FOREVER!!

Last night I had a dream that everyone's favorite rockstar Kurt Cobain of
NIRVANA was on The Daily Show with Craig Kilborn. Kurt had long blond hair
like he did before he died it pink and cut it all off. They were just
talking like anyone on a talk show would. Kurt seemed very happy and content
while he was laughing and joking around with Craig Kilborn. Then Craig sent
the thing into a clip of Kurt's band NIRVANA playing on MTV's live and loud
(the special they had on MTV). In the clip, they were wrecking the stage
like usual and then there was a shot of Krist throwing his bass in the air
and it hit him in the head and he fell to the stage. Then Kurt came over and
playfully kicked him. When they came back on, Kurt had shortish hair, kind
of like how he did in january 1993. Craig said something to the effect like
Kurt is really a violent person. Everyone in the crowd laughed and so did
Kurt. You know, they were joking around somemore and Kurt was very happy.
It made me happy too. This dream made me think. I wonder if this would of
happened if Kurt was still around? Who really knows? I don't.
- Ben
his eyes glissened as if they were an ocean with the sun glazing upon them
His voice spoke calmly but scratchy and seemed with an everlasting drift.
His blonde hair hung in his face looking as if her weter hiding something
hiding pain,
hiding anger,
but when everything was cleared, the oceans flowed through.
he could no longer hide
He is now rested, but still awake in many eyes.
underneith the bridge he will forever stay,
and stays in the hearts and souls of millions everywhere.
no one will ever forget the look when He came out of hiding,
when the oceans flowed through, and the last advice he gave to us,
"It's better to burn out than to fade away."

The Way I Cry
The way i cry is always the same
The emotion the felling the pain
The melodic science i see
bleeding through my ears changing me
I say to my self he'll come back
I know he's not but I love that
The uncertain true remains
His feelings his pain
I love this man
And I love his soul
The only thing better is the way they roll
No one hears his bleeding heart
Open your ears and tear it apart
He shaped my life and my views
His music is now in my soul
I can't say all i have the truth is gone
And he's alone no one cares
We care too much
Even in his youth
He WAS something
Took himself away and now he's done
His thoughts live on thru me
Take it to the grave or put in the sky
won't someone save me
This trap i love
Kurt Cobain

This song is called a Tribute To Kurt because, well, that's what it is. I'm a
13 year old female, but Kurt is everything I live for... everything I ever
will live for. Everything I do, I do for you. I love you Kurt

Tribute To Kurt
You started off as a pretty face. The first words I spoke of you were "he's a
rock god" You with your long, golden hair. Eyes like Saphire tears. A walking
angel. Then I heard your voice. Your words. Your crys of pain. So deep, yet
so clear.
Chorus: And I understood. I understood every excruciating, lonely, helpless
word. I soon learned your background. Who you were. Who you still are deep
inside. And you live my life, like I live your life, while we live each
others lives.
You were so strong in being weak. So perfect at being an outcast. So gentle
while being demanding. 'Cuz like me, you were afraid of the world, your
feelings, yourself. You thought you hid it so well. You thought no one
understood.
Chorus: And I understood. I understood every excruciating, lonely, helpless
word. I soon learned your background. Who you were. Who you still are deep
inside. And you live my life, like I live your life, while we live each
others lives.
Bridge: You're gone. I was strong, but strong like you. You made me who I am
- a pathetic loser. Like you. And I thank you.
Nirvana has meant more to me than any other band or group ever. While I am
too young to fully remember their initial impact, I do know their impact on
me. It may sound like a clique', but I feel like everything I have felt and
feel, is converyed in Kurt's words and music. Whenever I put on Nirvana
record, I just feel great and relieved and I can forget all the bad stuff in
my life. They have been one of my main musical and lyrical inspirations, and
after having read numerous interviews, books, etc, on them, they have also
been a life inspiration; in my values, the way I treat people and the way I
see the world. They've turned me on to SO many great bands like the Breeders,
Fugazi, Flipper, Mudhoney, the Raincoats, Patti Smith and many others. I
probably sound like some gushing, melodramatic fan, but I do feel a special
connection to "About a Girl" and "Sifting" and "Heart-Shaped Box" and
"Sliver" and "Downer" and "Scentless Apprentice" and Nirvana's version of
"Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" and "Polly" and "Drain You" and especially
"Dumb". I love all their songs and I know all the words and I love them.
However, something about them bothers me ALOT. Well, I guess it's not so
much them, but MANY of the people who own their records. People who have
Nirvana's Nevermind right up there with Appetitte for Destruction or some
Motley Crue record. It's really a contradiction, to like a sexist, rascist,
homophobic-loser-rockstar band and then like a caring, empathic, intelligent
band like Nirvana. It's so stupid. Especially when you consider those are the
same kids yelling at the kids in Punk Rock T-shirts and calling them
'faggots' when Kurt Cobain was such a energetic Gay & Lesbian Rights
Activist. These are the kids 'rocking out' to "...Teen Spirit" and that's
wrong. It's a total conflict of interest and those type of people should buy
Nirvana records. I think Kurt summed it up the best in the Incestide liner
notes "At this point, I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way
hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one
favor for us-leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to out shows and don't buy
our records."
Thank you for listening, I know I harped on forever. Here's the greatest
quote Kurt could've ever left us(far better than the 'better to burn out than
fade away'): "Peace, Love, Empathy"
-Mike
Genius is not a generous thing
In return it charges more interest than any amount of royalties can cover
And it resents fame
With bitter vengeance
Pills and powders only placate it awhile
Then it puts you in a place where the planet's poles reverse
Where the currents of electricity shift
Your Body becomes a magnet and pulls to it despair and rotten teeth,
Cheese whiz and guns
Whose triggers are shaped tenderly into a false lust
In timeless illusion
2
The guitar claws kept tightening, I guess on your heart stem.
The loops of feedback and distortion, threaded right through
Lucifer's wisdom teeth, and never stopped their reverberating
In your mind
And from the stage
All the faces out front seemed so hungry
With an unbearably wholesome misunderstanding
From where they sat, you seemed so far up there
High and live and diving
And instead you were swamp crawling
Down, deeper
Until you tasted the Earth's own blood
And chatted with the Buzzing-eyed insects that heroin breeds
3
You should have talked more with the monkey
He's always willing to negotiate
I'm still paying him off...
The greater the money and fame
The slower the Pendulum of fortune swings
Your will could have sped it up...
But you left that in a plane
Because it wouldn't pass customs and immigration
4
Here's synchronicity for you:
Your music's tape was inside my walkman
When my best friend from summer camp
Called with the news about you
I listened then...
It was all there!
Your music kept cutting deeper and deeper valleys of sound
Less and less light
Until you hit solid rock
The drill bit broke
and the valley became
A thin crevice, impassable in time,
As time itself stopped.
And the walls became cages of brilliant notes
Pressing in...
Pressure
That's how diamonds are made
And that's WHERE it sometimes all collapses
Down in on you
5
Then I translated your muttered lyrics
And the phrases were curious:
Like "incognito libido"
And "Chalk Skin Bending"
The words kept getting smaller and smaller
Until
Separated from their music
Each letter spilled out into a cartridge
Which fit only in the barrel of a gun
6
And you shoved the barrel in as far as possible
Because that's where the pain came from
That's where the demons were digging
The world outside was blank
Its every cause was just a continuation
Of another unsolved effect
7
But Kurt...
Didn't the thought that you would never write another song
Another feverish line or riff
Make you think twice?
That's what I don't understand
Because it's kept me alive, above any wounds
8
If only you hadn't swallowed yourself into a coma in Rome...
You could have gone to Florence
And looked into the eyes of Beeline or Rafael's Portraits
Perhaps inside them
You could have found a threshold back to beauty's arms
Where it all began...
No matter that you felt betrayed by her
That is always the cost
As Frank said,
Of a young artist's remorseless passion
Which starts out as a kiss
And follows like a curse
" MY TENDER FRIEND "
(Song dedicated to KURT COBAIN composed by UNREAL alias LAETITIA)
When I'll fly through the beyond, I'll see you, you who are my tender
friend. We are never promise each other to be friends,
But I swore myself to love you like the one I had wanted,
all that I must for you, all is due to you.
You dropped me without reasons,
and me I love you with ways and reasons.
Why did you abandon me ?
I had wanted to say to you, to write to you all that I felt,
but you killed yourself and it's the worst.
Alone I am on earth, I feel myself crushed in this greenhouse.
I had so wanted to see you but you let me imagining you,
Yet, I shut up me, continually, in a black hole.
I often think of you, among the stars, and to cast off the sailings.
I often feel like to be number's up, but thanks to you, I always fall again
the feet on earth.
I am, I exist ... I breathe, and you?
What did you become ?
I don't even know where you are, I would never know no doubt who he is.
But there is one thing I know, it's you'll always stay my tender friend.
You really left me, but NIRVANA will always give the key,
Thanks to your voice, I'll never have at all the sound.
KRIST had wanted to rise you but in advance you'll go to refuse.
DAVE gave again the taste of life, but someone stole it to you,
ruined it to you.
I had simply wanted you followed me in my bed,
To only know you exited.
If we listened to you, not let,
you'll be still among us no doubt, but we didn't know you too much,
say too much " you ", and you didn't succeed to bear,
too sensitive to confront it, you didn't know bearing it.
I would have been there to support you,
I would have been there to ring out you.
But never we'll know each other, in any case, I hope we'll see
each other.In my heart, you stay my tender friend.
Too early, you went, you let us with nothing,
now, I feel no more very good.
I pray more in rite, but in my eyes, you're my only site.
You let me all alone, to face the life which scare me.
Your music, halas, didn't rather bewitch you,
and us, unlucky, you broke us.
Will I say to you one day, how I love you my tender friend ?
The words you say are so true
Took me a while to understand
But now I have the feeling that you are my helping hand
You are a 100% pure
But few people know for sure.
I love you with all my heart
I hope you do believe
And if you're watching from heaven
I hope you will recieve.
You're not another junkie that bites the dust
Now you have been exploited
And it's hard to avoid it
All apologies is well said
But now it doesn't matter 'cause you''re dead.
Thank you.
- Alexander Bol (Holland)
Can you tell if this is real?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't care
I still care
But every time I think of you it makes me want to cry
We talk at night
And I think of things we did
God it hurts
I can't tell you if this is real
Just a daydream
Just a dream
You say you care
You say you still love me
But in a different way
My soul mate my alibi
I can't tell if this real
I don't know
I don't know
It hurts too much to breathe
I want to die
I loved you so much it made me sick
I loved you so much it made me sick
Take me away
Kill me
I can never tell if this is real
Or ever was
Just a daydream
You're a mist
It hurts too much to breathe
Kill me
Kill me
Kill me
I loved you so much it made me sick
Poem
Rain Dance Dead
Sew the juices and cut off the waterflow
to where we know we cannot grow.
Spade the laughter and fight my disease
with an utter in my side now I bleed.
Soft as the handle I handle my time
To write these words and make them rhyme.
We found the cabin and placed the bet
and before I knew it the world was wet.
This goes out to all true NIRVANA fans out there who admired and dwelled
in the heart of Kurt. In all things,who would have thought, we could make
a page about the one thing that has changed our lives in the greatest way
possible. Our personal hero,
KURT COBAIN
>From the bottom of our hearts we say, Thanks.
So here is a little something....
In a state of confusion
where little girls play with little boys
take their time and lose their minds
with space to spare with those
who dare dissociate but conform
Overwhelmed and on cue
take the pill and learn the matrix
to understand what really is really not
In the eyes of the beholder
resting lungs and fighting hearts
sway rythmically in perfect harmony
nestled on the palms,
whose clothes are closed and worn
Frances has Eyes as Blue as the Ocean
What should I say oh what could I say some more lyrics to please our
fashion that I wont be into for long. Oh how gross they say her hair
looks gross. They'll die young , so i can be happy.
My parents have guns
My parents have guns
My parents have guns
and their divorced.
My parents have guns
My parents have guns
My parents have guns
and their divorced.
Everyone follows everyone needs an understanding. Why do they have to be
so mean. As if I can't hear them. Yep I've never tongued.
My parents have guns
My parents have guns
My parents have guns
and their divorced.
and their divorced.

daughter)
*~*goodbye*~*
why did this happen?, why are you gone?,
after you healed pain and suffering for so long,
how quickly years flew, how quickly they passed,
why is it true that good things never last,
i thought you were immortal, i thought you'd never die,
how come i never got a chance, just to say goodbye,
but you'll never leave me, you'll always be in my heart,
you always will and always have been from the very start,
Kurt-i love you, Kurt-i always will,
it's that empty part of me that you have fulfilled,
did you know how much I loved you, did you even care,
did you know about the love that I'll always share,
here's my chance now, I'll say goodbye to you,
I miss you very much and I need you too,
I hope you're happy now, I hope you are at peace,
It's hard for me to be when you are deceased,
there is only one thing that's left for me to say,
"it's better to burn out than to fade away".
I Love you Kurt!!

Sprillaing into:
Intro,
Explosions of light,
shattering this
womb.
Brutal NOise.
we gasp for air,
cold, its cold,
we shiver.
our airWAY's open
we let a cry,
Frightened
by the sound of our own voices,
we writhe in silence.
Throw our arms OUT but find,
dificulty in moving,
everything is amplified.
blinding pain,
the chord it is severed.
We cannot go back.
Kurt you changed my life,
I cannot thank you enough.

Kurt Cobain was a great guy. I just wanna say 2 ne 1 who likes
nirvana coz it's the cool thing 2 do, please go away and find some stuff
out about the people behind the music. kurt cobain went through a helluva lot
of stuff, and some people don't appreciate that. he died b 4 i even heard of
nirvana. a friend introduced me 2 their music and i was completely moved by the
whole thing. i've listened 2 their music, and read their interviews to try and
get an idea about their character. there was a great passion in their music.
even though i didn't even know about nirvana, kurt, and kurt's death till two
years ago. his dying still touched me. he is an idol. oh yeah, and can i just
say that even is dave and chris re-formed nirvana again, with a new lead, it
wouldn't be the same. i love you kurt. r.i.p
- hugs 2 everyone who feels nirvana. bex
Kurt-
It's been seven years since you departed from us and left us wondering,
pondering, and asking. The guilt still lingers, along with the pain,
confusion, and some anger. The resentment's long gone, but our open wounds
still sting with the images of you on that fateful spring day. We still
remember. We wonder what we could have done, but then quickly realize it was
out of our control. We haven't forgotten you and we never will. Just do us a
favor: continue to make music...and THRIVE on it!!
I love you and I miss you immensly.

Lethal Dose Of Life
The world set you aflame
The world abused your name
The world smothered you with fame
The world must take the blame.
Infected by
Hopelessness and despair
Internal conflict
The reasons were there
Wife and daughter
Loved but not whole
The glass is empty
When it’s so close to full
Didn’t give in
Only gave up
Experience has told
Life inevitably tough
Clear exit
One bullet
Dismiss the pain
Kill the brain
It’s all ended.
You told us.
by Kate Adele Brotherton
Wasted Bullet
Talent was stolen by a shotgun trigger
The impact Kurt made could not have been bigger
Exploited by the media he treated with contempt
Subjected to critics who made an attempt
To question his integrity with every breath
Their morbid fascination was fueled by his death
He bore the burden of creating grunge
A style of music that begged us to plunge
A knife in the heart of social hypocrisy
A call to assassinate American plutocracy
In Cobain we found a voice to express
The frustration and anger we could no longer suppress
Our generation they labeled and chose to ignore
They pimped Kurt's talent like sex from a whore
They lured our hero with money and fame
Yet when Cobain pulled the trigger they denied any blame
- Mark from Canada.
Kurt Cobain... Such a rare and unique name but then again he was a rare and
unique man himself... On april 5th a hero died and memories were born. On
that fatal day of early april a young man's life was ended. One shot was
fired that ended his life. That shot hit both him and all of the Nirvana
fans heart's. The sound of that shot was loud and echoed threw the Seattle
home. But... for the true fans that shot still echoes threw are minds....

Frank Pasquini
Peace, love& empathy...
Kurt Cobain R.I.P.
You'll always remain a part of me...
Heres the other poem, it's called "kurt's way out"
i am mentally insane for the one the only kurt cobain
i dreamed he was in front of me so pure and true
i screamed "take me with you!"
toward him i started to run
but in the distance i saw the light of a glimmering gun
a loud noise went off that hurt my ears
and kurt lay dead at 27 years
- Bonnie
Kurt can be described in no other way than a savior, a messiah, a God.
Kurt reached out to thousands and thousands of hurting and anguished young
people and touched them. He touched them so deep that they felt as if they
knew as a brother, as a close friend, as a family member.
He gave us all something. He gave us an insight into the real world, showing
us that not everything is as sugar coated as our parents led us to believe.
Through his broken, sad songwords, we all felt a connection, a sense of
being and worth.
As if we belonged, as if someone cared.
When Kurt left us, we were plunged into darkness, our light was gone, our
hope was shattered. We had no one to communicate with.
Teenagers find expressing emotions hard enough, but when their one true
outlet is stolen from them, they don't know where to begin.
Kurt's death left so many young hurting people alone, with no one to turn to.
90% of Nirvana fans, never met Kurt, never knew Kurt, never even saw him
live but we knew him better than anyone, we knew his darkest secrets, and
his most tormented feelings and through those feelings we began to explore
our own emotions and we found that by listen to Nirvana those negative
emotions can relieve themselves. Kurt was the leader of a lost generation
and will be remembered by thousands forever.
I personally owe my life to Kurt and I would just like to say, he is an
amazing man and listening to his words have given me the will and the power
to live.
Thank you Kurt.
We love you, may your legacy live on.

Kurt.
Why did he die,
closed those blue eyes
I wanted to save?
Took his needle
and a gun
and made a grave.
Hurry and find him,
that little boy
all alone.
Wake him
as quick as you can
call back his soul.
Revive the voice
that I hear in my dreams.
Get out his guitar
and put on his jeans.
Don't let him die,
tell him life won't always hurt.
Open your eyes,
sing to me KURT.
- Michelle (Mmseashell@aol.com)
I was only 2 when Nirvana formed and 7 when Kurt died. It's a shame for
me to know them just for a year, or less. By a lucky chance, may be a sad one,
I finally hear their song, their words to the entire world. It breaks my heart.
Now I cry everynight and ask, 'Why did you do this, to yourself and to all
of us that love you so much?' I know it is silly and unbelievable to say that
I love him,and I would have died for him that day if this could save his life
as well as many of our souls as I don't have ever see his face, but , please,
do not believe me, believe him, believe his power of music. Now I live in pain
and his shadow, but I enjoy it in tears, I pray for him everynight before I go
to sleep, hope he could go to heaven and R.I.P. If I had a son, I would name
him after Kurt, I am serious.
Here are my words to Kurt:
You are a selfish, foolish idiot, do you how much it hurts?your death is like
a needle, it stings into my heart, the wound is so small that nobody can find it,
but it is hurting me, deep into my soul, and it will never recover. Why did you
do this? That bitch, she doesn't worth you to do so, it is a shame for her stinking
blood to mix with yours holy. She only knows to ruin your life by drugs.
Don't feel down if she gave you no love, because we would give you more than you
could have. Everynight I cry to sleep and wet my pillar, I imagine you are by my
side and trying to comfort me, I am so sorry, so sorry, if the people, the mass
media had ever done something that hurt you(although I know you after
your death, that is too late, I now live in regret), please forgive them for
'raping ! you', giving you no privacy amd ripping you out of your life. You will
be in our mind forever, until the end of our lives, until there is no music in
the ugly-fucking world anymore. R.I.P. Kurt......

This is a story about how I found out about Kurt's death.
I was only four at the time but I still remember what happened. I was watching
NBC Nightly News with my dad and I saw alot of people holding candels at an outside
arena and there were pictures of this man with stringy blond hair and vibrant blue eyes.
They played the recording of Courtney Love's voice that sounded very sad and angery.
"Daddy" I asked " what's wrong? And why does that lady sound so sad?" He answered "A
really great man died." To a four year that doesn't mean very much. It wasn't untill
years later that I relized the greatness of Kurt Cobain. I started listening to Nirvana
and reserching Kurt. Then one day I picked up a book tittled 'Hevier than Heaven' it
was a deep insight to Kurt's troubled mind. It made me think about how Kurt was just
a person that you wanted to go up to, give him a hug, hold him in your arms and tell
him that everything was gong to be alright. Kurt hated his fame and the media, but
bitched every time his videos wern't played on MTV. ! When you have a certain feeling
about the world and then that world that you belive in is yanked out from under you,
it puts you in a state of shock, and Kurt never recovered from that with his fame.
Kurt, as much as he despised the name, is a God and WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!
Sincerly,
Peace, Love , and much empathy,
Jessica C.
He had a bad child hood
He hated his parents
He got beat up a few times
He was one of the best Musicians ever
He was in one of the best bands ever
He married a Whore
He had a beutiful daughter
He was Tortured soul
He was on drugs to cure pain
He wrote songs to cure pain
He tried to stop
His life ended in the wrong way
He was Kurt Cobain
By Matt Mosz
fall down on your knees
help me he begs and pleads
don't bother the rain
it will drop
don't hit me now
i wanna be on top
you are shit to me
i have no heart
i have no love
we are gone
he does not care
cuz i burned my heart
inside your cold flame
suicide is the same
hear his shouts in your heart
there's no need to listen
there's no need to care
it's bullshit
it isn't fair
leave him to die
starve him thin
rip his hair and tear his skin
he's a teenage wreck
he killed leeann and cut her neck
she didn't support his wish
so he made her into a whore dish
in my opinion it's just fun
suicide is the same
i don't think rapers have shame
everything is suicide
but suicide is grunge
in the wake of suicide
my friend in your death i cried/
an i know you wouldnt try or have tried/
todie in the wake of suicide/
your leaving was planned i know but not by you/
an im not sure but only god knows the truth/

Society rules over the ongoing truancy of life
Taking short cuts and dipped corners
Powerful sources of the need to be original
Rise up steadily through the boughs of life’s forest
Never again shall this day be upon us
Seize the time, the power and the force
And continue this repetitive daze which pollutes
our minds
Our minds, half empty with knowledge, half known to our
inner child
Replicas of the dead carry on what was once but now is gone.
Never forget, never know but commemorate the presence
and go as they did.
Join the club of dead at 27 and start a craze, a mystery, a fable.
My mind is blank
My soul is leaving
Tears are dripping like rain from the seiling
I´m feeling blue but my face is green
I must be the most beautiful maid you´ve ever seen
My hands are shaking
Hearts are aching
Serpent ghosts are all around
Hollow eyes and hollow body
Greetings to ya, everybody!
My soul is blank
My mind is leaving
Rain is dripping lika tears from the seiling
I´m feeling green and my lips are blue
Good night to all of you.
the sun may not shine were i am in my lost mind-
things may be wrong with no words to explain
theres no one to hear me when i scream
the madness and rath i can put on paper may
not be what everyone makes it to be
people are like mosquitos sucking the life out of
me for i am drained
laying here naked and bare for everyone to see
i may never know peace or no the feeling of true love
because the grimness in my life effects everyone
with so many to relate and deserve attention more
than i, for that i may never understand with the
hollowness of my heart falling into
depths that no one can reach beyond the border of
hell i fall into tranquility for once
i feel no feelings even though i have so much to live
i am striken with the decsion to live or die
with the ones i love always in my heart the pain subsides
now he is gone but not for long half the man in him will
be brought back to life in frances
my feelings have begon to fade i am in denial
along with my true meaning of life
i turn the lights out
`you will be remembered always in my heart Kurt `
i may only be 14 but i admire you and your music deeply
you are my inspiration in life it makes me cry to think
that such a man can be taken for granted its just wrong
- kayla padilla
Your rage and apathy splinters many deep
Hearing you on the radio, echoes in my sleep
Bi-polar's mania is wasting me too
Addiction, abandonment - isn't nothing new
Your shadow will stick upon me like glue
Goodbye Cobain, I will eternally miss you
-JP
A vinda ao mundo do Kurt Cobain foi a melhor coisa que aconteceu à musica nos
últimos tempos.
Não posso dizer que ele era o melhor guitarrista do mundo, nem o melhor
cantor do mundo, não é verdade. Mas como todos os génios, ele desenvolveu,
ao longo da sua vida, vários tipos de arte. Pintava, esculpia, cantava, escrevia,
e acima de tudo, compunha músicas. É desta herança que lhe vem o título de génio,
e não por gritar bem e conseguir sobreviver à droga.
Quando ele se viu agarrado à heroína, a Babilónia total começou para ele,
o mundo desabou, mesmo que se tenha reconstruido com o nascimento de Frances.
O que é que interessa, que um fã como eu, insignificantemente estúpido
e mísero no meio de tantos comentários e livros escritos dobre ele, venha
para aqui dizer o que é que ele era e deixava de ser?
Esta é a melhor forma que encontrei para dizer: Obrigrado Kurt por
teres dado um rumo à minha adolescência, por me teres posto a tocar baixo
eléctrico, e me teres ensinado a mim, e a todos esses filhos da puta
comprados por editoras multinacionais, que "We'd rather be hated
for who we are, than loved for who we're not". Esta foi a lição que aprendi."
Sebastião Botelho Moniz Bustorff de Burnay, PORTUGAL. 2007.
