Leadbelly - The Gallows Pole

Great to see you around Ron Pips Cruiser

I hadn't heard that song (or any nirvana in fact) in so long. That was incredible, such a talented songwriter, it just perplexes me. Simplicity at it's finest, it still hits me the same way it did when I first heard "Smells like teen spirit" when I was just 14. Kurt Cobain was 5 years deceased by then.

When I was 26 my biggest fear was not surviving my 27th year on earth. It was a very real threat to me. This was mainly because I knew so well the statistics surrounding the age of 27, and my biggest idol (Kurt Cobain) was one of those statistics among many more. I was a total loser.. No job, no life, no money, no girl, no hope... I had an awesome family but as much as they tried to hide it, it was clear, they didn't have one ounce of respect for me and had lost all hope. . How I got there is my own business, but at the time FOREX trading was all I had,. It was my "way out".. Of course my ideology was completely wrong. Money would never solve anything real to me at the time. If I did achieve what I wanted (as planned in my head) all I would buy would be some new environment with the same issues. Likely just intensified (this is how I see these fallen "27 club" famous people)... The very problems that fuels them to fame and great heights, just intensified to fuel them to death. Whether that was purely their own doing, or the doing of those that surrounded them is another discussion entirely.

At 29, I still love FOREX trading, actually more so than the day I first started in which I had the full belief I would be very rich in the next 5 years. But it's not everything to me anymore, as it was in those unhealthy years of my life. At 29 years of age I am more happy than I've ever been in my life, still I have my mountains to climb and pieces of things I've destroyed to piece back together but somehow it seems like it was all worth the while. I'm so sad for Kurt Cobain and others that never saw 28... Such a small thing could have seen them over the hump they succumbed to... such a small thing.

I hope this post isn't depressing or "too deep". It's meant to be the opposite.

This is my favorite Nirvana video .. The energy when he screams in the middle part is strange and un nerving. Almost god like, R.I.P to my immortal yet unfortunate father figure growing up Kurt Donald Cobain.

Probably my all-time favorite band too - I was in the right age group, a senior at high school when Nirvana was at its peak, and they kind of reflected my own belief in getting as fucked up as possible as often as possible.

I read a biography of Kurt Cobain a few years after he died and the one thing that really struck me about him, and still amazes me, is how easy music came to him. His bandmates would be slaving in the studio all day, trying to figure out a particular melody or rhyme, and he would knock it out with no effort at all. Apparently everything in life seemed to just come to him like that, one of those very rare geniuses

That's what always puzzled me... Here was this person who "seemingly" had everything, rock star, money (his net worth when he died was around 100 million dollars!), Courtney Love (lol). Yet BANG,, lights out.

I honestly wish I never heard of him or his music, because it was the very WRONG questions to ponder as a teenager. I eventually worked it out, but it just goes to show... Grass is always greener, or something

Mean hearts, cold hearts

not really my kind of music, but atm it´s this:

Their underappreciated album, thats kinda my favourite

Banco de Gaia - Shanti

I like this one of NIRVANA

Rape Me (Live On "Nulle Part Ailleurs", Paris, France/1994)...

Thinking about Kurt Cobain, I feel it was his feeling of loneliness for founding a wrong Muse that kill him.​

Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Lithium (Nirvana Cover)

^^^ Love that guy, he was brilliant. Sad story though, also reminds me of Robin Williams, who was dearly loved by many and a poetic genius, but he, too, struggled with internal demons.

These guys will remain in my prayers for as long as I live... and to everyone else who suffers anything even remotely similar.

I came to this thread with the intent of posting my own song, but now, I feel as though that would be entirely inappropriate.

Interesting story there. For me, I was a teenager during the sixties. Some of the artists who died around age 27 in that era were Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison.
