Where Did You Sleep Last Night


I'm playing the Nirvana MTV album a lot lately, especially this song. I'd forgotten how incredible the entire album is, and how astonishingly talented Kurt was. He had such an insanely fucked up childhood, and I think you can hear the catharsis in his voice when he howls 'my girl.' It's like a primal scream. Music is totally therapeutic; I think singing is perhaps the most powerful way to express emotions, particularly love and rage, even more so than writing because of its immediacy. Lord knows I love warbling aloud in my apartment.
