Album's just one absolute banger after another, and then it finishes with a song that sounds like someone wrote in 5 minutes while hungover at a music festival.

(But then I suppose it redeems itself with "Nameless Shameless," if you count that one, so at least it doesn't end in disappointment)

I mean... It is Nirvana. There's a very good chance that is exactly what happened.

Also: you got the name of the song right? I grabbed my disc to listen to it since I don't remember that one and there is literally no song with that name on the album. Not even the deluxe edition or remastered edition on Spotify have a song called "Underneath the Bridge."

Did you mean "Something in the Way?" It has those words as part of the lyrics. It's one of my favorites off that album. lol

Something in the Way is literally a highlight of Nevermind, but I can’t think of any other Nirvana song that has “Underneath the bridge” in the lyrics.

I think they do mean Something in the Way - and I find it an oddly comforting listen.

I did mean "Something in the Way." Funny, I haven't looked at the names of the songs for a long time, and my mind played a trick on me

Totally relate.

I still can't help but think that a particular song about Link from Legend of Zelda really was made by System of a Down due to all the kazaa/limewire/Napster uploads crediting it to them back in the day 🤣

This is how all those Mandela Effect stories begin lol

Probs thinking of Red Hot Chili Pepper brain crosswire.

Boooo! Hisss! It's chill and mellow. I think it is a great counterpoint on the album!

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wish I could feel the same. I tried to like it, I wanted to like it

[–] astraeus@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s probably the most authentic Kurt on the record if we’re being real. Depressed, dejected and broken down

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't that the whole album?

[–] astraeus@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lyrically yes, sonically not as much. The music captures his overall mood much better than the angrier sounding songs. Man had tremendously horrible IBS and a heroin addiction, sure he was angry but how much more often was he just absolutely in the dumps?

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, and I think I've made it clear that I don't think the song adequately conveys that. I could expand on this, but I've already stated my opinion of the song, which hasn't changed one iota, so I will choose not to engage.

I'm just going to join the dogpiling on you about incorrect song names lol

It's "Endless, Nameless", not Nameless Shameless

GOD DAMN IT ZFSSJJCSAADAHKMHDX

I love being able to stream, but I think now and then I should still PICK UP THE RECORD AND READ IT

Scary how memories are so elusive. I wonder what else I think I remember that is false lmao
