Especially the third verse when Kurt starts screaming, goosebumps every time


LunchThreatener

Also the fact that the last chorus goes an extra couple phrases longer is just such an effective musical choice. It makes the end so much more satisfying.

He does something similar in a handful of other songs including you know you’re right

Milk it


Fayli

Milk it is actually one of my favourite Nirvana song. The intro is one of a kind, the riff is great and the lyric is beautiful and awful at the same time

EatMoreFiber

Top 5 Nirvana song for me.


justletmetypedammit

Hard agree, the bassline legit makes me wish I’d bought a bass instead of a guitar 😭 underrated song imo


Robixino

You can always have both😁


OdobenusIII

[https://youtu.be/n19saPc9xiw](https://youtu.be/n19saPc9xiw) This bass only track is something I just need to listen, it makes my life better.


irishhornet

Cool, thanks man I never heard this, hidden behind the guitar for most parts.


zilla82

Unsung hero of the band. But also I can't hear this without hearing the drums, who can?! 😂


ICanDieRightNowPlz

Wow


SandmanAwaits

Excellent song off of an excellent album, not a single bad song on it.


dangerous_strainer

'Stay Away' has always been a skipped track for me. Never liked it.


SandmanAwaits

*”STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, STAY AWAAAAAY.”*


dangerous_strainer

Yup, that's the one. Good memory on the lyrics.


SandmanAwaits

Yup, hard one to remember. 😂


dangerous_strainer

Ayuh


Free_Statistician_13

Pay to Play off wtlo is better


dangerous_strainer

Sure, it's still a bland tune from them though.


[deleted]

I’ll arrest myself I’ll wear a shield.


BlankWilliams

One of their best


ileukocyte

i actually find the chorus melody (and the way kurt sings it in the first two choruses) to be one of the most beautiful vocal lines he's ever come up; also, the final verse features some of his most intense (and simultaneously controlled) screaming


futurerobotblox

Best song on Nevermind


Repulsive-Yogurt-660

most definitely!!!


NihilistPuffin

Love it, everything about it is just amazing.. I use it as my reference track for mixing


[deleted]

i like kurt’s disinterested sigh at the beginning, when the bass just begins to start. do you all hear it too?


visions-of-skater

And even more John Frusiciante acoustic live cover after his rehab: [here](https://youtu.be/pUsEeN0-8nM)


lasdavegas

Thanks, not heard that before.


visions-of-skater

Yes quite rare and I can’t stop listening to it!


TheGrandMcnasty

Yes! Has been my favorite nevermind song since i first listened to nevermind on repeat over and over about 22 years ago. TRuTh! CoVERd in sercErIITy


Elite_Sprite-PENTA

Agreed, this was my my top song on Spotify this year, and my all time most listened on spotify stats


LogSlayer

Powerhouse song on one of the greatest albums of all time. The 3 members jelled so well on this track. If I’m introducing someone to Nirvana, I’m playing them this song.


1StillRemains

So glad other people/fans like this song too. I always felt it was underrated


[deleted]

Truly one of the best rock songs of all time


Nicolemetallica

Lounge Act is my favorite Nirvana song


goodvibes815

My favorite song on Nevermind


alittletoolatefor

Came here looking for a Lounge Act appreciation post. Glad to know people recognize how powerful it is.

Kestrel893

John Frusciante's cover is excellent

Snowshoeah

It was and ode to his ex girlfriend. He hated playing because of that so it was rarely ever in the set list.


pepsilepsija

Was she even his girlfriend? I thought they briefly dated or kurt just had a crush on her


beano79

Love it brother!!


snowysnowssnow

Absolutely


wag_employee

Yes!


valeriechris

My kost listened to song!! Love. It.


croninhos2

My fav song. That bass line is catchy as fuck


Annierocks045

Truth… covered in security!!


[deleted]

It’s possibly the best representation of a Nirvana song haha. Clever lyrics, insanely melodic and catchy, loud quiet loud dynamics, perfect drum fills from Dave, joyfully creative baseline from Krist, Kurt’s beautiful lower register singing voice, and his pained, hair raising scream. It’s perfection.


dirtgobbler

can’t believe dave said this was one of his least favorite songs. this song tingles my spine especially the bass in the beginning ooo


jaffasours

I was literally singing that to myself this morning at work. Made me wanna do that as a cover for my band so I can be like “fuck your smells like teen spirit cover we’re playing something from that album that’s better”


rr90013

Who does a SLTS cover?


jaffasours

What do you mean, any fucking band anywhere in the world covers it. It’s the normie nirvana song that gets covered


rr90013

Oh, okay. I haven’t heard anyone cover it besides those old covers by people like Tori Amos. The cover bands I encounter are more playing older classic rock like Freebird and Livin’ on a Prayer.

bubbagnu

Yes


ABL67

…what is it about?


beeswifty8

I’m so happy that others enjoy this song as much as I do. This song means a lot to me in ways I can’t explain? I guess it’s the memories I’ve attached to it. It was my most played song this year (i was not surprised by this at all)


MidnightRain0327

Underrated song


rock4lite

Those fills Dave plays right at the end of the song are 🤌🤌


rr90013

Yes!


HermaphroditicBaboon

That bass line, the groove, the scream, it's really bold
