about

The life and tragedy of Kurt Cobain told through the eyes of a fan and admirer. Kurdt was the way Kurt originally spelled his stage name after the press person mistakenly misspelled it this way.

lyrics

Oh I remember the first time I saw your face
Something ominous in your eyes
And in your poetry, I saw a deep stark world
I dwelled in cloudy skies
Rain drenched leaves
In darkened corners of the streets singin...

Your cardigan sweater
Your skinny pale frame
The way you smoked your cigarettes
Your cowering stature
Your cynical humour
Your greasy blonde hair
Wanted to be your clone live tragic, hard, and die young
The gravel in your voice singin'...

Remember the day, you went away
Your songs echoing in the darkness of a cold, dreary night
Eerie distant memories of early nineties youth
Can see the frailty in your soft blue eyes
Cryin' out for...

Now we all wave goodbye to the abandoned toe headed child
An angel scorned by earth that lost his wings
His passive sick face as he plays for the raging crowd
He reached for the Sun and died trying
His childhood dreams, lost memories in his head singin...

I remember being scared of the world and his understanding my pain
So tear a hole in your vein
Ride that white horse into the sunset
They say he was weak or insane
I think he was just misunderstood
And as Young said no one understands...
