Seasons In The Sun
Nirvana · With The Lights Out [2004]
when all the birds are singing in the sky
And all the flowers are everywhere
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me.
I was the black sheep of the family.
And I don't know the ... all these words.
I have boggy turds.
With my B.B. gun I would kill birds.
We had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills that we climb
were just seasons out of time.
All our lives, we had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hill that we reached
were just starfish on the beach
Goodbye Michelle my little one
I was the apple of the shiny sun.
And la la la la hill we reach.
All my tears are salty.
I think now I will start to read.
We had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills that we climb
were just seasons out of time.
We had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hill on the beach
were just starfish on the beach
We had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills that we climb
were just seasons out of time.
I've had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the stars that we reached
were just starfish on the beach
Seasons In The Sun
Nirvana's "Seasons In The Sun" stands as a pivotal track on their 2004 compilation "With The Lights Out," showcasing the band's enduring ability to reinterpret classic material. Originally a cover of the 1973 hit by the English group The Righteous Brothers, Nirvana's version captures their signature raw energy and distorted sound, blending the song's nostalgic melody with grunge aesthetics. The recording exemplifies Kurt Cobain's vocal style and the band's commitment to reimagining existing songs within their own sonic framework. This track remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the group's influence on alternative rock and their capacity to breathe new life into familiar melodies through their unique lens.
