All Apologies

Nirvana · Unplugged In New York

What else should I be
All apologies
What else could I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
Buried

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married, Maried, Maried!
Buried!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

All in all is all we are (x20)

All Apologies

All Apologies is a haunting track from Nirvana's 1994 Unplugged In New York recording, marking a pivotal shift in the band's sonic identity. Stripped of heavy distortion, the song features Kurt Cobain's raw, melodic vocals layered over a sparse arrangement of acoustic guitar and bass. This rendition highlights the band's versatility, showcasing a more intimate and vulnerable side compared to their earlier grunge output. The performance became a staple of the MTV Unplugged series, influencing countless artists who sought to blend acoustic textures with emotional depth. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to convey complex feelings of regret and introspection without relying on traditional rock structures.
