The Man Who Sold The World (Live)
Nirvana · MTV Unplugged In New York
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
We walked a millions hills
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago
Who knows? Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
About The Man Who Sold The World
"The Man Who Sold The World" is a song by Nirvana that can be described without overloading it with uncertain background. The recording's title provides a compact frame, while the music supplies the real context through rhythm, vocal phrasing, instrumental texture, and overall mood. If this listing represents a remix, edit, or alternate version, the version note matters, but it does not replace the song's central identity. A strong draft should help listeners place "The Man Who Sold The World" in plain language: what kind of energy it carries, how it fits the credited artist, and why the track may stand out in a playlist or set. The version wording should be preserved because mixes, edits, remasters, and live takes can change pacing, texture, or emphasis while keeping the same underlying song identity.
