About A GirlNirvana7rank/position

Nirvana, the band that emerged from Washington State in the late ’80s and brought a fresh breeze to the music scene.

Contrary to the intense sound typically associated with grunge, this track resonates with a poppy, beautiful melody reminiscent of the Beatles.

The small misunderstandings and frustrations of living with a partner come through painfully in Kurt Cobain’s languid yet gentle voice.

Included on their 1989 debut album Bleach, some may have discovered it through the 1994 acoustic live recording.

It’s a song that, when listened to at a time when a relationship has started to feel “normal,” can make you realize anew just how much the other person means to you.
