Come as you are

Lately for some reason i couldn't help listening to Nirvana more than i usually do. No, not necesarilly because it's a classic, but because i gained interest in the death of vocal leader -Kurt Cobain. I've always known how the rock idol of the X generation died, and to be honest i've always found the lyrics of my favorite song , ironic. "Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be, as a friend, as a known memory. Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours (..) and i swear, I don't have a gun ".

As the intrigue grew on me, i started looking up for photos, started watching live performances, started analysing every movement of his and as i was doing so, i kept thinking..damn, they invented grunge". An enormous respect that i cannot even begin to measure always had a place in my heart for this band mostly because in only 4-5 years managed to change the lives of an entire generation that was already born and another one yet to come.

After found dead in his apartment, shot to the head, a note was soon discovered and was later proclaimed a suicidal letter that stated the artist's reasons to put an end to his life.

"I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music, along with really writing . . . for too many years now".

I wish he knew that their music saved me from myself so many times and continues to do so with so many people in this world. For me,personally, his legacy was the simple, but yet so difficult to have thought of myself in it's esence, "Come as you are". And i did.
