NIRVANA - "Come as you are" - Nirvana Nevermind Tribute video free download

In Cobain's hometown of Aberdeen, Washington, they put up a road sign in 2005 that reads, "Welcome To Aberdeen. Come As You Are.”

Nirvana Nevermind Tribute is a band based in Sao Paulo - Brazil. In our concerts we play the Nevermind album with all songs in the same sequence. The goal is to translate the feeling which the listener have when actually listen this (amazing) whole album from start to end. (kind of an old thing nowadays right?)

To be clear on what I'm talking about the concert begins with “Smells Like Teen Spirit" then "In Bloom" then "Come as you are" and keeps going on, can you see? It is one of the greatest albums of all time and of course, the concert ends with "something in the way” just like the original album.

Kurt Cobain described this song as "About people, and what they're expected to act like."

The lyrics are intentionally contradictory and confusing, with one line rebutting the next:

"As a friend, as an old enemy"

"Take your time, hurry up"

The chords in this song are a slowed down replica of Killing Joke's 1985 song "Eighties." The songs were so similar that Nirvana considered holding off releasing the song as a single. Killing Joke considered legal action, but when Kurt Cobain died, they decided not to sue. ("It's a short f--king life, mate - we could be going fishing or something sensible," lead singer Jaz Coleman explained).

Dave Grohl is a big fan of Killing Joke and helped them out by playing drums on their 2003 self-titled album.

In this song, Cobain sings over and over, "I don't have a gun." Less than three years after the song was released, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. This was an eerie turn of events, but it's unlikely that Cobain had suicide on his mind when he wrote the lyrics. The gun could be a reference to a time when Cobain's mother got mad at her husband (Kurt's stepfather) and threw his guns in a river. Cobain says he recovered some of them, sold them, and used the money to buy his first guitar when he was 15.

Nirvana producer Butch Vig says that this is one of his favorites from the album. He says that Cobain used the same effects pedal on his guitar that he used on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to produce the "trippy, psychedelic, watery effect." Vig told NPR: "I think that song is about acceptance, and about misfits. You're cool no matter how screwed up you are. 'Come As You Are' is an ode to accepting someone for who they are.”

The line, "Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late" is referenced in blink-182's "Adam's Song" when they sing, "I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine I didn't think enough.”

The cover of Nevermind shows a baby underwater reaching for a dollar bill attached to a fishhook. This symbolizes that you're taught to go after money from the moment you're born. Cobain got the idea for the image when he was watching a TV story on underwater birth.
