Drain You by Nirvana
Today, we're back with our usual jump in the past, even though we're not making a very long jump, indeed, we're going back to 1991.
The song is Drain You by Nirvana; it's the eighth track in the band's most famous album, Nevermind.
Drain You wasn't a single, nor is one of the best known tracks by Nirvana. We could've picked Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are or Heart Shaped Box, but everyone already knows them, plus we wanted to suggest a song the band itself loved.
Kurt Cobain used to say Drain You was at least as good as Teen Spirit and was one of the few songs he loved to play live -- indeed, it was often played as the opening songs for their concerts.
There are a whole bunch of Nirvana songs we love and we might feature in the coming months, but this one definitely epitomizes the band's activity: a powerful riff with deep lyrics.
Now, head to iTunes, download this song and take your guitar out of the closet! ;)
