"Drain You" was the literal birth of a relationship and "Lounge Act" its slow erosion and breakup (by "Stay Away," the restraining orders were being busted out). While the meaning behind Cobain's songs were often opaque, it was no secret that "Lounge Act" -- with its themes of jealously, insecurity, and overbearingness -- was about Kurt's ex-girlfriend, Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail. According to producer Butch Vig, "Lounge Act" earned its title because it sounds like a "lounge song" thanks to its jocular riffs and Cobain's more-polished-than-usual delivery -- but early lyrics for the song in Cobain's Journals also featured a line about "lounging in the sea."
Tuning: Standard
Equipment used: Stella harmony 1967
Lyrics: Truth - covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to, but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
I still smell her on you
Don't - tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
I still smell her on you
Truth! - covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've made a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Still smell her on you (x3)

Can we all just appreciate this guy for a second, my man has covered literally EVERY Nirvana song, he has been on KZhead for many many years and you can find his comments on a lot of Nirvana related videos, from any time era on KZhead, and (even tho this was 8 months ago) he's after all those years still kind of active on the platform. This man is truly amazing.
Well I'm back with one of my favorites. Hope the sound mix is ok as I do these recordings very amateurish. 30 years anniversary for Nevermind and 10 years since I started doing Nirvana covers. Man, time flies by so fast.
Oh, and sorry about the shorts, haha.
@@Tomnedreb no problem..
Yep
Welcome back 🙏🏻
Time flies when you're having fun Tom... Or On a Plain. It sounds awesomeness!!! You're always killing it!... Dude you want to start a cover band?!
Lounge Act would’ve been good for Unplugged imo
100 percent agree!
Yes, it's a shame they didn't play it live.
i don`t think so man
@@kirba24 i certainly do think so!
@@Archive222 Its isolated vocals from the studio recordings pretty ceetainly. Single tracks were often extracted from Guitar Hero back in the day.
This man is a rare occurrence
Brilliant cover as always, Tom. Glad you're back!
Yeah, he's back. I am happy for that 😄

After watching almost every single of your video I bought a guitar 2 days ago and first song I learned was ''Lounge Act'' Thanks Tom for your videos, you mostly influenced me to start playing a guitar
My mission is done
keep up man. You are like a teacher to me. i learnt everything from you!
El mejor canal de música a mi gusto, realmente no naci en la epoca de esta música pero la comprendo y me parece un sonido conmovedor, la entonación y trasmision de sentimientos en las canciones de kurt es algo que nunca habrá una vez más. Hey tom gracias por compartir estos videos en lo personal nunca tome clases de guitarra y se tocar varias canciones y apenas llevo unos meses tocandola pero con tus videos aprendo mas, gracias y salud.
can you do an acoustic cover of in bloom? i love your work
Drain you acoustic now, love your vids 👍👊
Excellent idea!
Great man!...👍
Happy birthday to Kurt
The god gave us another blessing.
Holy fuck I love nirvana you are great
Nevermind forever🙏🙏
Cool
Awesome cover, hello from Russia to you!
🔥🔥🔥🎶
Next, doing some rare live Nirvana covers... I seen some KZhead video of a Nirvana concert doing a different unique version of “Come as you are” and it was great, I can’t remember witch video but I’m going to have to find it again. It won’t get out of my head 😂 I gotta watch the whole video again.
Nice guitar
Muy bueno Tomnedreb te saludo desde argentina❤️
Hi man! You certanly know that this Pan Cap Chew song was recorded shorter cause the tape, and I had an idea: what could it sounded like, so if your time allow you to make a version of a longer version I would be so happy cause this is one of my favorite songs!!!👽
🔥😊
