Sleeps With Angels

I think the song is pretty much just about the life of courtney and kurt "she saw the dark side of life" ... "he's always on someone's mind" meaning he'll never be forgotten.. and we always think about him. R.I.P Kurt.

Kurt quoted Neil in his suicide note "It's better to burn out than fade away"... this affected Neil, who has even noted Kurt as one of HIS influences, even though Neil was making music since before kurt was born... Anyways he felt bad that kurt took his lyrics so deeply and decided to write a song about him, and a sort of a tribute album

Very much about Kurt. The opening lines talk about Courtney Love's impact on Kurt. "She wasn't perfect/She had some trips of her own/He wasn't worried/At least he wasn't alone/Too late/He sleeps with angels/Too soon" Saying Courtney wasn't the trophy wife, and had many troubles, but she completed Kurt and now he had someone to be with him through his journey that understood him. And yes, he is now with the Angels, very much too soon. Rest in Peace Kurt.

Cobain.

That's the first thing I think of when I hear this song. The rugged distortion sound is the next.

Does anyone know how the lyrics relate to Cobain?

Agree with the people above.

A fantastic song by the amazing Neil Young. Cobain was greatly influenced by Neil Young and Nirvana is one of Neil's fav bands.

When I read it I think about how kurt and courtney did drugs which brought them to the dark side of life and when she tried to help it was too late.
