Amazing version of this BEATIFUL song! Congratulations cobainsprodigy for writing down the words,I personally would've never managed that(it's impossible to understand what the hell Cobain is murmuring-I personally believe he is simply trying to keep up with the music without paying any attention to what he is saying,at least at some parts he is obviously doing that).Anyways,I was taken aback when I realised he was singing in the end of the song "Jesus saves".I was under the impression that he was not a christian so I came up with this theory(based on my belief that he was not a christian-correct me if I'm wrong): "Old age" is the age when many people start believing in the "Lord Jesus Christ" so that they "shalt be saved".I think he is mocking the fact that a lot of people turn to religion when they reach the "Old age" because they are afraid of what is coming next -death,hell,anything.This is how I connect the line "Jesus saves" with the rest of the song(what is understandable of it anyways). I adore this song no matter what is the "true" meaning of it! The music is my favourite Nirvana music,so sad and yet so beatiful.

Rest in peace Kurt,you're alive through your music
