In Bloom by Nirvana

Nirvana's second song off of their Nevermind Album, In Bloom was written to mock people that don't understand lyrics and meanings to songs yet still blindly sing along. I though this was very interesting, as I must admit I have the tendency to do the same thing at times...

In Bloom by Nirvana off of the Nevermind album

In Bloom
by Nirvana

Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
don't know what it means
and I say

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
don't know what it means
and I say yeeeaaahhh

We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
don't know what it means
and I say

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
don't know what it means
and I say yeeeaaahhh

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
don't know what it means
and I say

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means
Don't know what it means
Don't know what it means and I say yeeeaaahhh

In Bloom by Nirvana: Political or Entertaining?

Nirvana wrote In Bloom to take a stab at arena rock. The song is mocking people that sing along to songs they don't know the meaning to. Ironically, In Bloom was often sung along to by many fans of Nirvana at their own concerts..

Do you like the 'sound' of a song or the 'meaning' of a song more?

I like the way the music sounds, that's how I decide what is good..

Lisey says:

Both + Nirvana kicks arse.

The lyrics of a song are what really drive me to like it after first listen.

shannon says:

i like both i eman the lyrics are a big part of why i like certain songs but the sound is also a big part in some cases
