I was reading that Oasis’ “Live Forever” was partly a response to Nirvana’s “I Hate Myself and Want to Die,” and it made me hear the song differently. Noel Gallagher has said Cobain’s outlook pissed him off, but he also called Nevermind a timeless masterpiece. So in that context, “you and I are gonna live forever” almost sounds like Noel reaching out to Kurt: we’re both going to die someday, but the music won’t.

I could get more into the lyrics being kind of a conversation between Noel and Kurt but I’ll save that for the 7th grade essayist.

Anyway what are other songs that are about the band or Kurt specifically?
