Musical Nostalgia
A bit of nostalgia
un poco de nostalgia
A few months ago a benefit concert was held in which important artists and musical groups came together to raise donations to help those affected by the devastating fires in Los Angeles. FireAidLa I believe was the name given to the event. It was streamed worldwide on youtube.
There was good music. Singers and bands that I like, but there was one specific segment that struck me in a positive way. There was a reunion of the band Nirvana, where there were guest vocalists, including Violet Grohl, Dave's daughter. Of course, it would have been great to have Frances Bean Cobain performing the songs immortalized by her father, but she is focused on being a mother, an artist and apparently wants nothing to do with the band. That's her right, she will have her own desires and we have to respect that.
Listening to the few Nirvana songs at that concert, made me close my eyes and go back in time. A lot of memories that don't seem so long ago, but it's been a long time. I'm sure a little smile was drawn on my face while remembering that beautiful stage of my adolescence.
Hace unos meses se celebró un concierto benéfico en el que importantes artistas y grupos musicales se reunieron para recaudar donativos con los que ayudar a los afectados por los devastadores incendios de Los Ángeles. FireAidLa creo que fue el nombre que se dio al evento. Se retransmitió a todo el mundo por youtube.
Hubo buena música. Cantantes y bandas que me gustan, pero hubo un segmento específico que me impactó de manera positiva. Hubo una reunión de la banda Nirvana, donde hubo vocalistas invitados, entre ellos Violet Grohl, la hija de Dave. Por supuesto, hubiera sido genial tener a Frances Bean Cobain interpretando las canciones inmortalizadas por su padre, pero ella está centrada en ser madre, artista y aparentemente no quiere tener nada que ver con la banda. Está en su derecho, tendrá sus propios deseos y hay que respetarlo.
Escuchar las pocas canciones de Nirvana en ese concierto, me hizo cerrar los ojos y retroceder en el tiempo. Un montón de recuerdos que no parecen tan lejanos, pero ha pasado mucho tiempo. Estoy seguro que una pequeña sonrisa se dibujó en mi cara mientras recordaba aquella bonita etapa de mi adolescencia.
I don't remember the exact moment I heard Nirvana for the first time, I just know that I immediately connected with their music. I was already listening to rock and was hanging out with some friends who also liked good music. We were enemies of all Caribbean rhythms. Teenage nonsense. Eventually I would open my musical tastes to any genre.
Nirvana was for me a cry of rebellion. I felt identified with that misunderstood generation. Aren't all generations misunderstood at the time? Nirvana and other grunge groups quickly caught on among young people, because they embodied that repressed rage, that desire to be noticed and to feel heard. That rebelliousness that we all have at that age and that is diluted when we become adults. When we believe we are going to achieve glory, but the system holds us back and controls us.
When we still have that rebelliousness we are a danger. That is why the system begins to mold us from a very young age. everything is designed to make that rebelliousness disappear. The education we receive from primary and secondary school is to mold us to the interests of others. I am no longer the rebel I was then, social control has taken its toll on me. I feel like I am rambling, I knew this would happen because remembering makes me reflect on different topics.
No recuerdo el momento exacto en que escuché a Nirvana por primera vez, sólo sé que enseguida conecté con su música. Yo ya escuchaba rock y salía con algunos amigos a los que también les gustaba la buena música. Éramos enemigos de todos los ritmos caribeños. Tonterías de adolescentes. Con el tiempo abriría mis gustos musicales a cualquier género.
Nirvana fue para mí un grito de rebeldía. Me sentía identificado con esa generación incomprendida. ¿No son todas las generaciones incomprendidas en su momento? Nirvana y otros grupos grunge calaron rápidamente entre los jóvenes, porque encarnaban esa rabia reprimida, ese deseo de hacerse notar y sentirse escuchado. Esa rebeldía que todos tenemos a esa edad y que se diluye cuando nos hacemos adultos. Cuando creemos que vamos a alcanzar la gloria, pero el sistema nos frena y nos controla.
Cuando todavía tenemos esa rebeldía somos un peligro. Por eso el sistema empieza a moldearnos desde muy pequeños. todo está diseñado para que esa rebeldía desaparezca. La educación que recibimos desde primaria y secundaria es para moldearnos a los intereses de los demás. Yo ya no soy el rebelde de entonces, el control social ha hecho mella en mí. Siento que estoy divagando, sabía que esto ocurriría porque recordar me hace reflexionar sobre diferentes temas.
Listening to Nirvana, for me, is reliving a time when I had a lot of material deprivation, but I had something called happiness. Classmates, pranks, pranks I got into, getting drunk, having a good time. Also falling in love alone, at that time I didn't have much luck with girls, I was uglier than now so I had to fall in love alone. Maybe at the time I felt sad about it, but now it's a good memory that makes me long for the old days.
I didn't know what my future would be, I just lived day by day, without so many responsibilities. My character was also more volatile. Nirvana also reminds me of when I told the physical education teacher that we should have some fun. I also told the high school principal in his office, they thought I would be afraid of them. All of that had repercussions, but I don't regret any of it, if I were given the chance to go back in time to relive it, I would do the same thing, even more intensely.
Kurt Cobain's death had a huge impact on me. Anyone who knows me knows that I don't idolize people. I think that fact had an influence. I admire filmmakers and actors for their work, but I don't idolize them as people. You'll never see me wearing a T-shirt with a real person's face on it. With a fictional character, yes. I was a Cobain fan, that's the stage where we become fans of some musical idol. I know what it's like to be a fan of something, you become blind, that's why now I'm not a fan of anyone or anything.
When I come across a Nirvana music video on yotube, I really enjoy it because of that flood of memories that are part of my life. It also brings me back to the reality that I'm old, but that doesn't bother me anymore, I feel like I've overcome my age problem.
I didn't want to talk about a specific music video, I'll leave you with links to one of Nirvana's songs and the reunion segment from earlier this year. I also didn't want to talk about the band's history or production details, etc. Like my posts about movies, I focus on thoughts, messages, opinions and how it makes me feel. I don't know if it's good for the initiative.
I read it in the comments.
Escuchar a Nirvana, para mí, es revivir una época en la que tenía muchas privaciones materiales, pero tenía algo llamado felicidad. Compañeros de clase, bromas, travesuras en las que me metía, emborracharme, pasarlo bien. También enamorarme solo, en aquella época no tenía mucha suerte con las chicas, era más feo que ahora así que tenía que enamorarme solo. Quizás en aquel momento me sentí triste por ello, pero ahora es un buen recuerdo que me hace añorar los viejos tiempos.
No sabía cuál sería mi futuro, simplemente vivía el día a día, sin tantas responsabilidades. Mi carácter también era más volátil. Nirvana también me recuerda cuando le dije al profesor de educación física que nos dieramos unos coñasos . tambien se lo dije al director del instituto en su despacho, pensaron que les tendría miedo. Todo eso tuvo repercusiones, pero no me arrepiento de nada de eso, si me dieran la oportunidad de volver atrás en el tiempo para revivirlo, haría lo mismo, incluso con más intensidad.
La muerte de Kurt Cobain, tuvo un gran impacto en mí. Cualquiera que me conozca sabe que no idolatro a la gente. Creo que ese hecho influyó. Admiro a los cineastas y a los actores por su trabajo, pero no los idolatro como personas. nunca me verás llevando una camiseta con la cara de una persona real. Con una personaje de ficcion si. Yo era fan de Cobain, es la etapa en la que nos volvemos fanáticos de algún ídolo musical. Sé lo que es ser fan de algo, te ciegas, por eso ahora no soy fan de nadie y de nada.
Cuando me encuentro con un video musical de Nirvana en yotube, lo disfruto mucho por esa avalancha de recuerdos que forman parte de mi vida. También me vuelve a la realidad de que soy viejo, pero eso ya no me molesta, siento que he superado mi problema de edad.
No quería hablar de un videoclip en concreto, les dejo enlaces de una de las canciones de Nirvana y del segmento de la reunión de principios de año. Tampoco quería hablar de la historia de la banda ni detalles de producción, etc. Al igual que mis posts sobre películas, me centro en pensamientos, mensajes, opiniones y en cómo me hace sentir. No sé si es bueno para la iniciativa.
Lo leo en los comentarios.
I invite to participate in the initiative to @neruel & @soldierofdreams

In adolescence it is impossible that someone has not felt rebellious, even me haha 😂 and there will always be that band or soloist that reminds us of those years, in fact, are the most memorable and that's what it's about, what the music represents for us, what it reminds us...
Your entry is valid for the initiative, the idea is to see the singer, not just the lyrics of the song because they are usually re-uploaded videos and not the artist himself 😂 Thank you very much for participating! 🦉
Gracias pro pasar y comentar ! Todos somos rebelde en la adolescencia, pero el sistema después nos quita la rebeldía.
Certain bands or singers had the power, because they were public, to say and express what we teenagers were feeling, that state of revolt that we were repressing. Nirvana was one of them, there were many. The singer also had a very particular voice and the lyrics were lyrics... not like now, they said things, they expressed feelings and emotions and that always touches the heart and soul.
Of course it's worth for the initiative, the important thing is the impact on you of that video, that song, that band or that singer.
I leave you a song that I like to make you smile again. Thank you very much for participating!
Ese unplugged que grabo para MTV fue muy bueno, interpreto varios covers. Fue su ultima presentación en vivo, poco tiempo después se suicido.
nirvana fue una banda que marco mi adolescencia.
A mi me fascinaba Michael Jackson!!! Sus videos eran geniales, me encantaban las coreografías! Seguro tuviste más cantantes que te marcaron, esperamos más reseñas!
