Information About

Even In His Youth




Apparently the song is written by Kurt Cobain in the third person about himself. During part of the chorus he switches the format to first person, a trick that Kurt would sometimes do with songs. There are references to his inability to please his father and his low self-esteem throughout the song. ''"Even in His Youth"'' features one verse that is repeated twice, a chorus that is repeated thrice, and a guitar solo in the middle. Of note is the fact that although actually 3:06 in duration, the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Single label lists the song's length as 4:20, a likely cannabis reference.
