“Smells Like Teen Spirit” reOrchestrated.

The summer has almost finished so it is time for a new post! I reOrchestrated Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” for solo cello, symphonic orchestra, SATB choir and the original voice of Kurt Cobain. I would love to read your comment on this!


And for the visitors from Germany, where YouTube banned my video for copyright issues (I have used parts from the original music video), bellow is a Vimeo version:

Writers: Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It’s fun to lose and to pretend
She’s over bored, self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, hello?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah!

Hey!
Yay!

I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah!

Hey!
Yay!

And I forget just why I taste
And yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it’s hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido

A denial! A denial!
A denial! A denial!
A denial! A denial!
A denial! A denial!
A denial!
