Nevermind is the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991. Produced by Butch Vig, Nevermind was the group's first release on DGC Records. Frontman Kurt Cobain sought to make music outside the restrictive confines of the Seattle grunge scene, drawing influence from groups such as the Pixies and their use of song volume dynamics.
Despite low commercial expectations by the band and its record label, Nevermind became an unexpected success in late 1991. It also included some of the band's biggest hit singles, including "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Come as You Are", "Lithium" and "In Bloom". By January 1992, it had replaced Michael Jackson's album Dangerous at number one on the Billboard charts. The Recording Industry Association of America has certified the album Diamond (over 10 million copies shipped), and the album has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.Nevermind was responsible for bringing alternative rock to a large mainstream audience, and critics subsequently regarded it as one of the greatest and most influential albums of all time.
Leonard Norman Cohen, CC GOQ (born 21 September 1934) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, poet, and novelist. His work often explores religion, isolation, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships. Cohen has been inducted into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is also a Companion of the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honour.
While giving the speech at Cohen's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 10 March 2008, Lou Reed described Cohen as belonging to the "highest and most influential echelon of songwriters."
Cohen was born on 21 September 1934 in Westmount, Montreal, Quebec, into a middle-class Jewish family. He attended Roslyn Elementary School. His mother, Marsha Klinitsky, of Lithuanian Jewish ancestry, emigrated from Lithuania while his great-grandfather emigrated from Poland. He grew up in Westmount on the Island of Montreal. His grandfather was Lyon Cohen, founding president of the Canadian Jewish Congress. His father, Nathan Cohen, who owned a substantial Montreal clothing store, died when Cohen was nine years old. On the topic of being a Kohen, Cohen has said that, "I had a very Messianic childhood." He told Richard Goldstein in 1967. "I was told I was a descendant of Aaron, the high priest." Cohen attended Westmount High School, beginning in 1948 where he was involved with the Student Council and studied music and poetry. He became especially interested in the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca. As a teenager, he learned to play the guitar, and formed a country-folk group called the Buckskin Boys. Although he initially played a regular acoustic guitar as a teenager, he soon switched to playing a classical guitar after meeting a young Spanish flamenco guitar player who taught him "a few chords and some flamenco."
Ek het 'n ongewone verklaring
Ek weet nogsteeds niks nie
En ek gee nie om nie
Ek sal eerder ophou praat
Voor ek 'n regte besluit moet maak
Voor ek 'n regte besluit moet maak
Voor ek 'n regte besluit moet maak
Ek weier om te glo
Wat jy glo is alleen reg
Ek weier om te glo
Wat jy glo is alleen reg
Dit is eienaardig hoe hulle ons geleer het
Dit is interessant hoe lank ons daaran wou vasklou
Ek sal eerder my bewussyn verloor
Voor ek 'n regte besluit moet maak
Voor ek 'n regte besluit moet maak
Voor ek 'n regte besluit moet maak
Ek weier om te glo
Wat jy glo is alleen reg
Ek weier om te glo
Wat jy glo is alleen reg
Ek weier om te glo
Wat jy glo is alleen reg
Ek weier om te glo
Wat jy glo is alleen reg
Ek weier om te glo
Wat jy glo is alleen reg
Ek weier om te glo
