"Blew" is the title of a song and EP released by American rock band Nirvana.
"Blew" was written in 1988 by Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain. The song was recorded in December 1988 and initially appeared as the first track on Nirvana's 1989 debut album Bleach. Blew remained one of the only songs from the Bleach era that remained on Nirvana's live setlist throughout their entire performance history, all the way up until the band's final show on March 1st, 1994 in Munich, Germany, where it was performed during the encore, giving it the distinction of being the second to last song ever performed by the band. In addition to the song "Blew", the release also includes "Love Buzz". This mix of "Love Buzz" is the Bleach version, as opposed to the 7" Sub Pop Singles version mix. The version of "Been a Son" that was recorded for the EP is hailed as the "definitive take" of that song as it encompasses Nirvana's thrashing signature sound as well as Krist Novoselic's bass guitar solo being much more pronounced in the mix. "Stain" features both dual vocal and dual guitar tracks.
i paint myself a window in this world of your conception where it all comes down to you knew if you conceived it you knew i would believe it you knew that you would paint me into your world of blue you call it something to say you call it nothing to lose you call it anything but the truth suffocation in words your isolation disturbs i can hear your voice as it echoes on so bury over and over the songs you sing inside my head i don't wanna lose what you left inside of me cause it's all i own of you the red disguises secrets lies and the blue belongs to you alone the gold is time wasted in lines of indecision dragging onward so bury over and over the light in you that won't stay dead i don't wanna lose what you left inside of me cause it's something real pulling me under i hear the warm hum of your voice washing over me a blue light melody of sound shines across my back and now its pulling me down pulling me under to where hide yourself alone gagged and tied to the weight of ourselves underwater well i won't forget this loss the shame of regret turn out the lights and sit in darkness while i try to make it through silence there's a monster growing strong conspire to bring me down its all i own of you
