Alex Trimble recommended Nevermind by Nirvana in Music (curated)

 
Nevermind by Nirvana
Nevermind by Nirvana
1991 | Alternative, Rock

""Nevermind"' by Nirvana was one of the first albums I distinctly remember buying, and I bought it purely on the basis of the cover. It was the first record I had a true connection to, I had it on day in day out and eventually my dad asked if I’d like a guitar so I could learn to play it. I learnt it from start to finish and from that moment I wanted to be a singer in a rock band.'"

I now understand Auri a little better, but I relate to her less.

I watch a few years ago. Awesome series, I wish it lasted longer.
  
Oh, that’s okay, Miss Reid, I didn’t need my heart today or anything.

All joking aside, what a powerful book. It has been a long time since a book has taken a hold of me and not let go until I finished it. It has been even longer since I have read a book so well done, that I find myself skipping over passages, not because I am bored or distracted, but because I am so engrossed that my eyes cannot keep up with my brain. I was hungry for every page, devouring every word like I was starving.

Reid has literary prowess I dare not compare to others I have read before. I was so deep in her fictional world that it felt like I was losing my own mother. Ashley’s frustration ate me alive because it became my frustration. This novel had more soul than most humans I have encountered.

Do yourself a favor and read this book. Want a meaningful story? Read this book. Enjoy a good romance that is more than a romance? Read this book. Book hangover? Jaded? In a reading slump? Please read this damn book.

My only complaint is that I feel the author passed on a great opportunity by not calling it Beauty and the Beard. Honestly, I don’t remember her mentioning a mustache, but there were beard galore!

"If I could pick a song that I could go back in time and write, this is it. I think it's a perfect composition from start to finish, the melody to the drum groove, it’s really hard man. I think if I was to play that drum groove on its own a lot of people would think how does this fit into anything? And the fact this man's made this love song, that can be played in soundsystems, you can listen to it at home, it's so like transferable and I just love that about it. There's no right or wrong place to play it. I could play this at my wedding, I could play this if I’m going through a break up and I’m at home on my own, I could play this at a gig. I mean, for me it’s just a perfect song. And I think for the album, I was more concerned with writing songs than I was creating music for improvisation. I can do that, it wasn’t about trying to prove that, I want you to listen to this from start to finish, everything should be a great song. That was a good three and a half minutes. I was trying to get that with a lot of the tracks where it just takes you on this journey and that's a great example."
