![]() Maybe Cobain is trying to compare Christianity to a popular fantasy. There’s also a lot of surreal Wizard of Oz imagery for instance the poppy fields and crows, the witches hat, the cross may be the scarecrow. She is even jumping to save to save the hanging foetus. Furthermore, the little girl is dressed like the KKK but also like the pope comparing the two. This is shown through the old man wearing the Santa hat and then later the catholic mitre aka. Some believe the video slamming the Catholic Church’s teaching on abortion. ![]() It’s a common belief that the song is about Kurt Cobain’s intimate relationship with Courtney love. There are lots of interpretations of what both the song and the music video are about. In other words the video is absolutely mental. The video features the old man on the cross, a fat woman in an anatomic body suit, a young Ku Klux Klan girl supported by mechanical birds, fields of poppies and butterflies. Influenced by themes already explored in Nirvana’s music previously. Majority of the ideas for the video actually came from front-man Kurt Cobain himself and not Anton Corbijn. Although visually colourful the video is disturbing and the assumed meanings within this video are dark. The album itself already had controversial artwork and controversial language for instance the song ‘rape me’, therefore it needed a perfect video to match. To support the record they release a single music video directed by Anton Corbijn for the song Heart Shaped Box. In September 1993 Nirvana released In Utero, an album in which at the time people said defined the generation. This time out we’re like, ‘Let’s go further in that direction and see how far we can take it,’ so it’s going to be interesting.Heart-Shaped Box – Nirvana (Directed by Anton Corbijn) “It’s, like, R&B and soul but we can really get rockin’. “And just witnessing the industry in a whole other way definitely inspired me to go for the sound I’ve been hearing in my head for a long time.”Ĭon Brio gets back to touring this week, including a “dream come true” headlining debut at The Fillmore in San Francisco and mixing West Coast, Canadian and European shows throughout the summer - with more to be added in the near future. “Of course it’s a reflection of seeing so many amazing bands and artists around the world deliver their performances,” he says. For this one it was more intentional to add more of a contemporary, modern aesthetic, more of a refined vocal production and more layerings of sonics and synthesizers.” Touring the world twice also had an impact on how Con Brio approached Explorer. The idea is ‘What can we create to inspire us to face life head-on?’ ( Paradise) was raw We owned that it was our first album. “This one is a really intentional diving into the love and liberation aspect that I took from that event and every other event that transpired. “ Paradise was inspired by the death of my father,” McCarter says. This time, however, it comes from a different perspective. And I feel like we have some of that same resilience they possessed in their performances, if not necessarily the same way.”Ĭon Brio recorded Explorer in San Francisco in San Francisco and Los Angeles with producer Derek Fuhrmann, and while the tone is buoyant and joyous, McCarter and company also embrace socio-political issues as they did on 2016’s Paradise. ![]() I loved ‘Black Hole Sun.’ I loved Chester Bennington I loved his voice. “Those were people I was listening to growing up. “I really feel like we’ve honored the life of not just Kurt Cobain but also Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington,” he explains. It served us well.”Īnd, McCarter hopes, the song also serves Cobain and others in the same way. But after (‘Heart-Shaped Box’) we were able to really dial in the writing process a little bit more. We were touring a whole lot at that time and it’s hard to find time to really get seven people in a room to pump out the hits. “Right after that we wrote a few more songs to propel our writing process in a positive way. ![]() “We had a day off and I thought of a way I wanted to remake it and we came up with that (version) within two or three hours,” McCarter tells Billboard.
