Nirvana: Lithium (1992)


Nirvana began recording "Lithium" in 1990. Front man Kurt Cobain disliked drummer Chad Channing's effort on the record, which helped lead to Dave Grohl's entry into the band. The song is about a man that turns to religion to cope with his girlfriend's death. "Lithium" was inspired by Karl Marx's comments about religion being an opiate for the masses.
