I think it's fairly commonly acknowledged that this song is about suicide, long before Cobain's suicide note, so it would be worth mentioning the context of the song. But I thought I'd doublecheck here that there were no problems with that, before I edit it in. It's better to burn out/Than to fade away is obvious, And once you're gone/you can never come back is the finality of suicide, and When you're out of the blue/and into the black. is going from being 'blue' (depressed), into 'black' (void, death). Anyways, any problem with putting this in context, why Cobain decided on this song as a building block to his suicide? Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 03:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
I had never seen it about suicide. More a hymn to the "live fast, die young" mentality (from Jimi Hendrix through Sid Vicious). -- Beardo 04:54, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)"
Should we see "Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)" and "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)" as two songs, or two versions of the same song ? -- Beardo 04:58, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Good question, personally I'd be in favour of considering them a single song and having information about the 'rewrite' in this article :) Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 15:25, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
