Theme and references [edit]
When I heard that Kurt Cobain had taken his ain life, the first matter I thought of was I wish I were there and could accept tried to save him. The original championship for these lyrics were "I want to testify you what dearest tin practice," but because it was such a nighttime horrible thing I just couldn't shine a light on information technology. So I changed the final line to "Don't tell me what dearest tin practise."
P.S. It was also the time of the breaking up of Van Halen, our last album and bout so it added a lot of emotion, negativity and pain in the original vocal performance which surfaced the 2nd I started singing this vocal for the outset time since 1995.
Sammy Hagar[2]
The vocal's main theme is near the power of universal love. Sammy Hagar says in his autobiography that he wanted the song to be uplifting, for the chorus to exist 'I wanna bear witness you lot what dear can do', just that his relationship with the Van Halen brothers was becoming strained and that they were very critical of the lyrical treatment, wanting something with more attitude.
In addition, the story almost the expiry of Nirvana's frontman, Kurt Cobain, is also told in the song through the lyrics "Is it right to take the like shooting fish in a barrel way" and ends with "I can't tell you what'due south right for you" with the bridge, repeated towards the end of the song, saying "I run across the impairment done, yeah/oh Lord, I heard the shotgun".[iii]

The fellow is and then comforted past a man who visits him and the last scene of the video shows that he'southward due to be released. Interspersed are victims who, along with neon signs, display the attacks they survived such equally that of gunshot, bulldoze-by shooting, sexual assault, knifing, and more while the ring is shown playing the song.
