He was born for your crew. He was something. Kept his body clean. Going nowhere. Disgrace the family name. Touted as one of Nirvana’s more sad and thought provoking songs and with a sludgy, unmistakable ‘Seattle vibe’ carrying it, “Even in His Youth” explores the estranged relationship and lack of acceptance given to Cobain by his father (despite his needing of it), dispute being in the proverbial prime of his life regarding this crucial aspect – his youth, which in turn constitutes quite possibly forming a linkage with “Been a Son” with this concept expressed in such a form.Originally included on the Hormoaning EP released in February of 1992, exclusive to Japan and Australia markets, the song was included on the Nevermind re-release in 2011 alongside it’s fellow ‘Teen Spirit’ b-side, “Aneurysm”, this is hailed among the Nirvana community for it’s enduring, almost-sorrowful message and enticing main riff, along with lyrics batted out by Cobain that makes the listener feel, too, just the struggle dealt with in the context. Even in his youth. Even in his youth. Kept his body clean.
