We all know Nirvana and Curt Cobain, but apart from many of the famous songs on MTV, we don't know much about Nirvana's discography. The song Heart Shaped Box is a hidden treasure by Nirvana, and it was written by none other than Curt Cobain, Nirvana's frontman. This song appeared as the third song of their third and final album, In Utero. The album was released under the label DGC Records in September 1993.
It was one of the first two songs remixed by Scott Litt prior to the album's release, as the band was not happy with the original mixing done by producer Steve Albini. In the Litt version of the song, you can find the additional vocal harmonies and the guitar played by Kurt Cobain. These two elements were not recorded for the rest of the songs on the album, which was produced by Albini.
In one of his interviews, Kurt Cobain said that the song "Heart Shaped Box" was written with the feeling of a child suffering from terminal cancer in mind. But for the most part, people believed that the song spoke about Kurt's relationship with his wife, Courtney Love, who was also a member of the rock band Hole.
This song was not released in the United States as the band feared that it might perform better than the whole album and could lead to lower sales for their album. Still, Heart Shaped Box recorded good numbers of radio playback and reached number one position on the Billboard Modern Rock Charts.
