"Cobain" is the first single from the homonym full length of Italian alternative metal band "Diatomea". The song is not only a tribute to Nirvana's charismatic frontman, but it's also a reflection about the tendency to exploit and misread musical artists, transforming their personality into an icon. In fact, as often happens with charming musicians, Kurt Cobain was misunderstood on two levels: both with the moralistic opinion from who didn't understand the disease behind his drug addiction and suicide, and with the cynical reduction of his emotive and human complexity to a mere product to be sold. So "Cobain" isn't simply an imperative dedication to such an inspirational musician, but it's also an invitation to abandon every preconception about art, respecting the author behind it.
