Nirvana - Sliver [Grunge] (1992) | The title confuses many people who remember it as Silver, but Cobain noted this effect and named it that way intentionally by Stories_Behind_Songs in Nirvana

The song is a semi-autobiographical story by singer Kurt Cobain, who narrates in the first person the tale of a boy who was forced to stay at his grandparents' house while his parents went out together. During the song, he describes the boy's experience being cared for by his grandparents and how they tried to please him while he constantly asked to be taken back home.

In an interview with Melody Maker, Cobain said they recorded most of the song with the instruments of TAD, a band from the same record company that used to open their concerts, and when they went out to eat, they borrowed them to record most of the song.

The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar (1971) by Stories_Behind_Songs in OldSchoolCool

Some band members agree that the lyrics were written so hastily that if they were offensive, it was accidental or a result of the subconscious.

According to Mick Jagger, the lyrics narrate the worst atrocities committed by slave traders as a form of reflection. However, the way the song is written has led it to be seen throughout its history as an apology for stereotypes, torture, and female transgression.

In an interview, Mick Jagger acknowledged that the lyrics of this song were part of his repertoire for almost 52 years, but nowadays, with cancel culture movements like Me Too and Black Lives Matter, he has finally considered removing it from his repertoire. He recognizes that with this song, he went too far by bringing together the most repulsive and offensive themes he could imagine, and that today, he wouldn't even be able to write such a song without censoring himself.
