INFO ABOUT HEART-SHAPED BOX:
"Heart-Shaped Box" is a song by the American grunge band Nirvana, written by Kurt Cobain. It was the first single from their 1993 album In Utero. The song reached #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks, staying there for three weeks and was a Top 5 hit in the UK.
The "Heart-Shaped Box" music video was directed by Dutch photographer and video director Anton Corbijn. It includes a number of striking images, including a skeletal old man in a Santa hat hanging from a crow-ridden cross, a young girl in a Ku Klux Klan costume reaching for fetuses in a tree, and even a large woman dressed to resemble the anatomical model of the cover of In Utero, complete with angel wings. It also includes shots of the band performing in a field of poppies, hinting at the field of sleep-inducing poppies from the The Wizard of Oz, and of Cobain singing into the camera in a fake-starlit room as Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl sit behind him. A less-common version of the video was made with alternate footage during the final verse (very likely a director's cut), including more shots of the young girl and the large woman, and scenes of Cobain lying on his back in the poppy field, with smoke rising from his mouth. This video can be seen on the DVD The Work of Director Anton Corbijn.
After the video's release, Nirvana was sued by Kevin Kerslake, who had directed the videos for "Come As You Are," "Lithium," "In Bloom" and "Sliver," and who claimed that the band had stolen his early ideas for the clip in the final product. Kerslake dropped the case following Cobain's death in April 1994. The video won two posthumous MTV Video Music Awards in 1994: for best alternative video, and for best art direction. The awards were accepted by Cobain's former bandmates Novoselic, Grohl, and Pat Smear.
In the BBC documentary "The Last 48 hours Of Kurt Cobain", former Nirvana producer Jack Endino said the video for "Heart-Shaped Box" was "scary" for those who knew Kurt, after his death.
