If I may, If I might, Let me down, we've been, If I say what is life, I might be dreaming, If I may what is right, Summon time too see me, He lives in his bonnet, A face from his pocket, Chains mowing life from trees. Do Re Mi. If I may, If I might, Wake me up, see me, If I do and if I lie, Find me out see me, If I may cold as ice, I may have too see me, The ways in his socket, The face from his moment, The chains from his socket, Do Re Mi. Wish me good, Wish me light, Find me out, see me, If I may just be quiet, Follow hate and be me, Hello and if I sigh, Shake me out; TV, If I may and if I might, Gotta gun to bleed, Rays in his pocket, Rays from his wallet, Chains from his armor, Am I deep? Do Re Mi.

10 facts about this song
Composition/Recording"Do Re Mi" is a significant track from the iconic rock band Nirvana. Although it was recorded by the band's frontman Kurt Cobain in the early 1990s, it was not officially released until 2004 as part of the "With The Lights Out" box set, more than a decade after Cobain's death.
|
Lyrics/TitleThe song's title "Do Re Mi" does not appear anywhere in its lyrics; it derives from a series of tape-recorded solo sessions by Cobain, often referred to as the "Home Demos." Most of these songs do not contain any recurring chorus or verses.
|
Unfinished Project"Do Re Mi" is often considered an unfinished project. Cobain's solo acoustic demo is the only available version of this song, which lacks the full-band arrangements typical of Nirvana's recorded output.
|
PopularityDespite being unreleased during the band's active years, "Do Re Mi" managed to gain popularity among fans and critics alike. It is often praised for its melodic strength and Cobain's haunting vocals.
|
CoversIt has been covered by various artists over the years. In 2015, a version by American rock band The Vaselines was included on the tribute album "I Saved Latin! A Tribute to Wes Anderson".
|
Its NatureUnlike many Nirvana songs, "Do Re Mi" is relatively soft and slow-paced. It reflects Cobain's versatility and shows that he was more than just a grunge rock musician.
|
Sound QualityOwing to the rudimentary recording equipment and circumstances, the sound quality of "Do Re Mi" is relatively low-fi. However, many fans and critics believe that this contributes to the raw and intimate nature of the song.
|
Possible InfluenceSome listeners and critics have suggested that "Do Re Mi" may have been influenced by The Beatles – a band that Cobain openly admired. This is based on its tuneful, pop-inflected melody which diverges from the heavier, punk-influenced sound of the majority of Nirvana's discography.
|
Other VersionsApart from the "With The Lights Out" box set, "Do Re Mi" also appears on "Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings," released in 2015, which featured the song in an even more stripped-down version.
|
SpeculationGiven the song's melodic strength and lyrical structure, it's speculated that if Cobain had lived, "Do Re Mi" might have been developed further and featured on Nirvana's follow-up to their 1993 album "In Utero".
