“Polly” is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, featured on their second studio album, “Nevermind,” released in 1991. The song was written by the band’s lead singer, Kurt Cobain, and tells the story of a young girl named Polly who is abducted and held captive. The lyrics are based on a true story of a 14-year-old girl who was kidnapped and tortured in Washington State in the late 1980s. The haunting acoustic guitar paired with Cobain’s soft vocals creates a chilling atmosphere that perfectly conveys the darkness of the subject matter. Despite its haunting lyrics, “Polly” became a fan favorite and remains a popular track in Nirvana’s discography. The song showcases Nirvana’s ability to deliver powerful and emotional music that resonates with listeners on a deep level.
