While making the much talked about documentary surrounding Kurt Cobain's life, Montage of Heck, Brett Morgen unearthed quite a bit of never-before-heard music from the legendary Nirvana singer.

The soundtrack for the documentary is set to be released next month, but one of its most anticipated songs hit the Internet today: Cobain's cover of the Beatles' "And I Love Her."

The lo-fi cover is almost chilling—a haunting yet beautiful acoustic version featuring only Cobain's voice and the strumming of his guitar.

The cover originally surfaced in April but was taken down shortly after. It's now officially available on Spotify.

The "And I Love Her" rendition is just one the 31-song soundtrack from the documentary. The album, titled Montage of Heck: Home Recordings, will also include early demos like "Scoff," "Sappy," "Been A Son," "Clean Up Before She Comes," and "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle."

The soundtrack will be released digitally and on CD Nov. 13 with a double-LP vinyl edition following shortly after on Dec. 4. The Blu-ray and DVD for the documentary will also be released on Nov. 13.

While it's been over 20 years since Cobain's death, the singer still holds a dear spot in many people's hearts—including his ex-wife Courtney Love.

In honor of their daughter Frances Bean Cobain's 23rd birthday in August, Love took to Instagram to pen a sweet letter to her late love. "My greatest love and our precious Bean #missyou #memories," she wrote of the throwback pic in which she and Kurt are lying in bed with their baby girl.

"Makes me feel so sad. Our baby is all grown up now. Jesus Kurt look at her face, what on earth were you thinking..?!?!" she wrote of another similar shot, adding, "God I miss you, we all miss you."

Cobain's daughter—who was just over a year old when he died—served as the executive producer on Montage of Heck.  

She said of the film, "It touches on some dark subjects but at the end of the day, I think that the film provides fans of Nirvana and not fans of Nirvana a basic understanding of who Kurt was as a human being and I think that's been lost within the romanticism and the myth of him and his story. What this movie will provide, hopefully, is a real understanding of who he was and I like he'd be really proud to have this movie made about him, so I'd like to thank Brett [Morgan, director] a lot."
