      ​@@chrisdriver7776Kurt Cobain's lyrics tend to be completely up to interpretation. He would write something based on a subject that he chose for the song, but he writes it in a way that can be interpreted by so many different ways. You can get a song that you'll listen for the first time and think he's talking about politics or drug use, but ends up being about a eating fish, planting a house and building a tree or something.
      It's not supposed to be taken so serious as many people do, you're free to interpret the lyrics however you want. At the end of the day, that's what Kurt Cobain and his punk rock philosophies were all about, freedom.

      @@deviousraul Yeah, Kurt Cobain was definitely a talent, and I think Nirvana is awesome in small doses... But ultimately his music is characterized by too much cynicism/nihilism/despair for me to listen very often, or to find a deep connection.
      Partially for these reasons, I've always preferred Vedder, who managed to strike a magical balance between aggressiveness, indignance, without ever losing touch with at least a hope and stubborn fight for something better.

      @@chrisdriver7776 that's good for you man, really. Eddie Vedder's stuff can be so dark and painful aswell, but in the end his enlightned persona always stands out, which in some way can actually be healthy, there is hope in his music.
      Kurt Cobain's art is intriguing and can be fascinating, but is so far from being healty. Going down that rabbit hole at 14 years old and trapping yourself in that bubble and you find that to be a way to cope with everything bad going on in your life at the time... years later I can tell that made me no good, apart from keeping me in a false sense of "comfort zone".
      When I first listened to the album Ten, it kind of made me walk away from Nirvana for some time and I could feel the difference, it's tremendous.

    The band did record a number of different versions of this tune, which was described as “elusive” in their official bio. I wound up hearing one of those myself, from someone who had a real rough demo rendition of it on a cassette. To my own ears, this sounds like the version they recorded with Steve Albini, who helmed their final studio album ‘In Utero’. And I say that because I hear the same Steve Albini/In Utero drum sound, specifically on the snare and kick. That was also the version added as a hidden track on the ‘No Alternative’ comp, from 1993, I believe. I think the band knew that if their song was listed it would eat up all the attention people gave that compilation. One last note is that of course there were different lyrics to different versions. I know you’re not a lyrics guy. But here the third and final verse starts with “And if you fool yourself…” While on the very rough demo I heard on cassette, it began with “And if you kill yourself.”

    Nirvana has been my favorite band since I was a child, and inspired me to pick up a guitar and sing. Literally by watching Kurt's and listening. For years people ask what is your favorite song? I have to say it may be this finally. The simplicity, the tone, the solo and ever moving basslines are just all encompassing. The fact that Kurt was never really satisfied with it as a songwriter I can completely identify with. I love every version of it.

    Id like to file a formal correction. Kurt was a good guitar player. He wrote these idelible riffs and uncanny and unnatural melodies. Might be easy for other players to replicate, but he wrote them. Maybe he didn't have the technical prowess of the players you mentioned, but he was never striving for that. He was a punk rocker, it's about real feeling and tge guitar was him screaming his rage, discord and unrest.

    @tescosniffer3671 Рік тому +3

    This track is interesting because Kurt was never fully satisfied with song, there was something about it that it just wasn't perfect to him no matter what him or the band did, it was never released on an official full length. He worked on it a lot and just wasn't sure what to do with it, he felt that it just wasn't complete and honestly I kind of get that feeling too. It's a really good tune but it almost feels like there's something missing, but it does what it needs to do and it fits it's purpose.

    • @manicfoot
      @manicfoot Рік тому +1

      I love Sappy. I also feel like something is missing from it, yet at the same time there's something oddly endearing about the riff and vocal melody.
      Despite Kurt not being satisfied with it, I think Sappy is still a decent example of his songwriting. Someone else could come up with the riffs in the song, but there are few, if any apart from Kurt that would choose to sing those notes over them.

  • @--thatbih
    @--thatbih Рік тому

    It was a scratch take during the In Utero sessions but ultimately was scraped last minute. The reason this song is so popular amongst Nirvana fans is not only because the topic his lyrics speak on but because it dates back to the late 80's when the band was just starting out. There's even a demo from 1990. However as much as it's a great song he didn't think it would fit on any of their albums. So for now all we have of the song is demos, live shows and this scratch take.

    I feel like Nirvana's music isn't _supposed_ to be played "right." Playing it "right" feels _wrong_ on a deep, fundamental level. The chords aren't supposed to be right, the vocals aren't supposed to be pitch-perfect, even the lyrics aren't really supposed to be the same each time a song is played. These aren't songs _about_ being "right." They're about being _wrong,_ and I think this is a great song to demonstrate that with-- it's a song all about that illusion of perfection and of the pain we put ourselves through to sustain it in the blind hope that if we debase ourselves enough for the amusement of others, someday it might actually be true. But it never _will_ be true. The _truth_ is we're trapped in a jar, wallowing in shit, stuck in a laundry room where we were never meant to be. Decaying city of flesh, broken clock ringing forever on hours that never change, _and we need to get out._ If the note is "wrong" but it sounds good, why are we calling it "wrong?" If we're always "happy" but everything hurts, why are we calling it "happy?" When we stop lying to ourselves about it, maybe then we'll actually be able to break free from it.
