  • Song Author: Kurt Cobain
    Writing Period: 1988
    Working Titles: Sad / Trophy
    Date: 2-3 January 1990
    Place: Reciprocal Recording, Seattle, Washington
    Arguably the most unnecessary and uneconomical session Nirvana ever recorded. Kurt Cobain was determined to record Sappy as he wanted it to sound, devoting a whopping 10 hours studio time to that end. Jack Endino was bemused, "I couldn't figure out why they even bothered with it. It seemed like such B-side material next to their other stuff."
    "Even Sub Pop was kind of puzzled by it", Endino remarked. "And there was no reason to record it right then, no single was planned or anything. Going through all that trouble just for one song is not a efficient use of time or recording money."
    "Part of what took a long time was getting a drum sound", explained Endino. "Because they literally wanted a Steve Albini drum sound. They wanted a lot of room mics, and frankly the room at Reciprocal was a lousy room to put room mics in; it was very dead sounding."
    "We spent a lot of time experimenting with reverbs and gated room mics and just doing lots of strange stuff during the mix", Endino recalled. It proved a wasted effort, as the track was consigned to the vaults until it's inclusion on Sliver: The Best Of The Box in 2005.
    From the compilation album Sliver: The Best of the Box
    Lyrics
    And if you save yourself, you will make him happy
    He'll keep you in a jar, then you'll think you're happy
    He'll give you breathing holes, then you'll think you're happy
    He'll cover you with grass, then you'll think you're happy
    Now
    You're in a laundry room
    You're in a laundry room
    Conclusion came to you
    Now if you kill yourself, you will make him happy
    He'll keep you in a jar, then you'll think you're happy
    He'll give you breathing holes, then you'll think you're happy
    He'll cover you with grass, then you'll think you're happy
    Now
    You're in a laundry room
    You're in a laundry room
    Conclusion came to you
    You're in a laundry room
    You're in a laundry room
    Conclusion came to you
    And if you fuck yourself, you will make him happy
    He'll give you fighting holes, then you'll think you're happy
    He'll give you breathing holes, then you'll think you're happy
    You'll wallow in your shit, then you'll think you're happy
    Now
    You're in a laundry room
    You're in a laundry room
    You're in a laundry room
    Conclusion came to you

    the drummer rules this song
    edit: this song is named Verse Chorus Verse,.. not sappy (3rd part he sings: "and if you fuck yourself", thats verse chorus verse lyrics, + the high tune he is singing)
    This is the real verse chorus verse,.. all other versions are sappy and played differently btw.
    90% of youtube versions name of this song is wrong.

    • @ameliabaroni2650
      @ameliabaroni2650 Před rokem +1

      Ok, I decided to responde to clarify things a bit
      The original title of this song was Sad in 1988 and then it got called Sappy from 1989 to 1990 where was actually played live quite a bit
      Then in 1993 it was released in the No Alternative album as Verse Chorus Verse, since Kurt wanted so much a song with that name
      Now, people still refer to this as Sappy, since there is another Verse Chorus Verse, played in between 1990 and 1991 live and recorded in the Nevermind sessions but never came to the album(God knows why)
      So to not create confusion between the two songs, people refer to Verse Chorus Verse(1993) with the original title of Sappy, and the other as Verse Chorus Verse(in most bootlegs, you will find it as "In his Hands". However the title has been proven false)

      @andifyousaveyoursoul7271 Před 8 lety +1

      or maybe this -- A song barely anyone knows about by Nirvana. The song is genious and is about doing things to make yourself happy for a temporary time and then realizing where you are and how its ruining your life. The main example of the song is doing drugs to calm you down for a short period of time and then you snap back into reality. This sounds ironic because Kurt does drugs but Kurt tried to get people to not do what he did like do drugs, smoke, and live a life of anger.
