listen to the fan made remastered version of the in utero song, it sound clear and beutiful, but after listening to it a few times i can feel there is something missing
Smart Sessions is the most interesting to me in terms of musical dynamics. And there’s just something quite mysterious about the overall sound, something creepy even that the other versions don’t have.
@@rob1973ablesmart session feels so unfinished tbh I can see why it was scrapped with the kick bein a lil weird in the beginning. The other version recorded for Nevermind is the best out of all of them imo, sounds so much more finished and clear
For me, smart sessions is one of the best versions, if you hear carefully.. You will hear Chad use tom, drum bass kick and floor tom along with crash rides for every part.. It's different from Dave which he used hi-hats for chorus and hit crash cymbals few times... In my opinion, this song should be like the smart session version
He was murdered by his wife, he wanted a divorce and he was more valuable to her dead than alive and divorced to him she got all the money and song rights
@@ahhcmon9604he was on a ton of heroin and blew his head off Read mark lanegans book, guy was asking for help and felt like he was done, he wasn’t murdered
After so many years, and Kurt being my inspiration to pick up a guitar and sing...I have to say this is my favorite Nirvana song. If I could only show someone one song of theirs, this would be it. There's a reason Kurt struggled with getting it right in his mind and wouldn't give up on it. It had to mean something special to him.
Easter 1994, first overseas trip. No internet back then. Bought the No Alternative album on cassette in Thailand. What a wonderful surprise to have Sappy on it. An unlisted hidden track. Had never heard it before. A couple of weeks later, at a cafe in Vietnam, I saw a week old newspaper with the news of Kurt's death. Numb.
@@verpeiler089 They sounded so bad I turned off the sound for a second cause I thought someone was banging on the floor above me but it was just the fuckin shit drums. And I love Chad Channing!
The smart session is always the best one in my opinion. I like how he is not screaming it and it's just a bland guitar playing. Gives it a straightforward approach and I love it!
@@jawknee2 yeah it sounds way more like a track that would have fit well on Nevermind or an upcoming album: Kurt did say that after in Utero he wanted to go try making a more folk and soft Nirvana album so this track would have fit well on that as well
A third studio version was recorded at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, CA in May 1991, but it is not included due to blockage by the record label. This version was intended for Nirvana's second album, Nevermind.
My personal favorite is the In Utero sessions one. It would've fit fine on the album, and I think it's wonderfully recorded too. Excellent production. In Utero is my favorite album of Nirvana, and 2nd favorite album of all time, so having more songs for it is amazing. Reciprocal is better than Smart Sessions, more intense vocals and rawer. Maybe the In Utero version draws from this more? The Cobain Residence demo is nice, it's the start of the song after-all. I always love Kurt's acoustic demos, especially on The Elmo Collection fan-boxset. Smart Sessions is too clean for me. Nevermind isn't a bad album, but it's just too clean and reverby. I don't think the vocals for Smart Sessions are nearly intense enough either.
I dont think that the Smart Sessions one really sound like Nevermind. Is it clean? Yeah, but it lacks the big sound Nevermind has. It kind of felt empty too me, like a lot of sound could have been filled.
I have no idea why this song disturbs and haunts me so much........I remember having various little creatures in pickle jars and the like with the grass in the bottom and the holes in the cap. I was not wealthy enough to have a laundry room......makes me think of the laundry room in the mobile home of my sister and her two kids. Today, I wonder if I am any better or worse.....my beautiful purebred dog might be no different that the crickets in my jars as a kid. Maybe everyone in my life is in a jar, of sorts.......wow.......
In Utero is the best one in my opinion. Its sound is so big and raw, I love it. And the vocals are also really great. I really wish Kurt could have recorded the vision he had in mind. Would have loved to listen to that.
I really like In Utero sessions one and Sad, but the most relaxing version is Sound City one (A Nevermind outtake) the guitar sounds pretty smooth, bass is crazy and drums are soft.
I like to think Kurt had in mind to record Sappy throughout his career and we’d hear an evolution of the band and technology. Yet another reason I wish The world had Kurt Cobain in if for a longer period of time.
Interesting. It wouldn't surprise me, that enigmatic little fucker. By 87, he may have already scripted his entire trajectory down to his last day on earth. He was on the cover of TIME again last month, and will continue to be puzzled over for generations.
Something about this song is so haunting. It's like the deepest part of Kurt's essence, the one white whale, the part of his music he was never satisfied with because it was _him._
just some info for the folks watching this. There is a 1991 major version that gets taken down from RUclips so u r gonna have to find it somehwere else and there is also a 1989 version from a live album that was never released with studio quality because it was taken directly from an unreleased soundboard recording
I appreciate them all in their own way, but the In Utero session will always be my personal favorite. That was the only one that anyone knew about for the longest time, and I still remember borrowing a friend's copy of the girl-on-the-cover version of No Alternative just to hear that song.
Todas as versões são magníficas assim como uma obra prima onde o pintor da um retoque na pintura! Essa música é um chute no saco da humanidade! Porque no final a grama vai crescer sobre nós!
The dislike is from the person Kurt kicked out on the New Years concert, during Jesus don’t want me for a sunbeam he kicked him out from the show for groping a girl or something
When I first heard this song years ago I thought the lyric was "you're livin in a locker room" until I heard better copies. In my head at least I still think the lyric kinda fits given the other lines and Kurt's feelings on school bullying and homophobia etc 🥴✌
And if you save yourself You will make him happy He'll keep you in a jar And you'll think you're happy He'll give you breathing holes And you'll think you're happy He'll cover you with grass And you'll think you're happy now You're in a laundry room You're in a laundry room The clues that came to you, oh And if you cut yourself You will think you're happy He'll keep you in a jar Then you'll make him 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 The clues that came to you, oh You're in a laundry room You're in a laundry room The clues that came to you, oh And if you fool 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 will seem happy You'll wallow in the 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 The clues that came to you, oh
Ik everyone says some of the recordings are good and that he should’ve settled with one of them. But I wanna hear the way he really wanted sappy to sound, like the whole song in its truest form, that he created.
Cobain laid down his guitar and walked straight into the control room. ‘I don’t want to do this,’ he insisted. ‘I’m not into this song right now. So let’s leave it.’ Is a pretty good version but Kurt didn't want to do it.
@@Astr_umVibes there wasn’t a single version of the song that he can truthfully say he really wanted to do. There’s a reason it had been recorded for every album but didn’t make it on a single one.
The Smart Sessions version has kinda of a Spanish feeling, but also feels more calm, for me even though it's not my favorite it's the one I find most interesting
I want to think this is a personal reflection of his mom and dad. Apparently they were not happy and Kurts dad got remarried and Kurts mom gave custody to his dad. Kurt loved his mom the most while his dad was abusive to Kurt, his mom and i think to his sister to. Maybe Kurt wanted to express his own sadness with the song. Especially for the first version in his resodence. Another could be with Courtney. He wanted to love but he got hurt way too many times from her and Kurt wanted to express that version. Kurt was happy with Francis but not with Courtney. Just two good guesses for the songs meaning
it is great song and all versions are enjoyable, arrangment wise i think chads constant notes on ride were pointless and dave improved it, plus he just has more power, basswise i like it when krist deviates from just playing root notes, i think in utero version has some of it. so i think they made it better.
Kurt never liked any of the versions they recorded. I wonder what he had in mind because it seems like he nailed it while recording In Utero.
For sure!
I think that he changed his mind after each recording, that’s why most of them are so different
I think the Smart session is the best especially the solo on that one, yeah I wonder why he didn't settle on any one of these

It’s the solo.
The 1987 home version was the first version I ever heard. Still so haunting and my personal favorite.
Mine too
I feel the same way
How is so many peoples first heard version the newest released one ?
@@owenbrown1070 must be super young people. First version I heard was the no alternative one back in 93 or whenever that came out.
got chills all over when it started
The production value on the In Utero version is by far the best. My favorite solo of them all too.
It’s my favorite guitar solo of all time
Me too the vocals in the beginning are killer
The best song of nirvana
Have you heard the Sound City version? That one's my favourite.
My favorite Nirvana solo of any song
Smart Sessions is the most interesting to me in terms of musical dynamics. And there’s just something quite mysterious about the overall sound, something creepy even that the other versions don’t have.
Agreed..smart sesh...best one
Yeah, you can definitely hear a more pop influence on this version, which makes sense cause they we're gearing up for their masterpiece

There's something that the '87 demo has that none of the other versions have; a tinge of despair that old Delta blues tracks have.
it's closer to the version that inspired Kurt from the band Green River (Mudhoney) “Baby help me forget“ 1984
In Utero session is the Best!!
Согласен
Nah smart sessions in my opinion
And finally nails the guitar solo
It isn’t. Now go eat tuna.
I always liked the raw garage sound of the Reciprocal Sessions version of this.
Yes, same
Yes, only the drums sound complete garbage, especially the toms.
I feel like the smart studios is a little more raw in my opinion
@@verpeiler089 They sounded so bad I turned off the sound for a second cause I thought someone was banging on the floor above me but it was just the fuckin shit drums. And I love Chad Channing!
@@rubbersoul420 Its just the bad EQ
He definitely got that solo down eventually.
The smart session is always the best one in my opinion. I like how he is not screaming it and it's just a bland guitar playing. Gives it a straightforward approach and I love it!
You haven’t heard the sound city demo yet then, it’s unplugged esque, there’s only distortion in the solo
Yes I love how smooth and melodic it is
I couldn't agree more 💯🔥
No idea why they didn’t include it on In Utero - they had the best version
It’s a good song but didn’t really fit in utero.
@@jawknee2 yeah it sounds way more like a track that would have fit well on Nevermind or an upcoming album: Kurt did say that after in Utero he wanted to go try making a more folk and soft Nirvana album so this track would have fit well on that as well
What about it didn't fit In Utero? I'd take this over "Very Ape" any day.
For anyone reading, this isn't every major recording of Sappy. The Sound City version is missing
If you read the description it would tell you why, it was blocked by whatever country or record thing so they couldn’t include it
Yes, it's less deceptive now.
@@TRC2002 Probably because it's the same song.
yea

Smart Sessions is too clean for me. Nevermind isn't a bad album, but it's just too clean and reverby. I don't think the vocals for Smart Sessions are nearly intense enough either.
The problem is that In Utero flows perfectly and Sappy would have cut the track sequencing out of the optimum state it's in.
The smart sessions guitar solo is the most emotional out of the bunch to say the least
@@RiverObsidian I disagree. For me it's the most confused solo. I prefer the one from In Utero session by really really really much.
I dont think that the Smart Sessions one really sound like Nevermind. Is it clean? Yeah, but it lacks the big sound Nevermind has. It kind of felt empty too me, like a lot of sound could have been filled.

No way Underpants man.
Yes, any other tow drummer, definitely
The in utero session is the best one.
Is Steel Magnolias your favorite movie?
That guitar solo on Smart Sessions!
Dave's drums are the best.
totally agree. the drums take the song to a new level.
Nao tem como comparar, a versao do In Utero Sessions é a melhor disparado (na minha opiniao, hehe)
This first Kurt alone demo one is the best version
87 and 93 are the best. Love the early fucked up solo version a lot. The 93 has perfect In Utero production value, so it fucking rules.
I like the first demo, but I think he was getting close to something special at the end. I feel like he would've probably added a twist to the song.
I so wish then wouldve put Sappy on In Utero. Would’ve fit in great as a more mellow section, maybe like a nice transition into Dumb or All Apologies
I’m genuinely baffled why the record label are still hellbent on keeping the 1991 Sound City recording of this song hidden over 30 years later
The In Utero Sessions for me. Albini was the perfect man for their sound imo.
In Utero version is very typical for Nirvana and it’s sound.
I appreciate them all in their own way, but the In Utero session will always be my personal favorite. That was the only one that anyone knew about for the longest time, and I still remember borrowing a friend's copy of the girl-on-the-cover version of No Alternative just to hear that song.
you can hear how kurt’s voice changed over the years throughout the recordings
In utero was the most energetic and punk out of all of them
Nevermind outtake is by far the best in my opinion
Thanks
the home demo and the in utero version are my fav
This song makes me want to cry so beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️🧍♂️🎸

While overall I prefer the Smart Sessions, you can absolutely tell the difference between Chad Channing and Dave Grohl's drumming
Dont forger about Sound City demo. Its the best one, but also I understand that you couldnt exactly publish it on youtube
I want to know the story behind the song “I hate myself….” That should have been on In Utero
Why not upload sappy nevermind outtake

The Smart Sessions version has kinda of a Spanish feeling, but also feels more calm, for me even though it's not my favorite it's the one I find most interesting

I want to think this is a personal reflection of his mom and dad. Apparently they were not happy and Kurts dad got remarried and Kurts mom gave custody to his dad.
