Sappy-Nirvana (With Lyrics)

[@Hollman36]

One of NIRVANA's best, most underrated songs

Agreed

[@deathhblow]

[@kayleighl4512]

I like kurt cobains version better

[@lormanias]

omg, what a lyrics.. Kurt was a genious..

[@kurtcobainslonelygirl9319]

Lorenzo Manias apparently it's about a turtle 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@exononymous9842]

Kurt Cobain's Lonely girl which is what makes it so genius

[@embienit7497]

its about a guy having a girl locked in a laundry room and he rapes her, js

[@fanceapa6355]

@@embienit7497 it's about his pet turtle

[@Cashonthestickz]

Ahhhhhh sorry I got scared

[@JDR71326]

[@imran8444]

Probably the most underrated song of Nirvana

[@drumheadnate]

that man still and will be an icon forever!. don't hate.he was a true being of love that tried to better the world with what he had.nuff said

[@MsSwaggy1234]

nuff lol

[@tadomeka7892]

The solo is amazing I love it so much

[@donweatherwax9318]

The first time I heard this song was the totally undocumented at the very end of the NO ALTERNATIVE collection, which I'd bought for the Uncle Tupelo cut (😂) and had no idea it was even there. (as a result of it not even being in the liner notes, for years I thought this song was "Verse Chorus Verse", which is too bad because that's one of my favorite song titles... shrug) Still getting over my shock (is this, wait, is that _Nirvana!?)_ , and then I heard the solo start, and actually thought for just a second, oh no, it couldn't be Nirvana... he never does solos like that! Then he brought it down for a landing (2:10) and I knew it was him. RIP.

[@natashalopez8285]

Apparently it's about his turtle but the lyrics make it sound like it could be about an abusive relationship.

[@dustinslaymaker8574]

Original version was about his life after leaving his mothers house. Check it out. Kurt Cobain - Sappy

[@ChrisPBacon-xn9up]

Natasha Lopez To me it seems like he's talking about religion. Especially with that first line about "saving yourself."

[@georgewhite4774]

Natasha Lopez listen to the words think about you as a child catching a bug putting it in a jar putting some grass and they're poking holes in the lid for breathing holes and putting it in the laundry room window cell get a clue or should I say the clue came to you in the laundry room duh

[@grungeisdead8998]

Natasha Lopez yeah it does

[@AnonYmous-wu4kz]

I thought this was about religion..

[@ekimenots9343]

This is hands down one of my favorite Nirvana songs ... we miss your thoughts Kurt ... RIP

[@aprild.9784]

You can tell by these lyrics that kurt was very smart.

[@SkorpioN42069]

Honestly if Kurt decided to make a music video for this it probably would’ve ended up having 100M views on YT

[@rootsmand1271]

The guitar solo with that Bassline makes me happy....

[@re8304]

That same part brings tears to my eyes. dky

[@BM151]

My favorite song of theirs... this was recorded during the In Utero Sessions, but never made it on

[@ChromeKnives]

BM151 I read somewhere that it was from the bleach era

[@justopatron1143]

self-hating suicidal bastard it is from the bleach era

[@josegurrola2239]

@@justopatron1143 This version was recorded during the in utero sessions, but yes the song was written in the bleach era

Nah dude it's from Bleach.

[@garyblackburn3080]

@MemesCookie 14 hmmm...shit you sure man? Thanks for the knowledge.

[@stinkybojangles4128]

Kurt May not be the most technically sound guitarist, but he is a really underrated guitarist. His solos on songs like this, Man Who Sold the World, and Smells Like Teen Spirit are really good! Plus he's written riffs that have inspired plenty of musicians (including myself). He is very underrated and is a brilliant lyricist/songwriter. He's a legend.

[@chriscurrie1234]

David bowie wrote the man who sold the world

[@donweatherwax9318]

Agree. KC usually disdained solos or just re-did the main melody as a bridge. But here, as if to show he could, he does a terrific little solo.

[@justjust3100]

Finally someone said it🙌

[@imnotgoodatguitar7012]

School mate school that’s a well good solo

[@rebeccadoss3461]

Nirvana use to purposely play their instruments out of tune, it was a part of the sound. Kurt was actually a very skilled musician and most of his band mates played multiple instruments.

[@somethinghere3984]

Love how he made this song ab his turtle and it sounds like an abusive relationship😂😂

[@princevegeta7609]

best nirvana song ever

[@frogs4335]

one of the most underrated songs by kurt

[@lisamarple8873]

Which is pretty funny when you consider it was written about Kurt's pet turtle that, literally, lived in his laundry room. But even something so, seemingly weird and irrelevant can have a lot of deeper meaning/truth/insights when you really consider it.

[@timeandtide5056]

He'll keep you in a jar , give you breathing holes, cover you with grass & you'll think you're happy. Devil's lettuce or whatever substance or emotion. There's a lot of room for interpretation in music. A song's meaning to you does not have to be defined on Google.

Greetings from Thaïland Chilean friend, thanks for the upload :)

[@sjs711345]

He was the best poet to ever know how to write music imo

[@IYC0370]

IMHO I would have to disagree and i love Kurt & Nirvana - and they are my favourite band of all time! RIP Kurt Donald Cobain 🙏🏼 However the best poet ever was the man who wrote Keep Ya Head Up and Dear Mama - and the lyrics are still quoted to this day! RIP Tupac Amaru Shakur 🙏🏼

[@humbertojimmy]

Well, musicians aren't exactly "writers" in the traditional sense. But if i had o pick one, i'd take Lou Reed probably. But Kurt was ok too.

[@rebeccadoss3461]

He was a great writer...however you should read cake lyrics..

[@rebeccadoss3461]

Or hell Tom Waits lyrics...

[@NJGAMER_12]

It took me a day to learn the solo on guitar and I thought it would take weeks. Kurt is really good at making easy solos sound hard

[@blumacho23]

Literal chills going through my body from this song

[@danieladams8085]

Another great song of Nirvanas i heard i love it. This song would still keep up with this 2020 generation of music. Kurt was a very special guy sad he left too soon.

Perfect Covid lyrics.

i was like all i can hear is "you're in a laundry room" lol lemme check the lyrics wait what

[@analagrada899]

I really like nirvana,coz it make my self happy!!!!

[@indira.g2006]

Nobody seems to be talking about it- I think this song could be about OR be used for a woman in an abusive or/and manipulative relationship with man. The lyrics "and if you save your yourself, it will make him happy" means (to me) he'd want a virgin, Kurt referes to him wanting preference on her, bending her to his will, CUSTOMIZES his gf to how he wants her to look and act, like a doll. The reason I automatically thought he was describing virginity in a relationship (most likley hetero) was because that's a term a lot of people use on women who'd want to keep their virginity. "He'll keep you in jar" as if he's keeping her hidden away as a little pet to control, only for him. "You'll think your happy" is the manipulation part of it, he only acts sweet if it benefits him in the way that she's staying, and she's fooling and lying to herself thinking this is how a normal relationship between a man and women is supposed to be. It's like he's describing a relationship were the guy only keeps her around for sex and her body; he doesn't actually gave a shit about her. It's no secret Kurt was big on equality and all that stuff, but of course, lots of people are saying it was actually about his turtle!... lol, but ya...just a thought I had.

[@donweatherwax9318]

Btw, Cristóbal, great job with these. Normally I prefer my lyrics _sans_ punctuation, over pretty images. But your lettering (stark white words over empty darkness) and the exclamation points ("Nowwwww!") perfectly capture the weird, hearty-but-doomed vibe of this underappreciated song.

[@monkrydefunct3219]

[@Pckleballer11]

damn it seems pretty obvious to me, its about a woman in a cookie cutter relationship where she thinks she's happy but she's not. "You in a laundry room, conclusion came to you"..... "He'll give you breathing holes, and you'll think your happy"

[@TheSunday102]

Sappy was the name of his pet turtle he kept in his laundry room.

[@dustinslaymaker8574]

Laundry room actually refers to him being homeless and sleeping in a laundry room. This song is actually about him and his father. He never brought himself to blame his wife or his mother for any of the abuse he suffered from women.

[@chasingcrows3001]

Luxage he actually wrote it about his turtle

[@georgewhite4774]

Luxage you're way off base the song is about him as a child catching a bug putting it in a jar giving it breathing holes and he put it in the laundry room window cell get a clue listen to the words

[@mailecarvalho7835]

I thought it was about how women are shamed for their sexuality. think about it “and if you save yourself, you will make him happy”

he may have said it’s about a turtle, but think about it. it’s about how women are shamed for their sexuality. “if you save yourself, you will make him happy, he’ll keep you in a jar then you’ll think you’re happy” it’s saying that if you don’t save yourself you’re a “slut”.
