Description: for mixing training
Additional: Kurt wrote this song in mid-1987, and for seven years he persistently tried to make it “the best grunge song”, constantly going through variations of the lyrics and changing the arrangement: he was constantly dissatisfied with the result of working with this track. But he never managed to bring his brainchild to the expected maturity. There are 4 or 5 versions of this track. Many consider Sappy to be Cobain’s best original song, but it was not included in any album: only in bootleg collections. Initially, the track had the working title “Sad”. The most advanced version of the track was recorded and mixed in 1993 by American sound engineer Steve Albini during the recording of the album “In Utero”, and was released only in 2004. However, it was constantly performed at concerts by Nirvana, from 87 to 94.
A little history of the group Nirvana
The Seattle group Nirvana is one of the last truly cult bands in the history of rock (if we assume that rock music still exists). Nirvana was not the inventor of grunge, but it was thanks to its grandiose breakthrough that this direction and “alternative” in general entered the mainstream, and, accordingly, the establishment; the name and image of the group itself are now synonymous with the “sound of the 90s”. The history of the band was as successful as it was tragic: the gap between external popularity and internal self-perception served as one of the main (at least, it seems so today) reasons for the voluntary departure from life of the band’s leader Kurt Cobain and the breakup of Nirvana. In 1994, Kurt Cobain, under the influence of drugs, shot himself in the head with a gun. Part of his ashes were scattered in a Buddhist temple in New York, another – in the river near his home in Washington state, and the last part was kept until recently in the house of his widow Courtney Love, but in June 2008 the ashes disappeared along with jewelry, as a result of the “work” of intruders.
The track was recorded by:
Kurt Cobain – vocals, guitar
Krist Novoselic – bass guitar
Dave Grohl – drums, backing vocals
