Sappy / Verse Chorus Verse

Again a Nirvana song. Again, sung with a lone acoustic guitar. And again, by a lady with an irresistible voice. This time, with the name of Scout Niblett. Sappy was planned to come just before All Apologies in the album tracklist, but was omitted from it before its release. Later, the track 'appeared' in a compilation album of various artists as a hidden track.

Even if you are not one of those who are way too proud of smoking scandalous vegetation; even if you don’t wear Nirvana tee-shirts with a blown-up Cobain face; even if you can’t recite Cobain’s suicide note with all the comas correct when woken up from a late night slumber after a hard day; you can still be curious about the song that is considered to be Cobain’s most favourite song which he never was happy about, and its title that was assigned and reassigned to different songs at different times, and still is ambiguous.

Thanks man. got 'em. mine first sappy listen. didn't like the niblet cover too much though. all the raw sense of urgency is gone i think. i think it's kinda watered down. i think i'm dumb. Or maybe just happy....
