"You Know You're Correct" is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by lead vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. Information technology is the first song on the band's self-titled greatest hits anthology and the terminal song the band recorded before Cobain's expiry in April 1994.[1] Released officially on October ii, 2002 via DGC Records - eight years after the song was recorded - it is the concluding single credited to the band.

Unreleased for years, the song eventually became the center of a legal dispute between Cobain'south widow, Courtney Dear, and surviving Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, with each political party wanting information technology for a unlike release. It was besides the subject of a high-profile Internet leak, which led to the vocal being put into heavy rotation on radio stations effectually the world before its official release, despite finish and desist orders from Nirvana's record visitor, Geffen Records.

Released equally a promo single, "You lot Know You're Right" reached number one on both Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and Modern Stone Tracks charts.[2]

Origin and recording [edit]

"You Know Y'all're Right" was written in 1993. For years subsequently Cobain's expiry in Apr 1994, it was known only from a bootlegged live version, recorded on October 23, 1993, at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois, and from a operation of the song past the American rock band Hole, which featured Love on vocals and guitar, during the band'southward MTV Unplugged assault February 14, 1995.

A studio version was recorded by Adam Kasper at Nirvana's final session, on Jan xxx, 1994 at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, Washington, but had never appeared on bootlegs. The band had booked the studio for three days during a bout intermission, simply Cobain had been absent for the starting time two days, leaving Novoselic and Grohl to work on their own songs. Upon Cobain's inflow on the third day, he immediately went to the studio's mixing console and listened to the textile his bandmates had recorded, offering support.[3] Despite his apparent enthusiasm for the session, he had arrived at the studio without his gear, and ended up using a Univox guitar that the band'southward guitar technician, Ernie Bailey, had reworked for him, along with the studio'due south 50 Watt Marshall amp, which he disliked, and a pedal board with a Boss distortion pedal.[3]

The ring jammed for approximately 20 minutes, and so began working on the system of "Y'all Know You're Right", so known as "Kurt's Melody #1". According to a May 2004 Mojo article by Gillian Thousand. Gaar, the band apposite the song three times, with the structure "pretty well hashed out" on the first take, and the chiming intro featured in the concluding version, achieved by Cobain playing the guitar in a higher place the nut, showtime appearing on the tertiary take.[iii] Robert Lang, the studio'south owner, recalled being "speechless" hearing the song while in the control room with Kasper.[four]

After recording the master instrumental take, the band and others present at the recording session took a suspension abroad from the studio to visit a local pizzeria and for Cobain to buy cigarettes, and then returned and recorded another instrumental song, titled "Jam Afterward Dinner".[3] Cobain so recorded the vocals to "You lot Know You're Correct," completing the master vocals in one accept, and then adding ii boosted vocal overdubs.[3] These were the only vocals that Cobain recorded during the session. His final contribution to the recording was a guitar overdub.[4] Novoselic and Grohl recorded six more songs without Cobain, who had likely left by then, after signing the studio door and adding a cartoon of a cat adjacent to his signature.[iii]

Nirvana'south second guitarist, Pat Smear, lived in Los Angeles and was non present during the session. In a 2002 interview with the website Nirvana Fan Club, he said Cobain had sent him a cassette of the recording and told him he could add his function later. The band dissolved before Smear had the risk.[five] The band reportedly planned to go on work at Lang'southward studio after their upcoming European tour, but Cobain died merely over two months later, after cancelling the tour and returning to Seattle.[4]

Release [edit]

Novoselic took the masters of the recordings home with him after the session, and kept them in his basement until 1998, when work began on a Nirvana box prepare. Although Dear'southward lawsuit in 2001 delayed the box set'southward release, the song, now retitled "Y'all Know You're Right", was mixed on July 14 and 15 of that yr at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California, in anticipation of its release. According to Novoselic, the last mix does non sound significantly unlike from the way it sounded when it was recorded in 1994, with the most dramatic changes being the addition of compression and reverb.[3]

"You Know Y'all're Correct" remained unreleased for years, and became the middle of a legal dispute between Dearest and the surviving members of Nirvana. Grohl and Novoselic had wanted the vocal for the planned box set. Love blocked its release, saying that the vocal would be "wasted" on a box set, and would be better suited to a single-disc collection similar to the Beatles' compilation album 1.[half dozen] Her lawsuit called the song a "potential 'hit' of boggling artistic and commercial value", and her manager asserted that a release with the song could sell 15 million copies.[vii] Novoselic said he did not necessarily disagree with Love: "I've always considered everything she said. We've considered information technology and agreed and said, 'Hey, that's a nifty idea, Courtney.' I tried to get along with Courtney as all-time I could, simply there's only so much you can do."[six]

In 2000, Love played the song at a private event in Hollywood. In November the post-obit yr, Love provided a portion of the song air on the NBC television plan Access Hollywood, for which she was being interviewed.[8] In May 2002, 4 boosted clips were leaked. Grohl denied claims that the leak had come from advance copies of his heavy metal side projection Probot, saying he had never copied any version of the song for anyone.[8]

On September 21, 2002, an unmastered MP3 of the full studio version of "You Know You're Right" leaked online. It was quickly put in rotation past a number of alternative rock radio stations, which led to cease-and-desist messages being issued by Geffen. A number of stations defied the orders. The Seattle radio station 107.7 The Cease posted a banner on their website that announced: "We took your e-mails and flooded the server at Geffen Records with tons of choice words about their 'You Know You're Right' cease and desist gild. Due to the huge publicity outcry, the label has released the track. Hear NEW Nirvana all this weekend, only on 107.7 The Stop."[nine]

In late September, Love, Grohl and Novoselic released a joint statement announcing that the lawsuit had been settled, and that "You Know You're Right" would be officially released on the Nirvana greatest hits album afterward that twelvemonth.[four] It was eventually released as a promo single, with a music video directed past Chris Hafner. The vocal was re-released on Nirvana's second greatest hits compilation, Icon, in 2010.

Composition [edit]

"You lot Know You're Right" is an alternative rock song that lasts for a duration of three minutes and thirty-seven seconds.[10] According to the sheet music published at Sheet Music Plus past EMI Music Publishing, it is written in the time signature of common fourth dimension, with a moderately slow tempo of 84 beats per infinitesimal.[10] "You Know You're Right" is equanimous in the key of F minor, while Kurt Cobain'south vocal range spans one octave and three notes.[10] The vocal follows a basic sequence of F5–D ♭ –E ♭ in the verses and pre-chorus and is mainly restricted to a droning chord of F5 throughout the refrain as its chord progression.[ten]

Release and reception [edit]

"You lot Know Y'all're Right" became Nirvana's 4th song to enter the Billboard Hot 100 nautical chart, peaking at number 45.[xi] It was the band's fifth song to accomplish number 1 on the Billboard Modern Stone Tracks chart,[12] where it remained for iv consecutive weeks, the longest of any Nirvana song.[13] With an increment of 1,616 spins, Nirvana also broke the record for the largest detected leap by an human action already on the chart.[xiii] It also became Nirvana'southward first song to peak the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, beating their previous peak of number three, accomplished by both "Come up as You Are" in April 1992 and "Virtually A Girl" in December 1994.[xiv]

Amy McAuliffe from BBC chosen the vocal "a poignant reminder of what might have been" and described it equally "listening to a dead man snarling out his concluding gasp of righteous sarcasm."[15] Will Hermes of Spin remarked that it was "amazing how a merely practiced Nirvana song still scorches everything within earshot."[16] David Samuels of Slate wrote that "dissimilar almost mail service-mortem rock releases, 'Y'all Know You're Correct' is non B-side material or the consequence of recording studio wizardry—it's a real Nirvana song" that showed that "Cobain was at the acme of his powers every bit a vocaliser and songwriter—the nearly gifted and popular writer that stone music had seen since Lennon/McCartney."[17] Too, Larry Flint from Billboard stated, "Unlike about previously unreleased cuts tacked onto best-of sets, 'You Know You're Correct' is a potent add-on to Nirvana's cache of classic material."[18]

"You Know You're Right" was ranked at the fifth best single of the twelvemonth past Spin, with Charles Aaron calling it a "gnarly little middle-shaped box crammed with feedback, bile, and a gut-shredding chorus."[19] In 2002, the song received a BDS Spin Accolade for fifty,000 radio spins in the Usa,[20] and in 2003 it received a BDS accolade for 100,000 radio spins in the U.s..[21]

In 2011, it was ranked at number two on NME's list of the 10 best Nirvana songs.[22] In 2015, Rolling Stone listed information technology at number 21 on their ranking of 102 Nirvana songs.[23] The song's producer, Adam Kasper, called information technology "one of their best songs, probably in the Top Ten."[4]

Grohl reflected on the song in a 2019 interview with The Guardian, telling interviewer Eve Barlow that "I listened to it for the first time in ten years. Oh God, it'south difficult to listen to. It was not a pleasant fourth dimension for the ring. Kurt was unwell. Then he was well. And so he was unwell. The final year of the band was tough." In addition to calling the lyrics "heartbreaking" in hindsight, Grohl added that "I used to retrieve information technology sounded like [Cobain] was singing the chorus. At present I listen to information technology and it'due south similar he's wailing."[24]

In May 2020, American director Cameron Crowe revealed in an interview with Stereogum that he had subconscious the studio recording of "You Know Yous're Right," given to him by Love, in his pic Vanilla Sky, which was released almost a yr prior to the vocal'due south official release. "We couldn't credit it in the picture show and it was actually illegal," Crowe explained, "but Courtney Love gave it to the states. She said, 'This is the just Nirvana vocal that's never been released. Hide it in your picture somewhere.'[25]

Title [edit]

"You Know You're Correct" did not have an official title at the time of Cobain's expiry in April 1994. Co-ordinate to Gaar's 2002 Mojo article, it was listed simply equally "Kurt's Tune #ane" on the tracking sheets from the Robert Lang Studios recording session.[3] In 1995, it was performed every bit "You lot've Got No Right" past Hole at their MTV Unplugged appearance, and this title was about commonly used past fans prior to the release of the album Nirvana in 2002.

In the liner notes to Nirvana, Rolling Stone writer David Fricke erroneously states that the song had gone under the previous titles of "Autopilot" and "On a Mount". The latter championship was also cited by Charles Cross in his 2001 Cobain biography, Heavier Than Heaven.[26] : 306 These names were actually invented past bootleggers who had misheard Grohl'south comment at the beginning of the live version. Grohl had announced, "This is our terminal song; it'due south called 'All Apologies'",[27] unaware that Cobain had already started playing "You lot Know You're Right". Due to the relatively poor fidelity of the live recording, bootleggers believed Grohl had introduced the new song, and tried to interpret what they idea was its title. Cross besides seems to misrepresent the lyrics in Heavier Than Heaven, citing the lyric, "I am walking in the piss," which appears in Hole'south 1995 version of the vocal, merely in no known Nirvana recording.[26] : 306, 381

Music video [edit]

A music video for "You lot Know You're Right" was released in October 2002. Directed by Chris Hafner, it features a montage of band footage, drawn mostly from live performances and interviews, occasionally edited to give the outcome of the song being performed.[28] The video peaked at number two of the Billboard Video Monitor, a nautical chart of the most-played clips as monitored by the Nielsen Broadcast Information Systems, for the week ending Oct 20, 2002.[29]
