"You Know Yous're Right" is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written past lead vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. It is the offset vocal on the ring's cocky-titled greatest hits album and the last song the ring recorded before Cobain'southward death in April 1994.[1] Released officially on October 2, 2002 via DGC Records - eight years after the song was recorded - information technology is the final unmarried credited to the band.

Unreleased for years, the vocal eventually became the center of a legal dispute between Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, and surviving Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, with each political party wanting it for a different release. Information technology was too the bailiwick of a high-profile Internet leak, which led to the song beingness put into heavy rotation on radio stations around the world earlier its official release, despite cease and desist orders from Nirvana'due south record company, Geffen Records.

Released equally a promo unmarried, "Y'all Know You're Correct" reached number one on both Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and Mod Stone Tracks charts.[2]

Origin and recording [edit]

"You Know You're Correct" was written in 1993. For years after Cobain's death in April 1994, information technology was known but from a bootlegged live version, recorded on October 23, 1993, at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois, and from a performance of the vocal by the American stone band Hole, which featured Love on vocals and guitar, during the band's MTV Unplugged set on February xiv, 1995.

A studio version was recorded by Adam Kasper at Nirvana'due south concluding session, on January 30, 1994 at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, Washington, only had never appeared on bootlegs. The band had booked the studio for three days during a bout break, merely Cobain had been absent-minded for the first two days, leaving Novoselic and Grohl to work on their own songs. Upon Cobain'south arrival on the tertiary twenty-four hours, he immediately went to the studio's mixing console and listened to the material his bandmates had recorded, offer back up.[3] Despite his credible enthusiasm for the session, he had arrived at the studio without his gear, and ended upward using a Univox guitar that the band's guitar technician, Ernie Bailey, had reworked for him, along with the studio's 50 Watt Marshall amp, which he disliked, and a pedal board with a Dominate distortion pedal.[iii]

The ring jammed for approximately twenty minutes, and so began working on the arrangement of "You Know You're Right", then known equally "Kurt's Tune #i". According to a May 2004 Mojo article by Gillian G. Gaar, the band apposite the song three times, with the construction "pretty well hashed out" on the showtime take, and the chiming intro featured in the final version, accomplished past Cobain playing the guitar above the nut, first appearing on the third take.[iii] Robert Lang, the studio's owner, recalled being "speechless" hearing the vocal while in the control room with Kasper.[iv]

After recording the main instrumental have, the ring and others nowadays at the recording session took a break away from the studio to visit a local pizzeria and for Cobain to buy cigarettes, and then returned and recorded some other instrumental song, titled "Jam Subsequently Dinner".[iii] Cobain then recorded the vocals to "You lot Know You're Correct," completing the main vocals in 1 have, and and then adding two additional song overdubs.[iii] 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 calculation a drawing of a cat next to his signature.[3]

Nirvana's 2d guitarist, Pat Smear, lived in Los Angeles and was not nowadays during the session. In a 2002 interview with the website Nirvana Fan Lodge, he said Cobain had sent him a cassette of the recording and told him he could add together his part later. The ring dissolved before Smear had the chance.[5] The ring reportedly planned to go on work at Lang'due south studio after their upcoming European tour, but Cobain died just over 2 months afterwards, subsequently 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 set. Although Love'due south lawsuit in 2001 delayed the box set's release, the song, now retitled "You lot Know You're Right", was mixed on July 14 and 15 of that year at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California, in anticipation of its release. According to Novoselic, the final mix does non sound significantly unlike from the way information technology sounded when it was recorded in 1994, with the most dramatic changes being the improver of compression and reverb.[3]

"You Know You're Correct" remained unreleased for years, and became the center of a legal dispute between Love and the surviving members of Nirvana. Grohl and Novoselic had wanted the song for the planned box set. Love blocked its release, saying that the song would exist "wasted" on a box set, and would be improve suited to a single-disc collection similar to the Beatles' compilation album 1.[vi] Her lawsuit called the song a "potential 'hit' of boggling artistic and commercial value", and her manager asserted that a release with the vocal could sell 15 meg copies.[7] Novoselic said he did non necessarily disagree with Love: "I've always considered everything she said. Nosotros've considered it and agreed and said, 'Hey, that's a great idea, Courtney.' I tried to get forth with Courtney as all-time I could, simply there's just so much you can do."[half dozen]

In 2000, Love played the song at a individual event in Hollywood. In November the following year, Love provided a portion of the song air on the NBC television programme Access Hollywood, for which she was being interviewed.[8] In May 2002, four additional clips were leaked. Grohl denied claims that the leak had come from advance copies of his heavy metal side project 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 by a number of culling rock radio stations, which led to cease-and-desist messages beingness issued by Geffen. A number of stations defied the orders. The Seattle radio station 107.seven The End posted a banner on their website that appear: "Nosotros took your e-mails and flooded the server at Geffen Records with tons of selection words about their 'You Know You're Right' cease and desist order. Due to the huge publicity outcry, the label has released the runway. Hear NEW Nirvana all this weekend, only on 107.vii The End."[ix]

In belatedly September, Love, Grohl and Novoselic released a joint statement announcing that the lawsuit had been settled, and that "You Know You lot're Correct" would be officially released on the Nirvana greatest hits album afterwards that year.[4] Information technology was eventually released as a promo single, with a music video directed by Chris Hafner. The song was re-released on Nirvana's second greatest hits compilation, Icon, in 2010.

Composition [edit]

"You Know Yous're Right" is an culling stone song that lasts for a elapsing of 3 minutes and thirty-vii seconds.[10] According to the sheet music published at Sheet Music Plus by EMI Music Publishing, it is written in the time signature of common time, with a moderately slow tempo of 84 beats per minute.[10] "Yous Know You lot're Right" is composed in the key of F minor, while Kurt Cobain's vocal range spans one octave and iii notes.[10] The vocal follows a bones sequence of Fv–D ♭ –E ♭ in the verses and pre-chorus and is mainly restricted to a droning chord of F5 throughout the refrain equally its chord progression.[10]

Release and reception [edit]

"Yous Know You're Correct" became Nirvana'southward quaternary song to enter the Billboard Hot 100 nautical chart, peaking at number 45.[11] It was the ring'southward fifth vocal to reach number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart,[12] where it remained for iv consecutive weeks, the longest of any Nirvana song.[13] With an increase of ane,616 spins, Nirvana also broke the record for the largest detected spring by an act already on the nautical chart.[thirteen] It also became Nirvana's first vocal to tiptop the Billboard Mainstream Stone Tracks chart, chirapsia their previous peak of number 3, achieved by both "Come every bit You Are" in April 1992 and "Nigh A Girl" in December 1994.[xiv]

Amy McAuliffe from BBC called the song "a poignant reminder of what might have been" and described it as "listening to a dead human snarling out his final gasp of righteous sarcasm."[xv] Will Hermes of Spin remarked that it was "amazing how a merely good Nirvana song still scorches everything inside earshot."[16] David Samuels of Slate wrote that "dissimilar nearly post-mortem stone releases, 'You Know You're Right' is non B-side material or the effect of recording studio wizardry—it'due south a existent Nirvana vocal" that showed that "Cobain was at the height of his powers as a vocaliser and songwriter—the most gifted and popular author that rock music had seen since Lennon/McCartney."[17] Likewise, Larry Flint from Billboard stated, "Unlike most previously unreleased cuts tacked onto all-time-of sets, 'You Know You're Right' is a strong addition to Nirvana's enshroud of classic material."[18]

"You lot Know You're Correct" was ranked at the 5th best single of the year by Spin, with Charles Aaron calling it a "gnarly lilliputian middle-shaped box crammed with feedback, bile, and a gut-shredding chorus."[xix] In 2002, the song received a BDS Spin Award for 50,000 radio spins in the Usa,[20] and in 2003 information technology received a BDS award for 100,000 radio spins in the Usa.[21]

In 2011, information technology was ranked at number two on NME's listing of the ten all-time 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 it "ane of their all-time songs, probably in the Top X."[4]

Grohl reflected on the vocal in a 2019 interview with The Guardian, telling interviewer Eve Barlow that "I listened to it for the offset fourth dimension in x years. Oh God, it's hard to listen to. It was non a pleasant time for the band. Kurt was unwell. Then he was well. Then he was unwell. The last twelvemonth of the band was tough." In addition to calling the lyrics "heartbreaking" in hindsight, Grohl added that "I used to think it sounded like [Cobain] was singing the chorus. Now I listen to information technology and it'due south like 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 You're Right," given to him past Love, in his picture show Vanilla Sky, which was released most a yr prior to the vocal's official release. "Nosotros couldn't credit it in the picture and information technology was actually illegal," Crowe explained, "but Courtney Love gave information technology to us. She said, 'This is the only Nirvana song that's never been released. Hide it in your movie somewhere.'[25]

Championship [edit]

"You Know Yous're Right" did not have an official championship at the fourth dimension of Cobain'southward death in Apr 1994. Co-ordinate to Gaar's 2002 Mojo article, information technology was listed but equally "Kurt's Tune #ane" on the tracking sheets from the Robert Lang Studios recording session.[3] In 1995, it was performed equally "You lot've Got No Right" by Hole at their MTV Unplugged appearance, and this title was nearly normally used by fans prior to the release of the album Nirvana in 2002.

In the liner notes to Nirvana, Rolling Rock writer David Fricke erroneously states that the song had gone under the previous titles of "Autopilot" and "On a Mountain". The latter title was likewise cited by Charles Cross in his 2001 Cobain biography, Heavier Than Heaven.[26] : 306 These names were actually invented by bootleggers who had misheard Grohl's annotate at the get-go of the alive version. Grohl had announced, "This is our last song; it's called 'All Apologies'",[27] unaware that Cobain had already started playing "Yous Know Y'all're Correct". Due to the relatively poor fidelity of the alive recording, bootleggers believed Grohl had introduced the new song, and tried to translate what they idea was its title. Cantankerous also seems to misrepresent the lyrics in Heavier Than Sky, citing the lyric, "I am walking in the piss," which appears in Hole's 1995 version of the song, only in no known Nirvana recording.[26] : 306, 381

Music video [edit]

A music video for "You Know Y'all'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 vocal being performed.[28] The video peaked at number two of the Billboard Video Monitor, a nautical chart of the most-played clips as monitored past the Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems, for the week ending Oct xx, 2002.[29]
