Very Ape (solo acoustic - 1993)
Nirvana · With The Lights Out [2004]
It's your heaven
It's your oven
It's your tired
It's a new way to make things used
It's in heaven if you never can find out
Haven't you seen
I am with you
It's another way to light thin fire
It's a reason that's all we can do
It's a lake
If you're sitting right out
(x5)
Now I'm insane
Now I'm with you
Hit some sun with your eyes
Hit some sun with your light
A da da dum da da da da
A da da dum da da da da
Now I can see
Now I'm with you
It's your oven
It's your tired
It's a new way to make things used
It's in heaven if you never can find out
Haven't you seen
I am with you
It's another way to light thin fire
It's a reason that's all we can do
It's a lake
If you're sitting right out
(x5)
Now I'm insane
Now I'm with you
Hit some sun with your eyes
Hit some sun with your light
A da da dum da da da da
A da da dum da da da da
Now I can see
Now I'm with you
Very Ape (solo acoustic - 1993)
This solo acoustic rendition of 'Very Ape' captures Kurt Cobain's raw songwriting ability stripped of the band's signature distortion. Originally recorded for the 1993 MTV Unplugged in New York session, the track showcases a more intimate and melancholic side of Nirvana's repertoire. The performance highlights Cobain's ability to convey deep emotion through minimal instrumentation, focusing entirely on his vocal delivery and guitar work. Included on the expansive 2004 box set With The Lights Out, this version stands as a testament to the band's versatility beyond their grunge anthems. It remains a cherished piece for fans exploring the quieter moments within the group's celebrated discography.
