Heard both of these songs on the radio today, and one should be simple and the other provide a challenge. 1. I’m certain it’s one of the new Nirvana songs, but it isn’t “You Know You’re Right.” Making them happy is a recurring theme. 2. Sounds like an '80s song. Rock. The singer had a semi-monotonous voice, and no chorus that stood out (I turned it on halfway through, though). One lyric states that, “nothing changes.” In the background there’s a subtle but catchy keyboard (?) riff. Any help? ---

The first one might be Nirvana’s “Sappy” [http://www.absolutelyric.com/a/view/Nirvana/Sappy/](http://www.absolutelyric.com/a/view/Nirvana/Sappy/) or “Verse Chorus Verse” [http://www.absolutelyric.com/a/view/Nirvana/Verse%20Course%20Verse/](http://www.absolutelyric.com/a/view/Nirvana/Verse%20Course%20Verse/) ---

…although, if it was on the radio, it’s probably the second one. They’re basically the same lyrics, just changed up a bit.
