Anyone else really love this Nirvana song?? I can't get enough of it. I was watching the NEVERMIND documentary a few weeks ago and the producer said Kurt recorded that song on a couch almost whispering the lyrics. You guys should watch the documentary if you are a Nirvana fan.

"Something In The Way"

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals are trapped
And have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings

Something in the way ah ahhh
Something in the way yeah ah ahh
Something in the way ah ahh
Something in the way yeah ah ahh
Something in the way mmm
Something in the way yeah ah ahhh

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals are trapped
And have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from my ceiling
It's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings
If You Give, You Begin To Live

But You Might Die Trying

    I love this song, one of Kurts best. Its just so haunting how he sings it and the chord progression is also haunting. It creeped me out in a good way the first time I heard it.

    This is one of my all time favourite songs. I love listening to it late at night, falling asleep when it ends, and then waking up again when "endless, nameless" kicks in..
  • amazing song , absolutley amazing

    if anyone ever heard of the Burning Brides the do a great cover of this tune as well, its pretty cool

    And this song is especially powerful in jarhead...
    Power without Perception is virtually useless and therefore of no true value

    Yeah I was on the way back home from my grandmas and I had Nevermind in my portable cd player, I wasnt driving, I fell asleep. When I woke up that song was on, it was so weird to wake up to, but also very nice and very calming, kinda kept me in that sleepy state.

    and very easy to learn how to play
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Excellent call Low_Light03!!!! I fuckiN LOVE this song. Easily my fav on Nevermind and one of my favs EVER...period! It's so dark, so eery and soooo beautiful. :o As someone else mentioned, that chord progression is just haunting. I always get lost in this song everytime I hear it. Kurt's voice totally stands out too!!! YES! Thank you for mentioning the NEVERMIND documentary! I love that thing! Being behind the sound board and there in the studio reliving the creative process....it totally made me appreciate the songs I already adored in a whole new light ya know? To actually hear about how this one was recorded?? Damn! How amazing was that? :o Kurt kept saying "it's not quiet enough". :o Well I think the man got it DOWN...without a doubt. Fuckin amazing song! Very cool to see an appreciation thread for this hauntingly beautiful work of art. :)
