Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Something In The Way. By Songfacts®.

Kurt Cobain wrote "Something In The Way" about his life. He talks about living under a bridge, which he claimed happened when he got kicked out of the house and had to live under a nearby bridge. He expresses his feelings and emotions by saying "something in the way" - he thought everything was in the way every time he tried to feel better.

Nirvana performed this on their MTV Unplugged appearance shortly before Cobain's suicide.

When recording this song, Kurt Cobain whispered his vocals so quietly that producer Butch Vig had to turn his recording levels all the way up.
