== Song Origin == {{Infobox song |name = Something in the Way |Cover = Nirvana something in the way by wedopix-d38wpk8.jpg |Cover size = 250px |Recorded = May/June 1991 at Sound City, Van Nuys and Devonshire, North Hollywood |Length = 3:52 |Producer = [[Butch Vig]] |Genre = Alternative, Alternative rock, Emo, Acoustic, Grunge, Rock}} '''''Something in the Way''''' was written in 1990 by Kurt Cobain, and it was performed by him for the first time on November 25, 1990, at the Off Ramp Café in Seattle. It is the final song on Nirvana's second album, ''[[Nevermind]]''. The song was played on an acoustic guitar and the vocals were done by Kurt outside of the recording room. It was thought that "Something in the Way" was written during a time in which[[ Kurt Cobain]], was homeless and slept underneath a bridge in his native town, Aberdeen, Washington. This myth, propagated by Cobain, was refuted in 2001 with the publication of his biography ''Heavier than Heaven'', written by Charles Cross, who affirmed that if Cobain really had spent nights underneath the bridge mentioned in the song, he would have been in danger of being swept away by the tide of the Wishkah River. In fact, Cobain had passed his time sleeping at the houses of his friends, where he also left his possessions in cardboard boxes during the daytime. He also allegedly slept in waiting rooms of hospitals in the town.
