  • 'Something In The Way' Recorded 11/9/91. A radio broadcast recording for the BBC. A much louder, electric version than the official studio release. The hidden track 'Endless Nameless' appeared on a number of 'Nevermind' pressings by leaving this song playing after it's finish, approximately 13 minutes in. Most of these hae been converted from lossless audio .FLAC files.

      This is one of my favourite songs from Nirvana, it has that great atmosphere as you said...and yet Kurt always has those beautiful vocals. The guitar work and distortion on this version are impeccable.

    This WAS the original song. But they couldn't nail it in the recording studio. So Butch took Kurt aside and asked him to just play it on his guitar and that became the base for what turned out to be an acoustic song. So if youve ever wondered why Something in the Way is so different from the rest of Nevermind thats why. It was actually meant to be recorded like on this video. So this kind of is the original song.

    • @djinntoy
      @djinntoy 5 років тому +83

      No thats not right. Kurt went into the control room and said, "It's supposed to sound like this." And then did it. It's on the making Nevermind Classic Album documentary.

    • @TrojansOwl1
      @TrojansOwl1 4 роки тому +45

      @@djinntoy yes he said that because they couldn't nail the meter on the electric version. so kurt went in there and showed Butch how he wanted it to sound on acoustic guitar. then Butch made him play it acoustically and that's how they kept it. apparently kurt played the whole thing while lying on his back.

      @@mikepatrick3364 The first live performance (November 1990) and the rehearsal demo version are very close to what's heard on the album, just with a clean electric guitar instead of acoustic, so it's most likely that the electric version was an idea they came up with later on when Nevermind was already recorded.

    You gotta remember Kurt way of song writing, was doing a verse about one thing. Same song different verse . Absolutely nothing to do with last verse. So often his songs were four short stories from his life experience, passionate subjects dear too him. So unless he was doing a cover. Good luck trying to figure it out. R.I.P Kurt, eventually the truth will come out about your murder. I miss your kind spirit
