    80's = partying, girls, fun, good times, angst, energy

      Both confirmed that Cobain "hung out" under the bridge, which was a popular recreation area favored by local teenagers, but Novoselic told author Charles R. Cross that the river's "tides" and "muddy banks" would have made staying there for a prolonged period of time impossible.

    @tedcole9936 4 місяці тому +40

    My take is that when Kurt repeated lines it often was asking you to hear it several ways… here “Something in the way…” can mean there is something about the way things proceed that is worth noticing. It also can mean that there is something blocking progress, blocking change.
    He brilliantly gets this double meaning by not having any words before or after this phrase. Like many Nirvana songs for me, it took a few listens to hear it.
    Another song that played on ambiguity that way is “About a girl” in which Kurt repeats “I do” … which to the ear sounds very much like “adieu” . So a promise, a vow, perhaps a wedding vow is also a goodbye. Stunningly simple and deeply meaningful.

      @@TecMatt I know, right? One more I'll ask you to consider.. This is less certain, but I keep hearing it... In "Teen Spirit" Kurt repeats the lyric which is accepted as "Hello hello hello how low?" But Kurt lets some vowels sag, leaving me to sometimes hear "Hello halo hello how low?" This may or may not have been intended, but being one of their earlier songs, and their first huge "hit song", it certainly changes the meaning in a meaningful way. Hello halo. Hello. How low? See if you hear that once or twice, too.

      @@tedcole9936 I've always heard and sung "Hello, hello, hello, how low", so you are not alone in this :) I certainly think it's fitting. If anyone hasn't heard Tori Amos' version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit", I highly recommend it to hear the angst in a different version. Stripped down bare. A true testament to how brilliant a song it is.

      I love a thoughtful lyric analysis! Good stuff. Here's one for you: In Bloom. Lyrics are couplets - but in separate verses.
      Ex:
      Sell the kids for food (First line v1)
      We can have some more (First line v2)
      Reproductive glands (Last line v1)
      Tender age in bloom (Last line v2)

    More Nirvana to hear "Polly" (from "Nevermind"), "Dive", "Aneurysm", "Blew", "Dumb", and "You Know You're Right".
    "Rape Me" is a great (anti-rape) track, too, but no UA-camr would probably touch it.

    Butch Vig, drummer of 90s band Garbage, was the producer for the legendary Nevermind album, in which this song is included. In a documentary about how the album was recorded, he said that the song “Something in the way” was the hardest to record because of the downplay and somber vibe it has, and that they just couldn’t get the right tone for the mood of the song at first. Then, Kurt decided to start singing and playing the song laying on his back on the couch inside the control room. And that is exactly what you hear on the album! So simple but so sincere and meaningful.

    One thing about this song is that it is the "last" song on the "Nevermind" album. I say "last" because if you let the track run for around 10 minutes after you think it's over, "Nameless, Endless" a "hidden" song of a completely different style begins playing. People often discovered it for the first time by gently drifting off to sleep to "Something in the Way" before being abruptly woken by "Nameless, Endless". Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" album famously has a hidden track as well.

    It's claimed by many, that Kurt wrote this song WHILE he was living under a bridge. He claimed that he did live under the Young Street bridge from time to time when he didn't have anywhere else to go growing up.
    Anything from the MTV Unplugged in New York album is worth checking out, but I'd recommend Where Did You Sleep Last Night, Man Who Sold the World, Lake of Fire or Plateu.
    Also for 90s grunge, y'all should dig into some Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam as well. And maybe even some Stone Temple Pilots.

    In Kurt's late teen years he would spend time hanging out for days, and sometimes even nights, and I imagine the song is about a long episode of hanging out at a camp kind of construction under a bridge and just the boredom of it. I'm sure i read something, or some interview, referencing to this.

    The "something" is something stopping him from getting better. And yes, this was lived experience for him.
    For some reason, I always think of Counting Crows' song "Anna Begins" when I hear Something In the Way. Not because of the lyrics specifically but because of the vibe. Might be because I listened to the albums Nevermind (Nirvana) and August And Everything After (Counting Crows) along with Collective Soul's "Hints, Allegations & Things Left Unsaid" album together on repeat back in ''94.

    YES!!! SO glad I grew up in this era. Ya'll have come a long way on this 90's rock journey. Nirvana, Offspring, and RHCP a few days ago,.. great job. They were all definitely in our CD cases back in the day. Hmmmm....
    One GIANT grunge classic you haven't done yet is 'Evenflow' by Pearl Jam. A definitive 90's rock song if there was one. I'd get on that and other Pearl Jam suggestions to complete the circle.
    As for more Nirvana, they put on possibly the most legendary accoustic show in the history of music (of our generation at least), called Unplugged in New York. I recommend 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night?', an incredible vocal showcase from Kurt.
    Best overall grunge/rock songs you haven't done yet:
    'Possum Kingdom' by the Toadies
    'Stop' by Jane's Addiction
    'Say Hello 2 Heaven' by Temple of the Dog
    ' Crown of Thorns' by Mother Love Bone (who's lead singer was the subject of 'Say Hello 2 Heaven')

    I go back and forth on Nirvana and Sublime as the greatest band of the 1990's.
    It's only "depression" if you see that way. I see this as "realization", "acceptance of what is/has happened" and he feels blue, which is not depression. Blue is sadness, seeing detachment, not fulling expectations then holding yourself to failure. Depression is a result of being too far into Blue. If the song is about a man living under a bridge, he captured the mood perfectly. The whole band did!
    Kurt was a massive Lennon fan, and often spoke about his solo (self-reflection) direction Lennon took, this song is very similar to Lennon's solo feel. That cello is marvelous, used often by The Beatles (Elenore Rigby, I am The Walrus, Blue Jay Way, for starters), nobody in rock had put a cello in their songs before The Beatles - that idea was rock n roll genius.
    Dave Grohol stated that Kurt used to carry The Beatles second album from 1963 (heavily flavored with Mo-Town Tamla Rock n Roll) with him everywhere he went. And one time when Nirvana were in the studio, Kurt didn't like his voice on one of the songs they were recording, thought it sounded thin. So the produced suggested for him to double track his voice. Kurt refused. The producer than told him that John Lennon used to double track his voice, played him a song from The Beatles to show him, and Kurt double tracked his voice often from there on in!

      In my humble opinion, "The Lever" is the only song off Diorama worth listening to. There are some good ones on Young Modern, but Daniel Johns was so heavy into drugs it's almost impossible to understand what the lyrics mean on most of that album.

    The late 80's and early 90's were the best time to be a kid, the music, movies, cartoons in literally every way. I may be bias but I'm also right! And at the same time, it was also a brutal, destructive transition, if your parents divorced as a kid, all the way up to 9/11. The last decade of innocence. Kurt recorded this on his back laying on a couch in the studio, can't get much more vulnerable. He's so quiet it's deafening emotionally.

  • @matthewgoodA1206
    @matthewgoodA1206 4 місяці тому

    According to one of Kurt’s own tellings, the lyrics of this song represent a kind of dark fantasy of being totally destitute and homeless. To the point of living under a bridge over the Wishka River here in Washington State, with nothing to do but live off of nature and catch fish to eat. The line about fish not having any feelings probably referred to him being a Pisces. So it’s like he was projecting the worst-case scenario. And since he was legitimately homeless several times during his life, he might’ve been stretching his imagination to see how far his own situation could go.

This nice dad let Kurt live in their home with a couple of sons of his, that went to school with Kurt. Kurt got in a fight with one of them. Kurt left and started living under a bridge. The dad actually invited him back, but Kurt didn’t except his hospitality. I pretty sure I left out some details of the story, but it happened.

It really encapsulated a young Batman's angst built up against something that, very simply, was getting in the way of him moving forward...perfect merging of music, mood, and what is really more of a detective-noir film, rather than a 'comic book' one.
