"Something in the Way" is a song by American rock band Nirvana and written by its frontman Kurt Cobain. It is the final song on their 1991 studio album Nevermind (without counting the secret track included on most CD editions of the album, "Endless, Nameless").
It was thought that "Something in the Way" was written during a time in which its author, singer 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 daytime. He also allegedly slept in waiting rooms of hospitals in the town.
"Something in the Way (You Make Me Feel)" is a 1989 single by Stephanie Mills. The single was both written and produced by Angela Winbush, and became Mills' fourth R&B number one.
Underneith the bridge
Top has sprung a leak
And the animals are trapped
All become my pets
And there living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's ok to eat fish,
Cause they don't have any feeling
Something in the way
Hmmmmm
Something in the way, yea
Hmmmmm
Something in the way
Hmmmmm
Something in the way, yea
