Recording Nirvana: Something In The Way. (Recording Studio) 

This man's seen legends come and go

The cello gives a special touch to this song.. I love it

Crazy how long ago they were working on the Batman soundtrack

“The track is a little outta tune, but that gives it kinda the eeriness... or helps with it... gives it a lot of character.” Rest In Peace, Kurt. Edit: Guys, I think the point I was trying to make was that Kurt himself, like most musicians who are brilliant but tortured, was a little "out of tune" but that is what made his music so special. Chill out and just enjoy the art...

You can really hear that somber tone and see the sadness right there at the end. You can tell Kurt meant a lot to him. And not just someone who helped make him even more famous, or made him more money. There is a sadness there, because a friend is no longer there. Maybe it's just me, but he almost looks like he is trying not to cry at the end. And I can't really blame him. I feel as much sadness for Butch as I do Krist & Dave. Kurt had a beautiful and tortured soul. I hope wherever he, and Layne S. ended up, they can make their beautiful music and be happy.

this song kills me everytime

So sad he died man. So much talent.

What a nice song. I feel like this would be a dope Batman track in the future.

the cello got me goosebumps... i love how butch breathes at the end. listening to this song is an spiritual activity, even more than any other nirvana song.

The Cello in this song sounds so good.

wish he played more of the track with section's muted in the video, was so awesome when you heard the high harmony's ,chello,etc. Love this song

i love this guy, he's so sincere and pristine in his professional manner.

You aren't a real Nirvana fan unless you've dozed off listening to this song only to be startled awake by the nightmare of a hidden track that starts 11 minutes later.

Something In The Way felt like a taste, a glimpse of the ultimate future of Nirvana after In Utero. I'm talking about the whole accoustic thing they were gunna do with their next album, I mean the way Butch is explaining how Kurt told them to be more quiet, how Chris and Dave had difficult time because they hit so hard, etc etc just makes me think about the Unplugged gig they did and how that would/did effect the band in a very drastic way. The ironic thing is that this song was in Nevermind, the hard hittin album that would shift rock music back into mainstream, and that it was the LAST track (not including endless nameless of course).

The way Kurt and Dave harmonize is just amazing!

Goosebumps.

I'd love to have Butch Vig as a teacher. He seems like a guy who knows a ton, has tremendous ability and just loves music. These vids are great for aspiring producers

No song has ever captured such despair & melancholy imo its a funeral song of the soul to me.

Haunting stuff.

Butch produced NeverMind, Gish, and Siamese Dream? Genius.

This popped outta nowhere 13 years later. Thanks Batman 🤣🔥🔥

Favorite Nirvana song, I actually like that “quiet singing technique” as I’ll call it, you can get a lot of emotion in a song like that. I try to use it but am limited by almost non existent recording tech XD Love the Cello, love his voice, love the song, first song I learned to play, it’s simple, but it just really makes you feel.

Anyone else had some tears in his eyes?

No wonder Matt Reeves loves this song. He clearly helped work on it

In 1998 I was living with my dad in Redmond. He was an architect and was going to Aberdeen on a project for the day. I was 15 and a big Nirvana fan, so I went along with him to see Cobain's hometown. There wasn't much going on and my dad was working all day, so I checked out the map and the only river in town was nearby. I figured I might find the bridge and check it out, so I walked up the river and found it within a mile or so. It was an interesting thing to see lit candles and a kind of makeshift, rugged shrine under the bridge, with a couple flowers and things. Really was touching for me at the time. RIP.

I thought I heard this before, but I never heard this until I saw it in the Batman. And now I can't stop thinking about it.

"OK stop, stop, stop." *music stops*

"I think is in his nature to hit hard" Oh yeah, we know Dave.

I love these song breakdowns, isolating certain elements. Really allows for a deeper understanding of the art.

The way he tells the story of this song with lot of sadness. The sigh in the end says it all..

I miss you Kurt dude so much! One day we all wish be together again to appreciate you even more. My heart still hurts considering its been 23 years since you left us 😭💔❤️

this guy pretty much worked on every single hit album that was out around this time. i remember looking through the booklets of every cd i had and it had his name on it

Far and away my favorite track from Nirvana. I bought he album because of Teen Spirit of course, then found this jewel at the end and fell in love.

Such a beautiful song…when Butch just sits there after the song is over…so sad.

this song is perfect, great for people like me who kind of feel sad most of the time

This guy knows his shit , Butch Vig is an incredible producer and musician

You can hear that nice tape hiss :D

It might've been uploaded in 2008, but 2022 was when the world needed it most.

My favorite Nirvana song.

Imagine sitting there like Butch in that room with Kurt or whoever else, while he recorded that incredibly moving song, that is still hard even for me to listen too.... Like holy shit, that is literally one of the greatest historical music moments like ever...

absolute masterpiece. love these breakdowns.

wow this is awesome. one of my favorite songs of all time.

This song affects you. When it’s finished playing, you don’t feel like the same person you were

This man is a LEGEND! THANK YOU FOR NEVERMIND!

ive watched this well over 10x im a huge fan nirvana brings me back to when i was 17 and now to see how it was all made is amazing thank you so much this music never has or will stop giving me chills

i had this dvd as a high schooler. loved seeing how all the songs were made

I really want to thank you for this video. It has been my "go to" for 10 years or so.. when i need it it helps me through. Feels like im back in the studio with 'em

Say what you want about him, but this track is the shining jewel on this album that proves he is a great producer and does what he thinks is best for the band/songs. No other producer would have gotten the utterly haunting vibe of this song like it is on never mind.

Music producing is truly an art form, and not everyone can do it. You either have it or you don't.

that cello brings back all the grief i've ever dealt with in my life, all over again, every single time i hear it. and i'll never get tired of his vocals, either. everything about this track is absolutely heartbreaking in the best way possible

This is what I like to see. To the point, 3 min 20 is all that's needed to discuss how a song was recorded. No stupid stories and egos with Butch. He seems like a great guy, he reminds me of my producer

You can feel the passion for music that this man exudes, beautiful.

I don't know much about Kurt, but I've been to that town and I've seen that bridge and I can say that I felt like I understood him better in that moment than after 25 years of listening to his music. Most deeply depressing place I think I've ever been, with maybe the exception of Alcatraz. Just a grim vibe up there.

This is my all-time favorite song from Nirvana. I love this softer style. I wish so bad that I could have seen what could have been...

Videos like this just highlight the sheer talent that goes into creating amazing tracks

LOVE that song..

In my feed after watching the batman, wild.

In the boombox rehearsal recording (where the band practiced Nevermind), Kurt sings alternate lyrics and after singing about his mom and how he's homesick, you can hear his voice shake a little as he almost cries. Such an emotional track man

One of the greatest pieces of art you'll ever experience

So deep. ..

Definitely one of the greatest songs ever written. Put it up there with the all time greats. If you hear this on a cold winter night driving all alone it could change your life. It did mine when I first heard it when I was 10. My oldest brother showed me alot of Nirvana songs that weren't big hits. School. Floyd the barber. Scentless apprentice. And many others. But when I heard this song I teared up. My brother usually would talk to me while the songs played but we both got so quiet when this song came on. We couldn't even look at eachother after. That's the power kurt had over us. Simple song. Simple lyrics. So fucking deeping to a person emotions no matter age gap or race or religion. Kurt was the greatest artist of all time when it came to being honest in music.

Butch is awesome

Goosebumps It Is so fascinating seeing the" behind the scenes" of a studio record

I could watch that last 30 seconds on repeat all day. Just chilling to watch Butch listen to that haunting cello.

This will always be one of my favorite songs.

This is one of my favorite songs. Very interesting to hear how it got made

I'm so fucking glad i found this today, thank god for Butch Vig and whoever uploaded these videos, you rock!

I love this guy. It’s one of the most interesting things I’ve ever seen on RU-vid

Perfeftly fits the new Batman movie..amazing amazing track

What a beautiful song! It truly shows Kurts abilities as an artist. I LOVE AND MISS HIM DEEPLY 💔💔😪

One of my favorite songs,Grew up on Nirvana and still fully appreciate their music.

Good timing from RU-vid recommendations

I could sit and talk to this guy for hours

Thank you for this Kurt and all of Nirvana. Loved this song from The Batman, I also love Nirvana. Thank you

2 years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal

Thank you RU-vid Algorithm. Right on time 👍🏽

Thank you for posting this. 🙏🏼

This song actually used to make me cry.

The thought of all the hair metal goons hearing this at the end of the record makes me smile

I’ve heard this song a thousand times and it has never lost is luster.

The thing I have learned from this man is: Know when to know when less is better! Its so easy for me to over-produce! It really is a skill that comes with experience ! Thank u Butch!

one of the greatest songs Kurt ever wrote. A Masterpiece brought to life.

Dude, this song would be awesome for a Batman trailer!!

they captured somthing magicl. Thats what recordings always been about. Putting that magic take on something to listen to

something in the way is like so raw and hauntingly emotional man, really gifted song writing of course

After watching The Batman, I'm glad this song exists

This song really elevated The Batman to Kino status

Glad this song is getting more attention and appreciation now, really cool

Been looking for this forever.

Batman felt that “yeah”

"With kurts five string guitar"😂😂Kurt really didn't give af

an amazing producer, an amazing artist, an amazing band and an amazing song. this is why i love music. it's art in it's purest form.

So cool to hear about it from someone who was there!

How on point is the algorithm 💕

I am vengeance

this is too much. so emotional. thanks for posting

Love LOve LOVE hearing the individual parts being played separately

I fish in that area sometimes and yea I can say it can be pretty eerie but it’s a pretty cool spot
