Cobain then recorded vocal harmonies, and drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic added their parts, though both Grohl and Novoselic had difficulty playing in time with Cobain's performance. This became the core of the recording, with the first vocal take being used for the verses. Vig was impressed with the way Cobain's solo rendition sounded, and after turning off the air-conditioning and unplugging the telephone in the control room, set up microphones and recorded the song this way instead, starting with the guitar and the vocals. According to Vig, Cobain had originally wanted to record the song's instruments with the full band, but when initial attempts at this were unsuccessful, Cobain sat on a couch in the control room of studio A and played the song for Vig on acoustic guitar, to show him how he thought it should sound. "Something in the Way" was first recorded in the studio in May 1991 at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California by Butch Vig, for the band's second album, Nevermind. The first live performance was on November 25, 1990, at The Off Ramp Café in Seattle. The earliest known version is a solo electric demo that appears in a medley, along with the abandoned compositions "You Can't Change Me" and "Burn My Britches," first released on the Cobain compilation Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings in November 2015. "Something in the Way" was written by Cobain in 1990. It also reached the top 20 in both Amazon Music's and iTunes' digital music charts. In August 2020, the song charted for the first time after appearing in the first trailer for the upcoming superhero film The Batman, peaking at number two on Billboard 's US Rock Digital Songs Sales chart, and number five on their US Alternative Digital Songs Sales charts. It is the final listed song on the album, although most copies of Nevermind also feature the hidden track " Endless, Nameless", which occupies the same track as "Something in the Way" and begins after approximately 10 minutes of silence. It is the 12th song on their second album, Nevermind, released in September 1991. " Something in the Way" is a song by American rock band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain.
