Lyrics:
Underneath the bridge, tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass, and the drippings from my ceiling
It's OK to eat fish 'cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm
Underneath the bridge, tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass, and the drippings from my ceiling
It's OK to eat fish 'cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, hmm-mmm
Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm

[@norseman007]

Stephen Wilson Jr. is such an underrated artist!

[@knarfggor]

Not no more!!!!!!!

[@cmale3d]

This entire record seems like it tears down all of the barriers! It's awesome! Just phenomenal!

[@SpencerLarsen-np3nj]

Realll

[@robmein2823]

I don’t even know how anyone could classify Stephen’s sound…. It’s just damned good.

[@derekrobinson8955]

For me he's like if Bruce Springsteen was from the Midwest.

[@angeliabirdsong6551]

Your jus mad bcuz you caint..let that man shine..dam good I thought..sounded Native Indian..

[@GutLordLarry]

Grungetry

[@kellyspradau2835]

He's amazing

[@thibert35]

Kurt is definitely smiling right now.

[@a.hagler3777]

Darn right brother 🥺🫡🤘🤘💪💪

[@dustinpatton576]

Doubt it.

[@tpm2006]

entirely enamored with his interpretation. I remember the first time I heard this on ‘nevermind’ and was more even blown away than ‘smells like..’. 👏 👏

[@jakkhazzard]

Yeah, probably not.

[@billkern2837]

Lort Jesus, there’s a fire🔥🔥🔥

[@ALacunae]

Instant full body chills rolling into this song. What a sound, what a voice!

[@calcinationrecords5121]

I know that look at the end of the video, just came back to planet earth after flying around the Universe for a while. Amazing job! Absolute 🔥

[@smaddox]

I was a young man when I had the original... Now, at 50, this is my favorite version.

[@meganmcmullin6724]

Thank you from a 90s teenager. this is the best version ever made.

[@cloudstar_16]

Dang! He snapped off, in a highly self disciplined sort of way. Well done, Sir. Very well done.

[@Danielson8140]

This needs to be on a soundtrack to a movie.

[@automatonpilot5040]

Never heard of this dude. One of the, if not the best cover I’ve ever heard.

[@Jackson_Red]

His album was my favorite discovery last year.

[@fulltiltrobby1923]

Dig on this guy sooooooo goood

[@coreysgirl04]

Oh man, enjoy falling into his rabbit hole! It’s a moving experience. 👋🏼🕳️

[@GutLordLarry]

The headphones slowly slipping off at the end 😂

[@strange5253]

Read your comment at about the 0:30 mark, was typing out a wry remark about slipping off at the end and how much this sounded like Kurt. How it took me until 1:10 to realise that’s exactly who he is covering well shit I’m not sure, but damn I love it! Edit: I think I may have started the song in x.75 which definitely adds some extra chills

[@GutLordLarry]

Anyone know why his Lady of Guadalupe artwork depics her with the classic alien grey face? I haven't heard him mention anything to do with that in any interviews ect so any help would be hugely appreciated!

[@Shipwreck-Volumetric]

This is not music, this is beyond it. The most deep , loving, passionate, emotional, life saving POETISM i have heard for some time.

[@chonky2129]

"babe wake up. a new Stephen Wilson Jr. cover just dropped." this is actually such a sick cover. the distortion on the classical is deep and grinding.

[@TravisTerrell12]

If Chris Cornell did a Nirvana song. This man don’t miss!!

[@allenhaff]

He got every bit of that guitar! It sounded full thanks the distortion and brilliant play and then at the end when he’s going off, the backsplash of the reverb sounded orchestral and suddenly felt percussive. 1 man band is all you need!

[@itsame8470]

I can't ever find what guitars he plays. I want that sound at home.

[@PJ-oy5bc]

That’s how you OWN someone else’s song. Can’t get through the day without my Stephen Wilson Jr fix

[@tracykrona527]

Wishing you the happiest of Birthdays, fine Sir! Thank you for supplying the gift!

[@jeremybaker8626]

Hey kids, did you feel that??????

[@GutLordLarry]

The greatest redition of something in the way ever recorded? Yeah I felt that x

[@marcushaynes4753]

We aren't kids by any means. But this woke something up inside me that's been asleep for a long time

[@ThomasHartII]

Saw him do this a couple weeks ago and got to tell him in person how much I loved it. My only regret was that there wouldn't be a clear version on KZbin. Thank you Stephen! Can't wait to see you again.

[@MonicaGreen-y7m]

Something so primal about this cover. I have listened 100 times in a row!!!!

[@randallwilson6294]

I can’t stop listening to this… straight up banger!!!!!

[@TheJayFlugumFallout]

Your voice, your music, is a constant reminder of how blessed we are to have been born and lived to hear it. You are a remarkable soul. Thank you for sharing it. And happy birthday.

[@Bar-Buryin]

We need a cover of "Jeremy"... 👏👏👏💥🔥💯

[@tylermulberry4577]

"Rooster" would be sick as well, just round out the whole grunge era

[@Bar-Buryin]

@@tylermulberry4577 Yeah but I would go with "Nutshell" for an Alice In Chains cover for him to do, or "Rain When I Die" if he thought he could do something heavier on acoustic. Maybe even "Grind" just because the people on here that didn't hear AiC back then or haven't done a dive probably wouldn't know it.

[@terryking9578]

Nutshell by Alice in chains

[@monkeybar77]

Would? -Alice in Chains

[@Bar-Buryin]

@@monkeybar77 One of their best but not really suitable for him doing an acoustic cover. It's one of those where it's not just the lyrics but also the baseline and drums that make the song.

[@captainclinto0095]

Holy S#!?! That raw sound is sick!

[@mountainmama6237]

Wow, just stumbled upon this and I love it!!!

[@Guitatertot]

This is absolutely incredible

[@shadbunnell3464]

Damn. Talk about a powerful rendition of an iconic song. This dude is the real deal. My favorite new (to me) artist in a long time. The sound he produces with the acoustic and effects pedal is off the charts amazing. I want to figure out his guitar tunning configuration. The song "The Devil" is what got me following this guy. Plenty of other bangers in his catalog. Lyrics are always off the charts good.

[@jakelawrence923]

Good sweet baby Jebus! This is unreal. Please bring this into the rotation for your live shows. So friggin good.

[@fishordie1992]

He plays it live

[@NIGHTTRAVELER]

well that was amazing

[@lauratomas4388]

He really sounds like Chris Cornell in this one! LOVE

[@rcjohnson3281]

OMG!!! Every time I can’t figure out how he can possibly outdo himself, he does something like this!! Absolutely LIT!!

[@heavyequipmech2263]

After the 3 min mark, my jaw dropped. I’ve never heard so much beautiful noise out of an acoustic guitar. Simply amazing.

[@Bar-Buryin]

You are one in a billion my friend! Absolutely phenomenal cover!

[@MatthewHamilton-dx9lg]

This guy is crushing it!!! Son of Dad is stellar start to finish, he is true to his unique style and sings with fervor. I can’t get enough!! Keep it coming! 🔥

[@315firefighter]

I had the same look at the end and found myself just staring at the blank screen for a moment. Wow. Glad you came to Country Thunder. I was working there in uniform and passed you with a quick “Hey” in the catering area. Only got to hear a bit of your performance as I had other things to deal with. I gave up on country music that has just turned into boy bands sang with a twang, but this. You are in a very small group of artists that is what country music has been missing. Thanks. I wish you well.

[@RyanConnors-e3k]

Holy shit!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@greghookey9292]

@StephenWilsonJr 48 years old, and just had to say goodbye, to my best friend. An almost 14 year old pug cross named Mac. She was my life and my heart and you’ve captured my intense grief. I can’t stop listening to this. Thank you.

[@BuffaloTrace602]

This is insane! The guitar at the very end reminds of deftones ❤

[@hamijoh]

Can’t stop playing your music.

[@ejarnold747]

....holy shit, man!! This was Incredible

[@kevinjames5735]

What the hell just happened? I was not prepared for this, how can you? I heard a channeling of Cobain, Cornell and Staley, through an overdriven specter of Willie Nelsons Trigger. I like this dimension. I want to stay here.

[@Spartigus]

Great cover!! You just made me go back and watch Nirvana's unplugged version of this.

[@chuckaddison]

Phenomenal. Such a rad reinvention of the song. Wouldn't have predicted this, but genius as always.

[@xxxxxx1427]

Your time is coming SWJr🙏🖤

[@chriscarpenter6051]

That was freaking awesome! 👏🏻

[@jimgiblet]

Holy shit! That is the best Nirvana cover I have ever heard, so intense. You are a force to be reckoned with. Much love from Brisbane Australia, please come visit

[@derekwilson715]

God Blessed this man!! Insane!!!!

[@jessedavis999]

Thank you for another escape track, never disappoint!🇺🇸🦅

[@fiskenemodir1726]

Feel that pent up depressive/angry energy release into the aether.... You are a gem, sir. As a 90s youth, this cuts.

[@ccushing39]

That was wild, love it, creepy

[@fulltiltrobby1923]

This guy man what a special artist

[@ariley1977]

A classic track given the Stephen Wilson Jr treatment, love it ❤️ Such an epic dude, you're a blessing to music man and I'm so glad I saw you on Jools Holland in the UK. Son of Dad is a class album I've had on repeat since and I can't wait to see you live on 27th October in Manchester!

[@moosemoove569]

Great Nirvana cover stephen, loved it when I seen you in Belfast

[@waderogers9399]

WoW! Great emotion there young man,Heaven heard this and now is leaking aqua seafoam shame. Incredible.

[@shannonobrien7658]

This song is insane, by the way. This guy is fire, then water.. so damn good.

[@KraftsSingles]

Unfukinbelievable 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Dark-Moon-Ghost]

Every single song hits just right 😍🤘

[@tylerbowers5812]

Man you are amazing and such a gift to the music community

[@user-hb9gn9ht7e]

I didn't know someone could sound more like Nirvana than Nirvana. Wild. Love it.

[@jamesredfern4878]

How did this not pop up hours ago, I’m definitely subscribed. Great cover!

[@gillybean0513]

Gawd damn. Goose bumps.

[@toddwright1577]

Awesome! Seen him perform it live at Roostertail and killed it!

[@fishordie1992]

[@LynnRobson-j5o]

Amazing 👏 cant stop watching ❤❤❤

[@retrosauce]

[@indiekid82]

wow, just wow, head blown!!!

[@Dizzy9ine]

His album is the best of the year and this cover is best of the year and he is the best artist of the year! Hands down!!!

[@Eric.Northman]

Saying this is incredible doesn't do it justice. You never fail to amaze me. This needs to blow up.

[@Ep1cSh0rtz]

Literally one of the coolest things I ever heard.

[@angiesnyder7241]

Wow! The best!

[@paulbarnes8962]

Hell yeah!!!! ❤️👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥 Awesome dude!

[@packersfan036]

[@scottpadilla6631]

[@Kurt_McGirt]

That sound coming from that guitar is wild. What a great find!

[@rachelleschrute]

I’m single handedly responsible for at least 40,000 of these views and I have no plans of stopping. This is now my life’s soundtrack.

[@coreyschatz1367]

[@UnproductiveProduct]

[@StonearkPainting]

[@GutLordLarry]

Gut strings for ya 🤒

[@kylehawks9602]

Never been a super fan of anyone, but with Stephen…speechless. Just burrows into my soul!

[@788Bryan]

Going to see him tonight in Grand Rapids. Hope he played this one.

[@bellvega5391]

phenomenal

[@Tomek1985]

So powerfull voice❤

[@LawrenceCarriere-z2m]

Freakin' amazing! I love it when artists take songs really close to them and cook it in their own kitchen like this! Brilliant!

[@user-zc1bn5gl3z]

Dig this. Best version IMHO to be birthed into the ether! Hello from Trade TN

[@SamanthaOndzes]

Wow, if I did not know better, this was Chris Cornell 😳 .. simply stunning!! You did an awesome job!! LOVE how hauntingly this version is!!

[@shortnsweet1980]

Damn 😊 You can tell he put his all into it! I'm surprised his strings don't ever start smoking ☺️💕

[@Thirdeye_865]

Three seconds into the vocals absolutely love that was amazing blown away.

[@Heidingav1]

When are you putting all of your amazing acoustic work onto an album? I would love to sit back and listen to it

[@screamsfromthetrees]

Gave me chills when I saw him perform this live at The Black Sheep in Colorado Springs. Still gives me chills. Killer cover, brother.

[@MotorCityMax]
