When I hear this, It justifies me. It's ok for me to be poor, It's ok that I don't look like a Model, It's ok that I want to just sink into emptiness and be left alone. I hope I hear this when I am dying, it will bring me to peace. I have 2 beautiful Children and I constantly battle with my feelings of wanting to die, becauseof this I am selfish. when I hear this song, I feel like just for a moment, it's ok for me to sink into my disfunctional self. Thankyou Trent for giving me my solitude.
@insideofgod You are NOT dysfunctional. This "way of life" is what's dysfunctional. Everyone feels it. No need to punish yourself and your children because we are simply passing through the dark ages of human consciousness. People are slowly coming around. The greed and mayhem we are experiencing is not the true nature of humanity. But some want us to think that this is our natural state. We are here to save and preserve and rebuild. You are one of the strong ones. You will make it. Peace.
@insideofgod That's not a normal compulsion. I'd seriously see a doctor about that if you have access to health care. Do it for your kids sake. I say that as someone who's felt the heavy blanket of depression on my own life.
@insideofgod you are one of the strong ones. you WILL make it. mindsstormsabrewin nailed that one on the head. your children love you and you love to hate yourself. but you really you love yourself.
Amazing visuals to match the lyrics. The song is about the day his grandmother died. I think the snake skin represents an empty body. And the snake slithering across the dust reminds me of the idea that we're created from dust and we return to it, At least thats what I interpreted it as.
Agreed on your interpretation, however I beleive this song is about his Grandfather dying. Since the lyrics refer to a 'he'. And I believe 'I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally' is about his Grandmother passing.
@Simulacra541 I'm thinking that's actually sand, meant to depict a desert. Some snakes thrive in the desert, while others die... The skin is not a corpse...the shedding of a snakes skin is a natural occurrence meant to uncover the newer skin beneath.
there is something majestic about reznors work that leaves me bewildered and in a state of euphoria. I honestly haven't listened to anything but NIN for the past couple years
I don't know about favorite song, but in my opinion the Fragile is still the best era of NIN, and possibly could remain the best of Trent's work. Even if Trent doesn't think so himself. The Fragile is one of my top 3 favorite albums of all time.
i don't really like trent's voice that much but i think the music speaks alot, like the guitar riffs in the beginning: so amazing, makes me feel strange!
I've grown to love Nine Inch Nails, after my boyfriend introduced them to me many years ago. There music is different and amazing and I know Trent strives for it to be that way. Now NINs has such a diverse range of Compilations from Pretty Hate Machine, With Teeth to The Ghosts Album there's something for everyone. I still can't get over the song Something I Can Never Have. My boyfriend who is a HUGE fan said that he nearly wasn't going to put it on the album.
I love this version of the song, I could get lost in it for hours, beautifully put together and an all round epic track. Trent is pure genius, I wished he'd make some music similar to his old stuff again but it seems pointless, he's happy in his new direction and you can't blame him. Rock on NIN.
Hah, I think I would. I first heard this song on youtube and LOVED it. I HAD to have it right that instant. A week later I got the CD from a friend sence the story didn't carry it. Its amazing, get it.
No I really meant it. Trents not about the money. I read he would want anyone who wants to cover his song "JUST DO IT!" w/out consulting a lawyer he doesn't care. Steal my album if U want it that bad. Infact he's giving away his best album in years 4free on his site ;) I just bought Broken (4thtime) YEARZERO (1sttime) Ghosts (2nd time) Downward Spiral (3rd time) and Fragile (3rd time) truth is he doesnt' care too much about making money. He gave away what? 50,000 usb keys w/ yearzero on it@conce
ye, what the fuck is up w/ not being able to buy em anyways. I went to Future Shop. they are saying they are no longer trying to sell cds anymore. Best Buy just made their music section smaller too. Music World or is it HMV> have insane prices. 52 fuckign doallars for The Slip and a Soulfly album. for the last 2 years I've d/l'd like crazy. but I'm tryign to Buy lot's of cd's again. but they are getting hard to find.
Can't buy them in stores...$0.99 and have to deal with all the adware whatever program comes with online. OR Free with a perfect little program called Audacity. Hummmmm
Takes me back in the day. man, I wish he could make something like the Fragile again. :P , but I guess that's his style. And I hope he never does again......... I guess. I loved that album front to back. It's music u can rock out to w/ some beer and some buds. or just sit back and think for hours. wierd combonation.
Partially correct. Many commercial artists make very good songs, it all depends on what you like, however I know where you're coming from with that, and I agree that a lot of it is just bullshit made by pop stars or rappers just trying to get famous.
I don't know about you, but I don't listen to Nin because Trent Reznor is manly, which is a very vaque and hard to define trait anyways. Trent Reznor beats Chuck Norris any day, by infinity roundhouse kicks!;)
Love the Song, Its amazing! Not such a big fan of the video.. Makes me feel alone but does give me a strange sense of relief?! Fuck knows why.. O well, cheers for upload!
Everyone who likes the albums of Nine Inch Nails should check out a live shows or buy "Live: Beside You In Time", its not just the more hammering sound but a real entertainment show including video projections and so on..
Has anyone noticed that thi video is basicly the album cover for the cd? Theres a bunch of that one flower they keep showing on the back, and the red/orange color is like all over both.
I disagree. The Fragility version was much better than the album version. Especially Robin's guitar and Charlie's theremin were breathtakingly beautiful. The current line-up has never been as good as this either.
