As bleak as The Downward Spiral is, this song has never once made me feel or think of anything but beauty. I see shorelines and forests drenched in orange orange sunsets. This video doesn't seem to capture the essence of this song at all. I feel like it was supposed to represent a small break from madness and despair. This...eh. Just a bunch of old creepy footage cut together in my opinion. What worked for Closer won't necessarily work for every song on the record.
I'm a 17 year old girl and I've already requested that this be played at my funeral. No matter how much my life changes as I mature, and even if this song loses the importance it once held to me, i know it will serve everyone the greatest reminder of who i was as a person, in my life
i want to walk down the isle to this song. i know right yer a guy and shouldnt be talking about that shit but if u all had a woman like i do u would wanna walk down the isle with her to this shit too! Lile my 10th time ina row listening to it..........drunk
This is the most amazing and most powerful song I have ever heard...I've never had a song make me feel so many different emotions at once and feel them so deeply...Thank you
God!!! there arent enough words in the english dictonary to even come close to explaing what and how much this song means to me...I have never felt so many conflicting emotions...Absolutly amazing..This is one of the most powerful songs i have ever heard...Great job and thank you Trent.......
@DrCringe it's my favorite song too. despite the fact that the loneliness and isolation i once felt and reveled in is gone, I can still listen to this and feel an entirely new set of emotions, overcoming me, and view my life once again from an impersonal point of view. distanced, solitary, but no longer unhappy
@incriticalcondition I'll go with that. It takes a new meaning when you hear it from 'The Other Side' of all that. Much love atcha mate. Glad you've come through as that's one of the worst things anyone can face. But you won. That's the main thing as I see it now (in my life) :-)
@ozkiland Claro, A WARM PLACE se le puede considerar como el climax de la sensaciòn que da CRYSTAL JAPAN, sin embargo ambas son buenas en su ambiente, que recrean en mis oidos imàgenes y sensaciones ùnicas cada una. Bravo a ambos artistas...
once when i was at school i smoked too much weed before lunch and turned white as a sheet and had to lie down.. luckily my friend had this on tape and played it to me.. it gave me the strength to go and grab some lunch... i'm forever grateful.
I needed this song today. I have had one long week that went by to fast. I know that doesn't make sense but some how does. this song always takes me to a warm place and that is what i needed.
What we have defined as sorrow and sadness are but imitations of the art we come to familiarize ourselves with and art visa-versa. For before thought what does one know of these vague definitions of shame, depression or those who unknowingly harbor feelings of needless control. Somewhere deep within the vibes we all feel there us a universal truth to be spoken in a foreign language, guised by distorted bass and the seemingly calm residuals of sound. There is nothing to define; there is no truth.
(sorry for the quality of my english but I want to share my feelings here)
this song always makes me connected with time by a strange manner. with passed time, present time and futur. it's like something vanishing inside me but I'm still keeping pain.
It's often different with my mood, but it this moment it makes me thinking about how stupid people can be with each other and how far people have almost succeeded to make me stupid along time and personal frustration towards human.
blasting someone for their feelings? Put it together. Apart from the typical blog banter of bs, natural born killers brought me here. Song relaxes me just like a cigg.
im lost.. im alone, i have failed everyone i know.. in my lower moments i close my eyes, and this melody is my hearts only sound. im not he dramatic type, i only want you all to know that you must try to overcome... Never give up, or you will end up like me.. and Now Im Nothing.
Song reminds me of my sister - I played this for her 10 years ago when she was sick with the flu - she fell asleep to the track on repeat and told me she dreamt she was swimming with dolphins.
It's been almost 3 years since you left us...I miss you sis. <3
The world's a lonely place for peaceful people, with no outrageous ego complex.
It's a lonely place indeed, this kind of music reflects both the peacefulness and lonliness one feels in that mindset of isolation and pacifism. It's hard trying to live with people who see violence, not only as their Gods favarouit method of control, but neccessary to solve all disputes. It's a terribly violent and nasty planet, perpetuated via education and politics. Music allows an escape, for a time....
@joneselius Well said, to be honest I feel lonelier when i'm with friends than i do when i'm alone. All the pointless ego-tiffs, the i'm-better-than-you vibe and general lack of any inner development that i see around the people in me kind of makes me rather hide in my own shell. This sort of music certainly helps to do that.
@joneselius no, this "kind of music" does NOT reflect your personal take on world affairs. It reflects uniquely on the individual listener. Speak for yourself and save your bullshit depression with the state of the world for a bucket bong session. Personally, this song reminds me of snowboarding in France and sitting at the top of a mountain. Music is different for everyone, but your vocabulary is basically jerking itself off trying to sound poignant.
@magnetictheory And yours isn't. You just had a go at me for doing exactly what you did.
I should of put 'in my opinion' somewhere in there, indeed. Why are you so hostile? Do you always go around throwing your vitriol at people? My vocabulary does what it needs to. My comment was, in no way, intended to be depressing. If it reminds you of that, fine. I was feeling quite low when I wrote that comment, it happens. I needed a vent, I found one. Take your hostility and self righteousness elsewhere
@joneselius Well said, my man. I take the same thing from this piece. "this kind of music reflects both the peacefulness and lonliness one feels in that mindset of isolation and pacifism." I agree 100%. It makes me sad for the state of the world in a way that words could never express.
i always thought this was the official video! haha good job to the dude who made the vid! also thanks trent reznor for showing me crystal japan a master class in taking your influences and improving upon them awesome
I love the first 3 minutes of this song but IMO the last minute and a half are horrible and ruin it and should be cut out. It should have ended on a good note, not a long boring ass crappy 1.5 minute outro. I find myself always skipping back to the beginning once it hits the 3 minute mark. Would make it much easier if it were never added in the first place. ah well, that's life I suppose. be damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Probably the most human song you'll ever hear but its the facet it has no vocals, that's scary part. You could tell what this was about without any of his words to describe. My top ten songs ever, top ten albums too,
Trent inadvertandly ripped off the music for this song from David Bowie. David Bowie in the late 70s made a Japanese commerical for Sakke called "Crystal Japan." Listen to that song and tell me if you can sense any similarities. "A Warm Place" is still a great song and does conjure up many conflicting emotions.
@destructingparabola My god you're right! Trent basically ripped off that riff! BUUT he did add to it with that great interlude bit, created a completely feel and made it into a devastatingly beautiful piece of music.
I picture my children being born, growing up, and someday leaving the house. All the while my wife and I slowly die....not knowing how to protect our kids when they are no longer in diapers....I agree with some of the other comments....its a hopeful song...longing, loving....and then sad....very interesting mix of emotions in this song.
i've been alone my entire life. my family is there of course, but i push them away. i push everyone away because i'm afraid of contact. i'm ashamed of the person i am, so i hide myself from the world. whenever i'm around people i become a ragdoll; an emotionless, expressionless mannequin, to not disappoint and hurt them with the real me. Listening to music helps me cope with loneliness and depression, and of all the songs i've cried to, i've cried to this the most.
@ri394 and yet you aren't afraid to reveal your true self to complete strangers on the internet. you find solace in sharing yourself and connecting with others. you're just afraid of something you can't immediately escape, ignore, or walk away from. you might just find, if you summon the courage to share yourself in real life, a relationship you will enjoy having.
@ri394 I was like that before and NIN has helped me to get through it. That changed when I met my bf (6yrs ago) Now Im a different person, I know a lot of people and have a lot of 'friends', but tbh, I just have them so I can convince myself that I CAN find myself some friends. Every time they ask me out I gotta force myself to go, because I am still a loner inside. Maybe having friends is just overrated. But I do hope you can find a partner who can make you happy, because that is rly important.
@ri394 pushing away your family and friends isn't bad for some time if they are good people. i've been in your situation couple of years ago. but, you know, yeah our world sucks, people equals to shit and so on, but in all this rot there's really amazing and beautiful things. and believe me, once you'll wish to share them. dry your eyes
@ri394 that is what society wishes of us - to conform to its standards, or wither away. you are not alone. realize that fact and you will thrive. either you are faking it for someone (even yourself) or you truly realize no one can fit in anothers mold. heres hoping you find your place.
@ri394 from a similar soul...well said. Lonliness can be a best friend; there are gems in such solitude, I have found but one. Nonetheless..thank you for sharing.
@ri394 wouldnt it be easier to work on changing who u are rather than pushing everyone away and living such a sad lonely life? Seems illogical to me. U seem like a nice enough guy i dont see why ur ahsamed of who u are
@ri394 We're all alone on some level. I've been there, staring into the void, feeling like no one has ever felt and that no one could make me feel better. I can't promise that one day you will feel better but some people do come through this.
I listen to this song every night before going to sleep, have been for years and I don't see me ever changing that. Trent is a beautiful person and a master of the musical art form. I will be a NIN fan until the day I die and beyond.
I hear you. When I leave this strange life thing, I am sure this song will have been listened to several times more than any other in my life. It just speaks to me and all the hard things I've had to endure so clearly. It's as if this song is about how hard life is, but how underneath it all there is still something pure.
This song splits in two my dubious reality: a disheveled, helpless, melancholy place of all-encompassing darkness, miles deep and unthinkably wide - yet simultaneously beautiful, blindingly bright, an apex of inspiration and love and joy and peace - heaven and hell intertwined, the dualities of the universe screaming from a quiet, humble moment. A thousand times over I've listened to this piece and not once have I not been grabbed and shaken violently from my humble plane of existence.
chills.

@ri394 I was like that before and NIN has helped me to get through it. That changed when I met my bf (6yrs ago) Now Im a different person, I know a lot of people and have a lot of 'friends', but tbh, I just have them so I can convince myself that I CAN find myself some friends. Every time they ask me out I gotta force myself to go, because I am still a loner inside. Maybe having friends is just overrated. But I do hope you can find a partner who can make you happy, because that is rly important.

You don't have the slightest idea of how close you are to my reality. I guess in some kind of way we aren't that alone.

@ri394 pushing away your family and friends isn't bad for some time if they are good people. i've been in your situation couple of years ago. but, you know, yeah our world sucks, people equals to shit and so on, but in all this rot there's really amazing and beautiful things. and believe me, once you'll wish to share them. dry your eyes

@ri394 that is what society wishes of us - to conform to its standards, or wither away. you are not alone. realize that fact and you will thrive. either you are faking it for someone (even yourself) or you truly realize no one can fit in anothers mold. heres hoping you find your place.

@ri394 from a similar soul...well said. Lonliness can be a best friend; there are gems in such solitude, I have found but one. Nonetheless..thank you for sharing.

@ri394 wouldnt it be easier to work on changing who u are rather than pushing everyone away and living such a sad lonely life? Seems illogical to me. U seem like a nice enough guy i dont see why ur ahsamed of who u are

@ri394 We're all alone on some level. I've been there, staring into the void, feeling like no one has ever felt and that no one could make me feel better. I can't promise that one day you will feel better but some people do come through this.

I listen to this song every night before going to sleep, have been for years and I don't see me ever changing that. Trent is a beautiful person and a master of the musical art form. I will be a NIN fan until the day I die and beyond.

I hear you. When I leave this strange life thing, I am sure this song will have been listened to several times more than any other in my life. It just speaks to me and all the hard things I've had to endure so clearly. It's as if this song is about how hard life is, but how underneath it all there is still something pure.

This song splits in two my dubious reality: a disheveled, helpless, melancholy place of all-encompassing darkness, miles deep and unthinkably wide - yet simultaneously beautiful, blindingly bright, an apex of inspiration and love and joy and peace - heaven and hell intertwined, the dualities of the universe screaming from a quiet, humble moment. A thousand times over I've listened to this piece and not once have I not been grabbed and shaken violently from my humble plane of existence.
