Ants. Millions of ants. Working, climbing, carrying amber and pebbles and bark. (the higher pitched notes it starts with). The lower, slower tones are the larger picture, the tree they have hollowed out and are part of, a microcosm of the macrocosm of the microcosm.
This song reminds me of what should of been used as the theme for Lara opening fire on a bunch of rats while raiding a tomb in Tomb Raider Anniversary.
You said it man!! This record is great, and the 2000s were great in my world as long as you did'nt turn on a radio!! To bad Ieft it 10 years to late - if only I'd known
3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Godsmack, Limp Biscuit, Sevendust, Disturbed, Linkin Park, System of a Down......they're all in their hahahah!!
lol i was just listening to a radiohead song and i got a distant memory of a tune i couldnt place.. turned out to be the riff and the end of this song. 'ghosts' is unnervingly appropriate
I think of ghastly situations when I listen to Ghosts. The album title has influenced my imagination. But, hell, when else does one think about haunted houses and things like that.
This is my thinking song. Lol. When i hear it i can imagine an animated character in his little cubicle at work just typing into his computer. XD It seriously does help me think.
Where do you find this art work. It's arguably the most surreal art work provided by Rob Sheridan. It would be interesting for Reznor to perform this mixed with "Compilation" on the tour.
I swear thats a marimba in there but it doesn't say it was included or who played it. Maybe just an electronic one, still though this would be great. I would love to hear a whole percussion ensemble do this piece, and play with them :))))
This music makes me so happy, its nice to hear REAL music again.
I can imagine my self running through the woods or through a huge city Parkours my way through nothing would stand in the way it would just keep going non stop insanity with a twist of freedom.
Kinda reminds me of the music in Zelda Ocarina of Time. Great stuff. I saw this album and really didn't think it would be worth it. This would be some great music to do X to.
@PearlJammer07 No, man, no! It's a great album even without ecstasy! I can't believe this got voted up so damn much. If you need drugs to influence or enhance your imagination then just stop listening to music.
@PearlJammer07 doing sex to this? :D my girlfriend would get a psychosis. songs like happiness in slavery would be better :D you would get a straight beat to bang on
I'm sorry I can't bring myself to look at ANY of these...at least until I hear the album for MYSELF. From the looks of it, everything seems to be really constructed well...but I want the soundwaves to hit my ears first before my taste and interpretation for the song gets "corrupted" or interrupted by an outside opinion
i LOVE this song! it's absolutely amazing. <3 i find it funny that the opening reminds me of the driving sequence from the movie "but i'm a cheerleader" (type in the search box: "but i'm a cheerleader 2" to come up to the scene that i'm talking about).
I hate how you think that other people cant have honest opinions. Newbie doesnt make you invaled to like the songs. Oldies like to stay more conservative tho, they tend to always keep with the old songs. Its time for you to evolve just like Trent did.
hey, he has the total right to do whatever he wants in music also, this new style makes me think about aphex twin selected work ambient album, he s a crazy ass cunt just like reznor used to be and he released this shoking instrumental album wich was great ! i love every album of NIN !!! all of them, although with teeth was kinda difficult to accept...
When Trent said instrumental I thought in somehint like just like you imagined, or leaving hope, not something like this sorry I guess I have to keep listening over and over again until I get to love this new cd.
I think he chose "Ghosts," to make it more of an impact when you think of the concept. Mainly, the album was made to emulate dreams/day dreams, and knowing Trent, dreams (especially with this upbeat, happy, youthful song), are gone. He only has shells of his past, things that are long gone, but still 'haunt' him, whether it be a joyful memory or a sad one. Each "dream" is a ghost of better times or worse times. It's both a happy and sad album, I believe.
I meant spirits as pictures taken to illustrate the record seem to me very connected with nature or just being as general...there is nothing that suggest haunting, as for me : ]
I love this song from the album when it comes to more upbeat, fun type of songs. I've always had the image of a child running about, curious of his world, and inquiring. It's definitely the child-like aspect of a dream or a memory of when you were small, exploring your world and learning new things. I think this song is the best at conveying that innocence and inquisitiveness. A great song for happier times.
I really like it :)
