  • fuckin depressing lame

  • THE BEST BAND ON THE PLANET!!!!

  • just listened to this sitting ripped drunk on my computer with my eyes shut, leaning against the palm of my hand. i feel shitty, but i want more.

  • powerful shit here

  • Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be...thanks, bitch.

  • I miss that girl................badly

  • Comment removed

  • If you wake up not dead thats a good day.

    If you dont set the neighbours on fire thats a better day.

  • this song is pure gold. gorgeous sound.  lyrically compelling. trent reznor is still an amazing artist, but he just can't get back to this.

  • I just anyone to speak the truth .

  • EPIC!

  • The piano in this is eerily similar to 'What I've Done' by Linkin Park.

  • @ImmortalKing2020

    How dare you mention Linkin Park in the same sentence as NIN. You should be ashamed of yourself!

  • @ImmortalKing2020

    Also...you should rephrase that...the piano in the lame ass "Linkin Park" song....is eerily similar to this song......which came out in 1989.

  • @binarystar21 I know this one came WAY before Linkin Park. I was noting the similarity, but I suppose I did so in the wrong order.

  • Still hurts ... many years later.

  • fuck relationship sadness depression is reserved for the people who suffer true loss.

  • insted of all these chuck norris jokes we will replace chuck norris with trent reznor. NIN best band on planet

  • I have grown up over several years with friends that stay and friends that go...I still have no one and think back to everyone I have met and they all remember me. This isn't relationship talk but the friends that all grew up and had kids around me are still in my heart and when I hung out with them they would help make my pain go away. They were always there for me.

  • Heartbreak.... it's a mother fucker.

  • Happiness =(

  • faced with losing someone that you love more than yourself, be taken away from you, forever....20 yrs. later it still hurts.

  • @Smartbme1 Your comment while heartfelt makes no sense. Re read it and maybe write "Faced with having someone that you love more than yourself be taken away from you, forever, still hurts....even after 20 years." I am not trying to be a jerk, just allowing it to make sense to others who unlike me may not understand what you were trying to relay. I too have lost someone who I considered a soul mate and to this day her face invades my dreams so I get where you are coming from. Peace.

  • anyone who listened o this im m very sure will have their own special memories, mine have become permanent, and today is a beautiful day, blessed enough to be able to reminiscent on the good old days !!

  • I wonder whAt he thinks when he looks back at this music... I mean I was right there with him, high as hell, and now with three years clean, I hear this music and think, damn, how the hell did I do it,but then back then, I couldn't do the things that I can do now. Thanks for the video.

  • Clinging fire fifth line

  • Trent should send me a portion of his royalties from this song, it is the story of my life, LOL.

  • just a fading fkn reminder of who i used to be...

  • this song takes me to unexplainable places.......

  • @mmazola18 could u explain it 2 me?

  • shut up now kids!

  • Such a sad song-Reznor-what nationality is his surname?

  • Such a sad song

  • intro is like what we've done by linkin park

  • @andyputra9 lol What I've done XD

  • band*

    

  • the only rock song i can relate to ^^^

  • Eargasm=D

  • I can definitely relate this song with the loss of the American Dream.

  • LOVE THIS SONG!! JUST A FADING , FUCKING REMINDER, OF WHO I USE TO BE...

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!

  • This song makes me miss my lover.

  • What year did this album come out

    ?????

  • @katinasvenska 1989

  • @horrorfilms123 I thought it was more recent

  • @katinasvenska So did I, but I looked it up, and the first time I realized was the music video for Head Like A Hole where it said, in the description, 1989, and I was pretty surprised that it was that long ago. I know it's not that long, but, I've seriously never heard of NIN until this year, though I've heard few songs before that I didn't know where by them. Or, rather, him. I'm just surprised it took me so long to realize NIN.

  • @horrorfilms123 remember selling pages of acid to this shit..lmao

  • Trent Reznor achieved Greatness.

  • flyleaf aint got shit on this song....you can feel the emotion when you hear it....if that makes any sense lol

  • Fortunatlly for all of us. My Dr gave me me something for my depression. I did NOT cure the problem. But it. If your life is horrube and your ready to kill your self. Take a Benzo. They are just as bad. But a pill is easier to stop then a bottle.

    A still living Alocoholic that has had Atavin save his life.

    Please be carefull with the benzo's. they are NOT reallly better the the alcolhol. Use it to help withdrawl.

  • The opening makes my skin crawl EVERY SINGLE TIME I hear it.

  • "you make this all go away" i can relate to this, cause drugs is the only thing that makes depression away, and " i just want something i can never have" means that I want happiness but its something i'll never have. Great fucking song.

  • My conscience, my pity, my hopes disappeared a long time ago if they ever did exist. I still, though, hold on to one single bleak truth: no one is safe, nothing is redeemed. Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do? . Evil is the only permanence.

    Im simply imitating reality, the rough resemblance of a human being, with only a dim corner of my mind functioning. Something horrible is happening and yet I cant figure out why.

    I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

  • @PrettyHateMachine88 lol,what is your deal with American Psycho?Kind of reminds me of myself with Trainspotting,I can find a quote from that book for any situation.

  • This album tore open the Industrial scene like a bag of goldfish. So beautiful :')

  • I feel in love with Nine Inch Nails crawling up and down poles . . . rolling on the floor naked . . . I wonder how Trent Reznor would feel about that?

  • I saw this concert tripping when i was 17, this song made me fall in love wiht NIN.

  • @cybergoddess666 the best !!

  • THE BEST INDUSTRIAL SONG BY FAR ! ! !

  • THE BEST NIN SONG BY FAR ! ! !

  • I like his earlier stuff sooo much more for some reason but I've been researching NIN for like a week now I need to start listening to something else, i was hoping to listen to so much NIN tonight (and by tonight i mean 1:30 - 5:00) I would be DONE with it and I'm still searching for more songs to add to my ipod. Jeeze does it ever get old?!

  • @TheAndiePerson I discovered NIN back in late 2007 early 2008 - Take your time listening to every work. It's weird, you will actually grow with the music itself and you may go through different periods of what you like best. There are so many different sides to NIN and you'll find that obscure tracks are just as good as the most well known. Reznor is a true genius!

  • @churchy99 Yeah I know what you're talking about, i'm starting to get into With Teeth and Year Zero right now. I made a Ghosts video I'm gonna submit since it doesn't look like they've taken it down.

  • love this song love this band 1st concert i saw when i was like 12....its was awesume

  • @cybergoddess666 Same Here!

  • One of the best things NIN ever did. Quiet sinister mechanical decomposition dissolves into madness ... with a tiny final glimmer of hope.

  • @OroborusFMA Fuck yes...couldn't have said it better myself.

  • @OroborusFMA

    gotta give ya props for that comment...poetic and true

  • @OroborusFMA Yes at one point this album was that for me as well, but now I feel these songs give me hope.

  • My favorite song by NIN! I LOVE them!!! I grew up with this music and it means alot to me...=)

  • man, i can remember back in about '94 when I was in 4th or 5th grade playing this music whenever I'd ride around with my parents. it's really a mystery was to what they were thinking, but either way it was pretty awesome that they let me listen to good music.

  • "Grey would be the color, if I had a heart" The fuckin words Trent came up with are so raw. I love this song, I spent many long nite's with this song playing over and over

  • @DogbitE6661 helll yes ...... and so did i .... i love this song .. made many nights a meaning .... dont make albums like this anymore !!!

  • @plastickliberty1 No they dont and its a damn shame. We need to throw away the record companys cookie cutters so music can get back to some originallity ya know??

  • This was MY "depressive break-up" song. I love the emotion in it. Trent's voice is so raw.

  • "Just a fading, Fucking reminder of who i used to be!"

  • part hardy because the world leaders are acting tardy and war will starty

  • The best Album ever made? I think so.

  • @StinkyGreenBud Better than Floyd's "Darkside of the Moon?"  I doubt it.

  • @MrSelfDestrukt7 lol I like The Wall way better... but why talk about Floyd here? It's NIN :D

  • @SuperLAFWorld I like The Wall better too, but in a commercial sense, it's hard to top Darkside...and how is anyone gonna put "Pretty Hate Machine" over "Downward Spiral" anyhow?

  • @StinkyGreenBud Right on!

  • best of

  • i kinda wish there was guitar in the song. this would have been an epic intro.

  • @royalnash Society has gotten WAY too materialistic with their possessions.

  • Beautiful.

  • everyone wants something they can never have

  • wtf this isn't Dr. Phil, stfu about depression and suicide, just embrace the dark beauty of this song.

  • @FatherWarhol Skinhead bastard

  • rgau69 maybe depression is just what you say. and for sure you are just a fucking mentally retarded person.

  • depression is a disease only after that gives up on fixing their problem themselves drugs and alcoholism is a way for a weak minded person to cope with the fucked up choices they made in life.

  • depression is something people have to live with every day whether it is with drugs or without, its not just ok if you say it is. if you feel that way you dont really have control over it-it is a different thing than teenage angst and oh woe is me type shit,if you would rather die than feel the way you do everyday I think it's a little bit different than whining

  • my view of the world is the same as my view of life in the u.s, life no matter where you live is only what you make it.i got a great life because my wife and i work are asses off to give our kids a better childhood then we had.if you refuse to do the same with you life then fuck it shoot your self or shut up.

  • @rgau69 imagine kids not having cloths to wear, place to go to, decent food to eat !! and what about their opportunity my friend?

  • we all die ,we all suffer,thats life

  • depression is an excuse not a disease, to say depression kills people is ignorant.suicide is a last resort for people who want others to do for them what thay lack the ability to do for themselves.( getting picked on,lost my job,marriage falling apart.)they are the leading excuses to kill yourself.everyone of these issues can be fixed without anti-depressants or suicide ,your are no different then the people that blame video games and mcdonald's for people deing fat...

  • @rgau69 Never heard so many flat commonplaces all together...

  • @rgau69 i think you haven't seen the world, and are just makin a comment sitting caplacently at your PC

  • @jasmeet89 RIGHT !!!!!!! TOTALLY AGREE !!!!!!!!!

  • @rgau69 ignorance must truly be blissful then. Depression is a disease to some, culminating in chemical imbalances in the brain that are often treatable. Untreated it may lead to inactivity (as you suggest), self-medicating (drugs, alcoholism), or even suicide. Please you and your wife continue to "work your asses off". But if you have a spare moment or two, read up on mental health or ask your doctor. You may even save a life someday.

  • society has nothing to with how you live your lif...if you work hard and have a real want to have the best life possible good things will happen.most rich people didn't wake up rich they worked their asses off for that.anyone can do it,,,your just another(everyone owes me something) crying im pour and on welfare with a cell phone,internet and cable tv.. dont be such a negative nancy

  • @rgau69 perhaps if ignorant naive people like yourself didnt exist then we might actually be able to help people that suffer from depression, instead of palming it off as weakness.

    Its a disease and its no different to cancer. And it takes lives. Ironically the people that suffer the most arn't idiots like yourself but the most intelligent people in our society.

    Accept you know f**k all about it, and stop preaching your crap

  • @rgau69 - Depression has nothing to do with money. You are confusing depression with disappointment. Many people who are rich and successful in their jobs suffer depression due to an ineffective seratonin uptake in the brain. It really is a physical disease.

  • if your life sux its because your to lazy or to stupid to fix it.... you could be rich too if you put the effort into it..but you wont,you will just blame society for you being an unhappy was of oxygen..you will end up one of those snaggletooh cross eyed meth heads i laugh at on cops

  • I so badly want to learn this at the piano. But... it will bring me to tears every time.

  • suicide is for weak people,we have to many weak and socially retarded people that blame everything but themselves for the issues in there lives.the best chances any species has is for the weak to die off.suicide needs to be looked at as population control.we dont need more crazy or fat lazy, people who lack the basic tools to be a productive members of society

  • @rgau69 Or you could judge each case individually and find out which ones really are weak, or possibly try to help instead of just insult suicidal people who could use kind words more than anything else. Thanks for this, it makes me feel so better.

  • @rgau69 Our society blows and favours the rich, you'd have to be crazy or rich to be happy in it. As for "suicide needs to be looked at as population control", this is arguably the most idiotic statement I have ever read, mainly because ultimately; suicide is a voluntary decision. Regardless this comment does not really connect to this video nor does your's. You fucking imbecile.

  • Lucky snake

  • My dad commited suicide by having sex with a snake.

  • Your a cock.

  • @darkassassin9313 why'd he do that???(000)

  • @darkassassin9313 thats probly the most disturbing thing thing iv heard in a while last nite i saw someone comment "iv been doing cock pushups" on a skinny puppy vid

  • @darkassassin9313 highest thumbs up means biggest downser. i hate kids. u should be castrated. everyone who thumbs up ur pussy ass needs shot. thanks for ruining the internet. when u get kidnapped and murdered ill see a light in the tunnel.

  • @darkassassin9313 Is that funny to you?

  • LMFAO @ suicide being "for the smart people". You go right on ahead their buddy. I'll watch. 

    And laugh at you.

  • @TheMapexDrummer11:

    Fuck you, tough guy.  Spoken like one who is truly ignorant of mental illness.

  • It's actually for the smart people. I bet you really like getting up everyday, working with people you hate, making lousy money, only so you can retire when you're 60, only to either get cancer or get hit by a car. Life's a bitch.

  • Then be original and work for yourself. You don't have to work for somebody else if you are smart enough to do it yourself.

    Take Craig Venter for example. He tried to kill himself while he was a soldier in vietnam by swimming out to sea but after he got way out there he changed his mind and swam back. Now he is the head of several biotech companies and it was his DNA that was the first human genome sequenced.

    For a while he was the official "human". Everybody else was a mutant.

  • A little depressed their huh?

  • No, I'm just suicidal.

  • I cant do it, not being 100% sure whats next That takes balls and life does suck.

  • really try then

  • Yep.

  • @TriggerHappyMariachi amen.....it takes balls to be decent in this world and it takes balls to leave this world by your own hand............takes nothing to be a loser or one of those pieces of shit that cares for no1.

  • @TheMapexDrummer11 no I haven't..................but I know several who have tried..........and several who have succeeded. And yeah it does take balls..........I couldn't do it and I doubt you could either........just so you know none of em are emos/goth/anything else like that. several were engineers that used to work with my mother with no real problems

  • no real problems the would revel to a cunt like ur mother

  • @TheMapexDrummer11 Fuck you asshole. Takes a lot of balls to pull the damn trigger.

  • i'll agree that it does take some sort of courage to pull the trigger. but the courage comes from an extreme fear of facing the real problems of the world we live in. we live in a dark and twisted world today, and as long as we keep running away from the real issues, never will it become the type of world it ought to be

  • @xooropa Yeah, Achtung Baby is definately U2 at their best game. I actually prefer it to pretty much everything they recorded before or after, with the exception of The Joshua Tree, which holds a special place. Otherwise than that, once U2 stopped experimenting after Zooropa and to a lesser degree, Pop, everything went to shit. When I listen to the flawlessness of Achtung Baby and then switch to All That You Can't Leave Behind, I retch and can't go on. Totally incompareble.

  • The grass is always GREENER on the other side of the fence.....

  • I First heard This In Natural Born Killers.This Song Is Amazing.I Can Remember Laying In Bed With My Ex And Crying.She Asked What Was Wrong.And I Said I just Want Something i can Never.I Knew We Would Never Last And It Hurt.This Song Always Evokes Those Same Emotions Each Time I Listen To It

  • don't write every word with a capital letter. it's gay.

  • @BrosepherStoned Wow.....This is exactly how I feel with my girl now and this song is dark and fitting

  • so true

    like everything material

    it brings happiness and inevitably eventual sadness.

  • Has to be the best album of the Eighties

  • I'm starting to scare myself, come on baby make it all go away... mi amor es muy estupido....

    I just want something I can never have

  • chocolate mousse in your pants

  • why do I love this music it's so disturbing

  • @Earthvibration360 The human mind is a funny thing. It's stimulated by things that aren't natural. That's why the odd beats and strange music you hear in NIN's songs are so great. They have a way of taking your mind by storm and no matter how weird they sound, you can't help but listen.

  • @Earthvibration360

    Heh, you think this is disturbing? Go check out Throbbing Gristle.

  • @Earthvibration360 the same reason we do, its something different and we like to have music actually fuck with our heads

  • Perfect in every way.

    Not the first time Trent has attained perfection.

  • amazing song to commit suicide to. im being pretty serious

  • Have you tried self-offing to this song?

  • Personally, I think "Alone I Break" is more worth self-offing to, but this is still a great song by NIN.

  • Just think about the people that love you!!!!!! Suicide is very selfish! I've lost a loved one that way and it took a long time for me to forgive him. What ever you are going through now will pass with time but your death will affect your loved ones forever. Please reconcider, please.

  • @skateNappreciate

    Along with many others.

  • i havent heard much NIN only TDS wich is pretty fucking awsome. but i gotta say best lyric consitency iv ever heard and most sophisticated would definently be NIN pretty hate machine

  • I prefer the "Still" recording of this song, Reznor shows more of a significant amount of emotion on that version; I suppose because during that time he was sobering up from his long time drug addiction. So the song's premise and value meant more then anything at that time.

  • He didn't go sober until after the Fragile, I'm fairly certain.

  • best song ever! you can't fuck with perfection.

  • Pretty Hate Machine.

    Fucking master-peice.

  • you always were the one to show me how

    back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now

    this thing is slowly taking me apart

    gray would be the color.. if i had a heart

    If you haven't cried to this once you haven't lived

  • A friend gives me alot of crap for not listening to this band, while being the huge manson fan i am. I sometimes just couldnt find myself liking reznors voice, but this song is making me grow on him like a fungus. I am going to buy this CD and give NIN a shot.

  • Buy TDS kid

  • thankyou for posting this!xo
