I thought it was gone... but I guess it will never be. Why is so easy to imagine bad things instead of good? why do we feel whole for so little time and then, remain empty afterwards? why even if we're good, we still want to ruin it?
Maybe it will sound diffrent but I think this music is masterpice. It is so deep theat whenever you hear it it makes you to rething many of your thoughts, choices, decisions you've make. There are not many composisions to have such impact at least on me. Trent good work.
I remember hearing this track in Natural Born Killers, when Scagnetti and Mickey are aiming weapons at each other before Mallory stabs Scagnetti in the neck with a stick. Definitely one of my favourite instrumental tracks by NIN.
I should be happy now, I have all I've ever wanted in life, but I have been so sad and ready to die for so long that I don't think I can remember how.
@OroborusFMA Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if thier wrong. A sad, slow, beautiful funeral march, that was perfect then, and even better now.
@shadowpero I suppose you can check out Trent's other instrumental work. There's stuff on The Fragile like La Mer and The Frail, stuff on Still like Leaving Hope and the Persistence of Loss. There's also his four-album instrumental work, Ghosts, and he's also done the soundtracks to "The Social Network" and "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." I hope that helps.
The downward spiral is still one of the absolute greatest albums I have ever listened too. I've always been a fan of rock music and EDM and NIN has been one of the only bands that has been innovative in both genres. Please take the time, turn off the lights, put on some quality headphones, and listen to this whole album. Perhaps you will catch a glimpse of the magic that gripped me over a decade ago when I was still in my early teens.
I have always had problem with Trent. Sometimes I think he's an egoistic artificial bastard and sometimes I think he's genuine, sensitive and deepminded artist...
First NIN song I ever heard. I was at my friend's and he had this album on. I borrowed it from him. Next was "Broken", then "Pretty Hate Machine". The rest is history......
One of my favorite wordless songs of NIN's. In my mind, I see myself from the beginning... everything is comforting and safe, soft and warm... and my soul is protected beneath those layers. As the melody progresses, it is life... and it wraps itself around the warm soul, turning it colder...until ice forms, clinging to it, surrounding it... separating us from each other and ourselves. Will we find a Warm Place again, before the end?
@Sylvanwhisperer..........and the inevitable end becons ....all that is of true beauty and warmth shows its true face without the slightest of regrets, the lightest shade of blue it becomes eventually decaying and becoming one with its maker, leaving its small but somewhat significant mark upon all it has graced without it being forgotten.........rip carlos rodriguez....
@Sylvanwhisperer look up the "lyrics" for this song, you'll find some. and very nice description of the song, how long did it take you to think it up.
@Sylvanwhisperer hole...e...shit. You just earned yourself a subscriber. I loved reading that comment, it was like reading the shortest book in the world and I understood ALL of it! Nice job man.
@LiVeNleRn123 lol. Thank you for the kind words. Writing has long been a passion of mine, for it is the only way some of this beautiful madness in my mind can seemingly escape. :}
@Sylvanwhisperer yeah no problem. I love writing myself but I'm no veteran like yourself, I now see this song in a whole new meaning haha. Which is good because I actually interpreted the song in a more dark sort of avenue but what you said made me look at it differently, thankfully lol.
this song makes me think of when you die,and then your soul is left traveling,searching for some thing,perhaps something that was never fullfilled in this life time,a warm place where you feel as one with the earth,a warm place of the soul of joy and happiness,where you left the pain and sadness behind you,you become content and realize the meaning of this life and you move on to the next one,to learn some more.
This album is so far advanced beyond today's modern pop crap that it is unquantifiable. NIN's work should literally shame all other metal and industrial bands currently in practice. Such lyrical and musical depth, they are unparalleled in the genre. I enjoy The Fragile as much as The Downward Spiral, but whichever NIN album you choose, you can be assured, it is superior to 95% of music releases today.
When I was in high school I used this in a film we made for a class. I'm 31 now...
It's dark, but still beautiful and hopeful... Reznor is so amazingly good at conveying emotion with his music alone, Easily one of my favorite artists.
@ibelieveinbob he didn't steal it.. bowie was an inspiration... more of a homage. then again you could just be trolling nin fans... dunno... whategver... i like this better than crystal japan.
@TheQuixoticDragon That's why I put the word "stole" in quotations. It's pretty clear that he didn't steal it from Bowie because he's friends with Bowie.
This song when I close my eyes and put my thoughts away for the moment, I feel like it takes me out of body .....I have listened to this song and all of The Downward Spiral for 16+ Years and all the songs are just as relevant now as they were back then. Truly a brick in my foundation:)
The first time I heard this song, I didn't know what it was called, but I remember it made me feel very safe and calm. Once I knew what it was called, I couldn't imagine a more perfect title. I imagine the feeling I get when listening to this song is a call back to how I must have felt in the womb.
To me, I have always thought of this song as being the final phase of self destruction, when everything is gone and you have a comforting freedom from the misery that drove you over the limit.
This song, to me, represents a certain unique and hard to describe emotion. When stuck in a cycle of anger, anxiety and fear, the moments when you are simply depressed become a relief, everything becomes still and you can take comfort in the silence.
Funny how this song stirs a lot of the same feelings in so many different people, without saying a word. Since 94 when I first heard it, I felt a sense of wandering and loss but ultimately balanced out by a sense of ease and hope. Beautiful.
The man finds the one space left in himself that holds anything of value, the one place that remembers love, remembers concern. Desperate, angry, lost, he finds the one light, the one warm place left inside. The reprieve from his downward spiral, the one that shows him that he has to stop what he's become. The best thing about life is knowing you put it together, and what he has put together is far from the best. So he can only deconstruct and hope. hope it ends the pain and brings warmth.
@awake352 this is unbelievable, i read a different comment from you on another song, and again your insight and perception astonish me. i wish i knew you in person. if you're a girl, i'd marry you, if you're a guy...well...i'd just have a intelligent conversation with you, and that alone would be a great change of pace for me. i'm surrounded by morons and imbeciles. ignorance is a plague, pray for a cure.
I had a friend that took a belt, took a belt and hung himself. hung himself in the doorway of the apartment where we lived. and this song always makes me think of those days.
The thing I love about Trent is he got off the junk and his music did not suffer as a result.Other bands who had these issues and got clean,there music sucked afterwards.Trent is a rare breed,love that cat!
@RobCardIV I'll be honest I've tried opiates, but just tried, thats all. But hey thanks for insulting me, because god knows that everybody who ever tried opiates is a addict, because RobCardIV said so. LOL
@ravenouscolonelhart Well, just be careful.........it for me was just a time and place........and interestingly enough, that same time was when I discovered this album.
I've got to say, when I heard this song /watch?v=7lHWckOiubY&feature=BFa&list=PL3B2A74F9F7E565EB&lf=plpp_video off Battlefield 3, it immediately reminded me of this song.
in my view this is song means a place inside your soul/self that is still hopefull and caring, that has not been destroyed and altered by addiction,deppresion,anger ect.
@jesseroundy you said it exactly ..when i was deep in my addiction i would sleep to this song and pray to god for help, GOD answered been clean for almost 15 months.
Great music to listen to while staring at a beautiful sunset. I remember after I joined the navy, I was alone a lot and this album reserved a place in my cd player
Evocative of coming to term's with one's mortality in existence... the din of humanity during the day, buzzing like locusts, destroying the planet and each other in the name of greed, yet ultimately capable of good and evil. we're all so different, yet in the end we must join together in the place of Sleep. in the end we must rest our weary bones from the rest of this planet. clear ourselves away for the hope of a better, new generation, the future.
i think "the warm place" refers to death, death as the everlasting appeasement of the soul. the song to me sounds like the painful yet comforting acceptance of death
This song perfectly describes the feeling we get during the few moments of happiness in life between the chaos and disappointments. The moments that remind us why we keep hanging on.
@timjones066 i think this is possibly the most lethargic song i've heard in my life, its a little baffling that u find it evocative of the happiest times of someone's life.
@eugTheCrotch Because this song is a brief moment of peace and beauty in an album filled with darkness and hopelessness, so i associate it with the brief moments of true happiness and peace in my own life. I'm surprised you would say it's "baffling"; any song or work of art is open to interpretation anyway.
@timjones066 true that but people's visceral senses are about the same in everyone and music appeals to those as well or primarily to them. some things aren't so widely open to signification to individuals from similar cultural backgrounds.
I think that this song represents Trent when he was on heroin, which is pretty much all it is. A representation of what it feels like to be on heroin/ opiates. Beauty, Power, and warmth (the same feeling you get when fuxed on opiates) wrapped up in audio track.
To me this song describes the brief periods of lucidity that sometimes come between the cycles of mania and depression in bipolar disorder. Everything feels alright, neither hopelessly depressed or completely manic, although you always have the knowledge that things will take a turn for the worse soon enough.
@Grunge4ever1993 Close. Trent made this track during his beginning heroin phase. Do some strong opiates, listen to this track, and you'll understand why this track was made.
this track was created when trent R started doing heroin. david bowie also did a lot of heroin, as I'm sure you know. the track wasn't influenced as much by david bowie, as it was by heroin. the feeling of the track (relaxation, power, and warmth) is very much the same feeling one gets when doing strong opiates.
@TheToolSound Because denoting something as complicated and genius as good music like this, into a simple story of "is about Heroin because herpa derp" is sending the complete wrong message. A warm place, as the title suggests, could be interpreted into many different meanings. Nearly every person on earth would have experienced what they would consider a "warm place" - and many would not even mention heroin.
A warm place is your heart (in this case, the narrators.) Something that nothing, not even the over-powering mechanical voice, could ever reach or take away.
wow, everyones comments blend together, are we just different from the mainsteam? YES! and for many years have felt alone in this feeling of who we are, the different.
I thought it was gone... but I guess it will never be. Why is so easy to imagine bad things instead of good? why do we feel whole for so little time and then, remain empty afterwards? why even if we're good, we still want to ruin it?

@timjones066 i think this is possibly the most lethargic song i've heard in my life, its a little baffling that u find it evocative of the happiest times of someone's life.
eugTheCrotch 5 months ago
@eugTheCrotch Because this song is a brief moment of peace and beauty in an album filled with darkness and hopelessness, so i associate it with the brief moments of true happiness and peace in my own life. I'm surprised you would say it's "baffling"; any song or work of art is open to interpretation anyway.
timjones066 5 months ago
@timjones066 true that but people's visceral senses are about the same in everyone and music appeals to those as well or primarily to them. some things aren't so widely open to signification to individuals from similar cultural backgrounds.

Who else thinks that especially from 1:45 to 2:20 it sounds like "The Carnival is Over" by Dead Can Dance?

I think that this song represents Trent when he was on heroin, which is pretty much all it is. A representation of what it feels like to be on heroin/ opiates. Beauty, Power, and warmth (the same feeling you get when fuxed on opiates) wrapped up in audio track.

To me this song describes the brief periods of lucidity that sometimes come between the cycles of mania and depression in bipolar disorder. Everything feels alright, neither hopelessly depressed or completely manic, although you always have the knowledge that things will take a turn for the worse soon enough.

@Grunge4ever1993 Close. Trent made this track during his beginning heroin phase. Do some strong opiates, listen to this track, and you'll understand why this track was made.

A falsely calm instrumental in which you can feel David Bowie's influence!

this track was created when trent R started doing heroin. david bowie also did a lot of heroin, as I'm sure you know. the track wasn't influenced as much by david bowie, as it was by heroin. the feeling of the track (relaxation, power, and warmth) is very much the same feeling one gets when doing strong opiates.

This song is about Heroin because when you first inject Heroin you get a warm feeling surge across your body.

@TheToolSound the song is about personal interpretation you fucking idiot. Something great artists give to their fans. get a grip.

@devilMiro It is about self interpretation so I interpret it being about heroin.

@devilMiro And why you so mad? jesus.
TheToolSound 5 months ago
@TheToolSound Because denoting something as complicated and genius as good music like this, into a simple story of "is about Heroin because herpa derp" is sending the complete wrong message. A warm place, as the title suggests, could be interpreted into many different meanings. Nearly every person on earth would have experienced what they would consider a "warm place" - and many would not even mention heroin.

A warm place is your heart (in this case, the narrators.) Something that nothing, not even the over-powering mechanical voice, could ever reach or take away.
