How to Destroy Angels - A Drowning (Lyrics) +Mp3 Download

[zeduka]

Singing sad lyrics with no conviction nor emotion at all, being praised because you're married to an actually talented composer and lyricist, got boobs and pose in bikini... Sad.

Singing is just like acting, you actually have to live, to feel what you sing.

I'm going back listening to NIN and Portishead songs. Trent & Beth aren't even acting: they're genuine. And that's precisely what makes them way more beautiful to me than any shallow asian babe ruining a good instrumental track.

[890hogbackrd]

Good catch trent

[holysmoke1999]

Trent its John Lennon again. Imagine there's no talent, its easy if you try.

[TheOathtoOrder]

@holysmoke1999 hahaha

[EugohFiel]

Her name is Mariqueen Maandig. she's Trent Reznor's Wife. He's the mastermind behind the group.

[pablost07]

@EugohFiel He Is.

[holysmoke1999]

@EugohFiel Her name is YOKO.

[heroineadict]

Is Trent Reznor part of this band? just curious.

[TheOathtoOrder]

she stole my 7 year old niece's poem for her lyrics!

[LMartinez976]

TRENT! This is JOHN LENNON calling from the grave. You press the record button one more time with YOKO-LITE, and I will rise and seek my vengence!

[thomesandy]

@LMartinez976 I would agree, but there are two reasons why I can't. 1) Nine Inch Nails was only ever Trent officially anyways, so you can't really break up a solo act. 2) HTDA is freaking amazing. So no harm done.

[ausdigaty]

@choiceorchids ZOOM! over ur head, and thats why ur a short bus kid!

[ausdigaty]

@choiceorchids ok i get it know ur a short bus kid, in that case HAVE VERY SPECIAL DAY.

hahahaha

[ausdigaty]

@choiceorchids ur either blind or a homo if u think she's fugly!

[jajadx]

@ausdigaty the wife looks like a raging tranny whats more homo than that

[ausdigaty]

@jajadx your fuckin dumb!

[TheOathtoOrder]

@ausdigaty it is you're, not your. might want to get your grammar straight before you start calling people dumb. LOL!!! HTDA sucks.

[ausdigaty]

@TheOathtoOrder GET A LIFE TROLL

[monoperative]

@TheOathtoOrder If you're intent on chiding others for poor grammar, may I point out that your statement 'HTDA sucks' is grammatically incorrect, as HTDA are a group, not a singular entity. The correct statement would be 'HTDA suck'.

[burn435353]

@jajadx seriously? i mean i dont know too much about transgender people, but im pretty sure they look somewhat manly, this chicks got hips and huge tits, and her lips look they can suck a golf ball through a garden hose, so dont hate cause you cant get anything even close to that

[jajadx]

@burn435353 do u have eyes? who would want to get something like that? u see countless prettier girls walking down the street lmaooo

[burn435353]

@jajadx im not saying shes the hottest chick on the planet, but i wouldnt turn her down if she came on to me in a club, and you know you wouldnt either

[LucisFerre1]

@jajadx, This woman is obviously beautiful, so back to your vapid cookie cutter blonde barbie dolls. That's where you belong.

[heroineadict]

@jajadx Congratz troll, you actually had people thinking you were serious about calling her ugly, lol.

[ausdigaty]

@choiceorchids dude youtube doesnt have a brail function?

ha

[ausdigaty]

@choiceorchids and u sir are fucking BLIND!

[ausdigaty]

it hurts my head to wrap my head around how beautiful this woman is!

[excelsus666]

glad i stumbled across this, its amazing :O

[TheJazzyBReal]

The leader singer is gorgeous!!

[ps474paul]

L is for lame.

[no5W155]

holy flying fucktards she's so hot

[SkitzMitz]

Changing the vocals to female does not make it different Trent.

I like his stuff, but c'mon he could at least try something new. I'm not saying what he does is crap, but if I dare say it; it's getting boring.

[rordesigns]

@SkitzMitz This isn't Trent. This is HTDA. RTFM.

[SkitzMitz]

@rordesigns Whats RTFM? I thought this was Trent's new project, and the singer is his wife? I would say my bad if i'm wrong but pitchfork*dot*com/news/38686-h­ow-to-destroy-angels-a-drownin­g/

[SkitzMitz]

@rordesigns I think theres a reason why all these comments mention the words 'same' 'nine inch nails' and 'trent'. But yeah, excuse me if i am wrong

[NathanExplosion1989]

i find HTDA's beats and music are the same as alot of nine inch nails stuff. different voice, same songwriting process. Does not stop it from being epic as fuck tho

[SirJeffreyDahmer]

I'm wondering if Trent was closing an episode finally with this song .

I could be wrong but it seems this is linked to La Mer and The Great Below somehow .

Perhaps about him finding inner peace .

I may be completely wrong but could somebody enlighten me on this ?

[typeanoise]

God, he always does that same old piano hit! It's enough. Do something else.

[Esperanto77]

I prefer her in her old band west indian girl...

[yagamiraito]

If Nine Inch Nails and Massive Attack had a baby it'd be this. Amazing.

[Malisyn]

@yagamiraito Actually, if Nine Inch Nails just added a female lead on vocals it'd be this. And still amazing.

[hellojkk]

amazing

[DarthLuda]

pitched up... =/

[xangelfshx]

Good song. Can't help but think that Kelli Ali would have made a better singer for this, but she she couldn't get along with the Sneaker Pimps so she probably wouldn't have been able to collaborate with Reznor for long. Still, her voice would have been 10x better for this.

[burgbgm4]

@xangelfshx Well it also helps that Mariqueen is Reznor's wife lol

[Kaatins]

This song somehow reminded me Nin Inch Nail - right where it belong

watch?v=1jAyfGzSaz0&feature=re­lated

btw very good song

[emel21082]

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH OH WELL NEXT! LOL

[Hategrin]

There are things you can do w/ a female voice you can't do with Trent's. So I'll have to give this a try.

Is Trent on vocals in any tracks though?

[Mertule93]

@Hategrin well I think he does backing vocals in The Believers and BBB. Sounds really weird - Trent and backing vocals? :D I like both nin and this, Mariqueen may not be the best singer in the world, but her voice fits the songs :)

[U238andaquarter]

@Mertule93 Remember when trent did his own backing vocals? Yeah those were the days.

[Mertule93]

@U238andaquarter true, true. Hope new albums will be released in the future and we'll have the old Trent back

[Hategrin]

I miss Trent's voice.

This ain't bad though.

[bitragale]

People might think she ruined NIN, or whatever, but I still think this shit is amazing. Reminds me of Silent Hill shit. Also, this is much better than most of the stuff I hear on mainstream radio. Hush your mouths, haters.

[aimalfunction]

why is the pitch changed?

[Guikefoo]

Juste excellent.

[GentlemanofWolves]

Trent Evolves, His Music Evolves with him. Just because you're doomed for extinction doesn't mean he's going to follow you.

[jediechelon]

Amazing. Trent Reznor is God!

[ninefootnails]

hahahahaha!! just imagined trent saying, "Fuck yea, I bang that shit!!!!!"

[lonesalcornbug]

Like my messages ,avaadork.like I said,youre most likely not in the music industry so you know nothing about it.nothing just like you,a nothing and just like the label nothing just like yout

[lonesalcornbug]

How to destroy tweekers.and a female version of trent.what a fucking insult to myself and trent.tori amos has more trent sound than this nobody.she cant bang a tambourine let alone bang anything well.

[AvaAdore83]

@lonesalcornbug you can't do better, that is why you are on here commenting like a little b*tch, don't like it? STFU then.

[Stizou777]

3:45 SCORE FOR TRENT!

[ashleywa68]

Hey does anyone know how her music sounded like before she married Trent. Not like this sounds bad or anything, but she just sounds like a female version of Trent. Just wish I had some originality.

[excelisinsane]

@ashleywa68 well, trents writing most of the music for this band, so...

[GoddessYoga]

lots of us are drowning in delusion, depression, low self esteem... but can we see when others are drowning? From a distance to an untrained eye, a drowning person may look like they're just swimming..

[tinethebine]

shes bad ass an voice awesome if any more good movies coming out she should be sound tracked

[sangrepusyronchas]

GENIAL SIMPLEMENTE GENIAL

[MonalizasToxicKizz]

i will see if i can rly love/like her as the artist she is, bcs other then that she has a wonderful voice no doubt about it, i just hope i can hear her soul in the songs next time. GL and will keep an eye out for the next album...XOXO

[MonalizasToxicKizz]

This is the only song i liked of this album, i hope in the other album i see/hear more of her own artists imprint on the song, since it does sound like alot of the beats are recycled from trent's NIN band it did not feel original or inspiring, i have just recently no more then a month or less have listened to NIN, so i am not a die hard fan, or someone out to get her music bcs she is married to him, i am commenting as an avid music lover, when i hear her own imprint in her next album

[Ashurasonic2Jesterex]

This song has "Downward Spiral" inspired written all over it...

[VaughnTheSheep]

@Ashurasonic2Jesterex I hear more year zero

[TheMissWildShow]

Absolutely Brilliant

[Abbadonsoul]

Legendary. Vocals convey surrender in subtler fashion that most would be able to recognize, let alone empathize with. The song itself is deep, sweeping the psyche into an ocean of melancholic defeatism. Well done, HTDA, you both created perfection.

[h4rl3msh4k3r]

Personally, I find her style of singing this song exceptionally mesmerizing. I feel as if it fits the song perfectly.

[kemiplz]

i've have always been a die hard fan of trent, even still, i am.

i want to point out, not only does he display a true poetic talent, he has morals and stories behind his music, it's not for the average person that isn't really opened minded. ALSO for the people that are curious of the album art, it's absolutely genius, a desert planet, a human skull looking up at the sky, looking up at hope (another planet/moon) and a star/sun turning into a red giant (exploding). this is why trent is a legend

[TheButtersBob]

Apparently most of the people that post here are tone deaf....... There are so many emotions expressed through this song, it's just not the singing...... It's the music......

[GeminiStarWitch]

I think this whole project is quite lovely, personally. Trent Reznor will always be high up on my list of favorite talented people, no matter what he does. His wife does sound like the female version of him, I think, so what does it matter? I think she's beautiful and has a nice voice.

[TheAlmightyMeep]

Fade the fuck away your huge user!

[TheAmberhardy]

dude shes hot and can sing so why dont all of you windbags shut the fuck up.

like you could smash anything close to that.

have a nice day.

[issaacgooser]

that bitch is a mongrel- mutt for sure.

[LeackimMusic]

pitched up .

[daneguitarist1]

give it a break fagbags, nothing will ever be as good as NIN so for this to fall in its shadow, its pretty good

[Axerty1234]

nine inch nails got yoko ono'd

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

Why is trent not singing this? it would just sound better

[Monkeyhead75]

I your WIFE.....I sing NOW!!!

[gooeish]

lyrics fail

[vbronson]

Is this supposed to be a joke ?

[lonesalcornbug]

she is just a flash in the pan kinda like her pan style face.please bring back the magic pan and chizzle that ridiculous face

[lonesalcornbug]

hellp me I am in hell,uglly hell.is it a banshee or is that just marithing

[gangsterkid100]

B00BZ

[1245shadowscythe]

I like her voice, its very NIN-like, except its female lol But honestly I think they should both sing, imagine Reznor putting his amazing vocals side by side with her's. Im surprised he hasnt done that already. It would make already above average music even better.

[StarfuckersMM]

Nice Song 

[MrStarboy47]

What a gay song. With a gay girl.

[MrSaturdayNightSpecL]

I appreciate what you did for me. Thanks for giving it out for free to everyone. That, I really do appreciate. But the hours are gowing dark, the time is glowing in its state. There is nothing much left here for me, just a piece of my shattered fate. I find myself lonely, stareing back at heavens gates. I wonder how much longer I can last. My soul only stitched together by my past. I am treading water but there is no shelter my head bobing in the sea, the sun causing me to swelter. Help

[StPauliGirl78]

Most of you are losers, talk shit when you can do better. Trent will die a musical legend.

[Shadowiff]

@StPauliGirl78 Those people kinda have a point though...his music was better in late 90s when he was still going through addiction, loss, and drawbacks. Back then, you really could call him a legend. Unlike these songs that he created with his wife not long ago, he had open mind and he was putting alot more meaning to his words. In my personal opinion I'd judge this as beautiful, calm, empty.

[droznig]

@StPauliGirl78 Who says he is going to die?

[Chowderro]

@StPauliGirl78 Trent IS a musical legend :]

[BassplayerMurtha]

@StPauliGirl78 Trent Reznor forever :D

[PolDee187]

check the acoustic version youtube.com/watch?v=WMPu8BGd1h­s

[danielboozer]

mariqueen fucks everyone to get what she wants.

[mrsmusicgeek]

@danielboozer she is a ho, what are you gonna do about it though? her sleeping around got her in this band and West Indian Girl. I guess it is true. You can sleep to the top.

[Peridot84]

I really like this..but not digging the bland singing

[erinisntrad]

@Peridot84 : that's how I have been feeling about this. I really enjoy the music, the arrangements...can totally get a sense of Reznor in a whole new style, but the voice sounds emotionally unattached. She has a beautiful voice, but it lacks feeling. Maybe that's what they are going for?

[heathenbreathinfire]

@erinisntrad I think so, I feel it's as though she is channeling trent's emotions for him.

[tattoosjohn69]

mariqueen MAN DIG in his gold and fucking up his legacy/image he had respectfully created all these hard earned years. can't wait for the comeback Trent. Britney Spears had a similar fallout in 07.

[flossiekat]

Would this not have been a great song if Uncle Trent had done the vocals??? I CANNOT TOLERATE THAT NASAL OUT OF KEY VOICE OF HERS!!!!

[RobertoJMartinezJr]

Trent....nice move on dumping Courtey Love & landing Mariqueen Maandig. You are a lucky man!!!

[tattoosjohn69]

@RobertoJMartinezJr she's nasty too. there are many hot and smart girls out there with talent.

[tkivoband]

fuckaly duckaly doo... 3:30 ...she's HOT! Trent, you hetero-bastard! Oh, yeah...nice remix too!

[tattoosjohn69]

@tkivoband she actually has a weiner so technically he is still a homo

[tkivoband]

@tattoosjohn69 i don't mind. i've learned my lession in prison.

[theblueroses0]

her vox are so amateur

[MJYLep]

these guys are great

[snshnprn07]

love love love this song.

[britneytolbert]

love it

[lightpaw100]

great video!
