1:36 Is great. 'I want to fuck you...'

[MAPURITE27]

the lyrics is awesome

[xxxmark]

dark, creapy, sexy, dangerous....but absolutely artisticly fantastic. i love it.

[Silvawolf100]

Awesome song. Honestly. But just to stir things up lets see how well PETA remembers this one. lol 

[Slide2671]

Welcome to nihilism.

[GiantSplooge]

it's just closer, isn't it?

[awake352]

@GiantSplooge

this is an alternate version called Closer to God, it has different music and Trent re-recorded most of the vocals. The original version is called Closer, and was the main single and the album version.

[LordWolfOR]

@GiantSplooge actually it is an awesome recreation of closer and to me, is not even a remix but a whole new wonderful song... all hail monkey jesus!

[MoondanceTheWitch]

This sounds really... Good O_O

Thumbs up if you thinks the same!

[PerrdyTurtle]

Thumbs up if this scared the shit out of you

[7heReaper]

@PerrdyTurtle this video scared the shit into me

[MorrocoMadeMe]

I <3 It!

[fivebythree]

Exactly the direction audio Trent should have stayed with. All that new crap, was just that.

[DivaGyrL04]

Poor monkey



[Gothos]

This is what plays in our heads while we're being all civil chatting up hot girls. Or am I insane?

[SayNOtoVEVO]

[klojinum]

@darkdragonred19 I think reading this will be enough to do the required damage.

[wesselbindt]

@darkdragonred19

RIGHTO, OLD CHAP, RIGHTO.

[darkdragonred19]

@wesselbindt

thanks

[blackout57]

57 persons have a pussy !

[droogiesaint]

get in my mouth?

[OhCrapMyNameDoesntFi]

lol bewbs

[creepstargalactica]

trent isent a musician he is an artist that uses sound instead of paint and this is one of his masterpeaces!!!

[DelphinusMAch1]

@creepstargalactica That's just a pretentious way of saying that the music focuses on aesthetics and symbolism rather than just a catchy beat, and that it does it well. Also, learn to spell. =D

[MajickDemoniack]

@JohnyKimbled I'm trying to prove to my friend that reverse psychology is Bullshit. Thanks for supporting me. 

[klojinum]

@MajickDemoniack Uh, him 'complying' actually WAS reverse psychology. You can't 'prove' it's bullshit, because it's real. It WAS the contrary thing to go along with your wishes, that was the point you missed.

[MajickDemoniack]

Please, for the Love of God and All that is Holy, DO NOT THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT.

[belanfetamina]

So fuckin' seXxXy!!!! I just looove this song!!

[TheBulzomeGuides]

This is the BEST version of Closer (in my opinion).

[uberspazzcake217]

omg this version is EFFING HWOT

[JKenn]

@mx2k Please make this downloadable.

[Wuvsykins]

@JKenn It's on the NIN site.

[ACDCISCOOLNESS]

microwaved nin deep fried

[ivanmyh]

masterpiece

[benloe1]

This is the best

[MissZalternative]

remind anyone else of the video for "help i'm alive" by metric? (METRIC "Help I'm Alive" - a Deco Dawson short film) P.S. this is not spam or in anyway trying to promote metric so please don't flag this. this is a genuine question.

[Capcanister]

@MissZalternative

Well a little, however I would say it is the METRIC video that is reminding of Closer, since the Closer video came first.

[doctorshifty83]

Genious editing!

[tomobunce]

Leeching off Reznors works. not good, this is his own period.!

[InjectedWithAPoison]

I've made a fan-art inspired entirely by this remix: e-maxim . deviantart . com / art / Nine-Inch-Nails-wallpaper-no-3­-184138854  (remove spaces).

[tubewindle]

Because Im lazy...could someone tell me what this is? is it an official remix by trent with an unofficial video edit? or is it an unofficial remix with an unofficial video edit? Either way, itz pretty awesome and inspiring.

[nihil2009]

@tubewindle official remix, unofficial video. 1st track off the 1994 closer double disc import. Arguably the best version of the song EVAR.

[ImMichaelTaylor]

All hail monkey jesus.

[SUSHIJUNGLETREE]

f#cking sick as LOVE IT

[palbo4]

not the best version, but still pretty kick ass lol

[sweetmelissa7422]

OMG!!!! That was Perfect! Everything about this song & video was taken & emphasized! The sexuality & sensual aspects were at a peak throughout the entire song! I was holding on to my chair the whole time! lol Great Job! Rock On~

Now, let's hope y.t leaves it alone! **WE WANT THIS VIDEO & SONG HERE!! LEAVE IT ALONE! **

[KnoxRoxMySox2006]

[xXdArKcAnDiXx]

great song but i think its a little much........

[IReallyKnowBetter]

why is there a little girl sitting on the chair?

[amnioticgrapeskins]

I used to steer clear of Closer remixes like the plague cuz I was sure that nothing would sound as good to me as the original, but this is fuckin AMAZING, and the editing of the video is just MARVELOUS.

[watsonctsw]

im srry but i couldnt folow the video at all lmao

[captnwaite]

im definately alot closer then ive ever been!!!

[perpiotrredman]

No, I do not live and breathe live recordings and bootlegs. That would miss half the point of Trent's amazing production skills.

[TheFairiesofGreen]

Dude!! Sheer Awesomness!!! Props 2 Ya!!~

[EvanD47]

I dig it man, most of the videos I see are just songs pasted on something else that doesn't fit at all but this works real well. swell job.

[RedScaledKnight1]

boycott songs by vevo! only watch songs not uploaded by vevo. songs uploaded by vevo will have vevo in the name of the uploader. for example, this video is uploaded by 1119masterchief, a song uploaded by vevo will be authored by 'vevonineinchnails' or something to that effect. if u support me, trim this post to make it less wordy and post this everywhere else!

[uselessdeath]

[Flutterbye8P]

[smutjunkie74]

@Fran144 We need a Youtube forum with minimum standards!!!

[bels10]

GODDAMN IT! You tube sucks for taking all the decent versions of this vid off YOU TUBE SUCKS

[psych1414]

[NuclearLullaby]

The human heart beats at 140 BPM (On average) This song does not!

[MotionPictureMaster]

Yeah if you're running a marathon

[Godin037]

@ NuclearLullaby sure, it beats at 140 BPM.... if you're high, or after running a few miles.

mine goes probly at 120BPM right now, and i ain't running.

[mx2k]

i'm glad to hear that !

[anduril9969]

@lucifersgallows OMFG, didn't you take fifth grade? Grammar + Spelling issues much?

[lucifersgallows]

@anduril9969

Hm. I have spelling issues? If you would actually take the time to notice I used shortcuts to words a.k.a internet abbreviations. And I also changed the spelling of some of the words so I would not put my account on YouTube in jeopardy!

[lucifersgallows]

@anduril9969 Oh just in case... .a.k.a mean also known as... Just in case you do not know that abbreviation.

[lucifersgallows]

@lucifersgallows * means :P

[MrObamaHATESwhites]

@lucifersgallows

Jesus fucking christ on a stick. Your english sucks. You sound like fucking dateline nbc's to catch a predators 14 year old decoy. shit.

[lucifersgallows]

@MrObamaHATESwhites

Nice username.... Get a life!

[Phanaoshot]

Is this some kind of Kraftwerked version? LOL xD

[NineInchSamusAran]

It's the song "Closer To God" from the 1994 Halo 9 Single of the same name.

[Cassie86R]

i can't help but to like this song, i remember this song from when i was in grade school.

[A7XKoRnRocks1]

it's so obvious that marilyn manson got influenced by this and Trent really helped him

[NineInchSamusAran]

Really, such a prude? Human bodies intimidate you?

[perpiotrredman]

This is not so much a "preview" of a 2008 "version" as it is a recut of the original "closer" video with the "Closer to God" mix from the original single's B-side. (B-Disc really.)

[mx2k]

2008 version of the "editing"....

[perpiotrredman]

@mx2k 2008 version of the video edit? It's a nice recut to fit Closer to God, which is an awesome version of the song. Thank you for making it. That version of the song needs more nerd love.

[theevilbat187]

@perpiotrredman you suck dude, it was just an awesome remix of an awesome song with an awesome VIDEO REMIX, now have a coke, a smile, AND SHUT THE FUCK UP, REZNOR IS A GOD

[perpiotrredman]

@theevilbat187 Maybe you don't own the Closer double Maxi like I do? :)

[theevilbat187]

@perpiotrredman maybe you dont own 33 albums of NIN, including when the whip comes down, from woodstock, and the rusty nails non-stop mega mixes, i live and breath industrial sir, i have skinny puppy, ministry, and nails in the most complete collections youve ever seen, now bite my shine metal ass.

[Hobbyist56]

@perpiotrredman do you ride the short bus?

[perpiotrredman]

@Hobbyist56 do you troll youtube comments?

[rekkof]

you can stir it you can mix it but I still want to bring you closer to GOD!

;)

[varanmerten]

Wow, very well done.

[bigb0ngz]

its called the play button jackass lmao

[TakutoNinja]

He doesnt wanna keep pressing it. he likes to listen to music in the background.

[Sayakshati]

youtube needs a repeat button already. This song is just too good to listen to it only once.

[dzeruel]

I cant watch it only phone whywhywhy?

[RainbowHorror]

This is my favorite remix of Closer.

There's something animalistic about this song that I just love!

NIN > today's commercialized crap

[Hackmoune]

yeah this is badass but i prefer the Further Away remix, now that´s badasness in its pure musical form

[lwcheers]

These lyrics are about a very DISTURBED PERSON. Think about them...."my whole existence is flawed".....what do they really mean. Perhaps a brainiac out there can explain. I have my ideas.....

[DusteDdekay]

First off, let me her your ideas, second: I'm no brainac, but I'd like to share my interpretation anyway. That sentence, in this context, I think refers to the intricate web of inconsistencies and opposites that exist at the very root of human existance. When you examine something close enough, it can loose whatever meaning one tied to it, and if you start to ratioalize a new meaning, it manytimes ends in something cynical and unimportant.

[silentsmokeNIN]

my interpretation is that the whole TDS album is about a person's hypocritical and pointless pursuit to gain control. and i believe that this particular song is about how the character in the album is trying to gain complete control by taking out his sexual desires on someone. thus making him "closer to god." theres a lot more to explain than that but youtube has a letter count. its just a theory though.
