Nine Inch Nails - Maybe Just Once

[Princeneptune739]

that pig is an asshole!

[RussX5Z]

Ha ha ha!! This video is so cute!!

[hambone8080]

can anyone name the samples from this song??

[maxriscgmail]

@hambone8080 The one at the beginning is from a movie called Diner, Its Mickey Rourke and Ellen Barkin and it starts at about 1:14:00 in the movie. I'm still looking for the other sample.

[skippyX87]

love this track. sure, it don't sound like future NIN, but great track all the same.

i have it on the Purest Feeling bootleg, which is like a whole demo album pre-Hate Machine. think only hate machine tracks missing were Sin & Head LAHole (the noisier ones!)

[exclusivetowaitrose]

riddle me this, where are the samples at the beginning and around the middle from?

(the first one sounds like it says "OF COURSE VESPA!"

[skippyX87]

@exclusivetowaitrose i ain't got a clue what the sample at the begining says, i always thought it sounded like "because i really cared"??

[TheSledhead321]

awesome song... the vid is a little strange!!! haha nin rules!!!

[GVNIN]

i think that angel does sound like trent but you can differentiate between the two singers

[blingy16]

1. Angel is a song by Vinyl Sun.

2. Neither Reznor nor any of his studio or live colleagues have ever been involved with Vinyl Sun.

3. The perception that Angel is a Nails song is the result of a series of perpetuated mistakes stemming from a single file upload via P2P claiming it to be such.

4. If you can't discern Reznor's voice from somebody else's, especially after six years, you're either mad or deaf.

Also, this song hasn't aged well. At all.

[h2oACE13]

@blingy16 agreed. anyone who thinks angel is done by nin is retarded.

[Manano09]

lols @ the chickens

[austin4x]

The song Angel IS NOT done by nine inch nails. I have been listening to nails since 1989. I have listened to that track and there is nothing in that music that sounds at all like nine inch nails and that lead singer could NEVER be mistaken for Trent by anyone who has ever heard Trent sing a single song. If it's that easy to fool you then Paula Abdul was really Trent recording under a different name and Mariqueen is really Marilyn Manson minus the makeup.

[pointlessSINdrom]

'TFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.LMAO

[melodiouscanopies]

Aww. Baby Trent singing his guts out. A classic!

[ashkanrabbit]

this is horrific AAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAA

[budzinmypipe]

this is from an extremely rare nin cd called purest feeling the songs purest feeling this and twist(early version of ring finger with slightly diff lyrics) appeared aslong as early demo versions of almost all songs from pretty hate machine thats all i kno about it it has no haalo number but i have heard the whole cd if your a big nin fan its worth looking up

[oOLaneyOo]

This is pre nin .... either Rare Birds or Option 30. Im thinking its Option 30, trent was Drummer and vocalist for them around 1985,.. i once had a cover they did of The Thompson Twins "lies lies LIes" its was pretty RAD!

[budzinmypipe]

@oOLaneyOo and btw your thinking of exotic birds

[budzinmypipe]

@oOLaneyOo and btw your thinking of exotic birds and trent was their keyboardest not singer so it cannot be them

[oOLaneyOo]

@budzinmypipe yeah exotic birds... sorry i couldn't remember the name. i didn't say Trent sang for exotic birds i was talking about option 30 where he played drums and sang. i had no clue what he did in exotic birds so thanks for letting me know.

[DZrache]

My favourite genres of music are New Wave and Industrial, and I am pleased by this missing link.

[RazzberryLemonade]

Everyone says this song sounds happy, but I don't hear it >.> I mean, I suppose it's got kind of a happy tune. But the lyrics, and the way they're sung just doesn't sound happy to me. It strikes me as being more, for lack of a better term at the moment, sad than anything else. Either way though, one of my favorite pieces from Trent, a truly amazing song.

[ninfreek09]

A legends truly Becoming

[hijyn]

oh, and what about "thats what i get"? same kinda love song)) but its on the PHM....weird.....

[Turtl3y]

Does make you wonder what transpired in Reznor's life between these early songs and PHM. ;)

[dragonstyle79]

@Turtl3y a lot of legal issues with TVT records....

[BIGJBIGEBIGC]

wats up with the video,

[jaysterjay]

its a beautiful song, wouldn't of fit phm though...

[tomkyriacou]

The sound of this song is a little bit like the Exotic Birds songs crossed with nine inch nails.

[fetalalien1369]

Their early stuff was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Pretty Hate Machine came out in 89' I think Trent really came into his own...commercially and artistically.

[DLFproductions]

LOL,american psycho refence good one!

[Gyrosprite]

Happy!! :)

[TheGildedStar]

Great song but I don't think it belonged on PHM (or any NIN album for that matter). Not because its not good enough, but because it simply doesn't fit the mood, this is the only "happy" sounding NIN song that I can think of that's not an instrumental.

[Buggman666]

It's funny song, but I think it's not a song for Pretty Hate Machine which is more ... violent

[crossraiyne]

i can see why it didnt make it on the album, but i love it none the less, as much as trents other work

[sonya11Izumi]

absolutely wonderful song that they should have put on pretty hate machine or atleast one of thesingles, but what is up with this video?

[marla1103]

i have the album :)

[xKruspeFanx]

i agree with Clamothy, this song is beautiful and i love it. Thanks for sharing

[mirisjpg]

the vid fits perfectly. Especially the dinosaurs. lol

[bobinchainz]

WHERE the living hell can i find this on mp3? i must have this

[Pentazoid111]

dude , ever heard of the youtube to mp3 converter?

[Peanut5tudios]

The video is like, pure shit.

[Clamothy]

This song, is so beautiful. It makes me smile. :)

[butheadVSbevus]

Does anybody have live in me posted?

[dawnhighway]

I wanna hear the song live!!

[JustCallMeFox]

LOL i was just thinking that

[Princeneptune739]

Trent seems to have a knack for putting life and emotion into musical form... love this song!

[MeInHighDefinition]

f*cking laughing my ass off about the combination of this song and the video :DDDDD

[selfdestructstarfuck]

this should have been included on PHM!!!! love it!!!

[raisin505]

really cool song with an absolutely shit video

[helminthes]

Look at me.

Love's not such a hard word, anyway.

[BrianJunior08]

Here maybe?

[14newt14]

i like this video with this song

[Salvador33HPR]

I like the song with this video.

[NINloverD]

this songs got such a simple but at the same time complex sound which makes it amazing :D trents work from yearzero onward is focusing more on drums rather than sounds building up. his new stuff is good but theres a slight trent reznor / NIN edge that is starting to be forgotten.

trent mastered the industrial / techno sound which maybe one day he'll re-discover and perfect further :)

cool music video too :D my fave bit is the penguins n chicks. or the jumping dino lol love it! xxx

[Chronobeanz]

Huh I never noticed that lean towards drums he now has. Thats so true.

[revolver106]

This is an incredible song, but I don't see what the point in this fucking retarded video is...

[Gatherer31]

SEXIEST SONG of the WORLD ! when NIN was kitsch, it was sooo hot =D

[iamadgod]

what the fuck is wrong with you

[Salvador33HPR]

He's straight.

[Salvador33HPR]

There's vids of him looking in the crowd talking about how he sees a bunch of hot chicks and how he likes big breasts. He isn't exactly gay or bi.

[BUNNYMILF420]

This song is sexy

[RocksyCloud]

XDDD!

[richk1693]

Pretty good song, but the video is not a good mix for the music.

[jpstebbo]

I think it's spot on! Especially 2:37 haha

[richk1693]

lol......

Whatever you say man.

[Mickmandee]

im seeing all these 'rare' nin songs. i must have tons of rares then.. ?

[Rabikali]

wanna have it;

could anyone tell me where to get it?

[chriis9180]

what a break up song. we all move on. just all and everything. this song is great.

[bethmoorahpl]

I wish he'd release a new version of 'Angel'. It's PHM sounding, but it's mostly something all it's own. Same for Maybe Just Once. Angel is something he could re-record for us hardcore fans and give it some more edge.

[NewPrehistory]

Finally! "angel" is not a NIN song. Jeez, NIN fans, can't you all tell that it sounds NOTHING like NIN, and that is certainly not Trent's voice. IT sounds like effing DAvid Usher for God's sake.

[thankyousir74]

No wonder, I listened to it and I was like jeez, not Trent's best. No mean to offend those who like it, but I was like "Finally, NIN released a song I *didn't* like." Now that it's not I guess I've yet to find a song by then that doesn't appeal to me. Wonderful song this one is by the way.

[DZrache]

@blingy16

I was always a bit dubious about the vocals. Alas, the Limewire Effect.

[letsgoforajoyride]

@blingy16 angel is clearly trent singing...

[nomshybrides]

@letsgoforajoyride Its clearly not. See how easy it is to state an opinion?

[insectmind2k7]

@blingy16 I don't care if Angel is a cover version of a song, but it is NIN who did the cover. I've listened to nothing but NIN for the past six years, and I think i know Trents voice and sound. Feel free to call me a prick :)

[deathzeath]

this is sad,but it's hopeful and thats a change,nin what will u think of next? lol trent please don't rap, or i'll call u T.rent and don't sing in spanish or german,japanese maybe? lol nin techno or hip hop, kindof a, i want,i want to, NIN

[mindlessjerk]

TRENT IS ALREADY THE GREATEST RAPPER, EX: DOWN IN IT AND HIS RAP NAME IS T. REZ

search on youtube:El P "Flyentology"

[deathzeath]

lol i've heard that too however he is not rapping in the song he's just on loops lol elect T.rez for the prez i dent to counter dent the world, bush, bent, causing the rat to repent and decay washing his face off this decade, killing his fa cade ending the day...RE-REMIX lol

[angie4josh]

hey you should watch the perfect drug parody!

[maxslap]

we are now awake just posted a cover of this on their myspace. it's like if trent did the song in the downward spiral era.

myspace/wearenowawake

[templeofjahya]

I haven't heard this song in fourteen years!

he should have released this in 87. (maybe he was ashamed of ringfingers first version though...)

[TheMother777]

Oh ya I love it!!! The first one that didnt make me cry, good job My Love.

[MarrriaHasStreetCred]

the sound is a bit different but lyrics arent surprising. i like -nods-

[BecomingFragile]

Oh god hahahah.

The music is so cheesy, but it's such a good song. It makes me wanna do a little 80s dance here and there. ^_^

[BlackIceSwirl]

wow, glad ive heard this! my respect for reznor just keeps soaring lol love PHM era

[steric23]

in addition, lyrics from "sin" were taken from the clive barker story "in the hills, the cities"..you always wondered why he thanked Clive barker in the liner notes for PHM...

[steric23]

the intro sample is ellen barkin from "diner"...just if you wanted to know...

[Steelspoon]

What a happy sounding NIN song, haha.

[Varjazhskij]

How does this sound happy? Effing retard...

[Steelspoon]

The sound is generally "happy" imo. Not as dark as the other ones. Effing idiot, get a life

[Varjazhskij]

Obviously you can find much darker NIN songs and a lot less dark songs as well. At any rate if you simply can not hear how Trent sounds at distress and angry along with the lyrics you are an effing retard. no offense. and while the beat itself is obviously not the most disturbing done by nin to find it "happy" you must really have a light hearted outlook on life. good for you :)

[Steelspoon]

Whatever dude, I ment no offense either :) I just thought that THE MUSIC was had a happy sounding tone ;D I didn't comment on his lyrics or anything. Peace out dawg xD

[luckkylightning]

maybe its the video

[phylextension]

I brought Purest Feeling from ebay but it is not an original since twist is titled ringfinger on it and it is labeled eagle records instead of hawk records. I really want the original for my collection, if anyone knows where i can get one pretty please let me know.

[ManofMystery80]

it's a bootleg anyhow... why not just download it instead?

[phylextension]

Because there is more than one type bootleg of it out there. You can also get it on vinyl, when you're a collector these things matter :)

[phylextension]

I purchased the Purest Feeling album from ebay, but it is not an original since twist is called ringfinger on it and it is labled eagle records instead of hawk records. If anyone know where i can get an original copy i'd be greatful because i really want it as part of my collection.

[fa11End3m0n]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! must...by...halo 0...were'd ya get it lol

[ronery231]

it's a really rare demo i'm guessing the only place you'd have any hope of finding it is on eBay or downloading it through a torrent website

[nicriordan]

Pure genius!
