Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I - 9

[SONBoomer]

"Living in the city - that's the life! - Dad used to say.

Gee, thanks. Screw ya, pop! This place never had any hope. Why would it given any to you?! Anyways. I was glad you found your job in the metro. While I was left to slack off, no school, no job, nothing to do. Ya know I hate that! But you were so HELL bent on me finding "the right track".

Screw you, dad.

Running. That's what I always liked. Not on race tracks, just anywhere else. Rooftops, for example.

I'm still running away from fate..."

[oisaacsf]

why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

[Johnnys1700]

@oisaacsf why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit?

[oisaacsf]

@Johnnys1700 exactly! this reminds me that scene.

[jonb5150]

Ghost album was supposed to be the soundtrack for the movie One Hour Photo with Robin Williams

[Johnnys1700]

@jonb5150 yeah and they cut it cuz it wasnt good enough.. dumb ass move.. 2010 and the oscar goes to trent reznor and atticus ross (the social network).. 2011 and the oscar goes to trent reznor and atticus ross (the girl with the dragon tattoo)....... the director of one hour photo commits suicide

[severyn1982]

i just want to be in a hot spring in the mountains with this song

[RyanfaeScotland]

@NeoGeoOneTwoThree Typing in nin derp brought me here.

[stopislamophobia]

there's that city feeling to it, but whenever i picture it, it's a slum, stretching as far as the eye can see, and the absurdity that has become the human condition for so many.

[Aceticacidplease]

I've written a scene in a story... A hero, fallen from grace, walks down a bustling city street. She receives nothing but dark looks from the people who no longer trust her, no longer want her around. She pays them no mind, because for the moment, she's nothing. Nobody. The colour is gone from the world and all is bleak and grey. Strangely silent despite the chaos. If I could envision it in film, this song would be playing in the background.

[mypocketmypocketface]

I'm curious to know what everyone's favorite song from ghosts is. Mine's got to be number one still. This song's a close second. They are just so calming.

[Arakayified]

I reeaallllyy like this one for some reason...

[mrB0DYmassageMACHINE]

used it in my latest urban exploration video, fits perfectly

[christianfff]

@mrB0DYmassageMACHINE sounds like an awesome vid porduction.. where did you explore?

[Thescreensaverr]

This reminds me of my Aunt Karen, taking a dump, on Christmas morning.

[zach13NIN]

Sounds like what happens in a house after everyones asleep.

[sbonnell123]

The ripping sound in the beginning sounds like a needle on a record....

[KrimUnleashed]

art..

[SteamFiveEyes]

This was the music in "The Cat and the Coup"

[777colchado777]

Robots.... A civilization very advanced and ran by robots.....

[monkeyslaye]

I wish this song was one of those 20+ minute songs... I keep relaying it.

[leeuhhhh]

death.

[ThePCMaster2000]

right now I'm working on my Dubstep remix of this song :D this song is really special, not only the 3/4 beat, it has something mysterious and dark and at the same time it's beautiful. it's just awesome! I love it

[Ldinos]

portal prelude!! lol.

[ThePivotRPG]

@Ldinos

Yeah, they had a fabulous selection of music.

[KingCrimson776]

I feel like I could make this type of music pretty easily, yet this sounds really great so I doubt I'd do it this well. Maybe I'll try it and see.

[SpasicMovingPictures]

@KingCrimson776 u sound like an idiot, good luck though! :)

[KingCrimson776]

@SpasicMovingPictures I'm just saying, it's damn simplistic. That doesn't mean I don't like it. Also, saying "u" instead of "you" makes you sound like an idiot.

[SpasicMovingPictures]

@KingCrimson776 Good jorb Bozo the clown, just like the real life clown! I'm clapping for u, clown boy!

[KingCrimson776]

@SpasicMovingPictures Wow.

[sonicusr]

@SpasicMovingPictures

@KingCrimson776

you're both idiots for thinking text makes noise.

[RetardedAndRandomTV]

what the heck is in the pic? pens, studs, wathe?

[sh160389]

@RetardedAndRandomTV

Its a equalizer console.

[sh160389]

@RetardedAndRandomTV 

[aurlis2012]

i'm making an lsd soundtrack for next week, this song will be on it as i close my eyes and

[LoadedWingshot]

How on earth could I forget about this beautiful song? how? Like, it's so beautiful in many ways!

[BrianMalusa]

One of my favorite ghosts so far

[Ladeebug59]

I'm locked in a dark room. Everything's in shades of gray. I know I'm lost. I don't know how to get back to where I was, or how to get where I'm supposed to be. I don't ever see sunlight; just the moon, when it peeks out over the window. The moon's taunting me - pointing out my errors. I try to block it all out, but it's useless. I'm drawn in to it; then I pull back.

No. No, I will not stop. I will not give in to my errors and flaws.

.......

It's a greedy, droning war.

[PrimoVids]

@Ladeebug59 I don't think so, Tim.

[LoadedWingshot]

It's very creative I must say, never can it ever doubt me

[TheLovesoul1]

@MrSpartan083 what did you see after you died i died of a drug overdose then decide to come back.

[LPersUnanimous]

Holy hell, another ghosts song that doesnt suck. this is... a miracle.

[wtfmandudeguy1]

makes me think of.....portal....prelude

[Oxyster7]

this song makes me think about a small boy planting a tree that grows into a forst, then at 1:36 a fire starts in the forest and it rages, consuming all of the trees. Then at 2:12 another boy comes and plants another seed and a new tree grows again.

[yeahsee33]

A couple of these songs remind me of Metroid (NES).

[AresBrutus]

This song gives me tears when listening to it while imagining this comic happen all before me thinking about the father and how he would feel like at that moment. h(t)tp://a.yfrog(dot)com/img19­3/3762/china6.jpg

[ExpertiseGamer]

It's cool how their music can bring out each person's different imagination of what they think this music would best go to.

[Boowey116]

a poker game, with a bunch of old men smoking cigars

[MTR112012]

This song makes me think of walking through the arch in the Death Room at the Ministry of Magic.

[Cytr0s]

The Hive : Inside this matrix of a busy city - automobiles passing every second around me - i'm in this bubble of slow motion insanity - yet serene peace calms and surrounds me. Is there really anybody listening? Music paints a mental picture - the element of breaking free - Thank you Trent for allowing me to escape me.

[DigitalVirtual]

This song just makes you sit down and think about life. Great song, great artist, and especially a great album.

[Alternate2GOP]

Never have my woofers jiggled that much in a song's first twelve seconds...

[inactivism]

This whole album, but this song in particular remind me of The Eraser RMXS. If you like this song i would highly suggest checking it out. It's the Japanese release remixes of Thom York's "The Eraser".

[losghost]

Now that I listen to this again, it sounds an awful lot like Aphex Twin's song Nannou. At least several of the same elements and overall feel/sound.

[Arleer157]

Absolutely flawless, and mentally relaxing...

[GLaDoSable]

sadly only 3 of ALL these amazing songs where in the 2007 mod of portal. portal:prelude.

go..whoevermade portal:prelude!(sorryi'm not good at remembering names.) and VALVe. NINE INCH NAILS!!!

[warrenoaksfishing]

i hear basketball and whales

[EverDownward]

I kid you not, I think Silent Hill when I hear this track.

[taotapp]

Whenever I hear this, I think of someone coming home from a funeral, or some sad event, and the whole time they're just trying to continue from where they left off. They'll slip back into their habits, or maybe do some odd chore or something. xd

[Plur307]

how many times have you died?

[cnvshs]

many times and i live to tell the story...

[gangstajacy]

@Plur307 just finished my 9 lives, now running on emotion

[RedReala]

Hmm... this song, it reminds me of a city at night perhaps, when it is all quiet. i love it, very beautiful.

[aaaagk]

@RedReala Reminds me off Pandora Drifts from metroid prime.

[AX53B60]

@RedReala Quiet and chilly :)

[christianfff]

@RedReala yeah, like the music for a shortfilm, about a rat living in the gutters of the city. the story goes in depth of the struggles of rats, and how signifficant their world is to them. with this music, i could get the audience to feel sorry for those infested bastards... all the ideas..

[blo0red]

Love this tune...

[TheKillCommander]

This song is amazing, i love it.

[AsheyaLalintoth]

When I listen to this song on my ipod, I can always feel the part at the beginning in the back of my throat. It feels so weird. ._.

I love this song. It makes me think of the ocean for some reason.

[nizecup]

In some case, me too buddy. I feel like, my head is going to go down and ''turn off'' of my body. That remembers me of a certain sensation... I can't descrive it right now. But it makes me feel pretty energic. Out of tune. Strange... But with some hope inside.

[kaoshurrikane94]

Ghosts 9...the quality sounds poor..or just industrial..the piano is what makes this song..it has a dark feeling..but not evil..perhaps a lonely or ominous feeling?

[drreeeaaaaa]

My favourite. Work of sheer genius.

[FoShizzle713]

very nice song....this is the stuff

[narutokun87]

This is the best one. :]

[GEORGEBISCUITS]

Best one

[dancinginfidel]

this one really does sound like a ghost......nice !

[jimroot85]

[nehemiasz1]

[CircularTheory]

Can't believe no1 commented here. One of the best songs.
