  • Contains Adult Language! LOL

  • badass version, i love it.

  • That was cool but I hated the creepy guy with the goatee lip synching the words the entire way through. I wish that wasn't made in the video, it got annoying and disturbing really fast.

  • love this interpretation of the lyrics

  • i dig the remix bt can some1 tell me what the vid pose 2 b about?

  • @pyromantick this is about the lack of a God and that existentialism and religion go hand in hand. "There is no You, there is only Me. There is no fucking You, there is only Me.

  • @pyromantick You're probably right. This wasn't an attempt to understand his intended meaning, but to show an alternate interp. that (I hope) also works.

    Mind you, Trent was raised Protestant and I've long suspected that (anti-)religious sentiment creeps into his songs sometimes, even when unintentional. So you never know, I suppose.

    Thanks for watching!

  • love this song! and this video is pretty bad ass too!

  • THIS IS ART!!!!!

  • whats this song supposed to mean, a man who fell from grace or what?

  • Could you make the mp3 available on Mediafire? for some reason after I registered for the website it didn't work for me. D:

  • @MsxMisunderstood Alrighty then! Check the description for a new link.

  • @zsOverman I am extremely shocked that you still reply to this video after so long and I am also very thankful for your devotion to continue to hear criticism. I applaud you sir!

  • geiler song

  • Did you make your own hacks? (Well I guess you could call them hacks anyways)

  • jello, play dough, gelatin, tofu. that's what I am. tasteless, confused, mostly indifferent but unable sometimes, to detach myself from the misery of you and the world.

  • gott damn awesome

  • It would have been better in 2D. The mood would have worked better.

  • what is the idea of this Video, Please explain it to me

  • sorry i dont quite undersatand the vid, coulg someone explain :) thanks 

  • epic

  • Nice Work! Thumbs up :) what did you use to make this?

  • @deaconx This was made with The Sims 2 game, some user-made mods, and a few other tools and editing tricks (some composited shots, etc.)

  • I don't know if this has anything to do with this video, but I really, REALLY hate Xavier Renegade Angel.

  • awesome vid

  • remix of a great song and video foced by coorporate bullshit!!!!

  • Brilliant remix & video

  • where to get the song ?

  • great fucking song

  • I like the EKG/City Skyline thing you did, nice touch. And I don't think the transperancy thing spoils the mood at all.

  • yeah this awesome, good work

  • Just shows that Sims Music videos aren't always done by some 13 year old girl in 10 minutes, then pasted over some emo song. Really good job Phil. The video is one to remember.

  • brilliant, cheers mate!

  • Both the idea and the presentation, is quite good. But sometimes the video was just to literal. Like when the pastor became transparent? That really broke the mood. But otherwise very good one, thanks.

  • @DAudIcI Yeah, you're not the first to have said so (the transparent bit), and I've come to agree. Thanks for the comment!

  • wow it was cool, but it kinda creeped me out.

  • Magnificent! At first, I though you were just setting a mood that fit the song, but you were really depicting a story that fit the song.

    You put a bit of yourself into that work, and that's how good stuff is made. Thanks.

  • SIMS?

  • Yeah man, like others have said, this work has genius.

  • Brilliant.

  • Comment removed

  • You are a genius. I had an experience almost exactly like this, and I think I came to the same conclusion as your pastor. The music was a haunting, almost scared version of Trent's original, defiant one - I'll be downloading it - and it fit the story you told like a glove. Definitely the best video I'll see this month. You also get a round of applause, but you probably won't hear it, and I'm too lazy to write one out :P fantastic job, though, seriously well done.

  • A Sim experiencing a crisis in faith.Wow.Genius.

  • omg i cryed

  • best mix!

  • Who was Tristan? If I may ask...

  • PIMP PIMP PIMP PIMP AS SHIT NIGGA! This is so awesome. Nice mix.

  • sweet interpretation!

    awesome video dude.

  • This is both a phenominal remix, and a phenominal video.

  • Awesome video. Great Job! Love nin!

  • totally awesome... can't just imagine the work!!

    teh best edited sims vid i've ever seen, and that's no lie!!

  • Nice Visual. Clean dope Remix too

  • Wow, great job, i dont play the sims, but still this is nice :)

  • what is this remix called?

  • Wow, that's unbelievable. I love this version. I've listened to it about 15 times now. EXCELENT use of dynamics. Do you have anything else?

  • dude the remix is awesome ! i love it !

    & i think making him a priest was actually a really great way to put the story in place :) its really good, nice job!

  • incredible

  • I wouldn't think it would be possible to miss the point to this kind of magnitude, but there you go. Thanks for watching anyway.

  • Amazing as to how utterly WRONG they were with that call.

  • zsOverman....did you write this remix or did you do the video?

  • brodyr, I did both actually. Thanks for watching / listening!

  • Um did you watch the video you just commented on???? I really hope not because thats...wow thats would be sad...

    Anyway This video was amazing!!!!! Amazing job on it!!!!

  • Hey Bloodsugar. Check out the video and listen to the lyrics. It will come together for you.

  • Way to miss the symbolism...

  • Overman, this is such an incredible version. You totally rock!

    5 stars and added to my fav's :)

  • This song makes a little more sense to me know with this video. I love how you grabbed the essence.

  • hmmm putting a priest as a narrator in this song makes little bit different accents to lyrics meaning....

  • GREAT. Both Music, and Video (could've been just a little less slowmo like and the clock scene... I think it's unnecessary)

    Except that = ace

  • The Mix is awesome, and the video is better the awesme? if thats possible. Great work Guys!

  • wow.. don't leave that priest with that sleeping kid alone!!!

  • Hahaha.

  • Wicked! Loved it!! 5/5 and favorited

  • Machinima that makes me proud of being a NIN fan, a game designer, and a writer!

    Amazing interpretation of the lyrics and tone plus an ingenious animation!

    I'd love to discuss the ideological view shared here. Is there a "plot interpretation" thread going on?

  • hahaa the tape on the little movie screen around 31 sec, is from the ring/ringu

  • Actually, it's a very old video of an eclipse, but it does look a lot like The Ring thing doesn't it?

  • Wow nicely done. Very deep video. Well thought out.

  • remix is great but wtf is up with the video? made me laugh more than anything.

  • Is there anyway i can get this version on my ipod or something?

  • As ironic as this comment will be here...

    Christ on a pike & nails! This is hella good!

  • good video. I like your version of it. good job on the video itself as well ^^ keep it up.

  • Very nice interpretation of the song, well executed remix and music vid. Awesome.

    May Tristan rest in peace.

  • ITs super video and song too

    but have somebody this song i cant find it prease post link there thank

  • wow Overman, this blew me away man. Great job man!!

  • The best NIN remix so far and extremely well done clip! Original idea and perfect realization.

  • It's crazy how hearing the piano in Only without anything else makes it sound sad.

  • good remix if u made it also like the video it realy does suit the music and the actions fit and its not even chesey so i comend u 10/10

  • Great song but... the sims?

  • This is Epic but i love this remix of this song!

  • good job, but you just ruined that song for me, bc this version is a lot more epic and now im going to think the you is God instead of what i originally thought about the world existing in your own mind and not being real

  • overman? did u update the video? the last time I've seen it, i was a bit shorter and the visual material was a bit different?! or is my brain just f*ked up?

  • I'm not saying your brain is f*ked up... but no, I didn't update the video. :)

  • You know why Overman rocks the machinima crowd? It's because he understands the importance of narrative, and isn't afraid to innovate. This video is a great example of this difference... nobody else is making shit like this. 99% of the machinima crowd out there would have concluded with the kid dying, with absolutely NOTHING happening before that. Overman is superior to these fools and cretins.

  • Fun Game, Cool Mod and wasn't this song on the Fight Club soundtrack? The lyrics fits

  • nope, this wasn't on the fight club soundtrack.

  • Dude, this song was released after fight club.

  • Yeah but, Tyler inspires all. I'm sure he jumped into Trent's head at the same time when he inspired Chuck Palahnuk

  • This is a stunning video!

    Nine inch nails and Sims are one thing great together. But also the creativity of this type of work really puts it at the best.

  • wow... that was utterly amazing!!!

    best Sims music video i've seen!

  • perfect, just perfect!

  • I have never seen your work before...but you have tapped something here. This evoked some pretty sting emotions, and i appreciate what you put into this. It is VERY well done.

  • the backmasking says i just made you up to hurt myself and sometimes i can see right through myself, pretty obvious

  • ...wow, very well done. Keep up the good work.

  • This is so good! I can't stop watching it.

  • Woah, that was great. Execellent use of Sims and NIN no less :D

  • just impressive how the song goes with the video...I watched it like 100 times now and I still love to watch it...respect to your work...I will definitely check out your website for more.

  • the best "musical and !! ideological !! remix "

  • so this is about a priest whos son or something dies and so he starts loasing faith in god? really well made video amazing

  • How can this not be 5 stars?

    Very well done video!

  • Excellant!

  • cooool ;)

  • nice work

  • I feel like laughing everytime I listen to this song. It makes me feel better if I ever go to some existential depression or some shit.

  • The video was trippy, I thought it was interesting that you diplayed the point of view of a priest.

    R.I.P. Tristan

  • this is so fucking good!

  • he does? how you know this.

  • At least I will have a surprise (I hope) - love your "itallian" created delusion!

    All religion is a control mech for idiots!

    Efilnikcufecin

  • Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll wake up and be a fish in the ocean or maybe I'll wake up and be dog in the year 2090, maybe nothing.

  • Be very careful that in your self righteous zealousness that you don't damn your own soul by judging others. A real christian would never say that. It is NOT their place to judge. You should only give his message. You do NOT know what god is, no one does but if you're going to spout religion then at least follow it properly you freaking tard moron. You are going to burn in hell. I can say that cause I'm not affiliated in any way. but you saying that just makes you a hypocrite. Seeya in hell.

    read ok.

  • aamzing

  • Wow, I've never really been a fan of machinima and all that, but this is pretty damn good! The remix definitely isn't bad either.

  • It's very wonderful. You best be the god of sim mods. >>

  • A joy to watch and to listen to... Well done!

  • only the good die young

  • Nice Video! Realy good

  • one word,WOW!i love it!!1

  • AWESOME video and song. this is how i feel sometimes, like i was born and i instantly fell into a coma and this is it. i sure do hope this whole life of suffering isnt really :'(

  • I can't remember, but, I'm pretty sure this is nominated for something in the 2009 OMFFS

  • I think it's all very good; the video, and the music. These guys are just trollers.

  • Thanks, FlyingBurritoMan and everyone else for your support. While I'm glad most of you don't feel this way, I don't mind people saying the remix butchered the song. When people are fans of an artist like Trent, they can get very protective of the original genius of his work, and develop very strong opinions on the subject. I'm comfortable with the unfavorable opinions, it's all good, but I'm very glad many of you liked my take on the song.

  • By far the best ReMiX yet'

    Thank's 4 putting it out there!

  • Great vid =D

  • i like it, FUCK ALL THOSE HATERS OMG! they dont know how hard it is to make a sim video that makes sense GOD DAMMIT! lol k nm

  • Yeah he needs to go to language arts class.lol

  • Uhh... lol @ the other comments

    Interesting remix; I liked it. I'll bet Reznor would find this pretty good too.
