Nine Inch Nails - 1 Ghosts I

[6DeepKey9]

is this video really so old :O

[SuperWarioSMB]

@6DeepKey9 Yes it is.. and it is really sad :$

[6DeepKey9]

@SuperWarioSMB

it depends on what you think with this song =) I have discovered this song through a Titanic clip :) enough sad, ya? But, it was a video under sea. So this song, more than sadness, makes me think to live for 2:58 under the sea. If you think, it does fit perfectly, with the silent that lives there :)

[SuperWarioSMB]

@6DeepKey9 Hey, i had Nightmare this night because i had this Melody in my head :o

[SuperWarioSMB]

@6DeepKey9 But... i cant stop listen this Song its too beautiful! :>

[6DeepKey9]

@SuperWarioSMB

I know :$ One day I have played it all the day long (I mean it) because it was stimulating myself while I was doing exercises for my exam. And I passed it very well xD I think I am gonna do the same thing for my second exam xD

[xXjessisonfirexX]

makes mee so sad , epecially because i just got my heart broken . this song explains my life story in 2 mins and 58 seconds .

[joey4245]

Reminds me of The Cure "A Reflection"

[SCRSggIE]

wow great one

[ozzzzy939]

Cannot go on any NIN video without someone bringing up drugs, its a trippy experience, but sad.

[UncleHappyHands]

Amazing.

[scafazzate]

i must listen it tryin it with mushroom...

[Tekar111]

This is freaking depressing and awesome

[LMTDefender2000]

i dont know wut 2 say.....i wanna cry but at the same time i dont

[p00ned0wned]

i never thought a grape needed peeling until i saw this video...

thank you trent, for opening my eyes.

[capricrow]

@p00ned0wned you will need to peel grapes after the radioactive fallout blankets the earth.

[fr0gm4st3R14]

0:53 That scared the crap out of me. Nice video though.

[devilhedgehog]

I'am sorry but that doll was a little creepy... O.o But loved the video anyways! :D

[RaVe4EvR122]

This video almost made me depressed haha life really can be like that can't it. Well it won't be like that for me, when one is aware of society's tug and pull one can avoid it and step apart from it all.

[Quixsilver2003]

I MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING LOVE THIS MOTHERFUCKING SONG FUCKING FUCKKK MOTHERFUCKING YEAH!!!!!!FAWDJIAWJFHWIFN!!!!!­!

[masacatior]

how the hurt has begun

[pigsoinkify]

i click. i think im gonna see a solid picture and hear the song like the other ones, but sadly... no, i see this. i say okay it's worth the watch at least im hearing the song, but sadly... no, i see this cow and i think how is it relevant at all to the old guy, who btw is not in farmer clothing. i watch and see all the labels i say okay it's a mediocre puppeteer who is trying to get people to discover him by putting a bogus name at the top. so to that... you reeled me in... congratulations.

[Valholm]

Peel grapes? You peel grapes? WTF man.

[gonzologic]

omg after i finished watching this video my phone rang and a little girl told me "seven days".

[oOsaraOo16]

i love the video! :)*

[rikatuve]

?¿?¿?¿???¿?¿ WTF!!

[azuritereaction]

I think if you would have ended it with him going to bed it would have just nailed it, the ending killed it a little, but still the best ghosts video i've ever seen on youtube. favorited.

[freddybower25]

every time i listen to this song i begin to rethink my being. my existence.

[564955charlie]

so spooky.

[0murduck0]

bellissimo

[DMSwordsmaster]

Puppets?? d_d

[TheStrossus]

Excellent song, ty for posting.

[szalmareka]

It's brilliant!

[zimperliese]

and thanks a lot to everyone who liked it and wrote a comment :))

[SplashOFSugar]

@zimperliese  :)

[jaybot22]

this is one of the best "ghosts" videos. I appreciate you taking the time to upload this for all our enjoyment

[zimperliese]

thank you! :)))

[sgtzero1337]

I'm going to kill myself......

[Jigganis]

I do not permit you to do this manly disaster, you childish explosion. You shall meander your avian powers as the ubiquitous Hawk Man to vanquish zombie Stalin's coquettish forces or my name isn't Steven Spielberg!

[immortaltq]

yeah awesome

[ROEDERBABY]

Amazing.

[VTRN1]

This video is my favorite for this track. I think the ghostly air raid sirens completely go with the somber yet whimsical and chilling video clip.

[cubeto99]

so depressive

[CFamousAM]

Wow.... I think I'm gonna kill my self now

[SenselessKILL]

i think me too

[fistacuff56]

@CFamousAM and they say country music is the most depressing form of music........ well I beg to differ

[CFamousAM]

@fistacuff56 LOL! I no!

[fistacuff56]

@CFamousAM there is more emotion in this song than every country song combined........

[MeryndasBFF]

This is just amazing. Very nice job!! It's almost like this is an actual music video, but made by yourself which is mind-boggling it's so good!

[TheDigitalreign]

ha............................­........

[silentscreamthroe]

wooow, it's AMAZING

[TrollBot3000]

Lol this is so fucking shitty. Seriously, this is worse than waterboarding.

[cory927]

read the description, it means a lot more.

[SayAnything2323]

very eerie. I liked it alot.

[comeondown]

so, wtf ever happened with this contest?

[OrestesValentine]

yeah. maybe it wasn't the "contest" part that mattered, maybe the amount of art it produced mattered more. NIN should do something with the idea, but if not, ppl will still be inclined to run w/ the idea.

[8asli8]

this is absolutely amazing... I love how everything is labelled and compartmentalised - the need for the sense of control provided by that rigidity and preparation is the perfect underscore for the anxiousness of not knowing what is to come - the anticipation.

[27DramaQueen27]

it`s pretty enigmatic at the same time.. it`s full of this weird feeling.. the sort of isolation and smalliness you feel..mixed with dread when walking among the dead in a cemetery

[27DramaQueen27]

makes me wonna cry

[patt0x]

good, though it could be better.

[raphamundsen]

Splendid...

[Forthelulz01]

among the weirdest videos i've seen. maybe i'm just ignorant to what a "good video" is but in my opinion that was just lame.

[Cassandurahh]

1:36 creeped me out.

Amazing job.

[cookiemnstrlvr93]

blank stareeee

[zwiebelhackmett]

the awesome vid fits perfect with that nice track!

[ANONONJEWTUBE]

My God, the cow is scary as hell... Great song though.

[imgettylee]

i love this first track.

i like 4 too so much

[obscureface]

this is just how the end of evangelion made me feel.

sad.....

:(

[champloo12345]

like being alone drinking and reflecting

[JBetal88]

what was the point?

[ezert]

the surreal ambience, wow, it's like one of those strange dreams, you just dont know what the hell is going on, confusion with the images but you want more, and at some point makes sense...

[11507jennie]

I love it, it's perfect. Great job.

[MDMA0D]

poorly made...does not suit the mood of the song

sorry.

[Oogie1st]

great work. thumbs up

[antaceve]

best interp ive seen. perfect.

[TheSchimmi]

wonderful

[sonofkizersoze]

i said it before, and ill say it again. This is a great video for the song. Nailed it. I love this song and i lvoe this video. Thanks zimp!

[chickendoodstudios]

Fucking great..Anyone who likes to lie in bed and just daydream..great album for you i love it altogether...especially this one

[Cheezthis]

Being part of the Millennium generation I never experienced the fear of the cold war... I certainly have no desire to after watching this.

[greedo121]

Excellent effort! This song, as well as this video often compare to my mental imagery of the book "The Road" by Cormack MacCarthy.

Really well done.

[ardley216]

ffs! why dont girls say what they mean!??!!

[dttw04]

i like this one

[insomniacagent]

You wouldn't believe how hard I laughed.

[greysky1974]

great stuff but lose the written sign (in my humble opinion) i think it would add to you video.

[agginym]

something about this reminds me of that movie "When the Wind Blows". really cool video by the way.

[darkwhisper18]

This is one of my favorite ghost vid.

[j22D]

every time i listen to the track, this video sticks up in my mind...

and that's not bad at all 'cause it's beautiful and moving

[VTRN1]

Well said.

[daxwax1]

Very beautiful.

[McGothlette]

Yes! Exactly as one of the visions that piece brought to my mind. I liked the use of marionettes - to me they demonstrate the contradiction between the horror of air raid siren sounds and the innate beauty, innocence, and peacefulness of the composition. Throughout history puppets have been used in many societies to effectively present frightening social issues and help us to comprehend and remedy them. Their use in this vid is particularly endearing and heart-breaking at the same time.

[VaNIN27]

original video

[PhR2808]

augsburger puppenkiste.... ftw

soooo übelst schwules video aber gute musik

[velvetrevel]

creative

[vinney112]

Either 9 Ghosts I or 32 Ghosts IV are my favorite =]

[nellobrown]

Team America, Fuck ya!

[yetislim]

My Fav ghosts track, i don't about you, but it reminds me of the game ocarina of time with the siren sounds at the end

[greatbeyond801]

You'll notice, especially in the Fragile Album, Trent uses a few Zelda SFX's and similar sounding notes using in Zelda music. He also did a concert where he played the Zelda theme. Perhaps he likes the game, I know I do.

[ferretsniff]

Loved this one! fits so well very lonely :)

[metallibrew]

Absolutely amazing. good job

[waterproofpie]

so good....this gives me the shivers

[beer4me88]

wow this is actually really good, it reminds me of the videos adam jones did for tool, you must have had a lot of time on your hands

[TrentsRuiner]

do melancholic and beautiful the vid fits it really well

[kazmelm213]

the music and the video accommodate each other real well. good job

[CSchwarten]

Yeah, I loved that piece. I love how sound just completely re-contextualizes things, and this is a great example. Sad and haunting.

[indigae]

beautiful stuff! you've reached lynchian heights with this one, hehe.

[korroner]

I don't undarstood this video...;/

[nbradley318]

I think it's about the uselessness of fear.

And the way we're drawn away from the simple way things work and tricked into believing that the world is more complex than it is.

but that's just my opinion.

[sibila64]

Stimpy on piano...always haunting...hypnotic...mmm

[MikeThaMunsta]

WOW lmao thats amazing... haha this rocks

love the album too :D so sweet

[robvansc1965]

wow...just wow, i certainly hope we see more stuff like this.

[Steve141986]

Hope to see more of your work, zimperliese.

[Xx12Evanescence12xX]

i like it,

but that puppet is really fucking creepy lol

[Mcyamo]

Well done, sir!

[beyondstyx]

A Masterpiece!

[GanDe616]

this is great it works so well

[smackbannana]

absolutely nice!

[typeonegativefan]

What kind of camera did you use?

[nevropop]

Hey man, nice job! Il loved your work on this song!

[sKitsOo88]

This soundtrack is awesome.

[ghostswatchedalready]

a political statement with some puppets.. wasnt bad, but wasnt all that great.

[anonoodle]

just that there is no political statement involved at all.

[ominousmaximus]

Looks pretty good, not much on the puppet-iske theme but pretty good. Feel free to check mine out same song my interpretation.Good video man.

[dudeanwalker]

I really dig this work, it's eerie,odd and matches very well with the music, good one!

[TheFIyingMachine]

Very nice.

[Lavoraste]

I like this video

[llamapro999]

It kinda fits... It's just not what comes to my mind when i hear the song.

[CRAYON913]

video was very nice.....kinda boring at times but very good in a creepy way.

[rafi2600]

hmmm.. ..for me, it's not like that..

But it is quite a nice work : -)

[conceitarturo]

ok....what?.....sorry I just dont get it

[Joshuabishop]

I love this video.... good work.

[conceitarturo]

ok....what?.....sorry I just dont get it

[themissingpatient]

sweet dude!!

[DuctFilms]

i really enjoyed that one. probably the best one i've seen yet. great job.

[fultron89]

cool. that fits in pretty well with NIN's whole theme of dystopia and year zero and whatnot. 5 stars

[theinfinite]

that puppet was tremendously disturbing..

[bigherbs]

Nice work. Fits the eerie spell of 1 Ghosts 1.

[thastankanator]

If you like this music, you should check out the composer Erik Satie from the early 20th century.  This NIN music here is a lot like Satie's "Gymnopedie No.1". You guys might like it; check it out too!

[KaosuSama]

Thank you.

[bsm1075]

i think this is really neat.

[fleshfit]

like the puppets like the song not so much the imagery maybe in my opinion it could have be edited a little different it does help the distant feeling of the song but sorry kind of boring.....

[masssalem]

It made my IQ fart in reverse 30 total. 9 hours of research by 3000 scientist. 86.5% of scientologist say anal is the future. Man is but hurt. 8 out of 10 people agree this makes no sense.

[Garretthomas47]

i agree. this doesn't make sense. but it's fucking hilarious.

[conceitarturo]

hahahahah, what? I find your comment a lot more entertaining than the video

[Muckaduck]

Next time make your cuts sync with the music. I like your concept though.

[nantosh2]

Great video. Gave an image of 1-1.

[gorgeousgouge]

sehr geiles video, bisher das allerbeste - mit abstand!

[HorusHeresy1982]

Awesome video, really captures 1-1 of Ghosts.

[klownphish]

dude,i have been watching this video with my friends for the past four weeks,and its excellent,you really connected witht he tunes.BoB loves you and so Do I?

[Rabidpiggypigpig]

good

[9inchnailsgirl]

Awasome!

[hannibalsloat]

The guy that made this needs to hear it. Do you honestly think reznor would use this?

[zimperliese]

if you'd take your time to read my replies you'd know already that i made this video without the contest in my mind. simply because the contest wasn't announced when i started uploading the clip. getting feedback from other users is good enough for me :)

[hannibalsloat]

This is really, REALLY bad. Keep trying I suppose, but this will never ever be included in the "Film Festival" and nor should it be.

[aneurysm234]

Where's your video than?

Quit being so negative, nobody wants to hear it.

[xlitchx]

...some people just lack the capacity for abstract thought.

[BLPRODUCTIONS]

It's so calming/creepy all at the same time. Loved it... best I've seen on here so far.

[Ainslow]

very cute

[Pendolse13]

This is perfect as an intro.

The rest of Ghosts would be the fallout...

[zimperliese]

and again thanks a lot to everyone who commented on the video!

[rulitopechocho]

amazing

[EyeOnTheTV]

That started out really well and ended well but I found it too humorous to be as serious as the song feels (and for all out nuclear war for that matter). In the middle he looks in the mirror and sees his commie brother and then takes what appears to be a plastic bag of feces to the radioactive waste basket... but only then can he sleep soundly. lol

[fmofmpls]

Mother earth conscious? I didn't pick up on that all. I think it might be the best video to Ghosts 1 that I've seen to date. Abstract, crude, and yet simple. Nicely done!

[EyeOnTheTV]

Rural defense 1965. Nuclear threat preparedness. Not mother earth conscious.

[lelebeauxart]

mother earth conscious is synonymous with nuclear threat preparedness ...

[zimperliese]

@ lelebeauxart

perhaps in your dreams. not in reality.

[Claan22]

Wow... freaking creepy.

Really puts the song it a whole other light.

[jjjeremm]

This is a very dark and serious collaboration you put together, yet has a sense of humor. I dig it. Kudos!

[ArtisResistance19]

I would have rated this video 4 stars if the footage was really yours.

[quickdraw250]

still you have to give him credit for the thought, it fits the song well

[ArtisResistance19]

slow songs usually fit with slow footage. only reason why this video is good its merely because of the song. i dont mean to argue thats just my opinion.

[lelebeauxart]

Actually, I thought this video was pretty bad ass, unique, innovative, intelligent ... until it started looking all mother earth conscious. Yes, we're destroying the earth. Good. It needs to die. I'm so tired of whiny save the earth videos.

[EyeOnTheTV]

i dont get the mother earth bits in this vid

[zimperliese]

@ lelebeauxart

"mother earth conscious"?? perhaps you should stop looking for stuff like this in videos, since that is simply not there. even not if you try really hard to see it.

[jjjeremm]

I didn't see that at all either. Nothing at all to do with mother earth or nature but mankind. I can see how it would have an eventual effect on our planet but we'll be dead before that happens. Whose gonna plant seeds then?

[CzarnyZazul]

five stars for puppets, I hope they were yours.

[MaikUniversum]

nice

[whozyapappy]

i think this is the best video i've seen to the first track... good job

[IcoVir]

did you make this, i mean the puppet thing? no offense to you or other people and i'm just saying this in general and not trying to bash people but finding clips and putting a sound track over it isn't that hard.

[zimperliese]

you will find all information about the origin of the images of this clip on the right side, under "about this video". and again: i didn't make this video with a contest in mind, i started to upload it half an hour before the contest and the existence of the group was announced. i made it spontaneous after stumbling over the propaganda ad while listening to ghosts - there's nothing better to kill a boring, rainy afternoon!

[IcoVir]

hey don't get me wrong i'm not condemning you for doing it.

[zimperliese]

sorry, seems i tend to sound harsher than i want to when i use the english language *blush*
