Sometimes in life we build the courage to reach for help, and sometimes it can feel as though only the worst possible thing answers. If only the character of this album realized how strong he really was, putting up with one of the hardest fights imaginable. It only takes a slight shift in perspective to see what you were once so blind to. This song is perfect in describing a piece of the human condition. And it manages to do so without needing words. Your version is just as beautiful in portraying this.
Wow, simply perfect. My Dad died a year ago Saturday and I have been thinking about him all day. He is cremated, but still not buried due to covid-19 restrictions. Your gentle touch to this cover sums me and my insides up real good. Thank you ❤️
I totally understand. My dad died early March 2020 right before the world shut down. He’s also cremated but there haven’t been any services yet. It’s such a deep and painful feeling, but music like this always soothe that hurt. Many blessings to you.
I didn't think was possible, but you did it. I'm been a huge NIN fan for over 30 years, attended a dozen or shows in several cities, first one in 1994 when I was 14 years old. This is the ONLY cover I've ever heard that captures Trent's mood exactly. Perfect.
Even stripped down to a solo piano, this song remains incredibly moving - as you said, the harmonic foundation is just so strong. Another excellent cover!
How strange, it's winter and yet my eyes are sweating. I mean, how else would you explain the shiver that ran down my spine. That exhalation at the end, it carries as much emotion as the song.
When I was a teenager, I played this song on repeat. It was comforting to hear my feelings in sounds. I know every note and at what speed. Your version comforts me more. Thank you. I needed that.
If you want to see a rainbow, you have to be willing to sit through the rain. And here amidst the downpour, in the unsettling rawnesses of reality, I am comforted by the familiar pain of this song. Thank you
That was beautiful. Thank you for everything you do. This looked like it took a slight toll on you at the end. Please take time for yourself and enjoy the non-digital world.
2 years later and this ended up in so many playlists, that I basically hear it daily. It's been said before, but if this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going.
Love the way you kind of let the rythmn start to degrade right at the end... similar to the way Trent ends piano lines when he plays live. Loved listening to this!
It's covers like that that remind me just how insane it is that just some sounds from little vibrations have such a resounding affect on me. Pure nostalgia, serenity, and happiness all from some simple strings vibrating air. Wild.
This song is such a life boat in the storm that is Downward Spiral. And I just read your description as I was typing this... so interesting that we have a similar emotional reflection of it. I love editing image captures to this.
I was a nin fan since with teeth was released but your series really made me appreciate their music on a different level. And inspired me to learn a warm place on a piano :) Thanks!
Thank you for this channel, your covers, and putting in the time for all this. These years are getting harder and harder and I'm not sure if it will ever let up. But your channel is a source of peace, light, and revived inspiration for one of my few remaining passions in life. So thank you. Just thank you 💙💙💙
I've really enjoyed your channel since I recently discovered it. This video especially shows your emotional connection to NIN and I think many of us share that connection.
Learned this a couple months ago, still play it for enjoyment from Time to time. Always a fantastic tune. I play with dynamics and get very quiet at moments to enhance the fun of it💕
I just stumbled across your channel last month and was immediately taken by your passion for the music - not just the theory, but the way great music makes you feel. A Warm Place holds a special place for me, as I was 14 when the album was released and the contrast between this song and the rest of the album was immense. It was just so beautiful. I used to put it on repeat and go to sleep to it. The resolution on the last note always gives me chills, even 27 years later. Thank you for bringing so much love and passion into your analyses and covers.
Ixi, I love this!!!!....Girl, You are one of those who radiate out, feel, emotions when you play. That made me cry! In a good way! 🖤🖤🖤 You take however long you need too, till your feeling it's right, on the stuff to come. I patiently await. I'm so thankful for finding, You, and Your channel! We are so short staffed at work, im salary...so last month...80-90 hours a week in the kitchen. You make it easier. Something to take My mind away from work. And back to when I was young gigging at diff clubs in deep ellum.
This cover is much more straightforward, than one You played in the end of the last video. This is still so beautiful, but for me that one was way more touching: gentle, thoughtful... Lack of words. Thank You!
OMG, I have cried to this piece too many times to even say... but I love this take on it! It is such an emotional track to me. My best friend had just passed away and this was the first song to play in my car on the way to his wake... hard for me to even listen to it without the thought of him, but I know he's in a better place! Love all of your work!
BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED!!! SPOT ON!!! YOU ARE OVER BRIMMING WITH TALENT MY FRIEND! LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDS SVG HOW MUCH I'VE LEARNED FROM YOU AS YOU DISECT TRENT'S WORK TRACK BY TRACK!! YEAH YOU'VE GOT A VERY GIFTED ABILITY TO HAVE THE SKILLS TO NOT ONLY BREAK DOWN THIS GENIUS'S WORK, BUT YOU CAN PLAY IT JUST AS WELL!! KEEP ON WITH THE VIDS!!! YOU'RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND SO MANY OTHERS!!!! ROCK ON BEAUTIFUL FRIEND!!!
The timing...the notes...the harmonies...the ending...I'm floored.
"the eye of the hurricane of The Downward Spiral" is an amazing description
Girl we don't deserve you, especially for how little UA-cam is probably paying you for your amazing content. Thank you🙏
🙏
This! ^
Im gonna subscribe to the Patreon on the 1st of the month. I love this content so much
yess! Got some really fun things planned for June. Thank you (in advance) for your support! 🙏🖤
Speaking of which, does she have her info out there for to send dollars?
Im not crying you're crying
😅
Yeah. I am.
Lol NOPE! Seventeen seconds in and I'm certain I can't handle watching this at work. I'll have to wait and cry on my own.
Yeah, I had to wait till I was home alone before I risked watching this.

@@flightgravity7483 We're in this together ❤️
RIP to your dad!!! Don't feel bad. Life is beyond our control. Im sure your dad would understand!!!
Damn you Trent you genius. Nobody comes close to Pink Floyd,Tool and NIN in my book.
Not often I'm at a loss for words hearing a cover to a song I know well. Beautiful job.
I didn't think was possible, but you did it.
I'm been a huge NIN fan for over 30 years, attended a dozen or shows in several cities, first one in 1994 when I was 14 years old. This is the ONLY cover I've ever heard that captures Trent's mood exactly. Perfect.
Your expression on the last 2 chords of the song :(
Thanks for sharing these moments :')
I'm very protective of Trent Reznor and the art that he creates. But you are worthy. So, cool to be you.
Some things shouldn't be covered.
Yeah. i agree with this statement. This is worthy.
@Liveliedub
He's nicer than I am.
My soul contains a relfection of TR.
The sweet and salted
The happy sadness
The chills we wanted
The joyful madness
The pain now halted
The euphoric warmness
Thank you for this 💙
from "the eye of the hurricane". powerful knowledge.
Even stripped down to a solo piano, this song remains incredibly moving - as you said, the harmonic foundation is just so strong. Another excellent cover!
My favorite Nine Inch Nails song... thank you!
The best thing about life is knowing you put it together.
How strange, it's winter and yet my eyes are sweating. I mean, how else would you explain the shiver that ran down my spine.
That exhalation at the end, it carries as much emotion as the song.
Beautifully done. My favourite version of this classic
gosh thank you!
I'm now in a cozy place somewhere in the hidden part of my mind.
Our generation of Erik Satie... This song is like some kind of healing glue for the trauma abrasive inner rage inducing NIN "feels" we experience..
that middle section definitely reminded me of Gymnopedie no 1
Now that was just AWESOME ❤🙌🏽🤗
This is the most accurate and best depiction of this song I have ever heard.
When I was a teenager, I played this song on repeat. It was comforting to hear my feelings in sounds. I know every note and at what speed. Your version comforts me more. Thank you. I needed that.
So beautiful. This video helped me hear the song in a way I haven't heard it before.
If you want to see a rainbow, you have to be willing to sit through the rain. And here amidst the downpour, in the unsettling rawnesses of reality, I am comforted by the familiar pain of this song. Thank you
Thank you, Joseph. 🌈
Beautiful. I don't know how you'd do it, but I'd really dig your take on "At the Heart of it All"..!
That was beautiful. Thank you for everything you do. This looked like it took a slight toll on you at the end. Please take time for yourself and enjoy the non-digital world.
2 years later and this ended up in so many playlists, that I basically hear it daily. It's been said before, but if this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going.
Epipremnum pinnatum N-Joy, Philodendron scandens (and brazil), Zamioculcas Zamiifolia, crassula ovata(?), Schefflera
That silent outro was a great touch.
Love the way you kind of let the rythmn start to degrade right at the end... similar to the way Trent ends piano lines when he plays live. Loved listening to this!
it's a magic song full of powers
❤️ Such a nice way to start the week.
TDS is one of my favorite albums and this is an underrated masterpiece.
Beautiful cover.
Still one of my favorites from DS. Such a respite from the angst of the rest of this phenomenonal work.
Yup, 3 min long chills. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Holy crow, this is fantastic!!
I’ve never been very good at expressing emotions with words, so I’ll just say thanks.
I played the viola for 6 years as a teenager and decided to pickup piano due part to NIN (longtime fan) and because of this great breakdown. Thanks!
Right on! Trent would be proud 🎹
Lovely. Beautifully played.
My favorite channel for that moment if i need to feel deeply touched.
It's covers like that that remind me just how insane it is that just some sounds from little vibrations have such a resounding affect on me. Pure nostalgia, serenity, and happiness all from some simple strings vibrating air. Wild.
Incredible!
You have it figured out and are blessed with the ability to share it with us. We aren’t worthy. Thank you for being you.
This song is such a life boat in the storm that is Downward Spiral. And I just read your description as I was typing this... so interesting that we have a similar emotional reflection of it. I love editing image captures to this.
Just as moving after a dozen listens.
Thank you for connecting with us.
🙂
I was a nin fan since with teeth was released but your series really made me appreciate their music on a different level. And inspired me to learn a warm place on a piano :) Thanks!
Thank you for this channel, your covers, and putting in the time for all this. These years are getting harder and harder and I'm not sure if it will ever let up. But your channel is a source of peace, light, and revived inspiration for one of my few remaining passions in life. So thank you. Just thank you 💙💙💙
seriously though that was wonderful.
My all time favorite instrumental song
Why do thumbs down people exist, especially this. The best part about life...
...is knowing you put it together.
It's all about the resolution to that final chord :)
Thank you for sharing
Hauntingly beautiful. This song saw me through some tough times
Wonderful.
This is so beautiful. It's amazing to find people that are so enthusiastic about NIN. Thank you for your beautiful content, somehow it helps a lot.
Absolutely gorgeous cover. Thank you for that.
I've really enjoyed your channel since I recently discovered it. This video especially shows your emotional connection to NIN and I think many of us share that connection.
YES MA'AM, Preciate you
Brilliant! I love all your NIN breakdowns. Even as someone who can't play music, I find them fascinating. Knew this cover would be great!
I remember covering this song many many moons ago. I loved it, and love this.
Learned this a couple months ago, still play it for enjoyment from Time to time.
Always a fantastic tune. I play with dynamics and get very quiet at moments to enhance the fun of it💕
Correct moodlighting for this one. Made me feel warm in my empty heart
A wonderful and moving rendition of a favorite piece. There's quite a strong Cure vibe going on here. Thank you Ixi, you're the real deal.
2 years later and I have them on my play list and listen daily.
That was really soothing. Thanks, Ixi.

Was watching someone on IG trying to figure out the synth parts for Closer, so I came to YT to look for NIN piano covers and it was you all along!
Beautiful!
pretty fucking awesome actually
Goosebumps
This is BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for this ixi!
You are my new "Calgon"... You truly "Take me away"!
Breathtaking.
You really captured its spirit. Thanks for all the great content.
Beautiful 🙏♥️
Loved this and your analysis of the song too. Your version sounds like it would have fit perfectly on the Still EP.
Haunting!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic! I really enjoy the content you are sharing. Music theory explained in a compelling way that even a dummy like me understands/appreciates.
really looking forward to analysis of Reptile. Such a good and underrated song
What a lovely cover 🥰
Simply beautiful.
Just incredible
This cover is much more straightforward, than one You played in the end of the last video. This is still so beautiful, but for me that one was way more touching: gentle, thoughtful... Lack of words. Thank You!
I feel the same 🙂
This is so beautiful. Thank you.
I felt this. Thank you for your channel.
