My wife and I used to listen to this on the way to her daily radiation/weekly chemo treatments to get us pumped up for the day ahead. She unfortunately lost her battle back in March of 2017. NIN was something we shared intimately over the 15 years we had together and will remain my personal musical escape until the very end of me. I wish I could thank Trent personally for the profound impact his music has had on my life but I know that will never happen. This meager youtube comment will have to do.
I think the video is symbolic of humanity running in a hurry to nowhere, ending only with desolation and death the inevitable stopping point, once all their use has been exhausted. The main character is encouraged to join in, if only out of the impulse to do what everyone else is doing, but midway through he starts having his doubts and begins moving against the grain, only to be trampled. By the time it's over, he's seen that everyone who's gone ahead, has gone to their deaths.
my dad who is 67 years, said “i like that one song by them” it took me an hr and after nurmous sound effects to find this song, which he was talking about. i said “you and we will make it through” and thats when i said “were innthis together” pops. love you dad!
Everyone’s talking about how amazing the song is (which is more than warranted) but I need to acknowledge how amazing the music video is! Like, I genuinely want Trent to Star in a dystopian thriller now.

Yup, I love that this is his take on Metropolis (the silent movie), which adds to the "legend" that this album is synched with the movie. This vid is suposed to be a take on the riot scene in the "working class" area, and you can even see the girl who would be the modern version of María, one of the main characters. You can even see a tuner similar to the famous scene of the workers going in and out of the workplace. Totes in love with this, every now and then I come to this video.
@@ZO0ZIEthan who is he refering to when he says "you are my queen and i am your king" sounds like some sort of long song to me, and i hate love songs.. but not this one.
@k luv It somehow make me sad when people say that older persons can’t be interested in nee things or can’t new learn things.I find it awesome when old people share the same interests with younger people and Vice versa.
NIN is a strong drug, listen one time to see, a second to analyse, a third to be sure... And then its for life :D Trent Reznor is a fooking master! Respect
I used to think this song was about two people in a relationship because of lines like "We're in this together" and "You're the Queen, and I'm the King". After years of trying to learn how to deal with myself, this song means something way different. The King and the Queen are different parts of me. The King is weak, vulnerable, and if he dies the game is over. The Queen is way stronger, very dangerous, and eager to destroy. The Queen doesn't like the King because he's weak, and the King doesn't like the Queen because she's destructive. They're in this together, whether they like it or not.
When I felt disheartened during the time I was apart from the love of my life, when I was 5000 miles separated from her, with no clear idea on how to bridge the gap, this song brought me solace. Now that she's here with me, married and living together, it still charges me up when I'm struggling with the trials we have from life, work, etc. This is my favorite NIN song, and I can't begin to describe how powerfully I feel it when he reaches the chorus
ugh, I need to crank this up tomorrow, I had forgotten how much I love this but it's too late at night to really blast it. Trent, you STILL make this 70 yr old granny feel great!!
This song has always felt to me like the narrator is desperately trying to convince himself that things will be ok this time, despite knowing in his heart of hearts that it's all hopeless. The instrumental bit at the end feels like he managed to convince himself for the time being but doubt and reality immediately start undermining his resolve. The album version has a longer ending instrumental that feels even more melancholy.
Alone in the beginning of the video, alone in the end. The only time we’re truly alone; birth and death, everything in between…you are not alone, we are one consciousness.
I was barely 16 when this song came out. I was working at a grocery store in Memphis TN and knew NIN would be releasing a new song because I was following the news about The Fragile being released as closely as possible (I was a huge NIN fan). I took a lunch break and immediately jumped in my Mustang in the humid August heat and no shit, this was the FIRST song that came across 93X! I was sweating from the humidity and yet had chills through the entire duration of this song. That was an amazing experience. I can still literally smell the leather of the seats while this was blaring. A year or so later I was fortunate enough to visit New Orleans and see the actual location of Nothing studios (located on Magazine street) pre-Katrina. I still have pictures of the outside of the old converted funeral home turned studio complete with blacked out windows and cameras hanging off of the building. I also got to see the outside of his house and got pictures of that too. Those were some of the best years of my life, not solely because of those experiences but, they definitely contributed to them!
Verse 1] I've become impossible Holding on to when When everything seemed to matter more The two of us All used and beaten up Watching fate As it flows Down the path We have chose [Chorus 1] You and me We're in this together now None of them can stop us now We will make it through somehow You and me If the world should break in two Until the very end of me Until the very end of you [Verse 2] Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin They pick and they pull Trying to get their fingers in Well they've got to kill what we found Well they've got to hate what they fear Well they've got to make it go away Well they've got to make it disappear The farther I fall I'm beside you As lost as I get I will find you The deeper the wound I'm inside you For ever and ever I am a part of [Chorus 1] You and me We're in this together now None of them can stop us now We will make it through somehow You and me If the world should break in two Until the very end of me Until the very end of you [Bridge] All that we were is gone we have to hold on All that we were is gone we have to hold on When all our hope is gone we have to hold on All that we were is gone but we can hold on [Chorus 2] You and me We're in this together now None of them can stop us now We will make it through somehow You and me Even after everything You're the queen and I'm the king Nothing else means anything
Been here since pretty hate machine age has slowed the teenage anger so the later albums hit different now and have become my favorites. Still love PHM though nothing takes me back like down in it blasting from a car stereo lol.
Guadalajara,Jal. I was 20, big time into NIN and industrial metal in general. I was hanging around with my girlfriend at the time when we heard NIN was in town recording a video in a subway line and looking for people dressed in black. we went crazy and went all day jumping around on every station, every place we had never went to like tetlan..we never made it. after watching the video we laughed seeing we were nowhere near the places it was made..me and that girlfriend parted ways many years ago, but for this video we were in this together. the fragile will never stop being my favorite record
I hate to think that one day Trent will leave this world as well. Hes an absolute genius in the music industry and i'm afraid that there wont be many more like him...
I agree, his music is so deep and meaningful. It's relatable cause it's about what's going on in his life and in turn, ours. Wanted to say Pretty Hate Machine is my fav album but Downward Spiral has a place in my heart. I was in high school when it was popular.It's nostalgic for alot of us. Him being gorgeous doesn't hurt. If I live to see 80, still be thinking about him when I'm stroking lil' April.
I think this song is about people who try to get something in life, they run together, help each other, but it's all a chaos. nobody cares where you run to, but you are running with them, at every area there is someone to be together but after you fall, there is only traces of your friends and you are all alone. The last piano note tells everything.
This song makes me wanna cry, I can’t even lie. It makes me feel really hopeful for a beautiful and happy future, so beautiful it brings me to tears lol
I think it's the first song I come to think of which is genuinely hopeful in his discography. From The Downward Spiral it's all despair, save A Warm Place maybe, but it's so beautiful to see Trent find beauty in the world on The Fragile. It's painful, but there *is* hope. It could make anyone, anywhere hopeful for what life brings.
I realize only now, after years of knowing this song, that he sees her. For a while, at 4:45. The woman he love and despite the dramatic situation, he smiles. Renewed in the strength to move forward. 💓
I don't think that was the meaning of that shot... it depicts a ravaging human race running against the nothing and towards self destruction, and all the souls lost in that mad race, which include all the ugliness of the world, but also beautiful things are prime target for this deceiving ride, just like the pretty woman among all the ugly ones inside that train...
What a track, what a genius. The best dark music act in history. Loving Nin and also other dark genres from artists like Gary Numan, Portishead, Chelsea Wolfe, Tool, Tricky, Ho99o9, Allflaws
Hundreds of years from now future generations will speak of Trent with reverence and awe. His name will be mentioned in the same breath as all the now long dead composers. A musical genius.
A song ahead of its time...been stuck in China since August 2019. I got front row tickets to this pandemic when it first exploded. "Together" takes a special meaning when almost everyone you knew/know left the country, and you find yourself alone in a foreign country thousands of miles from your homeland
Hang in there, there is so much world inside of you to experience too. I think this song come from one of those far away inner lands. A hug from a stranger in Mexico
so angry, but with anger comes passion..this is what really draws me to this song. it's a rather beautiful message, just wrapped in powerful expression. we will make it through somehow. you and me, even after everything. you're the queen and i'm the king.
The instrumentals contrast with the otherwise 'hopeful' theme of the song, and suggest that the positive words of encouragement are more of a front, in order to keep your loved one from giving up.
There is music. There is great music. Many wonderful songs through the centuries. One day, Tremt Reznor appeared and completely changed the musical universe with his unmatched passion, creativity, imagaination, and style. NIN is eternal.
@@drewisawesomehott I was going to respond with the same question, but try to understand that not everyone shares the same tastes in music. I fucking love NIN ❤️
@@drewisawesomehott NIN is only Trent. He hired different musicians for the record. The only NIN member who was in this song is Jerome Dillon on drums.
My ex dedicated this as our song. We fought through all of the terrible times, tried but it showed me that love doesn't mean Youre meant to be together. Although, we can't hold each other but we will always be together. Even through everything nothing can stop or take the love shared. Truly an inspirational song to me and I hope for the sake of others the same.
I'm so glad the maker of the Avengers trailer chose this song, or I would never have found NIN. Been a few years now and they're still one of my absolute favourite bands.
Nine Inch Nails is one of those bands that I listened to during my college years. Somehow, it helped me cope with my feelings of isolation. The songs were expressed in such a way that I was able to say, "I can relate to that state of depression, isolation, violent thoughts, etc.." Even after I finished college, I listened to it, helped me accept the real world as it is, and therefore, deal with it as best I can. I think the song, "We're In This Together" expresses a man and his soulmate to remain together during the apocalypse, while in the end, he winds up alone, and wonders, "Now what?" But this is just my interpretation of it. Anyway, this is one heck of a song to listen to.
@@johnnysouza17 Well, my interpretation of this video is that the character of Michael Trent Reznor in the end becomes the lone survivor of the apocalypse. And at that moment, he wonders what to make of the situation, and ask himself the question, "Now what?" or "What is my purpose in this lifetime now that everybody else has vanished?" Perhaps he'll find his soulmate and start a new life. Anyway, that's just my opinion, or all that I can come up with. Peace out.
@@scottbrowning4553 i always interpreted this video different, we all know NIN is extremely focussed on the mental well-being of a person, and because Trent Reznor loves and takes a lot of inspiration from David Lynch, i think the meaning of this video might be a lot more symbolic then it is upfront. my interpretation of this video is that its a vision of his drug and alcohol abuse throughout those years, at the start of the video he is all alone and he sees all of those people running outside towards nowhere, thinking he found an escape from himself because he sees everyone else escaping towards nowhere, so he chases those same people and runs along them in the direction of nowhere (this might symbolize him thinking drugs and alcohol is a way out just to get himself to feel differently because he feels unwell). and when he's in the train, he thinks he finally found his safe place because he saw a beautiful woman looking at him while knowing he's finally closer then he'll ever get to his destination, not knowing what his destination is. (meaning he's so obsessed with the feeling that he wouldnt know where to start without it because its the best he ever felt, while still forever chasing that same high) then he ends up running in a very empty desert with the same people he kept running with (meaning he's still chasing that same high, but this time he realizes that he should try his hardest not to lose the feeling because if he loses it, he loses everything) and at the end everyone dissapears, but yet all their clothes remain (meaning that he found a way out of the struggle but there are so much little spots in his brain that could lead him to the same place all over again, but at this point he knows there was always an escape but it wasnt the one he thought it was, his escape was clarity and not escapism)
@@Wafel_Ijzer Good afternoon Jason. Thank you for sending me your interpretation of this video. What's great when it comes to art, whether it's poetry, music, paintings, drawings, movies, television series, dancing etc. is that it can mean different things to different people. I was voicing my interpretation of "We're in this Together" and you were showing yours. Therefore, art does not necessarily mean one thing. Peace out.
@@johnnysouza17 basically there are systems of power structures in areas of life designed to wear down the human spirit and will to live but in the clip, Trent sees his reason to live towards the end and knows that none of us are truly alone and we will all help each other get through the madness and we won't eat each other like the joker in the dark knight thinks people will do when the chips are down
I respect your analysis of this video, but in the end no one is there in the end with him. I feel like he realizes in the end people are decptive, and or he's just alone really when it comes down to it.
This is music. I remember when this album came out and I spent $1000 on a car stereo. This was the first song I played while I would cruise around in my car to clear my mind. It made my heart rumble and pound so hard. I never felt so alive in my life despite being dead on the inside. That is why music is food for the soul. NIN feeds you. We're in this together no matter the struggle, but sometimes you will be alone, and there will be nothing you can do but rely on yourself. You'll look around you, and there will be nowhere or no one to turn too. Your undying will and tenacity to press forward in life, ultimately will leave you standing while others will fall and perish. Not everyone makes it out alive despite their efforts however. That is why your legacy of how you lived life is the mark you will leave behind to inspire others, not how it came to an abrupt end. Trent Reznor congrats on you and NIN being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I just heard the news like a minute ago while I was typing this funny enough.
I remember seeing an interview where he'd said this was the most difficult song he'd put together so far and he'd spent the most time on it. That's the mark of a master. Hours and hours of work, yet it sounds completely seamless and natural, like he just picked up and played in in 6 minutes and then called it a day.
I've always found NIN more relatable than most other bands whether it's my personal struggles or stuff going on with the world. Now they are very relatable.
This song and video are pure genius..It has a dream sequence quality to it that echoes a theme of Solipsism especially at the end where he realizes he is all alone and it was only him the whole time..The video for Massive Attack's song " Angel" is very similar in theme and concept and makes me wonder if that video was inspired by this one.. Very thought provoking and inspiring.. True art .
Not sure Industrial Metal can contain Reznor-I mean I love Nin but then someone says Its Industrial Metal so I go audioingaround and am just like what is this shit-it sucks. No Nin is not Industrial Metal-It is far beyond!
Nin isn't metal, you could say Rock but metal is a whole different world, look to fear factory, static x and Ministry etc. for the industrial metal bands
I have had this song a playlist for over 20 years. So bloody relevant. In a time when most music is just a repeat of previous generations... this song is timeless. #GodBlessThe90s
Trent’s best song ever (my opinion) and that’s really saying something with his catalog of songs!! Huge fan! So happy I saw him with the legend David Bowie!!
I still love this song so much, Trent is one of my all time favorite musicians. Beautiful moment in the video too where he makes eye contact with the woman. Its like something out of a movie.
I love Nine Inch Nails. Back in 2014 they were coming for Lollapalooza (i'm from Argentina) with Soundgarden, The Pixies and a bunch of other great bands and i was saving money to go see them but in the end i couldn't. Nowadays every Lollapalooza that takes place here is fucking overprized, they don't announce the lineup before they start selling tickets and it's full of bands i dohn't give a shit about. But i will see NIN live one day, that's a promise i make to myself and the band.
Can I ask, is your first language English or Spanish? Cos your English is excellent. NIN, Soundgarden and the Pixies are three of my all time favourite bands, I'd kill to see just one of them. All three in one concert would kick balls big time.
It's spanish, and thanks :). Yes, it was one hell of a concert, here's the full line up: www.rocktails.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/Lollapalooza-2014.jpg. I wasn't a big fan of every single band, but most of them were pretty decent, and some of them were locals that i really liked (i would recommend Pez).
Arcade Fire at the Hippodromo!! I saw on youtube you are lucky I saw NIN 3 times from 90 to 95 RHCP 91 ,Sound Graden maybe 92 but Never Arcade Fire and they are amazing!!
amazing how this song is 15 years old and still gives me the same goose bumps as it did back then, and even more amazing how it doesn't sound old at all....
@@johnnysouza17 back then, some songs and music videos made were open to interpretation in spite of the writer's inspiration and intention, as at times the videos could diverge entirely from the original intention. I've never heard anything related to the video it self, the lyrics seem a bit more straight forward, tho.
I love that this is NIN being positive. I remember listening to this when it came out. I knew it was Trent but the lyrical content was strikingly different. I wonder who inspired the lyrics.
This song is timeless. That's what art should be: able to transcend whenever it was made. Too many songs are a product of their time and left in the past, forgotten as relics of their age. I won't ever forget this song.
Man, I remember hearing this album the first time! I bought it the second I heard it. Seriously, I listened to less than a minute of "The day the whole world went away" on headphones in HMV, and bought it immediately! That opening doom metal chugging - Jun-jun-jun-jun-jun! - so killer! Like the chorus in the track ... Just so powerful. It was my soundtrack for a couple of years...I wanna say early 2000...maybe the year 2000 actually. Such a big influence on me. So great!
@@johnnysouza17 Trent was into Metropolis at that time and had an idea if something happened in the world that was catastrophic In the video they try to capture that feeling off loss and searching for something only to find nothing in the end The only way I interpret this song is that in life if you go with the crowd you might end up feeling empty and alone instead of going with your gut feelings of being yourself The end of the song he sing's your the queen and I'm the king, nothing else means anything I think he's talking about his music
Oops...just realized I'm signed into my hubby's youtube...i'm Jenn, not Brian lol. But anyways....not exactly "all" but quite a bit nonetheless. Too bad NIN can't quite compare to Skinny Puppy's greatness.
I've become impossible holding on to when When everything seemed to matter more The two of us All used and beaten up Watching fate as it flow down the path we Have chose You and me We're in this together now None of them can stop us now We will make it through somehow You and me If the world should break in two Until the very end of me Until the very end of you Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin They pick and they pull Trying to get their fingers in Well they've got to kill what we've found Well they've got to hate what we fear Well they've got to make it go away Well they've got to make it disappear The farther I fall I'm beside you As lost as I get I will find you The deeper the wound I'm inside you For ever and ever I'm a part of You and me We're in…
Words can't express how much I love my girlfriend - even after very difficult circumstances. Her parents hate me, with no fault of my own. This song makes me think our love will always win out in the end. I hope.
Your lyricism and musical craftsmanship are a huge part of my personal journey throughout my ups and downs. To somebody deserving of credentials towards musical genious at more of a rapid pace than the world gave it to you Trent, THANK YOU for allowing your artwork to be a better part of our fucked up lives. I'm speaking for all of your fans that probably feel the same way. Since we're in this together, God might be dead, but it seems like several people are starting to care. I'm definitely one of them dude, and I thought you were the perfect drug a long effin time ago ☺ Never stop kicking ass N.I.N.!! - Michelle Riley
Back in 1990 I traded a kid an old skateboard for a bunch of cassette tapes and other stuff because he needed a board to ride and it was all he had to trade. One of the tapes was the Pretty Hate Machine album.. Just randomly listened to that tape never even heard of NIN back then.. Was instantly hooked.. best trade ever.. Me and the same kid even went to see NIN in Orlando at the 1st year of the Lallapaloosa tour.. Was awesome. I loved the songs like this one that recaptured the feel of the Pretty Hate Machine era of NIN.
Saw them at universal studios California. Felt like an old man. All the kids were 18- 20. Little did I know I was still a baby at 24 .my god .we are all babies until we are gone. Life is a gift .music should be a reward .don't get old. Stay young until you can't. Nin. Nine .nign. Nini.
From first hearing and watching the music video years ago... love... Trent's voice is so powerful that it pierces every blood vessel in my body and makes me want to listen to it over and over again. Unquestionable musical mastery!
My wife and I used to listen to this on the way to her daily radiation/weekly chemo treatments to get us pumped up for the day ahead. She unfortunately lost her battle back in March of 2017.

Oh it is!👍
This man (Trent) is a genius
I used to think this song was about two people in a relationship because of lines like "We're in this together" and "You're the Queen, and I'm the King". After years of trying to learn how to deal with myself, this song means something way different. The King and the Queen are different parts of me. The King is weak, vulnerable, and if he dies the game is over. The Queen is way stronger, very dangerous, and eager to destroy. The Queen doesn't like the King because he's weak, and the King doesn't like the Queen because she's destructive. They're in this together, whether they like it or not.
When I felt disheartened during the time I was apart from the love of my life, when I was 5000 miles separated from her, with no clear idea on how to bridge the gap, this song brought me solace. Now that she's here with me, married and living together, it still charges me up when I'm struggling with the trials we have from life, work, etc. This is my favorite NIN song, and I can't begin to describe how powerfully I feel it when he reaches the chorus
lucky guy

Rock on grannie🤘
This song has always felt to me like the narrator is desperately trying to convince himself that things will be ok this time, despite knowing in his heart of hearts that it's all hopeless. The instrumental bit at the end feels like he managed to convince himself for the time being but doubt and reality immediately start undermining his resolve. The album version has a longer ending instrumental that feels even more melancholy.
Alone in the beginning of the video, alone in the end. The only time we’re truly alone; birth and death, everything in between…you are not alone, we are one consciousness.
I was barely 16 when this song came out. I was working at a grocery store in Memphis TN and knew NIN would be releasing a new song because I was following the news about The Fragile being released as closely as possible (I was a huge NIN fan). I took a lunch break and immediately jumped in my Mustang in the humid August heat and no shit, this was the FIRST song that came across 93X! I was sweating from the humidity and yet had chills through the entire duration of this song. That was an amazing experience. I can still literally smell the leather of the seats while this was blaring. A year or so later I was fortunate enough to visit New Orleans and see the actual location of Nothing studios (located on Magazine street) pre-Katrina. I still have pictures of the outside of the old converted funeral home turned studio complete with blacked out windows and cameras hanging off of the building. I also got to see the outside of his house and got pictures of that too. Those were some of the best years of my life, not solely because of those experiences but, they definitely contributed to them!
Thanks for this pictures from your life! 😊
And 96x before that

Cool little flash of a story 😊
The type of comments that I love to read
Verse 1]
I've become impossible
Holding on to when
When everything seemed to matter more
The two of us
All used and beaten up
Watching fate
As it flows
Down the path
We have chose
[Chorus 1]
You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
[Verse 2]
Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well they've got to kill what we found
Well they've got to hate what they fear
Well they've got to make it go away
Well they've got to make it disappear
The farther I fall I'm beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I'm inside you
For ever and ever I am a part of
[Chorus 1]
You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
[Bridge]
All that we were is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone we have to hold on
When all our hope is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone but we can hold on
[Chorus 2]
You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
Even after everything
You're the queen and I'm the king
Nothing else means anything

Thank you! You are the hero here for posting lyrics!
@@justinecamp7922 thank you my dear.🤍 Love you.
This song is 21 years old now. And more relevant now than it ever was.
So much YES.
So true.
Wow. I guess I'm old at 35 lol. I remember when this was on TRL.
Please dont write its 21 years ago. Make me feel old. Hope he hits the road and tour again. When it's safe to do so.
I’m old. I remember when head like a hole video came out on this video ordering channel.
Layers. Everything Trent writes... so many layers.
Both "The Fragile" and "Downward Spiral" are masterpieces....
Can't forget about the best one of all BROKEN!!!! Love that album!
William Schutz "Broken" is an incredible album: when I saw NIN live in 2000 they played "Last" and everything exploded \m/ \m/
can't frget broken and pretty hate machine
+Halo Eight Productions I stilllll love PHM best and Broken secondary as well Heck yeah! Cheers! :)
Year Zero bruh
This song aged like fine wine. Trent had no idea how relevant this song would be 22 years later.
oh he knows, just check all the year zero concept
@@zeitok8 I have, but nothing aged as good as this song, maybe except for Lights In The Sky and Corona Radiata
@@PizzaLovingNerd also, pretty much all his songs from the ‘90s
...or maybe he did...
I bet it just makes him laugh when the news was saying the title of this song to sum up the struggle of covid.
This entire album aged so well. It's still my favorite (yes, over The Downward Spiral). It's an absolute masterpiece.
Been here since pretty hate machine age has slowed the teenage anger so the later albums hit different now and have become my favorites. Still love PHM though nothing takes me back like down in it blasting from a car stereo lol.
i agree
Guadalajara,Jal. I was 20, big time into NIN and industrial metal in general. I was hanging around with my girlfriend at the time when we heard NIN was in town recording a video in a subway line and looking for people dressed in black. we went crazy and went all day jumping around on every station, every place we had never went to like tetlan..we never made it. after watching the video we laughed seeing we were nowhere near the places it was made..me and that girlfriend parted ways many years ago, but for this video we were in this together. the fragile will never stop being my favorite record
I hate to think that one day Trent will leave this world as well. Hes an absolute genius in the music industry and i'm afraid that there wont be many more like him...
Sure, but he has meritorious peers like Mike Patton, Jerry Cantrell, Maynard Keenan and Thom Yorke. It's not all doom and gloom, so chNIN up!!
Enjoy while he's alive and still making and playing music, enjoy while you can
Those guys are all gonna die, too =[
I agree, his music is so deep and meaningful. It's relatable cause it's about what's going on in his life and in turn, ours. Wanted to say Pretty Hate Machine is my fav album but Downward Spiral has a place in my heart. I was in high school when it was popular.It's nostalgic for alot of us. Him being gorgeous doesn't hurt. If I live to see 80, still be thinking about him when I'm stroking lil' April.
my friend said Trent Reznor inspires him to start making music
sometimes it's just a NIN kinda day
Yeah that's today.
Sometimes?
*Everyday is just a N.I.N. kind of day.
Vlad Tepes Dracul every sane day.
..or today.
I think this song is about people who try to get something in life, they run together, help each other, but it's all a chaos. nobody cares where you run to, but you are running with them, at every area there is someone to be together but after you fall, there is only traces of your friends and you are all alone. The last piano note tells everything.
Lithium Sapphire it's his alter ego, Mr selfdistruc, screaming that he is here to stay no matter what.
Very similar thoughts
Nine Inch Nails is timeless. They always sound current to me yet nostalgic. I first got into them when I was 7 :)
Yeah
Literally only been a fan for less than a year and I can’t believe how modern and innovative all of it sounds.
I think Trent has such a great voice. I totally agree with the current/nostalgic thing!
bro was listening to closer at age 7 💀
@@Someone89a trent's music sounds similar to so many of the experimental electronic bands we hear today, it's crazy to think his music is so old
Trent Reznor is a musical genius. No words can sufficiently describe my adoration for him.
'Youre the queen and I'm the king nothing else means anything'
Happy Apocalypse. At least we have the soundtrack.
NIN 4EVA
indeed
Nailed It!!!!!!!!!
I grew up with their music. Now it's so accurate. More than 20 years ago!
Lol
Absolutely such profound lyrics which hit home. Grew up on NIN as a teenager in the 90's and still listening to em. Good Time's
This song makes me wanna cry, I can’t even lie. It makes me feel really hopeful for a beautiful and happy future, so beautiful it brings me to tears lol
hope one comes to the both of us
I think it's the first song I come to think of which is genuinely hopeful in his discography. From The Downward Spiral it's all despair, save A Warm Place maybe, but it's so beautiful to see Trent find beauty in the world on The Fragile. It's painful, but there *is* hope. It could make anyone, anywhere hopeful for what life brings.
@@Kimbie A Warm Place was so beautifully sad. I love this song too.
Really
Then listen to 'The Great Below' :D
This goes deep into my soul, removes all fear and it feels amazing
if there is a cause there is an end. your fear is merely hidden.
I realize only now, after years of knowing this song, that he sees her. For a while, at 4:45. The woman he love and despite the dramatic situation, he smiles. Renewed in the strength to move forward. 💓
What is the meaning of this video clip?
I don't think that was the meaning of that shot... it depicts a ravaging human race running against the nothing and towards self destruction, and all the souls lost in that mad race, which include all the ugliness of the world, but also beautiful things are prime target for this deceiving ride, just like the pretty woman among all the ugly ones inside that train...
Cool thought, man! I saw the changed expression, the light in his eyes, and I was wondering what caused it - makes sense!
Who is she
What a track, what a genius. The best dark music act in history.
Loving Nin and also other dark genres from artists like
Gary Numan, Portishead, Chelsea Wolfe, Tool, Tricky, Ho99o9, Allflaws
Omg, tool is the best!!!
I gotta admit, they sound fresh even now. Not at all dated.
What?! This is modern music, man. That´s why.
@@MinorScalesMajorFuckups hmmmm🤔 nah
You're so right
0:37
Totally agree, "Pretty Hate Machine" sounds brand new, they haven't aged a day!
Hundreds of years from now future generations will speak of Trent with reverence and awe. His name will be mentioned in the same breath as all the now long dead composers. A musical genius.
@Gmork_______ no doing
Assuming we can get there :/
The best NIN song.
The closing section is genuine.
A song ahead of its time...been stuck in China since August 2019. I got front row tickets to this pandemic when it first exploded. "Together" takes a special meaning when almost everyone you knew/know left the country, and you find yourself alone in a foreign country thousands of miles from your homeland
Hang in there, there is so much world inside of you to experience too. I think this song come from one of those far away inner lands. A hug from a stranger in Mexico

The instrumentals contrast with the otherwise 'hopeful' theme of the song, and suggest that the positive words of encouragement are more of a front, in order to keep your loved one from giving up.
Definitely in my top 5 Nine Inch Nails song of all time🤘😎🤘
There is music. There is great music. Many wonderful songs through the centuries. One day, Tremt Reznor appeared and completely changed the musical universe with his unmatched passion, creativity, imagaination, and style. NIN is eternal.

My ex dedicated this as our song. We fought through all of the terrible times, tried but it showed me that love doesn't mean Youre meant to be together. Although, we can't hold each other but we will always be together. Even through everything nothing can stop or take the love shared. Truly an inspirational song to me and I hope for the sake of others the same.
I TRULY DEEPLY LOVE YOU! #nohomo problems with my girl now my ex, but not at the same time
I am a man and I do not partake in homosexual activities.
Apparently, you do not know what true love is and I am sorry you have not felt that presence. You shall, someday. I would hope.
GAYYYYYYYYYYY/GHEYYYYYYYYYYYY
What an intelligent rebuttal...
I'm so glad the maker of the Avengers trailer chose this song, or I would never have found NIN. Been a few years now and they're still one of my absolute favourite bands.
Nine Inch Nails is one of those bands that I listened to during my college years. Somehow, it helped me cope with my feelings of isolation. The songs were expressed in such a way that I was able to say, "I can relate to that state of depression, isolation, violent thoughts, etc.." Even after I finished college, I listened to it, helped me accept the real world as it is, and therefore, deal with it as best I can. I think the song, "We're In This Together" expresses a man and his soulmate to remain together during the apocalypse, while in the end, he winds up alone, and wonders, "Now what?" But this is just my interpretation of it. Anyway, this is one heck of a song to listen to.
What is the meaning of this video clip?
@@johnnysouza17 Well, my interpretation of this video is that the character of Michael Trent Reznor in the end becomes the lone survivor of the apocalypse. And at that moment, he wonders what to make of the situation, and ask himself the question, "Now what?" or "What is my purpose in this lifetime now that everybody else has vanished?" Perhaps he'll find his soulmate and start a new life. Anyway, that's just my opinion, or all that I can come up with. Peace out.
@@scottbrowning4553 i always interpreted this video different, we all know NIN is extremely focussed on the mental well-being of a person, and because Trent Reznor loves and takes a lot of inspiration from David Lynch, i think the meaning of this video might be a lot more symbolic then it is upfront.
my interpretation of this video is that its a vision of his drug and alcohol abuse throughout those years,
at the start of the video he is all alone and he sees all of those people running outside towards nowhere, thinking he found an escape from himself because he sees everyone else escaping towards nowhere, so he chases those same people and runs along them in the direction of nowhere (this might symbolize him thinking drugs and alcohol is a way out just to get himself to feel differently because he feels unwell).
and when he's in the train, he thinks he finally found his safe place because he saw a beautiful woman looking at him while knowing he's finally closer then he'll ever get to his destination, not knowing what his destination is. (meaning he's so obsessed with the feeling that he wouldnt know where to start without it because its the best he ever felt, while still forever chasing that same high)
then he ends up running in a very empty desert with the same people he kept running with (meaning he's still chasing that same high, but this time he realizes that he should try his hardest not to lose the feeling because if he loses it, he loses everything)
and at the end everyone dissapears, but yet all their clothes remain (meaning that he found a way out of the struggle but there are so much little spots in his brain that could lead him to the same place all over again, but at this point he knows there was always an escape but it wasnt the one he thought it was, his escape was clarity and not escapism)
@@Wafel_Ijzer Good afternoon Jason. Thank you for sending me your interpretation of this video. What's great when it comes to art, whether it's poetry, music, paintings, drawings, movies, television series, dancing etc. is that it can mean different things to different people. I was voicing my interpretation of "We're in this Together" and you were showing yours. Therefore, art does not necessarily mean one thing. Peace out.
One of the best NIN songs... and for me the best album... the fragile had changed me forever
One of the most sentimental songs ever, what a fuckin' feeling
What is the meaning of this video clip?
@@johnnysouza17 basically there are systems of power structures in areas of life designed to wear down the human spirit and will to live but in the clip, Trent sees his reason to live towards the end and knows that none of us are truly alone and we will all help each other get through the madness and we won't eat each other like the joker in the dark knight thinks people will do when the chips are down
I respect your analysis of this video, but in the end no one is there in the end with him. I feel like he realizes in the end people are decptive, and or he's just alone really when it comes down to it.
i m having a NIN kind of life.
john moor right?! 😂😭😍
Yeah
yea buddy
Yeah tell me about it, friendo
YOU WILL MAKE IT THROUGH SOMEHOW, YOOOOOU AAAAAND MEEEEE.
EVEN AFTER EVERYYYYTTHIIIIIING
I love this song, just like the city where they recorded this great video. My beautiful Guadalajara. 😎❤️🇲🇽
This is music. I remember when this album came out and I spent $1000 on a car stereo. This was the first song I played while I would cruise around in my car to clear my mind. It made my heart rumble and pound so hard. I never felt so alive in my life despite being dead on the inside. That is why music is food for the soul. NIN feeds you.
We're in this together no matter the struggle, but sometimes you will be alone, and there will be nothing you can do but rely on yourself. You'll look around you, and there will be nowhere or no one to turn too. Your undying will and tenacity to press forward in life, ultimately will leave you standing while others will fall and perish. Not everyone makes it out alive despite their efforts however. That is why your legacy of how you lived life is the mark you will leave behind to inspire others, not how it came to an abrupt end.
Trent Reznor congrats on you and NIN being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I just heard the news like a minute ago while I was typing this funny enough.
What is the meaning of this video clip?
Published on my birthday (June 16th) 10 years ago, released 20 years ago (1999). Still loving it in 2019 🖤
I remember seeing an interview where he'd said this was the most difficult song he'd put together so far and he'd spent the most time on it.
That's the mark of a master. Hours and hours of work, yet it sounds completely seamless and natural, like he just picked up and played in in 6 minutes and then called it a day.
I've always found NIN more relatable than most other bands whether it's my personal struggles or stuff going on with the world. Now they are very relatable.
This song and video are pure genius..It has a dream sequence quality to it that echoes a theme of Solipsism especially at the end where he realizes he is all alone and it was only him the whole time..The video for Massive Attack's song " Angel" is very similar in theme and concept and makes me wonder if that video was inspired by this one.. Very thought provoking and inspiring.. True art .
Always got a David Bowie "Heroes" feel when he screams "You're the Queen and I'm the King".
Makes sense. Bowie is his idol.
That’s exactly what happened with me!
I knew I couldn’t be the only one.
Ended up trying to do a cover of it entirely Bowie style.

@@yancydulin6674 yeah stupid comment. But I still think of it every time I hear the song

trent reznor was my gateway drug to industrial metal
DeathlyHall0w rammstein is not industial metal just tanz metal or dance metal
Not sure Industrial Metal can contain Reznor-I mean I love Nin but then someone says Its Industrial Metal so I go audioingaround and am just like what is this shit-it sucks. No Nin is not Industrial Metal-It is far beyond!
Rammstein was my intro into industrial 1. They don't suck they're amazing. If it weren't for them I wouldn't have gotten to ever care for NIN
one may say he was the perfect drug =)
Nin isn't metal, you could say Rock but metal is a whole different world, look to fear factory, static x and Ministry etc. for the industrial metal bands
I have had this song a playlist for over 20 years. So bloody relevant. In a time when most music is just a repeat of previous generations... this song is timeless. #GodBlessThe90s
Born in small town Pennsylvania, started off musically in Cleveland. If Cleveland doesn't give you dark inspiration I don't know what will
Cleveland rocks.
Another one for the Isolation 2020 Playlist!! 👍

This great song was filmed in my beautiful city, Guadalajara, in 1999. I remember Trent was walking relax, BTS, thought the downtown streets.
That is awesome! Great memory for you. I just looked up your beautiful city. Thanks for sharing, for it looks beautiful in many, many ways!

@@tfoxen7518 your welcome 🖖
Trent’s best song ever (my opinion) and that’s really saying something with his catalog of songs!! Huge fan! So happy I saw him with the legend David Bowie!!
Agreed.. it's one of his songs I listen to on repeat!
I still love this song so much, Trent is one of my all time favorite musicians. Beautiful moment in the video too where he makes eye contact with the woman. Its like something out of a movie.
I love Nine Inch Nails. Back in 2014 they were coming for Lollapalooza (i'm from Argentina) with Soundgarden, The Pixies and a bunch of other great bands and i was saving money to go see them but in the end i couldn't. Nowadays every Lollapalooza that takes place here is fucking overprized, they don't announce the lineup before they start selling tickets and it's full of bands i dohn't give a shit about. But i will see NIN live one day, that's a promise i make to myself and the band.
Gastón Psotka Schendel do it.. saw them 5 times here in Toronto including with soundgarden.. was a raining mess but wicked ass time
Can I ask, is your first language English or Spanish? Cos your English is excellent. NIN, Soundgarden and the Pixies are three of my all time favourite bands, I'd kill to see just one of them. All three in one concert would kick balls big time.
It's spanish, and thanks :). Yes, it was one hell of a concert, here's the full line up: www.rocktails.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/Lollapalooza-2014.jpg. I wasn't a big fan of every single band, but most of them were pretty decent, and some of them were locals that i really liked (i would recommend Pez).
Fuck that's one he'll of a line up.. seen like 7 of those bands.. on 1 card would be amazing.. but the 2 days shows are rough on the body and wallet
Arcade Fire at the Hippodromo!! I saw on youtube you are lucky I saw NIN 3 times from 90 to 95 RHCP 91 ,Sound Graden maybe 92 but Never Arcade Fire and they are amazing!!
Still my favorite song. Glad to see so many people appreciate this track. Hope you all have a great day.
amazing how this song is 15 years old and still gives me the same goose bumps as it did back then, and even more amazing how it doesn't sound old at all....
I CONCUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cause there's nothing more than NIN in this... music genre... so NIN will never get old

@@johnnysouza17 back then, some songs and music videos made were open to interpretation in spite of the writer's inspiration and intention, as at times the videos could diverge entirely from the original intention. I've never heard anything related to the video it self, the lyrics seem a bit more straight forward, tho.
I love that this is NIN being positive. I remember listening to this when it came out. I knew it was Trent but the lyrical content was strikingly different. I wonder who inspired the lyrics.
I wonder that myself.
His wife, I would guess.
@@anneprice5461 You are probably right.
This song is timeless. That's what art should be: able to transcend whenever it was made. Too many songs are a product of their time and left in the past, forgotten as relics of their age. I won't ever forget this song.
I second this
Man, I remember hearing this album the first time! I bought it the second I heard it. Seriously, I listened to less than a minute of "The day the whole world went away" on headphones in HMV, and bought it immediately! That opening doom metal chugging - Jun-jun-jun-jun-jun! - so killer! Like the chorus in the track ... Just so powerful.
It was my soundtrack for a couple of years...I wanna say early 2000...maybe the year 2000 actually. Such a big influence on me. So great!
When I listen to this, I wish, that I could triple my maximum volume.
Word...
Bump

This is such a masterpiece. It might be one of the best songs and videos ever made in history. Brilliant on every level.

@@johnnysouza17 Trent was into Metropolis at that time and had an idea if something happened in the world that was catastrophic
In the video they try to capture that feeling off loss and searching for something only to find nothing in the end
The only way I interpret this song is that in life if you go with the crowd you might end up feeling empty and alone instead of going with your gut feelings of being yourself
The end of the song he sing's your the queen and I'm the king, nothing else means anything
I think he's talking about his music
Love this guy way ahead of his time!!!
+Timothy Harbison I think he's just way ahead of his peers! He's released very relevant music at different stages of his career.

He owes it all to Skinny Puppy.
Brian Gilbert All?
Oops...just realized I'm signed into my hubby's youtube...i'm Jenn, not Brian lol. But anyways....not exactly "all" but quite a bit nonetheless. Too bad NIN can't quite compare to Skinny Puppy's greatness.
One of the best, still mesmerizing and cathartic for me. A rarity
I've become impossible holding on to when
When everything seemed to matter more
The two of us
All used and beaten up
Watching fate as it flow down the path we
Have chose
You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well they've got to kill what we've found
Well they've got to hate what we fear
Well they've got to make it go away
Well they've got to make it disappear
The farther I fall I'm beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I'm inside you
For ever and ever I'm a part of
You and me
We're in…
The album seriously got me through my 20s, I doubt I would be here if it wasn't for this record, thank you Trent

Happy 20th Anniversary to The Fragile.
Wow, time flys.
I know... I got this album for Christmas from my parent in '99. I was 16. I feel so old thinking about that.
So good! Trent is great!
Words can't express how much I love my girlfriend - even after very difficult circumstances. Her parents hate me, with no fault of my own. This song makes me think our love will always win out in the end. I hope.
That's beautiful.
My bf says this is our song. Makes me feel so very loved!
Your lyricism and musical craftsmanship are a huge part of my personal journey throughout my ups and downs. To somebody deserving of credentials towards musical genious at more of a rapid pace than the world gave it to you Trent, THANK YOU for allowing your artwork to be a better part of our fucked up lives. I'm speaking for all of your fans that probably feel the same way. Since we're in this together, God might be dead, but it seems like several people are starting to care. I'm definitely one of them dude, and I thought you were the perfect drug a long effin time ago ☺ Never stop kicking ass N.I.N.!!

I didn't appreciate how golden were NIN when I was a kid. 38 yo now.. damn! Hearing it now i finally understand the feeling

Back in 1990 I traded a kid an old skateboard for a bunch of cassette tapes and other stuff because he needed a board to ride and it was all he had to trade. One of the tapes was the Pretty Hate Machine album.. Just randomly listened to that tape never even heard of NIN back then.. Was instantly hooked.. best trade ever.. Me and the same kid even went to see NIN in Orlando at the 1st year of the Lallapaloosa tour.. Was awesome.
I loved the songs like this one that recaptured the feel of the Pretty Hate Machine era of NIN.
His older songs sound so fuckin raw... It sends chills into my bones, so good.
without a doubt one of the most powerful songs ever made by Trent 🖤
Saw them at universal studios California. Felt like an old man. All the kids were 18- 20. Little did I know I was still a baby at 24 .my god .we are all babies until we are gone. Life is a gift .music should be a reward .don't get old. Stay young until you can't. Nin. Nine .nign. Nini.
From first hearing and watching the music video years ago... love... Trent's voice is so powerful that it pierces every blood vessel in my body and makes me want to listen to it over and over again. Unquestionable musical mastery!
You know you're in for a tough year when all the sudden NIN songs become more and more relatable once again.

This album, in its entirety or by single song, is absolute perfection... always 🖤🖤🖤
