i have to say, over the decades, Nine Inch Nails has been one of those bands that have helped me through a lot of shit in my life. Thank you, Trent. I hope you know your music helps a lot of people.
Same. I had the honour of shaking his hand in thanks, back in 2010. It was Columbus Ohio the night before his Lights in the Sky tour played there, and he came into the restaurant I worked at. I was the ONLY person that recognized him and it was such an amazing thing! Then I got to see him play the next night.
I lost my dad on 9/6/2023 and I cannot make it past 2nd line of the first verse without crying. I use this song when I need to use it. Reznor has a unique talent. I thought we had more time.
Been on a rough patch almost 5 years on January not as severe as your lost, but just wanted to say you that I love you and your dad loved you, and I hope that you get better, it’s gonna be hard but we’ll be in a better place eventually
I have to put a cat down in the next few days. He’s not even 4 years old yet. When I hear “I thought we had more time” it breaks my heart in two. I loved him so much, and it’s so difficult to let him go. Nonetheless, NIN is here once again to perfectly encapsulate what I’m feeling. Thank you for all that you do, Trent.
Nine inch Fucking Nails. Trent is one of the few left making art, actually getting inside himself...and I love what's inside him....makes me feel not so alone.
reznors music always helps me feel like I belong even when I am at my worst point emotionally. Edit: When people are low, go out of your way to help. you dont know what kind of a difference you can make until it happens.
@@robertcutchin9376 I know what you mean, these songs are more soundscape oriented. You need to come into them with an ear for audible emotional symbolism. There are no words to express the music, the sound does that for you, if you have the ear for it. Also patience if youre immature.
It has a very The Fragile vibe, and it's also specifically about loss like The Fragile was about the loss of his grandmother. It makes the tribute to Bowie even more heartfelt, since to make it sound like The Fragile means he most likely considered him family.
I never understood this video or the album cover before, but now I do. Those meters that are lit up are measuring his emotions, and the negative ones (like anxiety) have a high rating while the more positive ones (like appreciation and presence) are low. This machine is a mechanical way of personifying how it feels for him when he's depressed. Damn. I really need to give this EP another listen, I think its one that grows deeper and deeper with every listen.
It's a measure of society in general from the perception of the ones controlling the population. The song "Less Than" eludes to mass manipulation of society and the lies they're being caught in repeatedly.
Yes I like the interpretation in the OP but this is how I always took it. It is the control board of those manipulating society. “Amplifying chaos” and “Adding Violence”. As you can see, the “simulation is ON”
My best friend, my brother died two days ago. Cancer had been eating him alive for four years. I'm so sad. I'm so glad he's finally able to rest. Love you man.
This song came out a few hours after my best friend died. Listening to this still makes me feel that day over and over. I miss him and this song helps me get through it. If you know someone going through addiction please love them forever and be there for them, one day they might be gone.
Just amazing. Trent's a genius. Really reminds me of the the darker trip hop sounds from the likes of Massive Attack,Tricky, Portishead, Unkle, Allflaws
If I’m not mistaken, UNKLE supported NIN on part of the With Teeth tour in the US….gutted we didn’t get them as support here in the UK….even though he’s from over here 🤦🏻♂️😂 I’d have watched UNKLE over Ladytron any day!!!
Some people say his music makes people feel more sadness than they ordinarilly would (Ignorance). What those people dont understand is that trent gives us a voice to our thoughts that help us understand our sadness, and in the understanding, gives us a way to not feel alone in our most desolet moments when we feel total seperation from everyone, and everyting. By doin so his music has kept me strong enough to pull myself up at my most lost times. Thanks trent reznor and nin for the decades of strenth you gave to me.
Couldn't agree more. Today, on The Downward Spiral's 25th birthday, I found a copy of AATCHB with Still in a record store and I'd been hunting down a copy for almost ten years. It was like finding an old friend and reminiscing old memories whilst preparing to make new ones. Easy to say my life would not be as it is now without Trent.
I don't think it has anything to do with sadness. As this art is done out of passion which is always positive. It's sending a clear message that we are controlled. It's helping us awaken and teaching us valuable lessons.
trent gives you something you had but didnt realize until you heard the call...this he or she gives me this or that is largely the problem...you had that shit inside of you all this time. nothing has changed.
I think the adjective you're looking for is melancholy, or the happiness of being immersed in sadness. It's also a musical form born out of classical music. A genre that believe Trent Reznor took and made his own, a true genius.

It turns out the official MP3 has lyrics embedded in the metadata! Here are the confirmed lyrics: and if you see my friend i thought i would again a single thin straight line i thought we had more time carry me carry me home
From a Fangoria interview, Trent Reznor talks about how he and the band came to perform in the roadhouse scene from that episode (as The Nine Inch Nails): "Yeah, when we got the call about Twin Peaks, the question was just, "Would you like to participate in Twin Peaks: The Return?" and the answer was, "Yes, of course!" and then he said, "I would like the band to be playing a show at the Roadhouse." No further information. We didn't have a lot of time; it was maybe two, three weeks until [filming]. We were working on a piece that - and I haven't told anyone this - ultimately became the music for "This Isn't The Place," incorrectly thinking that he'd want something that was more … y'know, I was picturing Julee Cruise, something that was a bit more broken down or open and David Lynch-ish. But when we turned the track in, he was comfortable enough with me to write or call me back and say, "Y'know, I'm looking for something a little less … this just isn't what I want. I want something that feels menacing and unpleasant." I think probably most of the people that were called [about performing in the Roadhouse] had the same thought we did, to go a little more Badalamenti-ish, something you'd expect to be playing in there. So in about another day, we quickly turned around "She's Gone Away" and immediately got the response of, "Thank you, yes, this is exactly what I was looking for! Appreciate the extra effort!"
Age is irrelevant you really shouldn't have said that. I mean bowie was like a million years old and he was still great at least to his fans, i never got into him. But i really think this song is actually about bowie tbo.
KiloCharlieOne - I’ve haven’t seen his drawings before. I️DK if I️ was just dreaming, or wondering how much the Raw Cacao was going for last week...? It was always so fun to be able to share the stuff with Fiends of the Fake Friendliest, & always needs Something, even after the last time he Failed to do the correct thing, & Foolish Ended losing a good Friend. I️ Trust in the Beings Human, I️ Trust that They CaNNoT Be Trusted... actually, I️ have noticed that 0ne out of 999 can be Trusted as a True Friend.
Always loved this song but listening to it now after losing someone I knew, it's like all the pieces have clicked into place. I'm only 21 and never had anyone in my peer group die before. My biggest regret will always be not making more time to get to know them better as I always said I would, I really did just think we had more time
Word. Listening to sad music as an angst, hate, and sadness filled teen made it ok to let it all out. It became an anthem playing in your head, as you walked down a hall, with feelings of rejection, loneliness. It took you on an adventure into your mind, and helped you recognize those sources of sorrow. In the end, it helps you conquer them through recognition of those hurts, since you had spared with them nonstop, while the Walkman was on repeat.
I recently lost my little sister to suicide. Everytime my mind isn't occupied my thoughts immediately go to her and the realization I won't see her again, in this lifetime. A piece of me is forever gone and I truly thought we'd have more time. I can relate to the lyrics.
Listened to the perfect drug song when I was 7-8 years old ,didn't know how that would change my life 34 years later, got to love the style of NIN , from the most hardcore to the most melodic instrumentals. No other band of merry music makers can compare. Brilliant. Salute.
S.K.S Barbie Yup, I am very well aware of that. ❤️ I have been listening to Trent’s music and reading about him since 1989. And I have been listening to David since I was a baby. David most likely saved his life, because Trent was literally in a life-threatening downward spiral. I am always grateful to David for helping Trent save himself. We already have lost too many great artists, as it is..
S.K.S Barbie You didn’t offend me at all, hence why I put the heart. I didn’t want you to read it that way. Sometimes conversation via writing, without a tone of voice and body language, can muddle things up. You definitely didn’t offend me. 😊
put on headphones, pour your drink of choice, and think about your disposition when you fell in love with NIN while listening to this. it's there. it's the fragile, it's trent, your experience hasn't changed you just have to recollect it.
Add Violence is NIN's best piece since With Teeth. Don't get me wrong, I love "Year Zero", "The Slip", "Ghosts" and "Hesitation Marks" but this really hits home. Amazing work, Trent and Atticus.
I fell off after Year Zero. There's a couple songs I loved from Hesitation Marks, but Year Zero completely and utterly destroys With Teeth, without room for argument. End of story. This song? This to me sounds almost like a throwback to The Fragile. I want to hear more like this, or more like what Trent did with TOBACCO.
The world absolutely needs Trent Reznor! I honestly can't imagine a world without his music. It's so good, and so inspiring I can't even describe the feels.
I lost my dear friend to the brutality of knife crime around the time this track was released. I never saw him as much as I would have liked, I thought we had more time... RIP 😥
This song is playing while there's a storm going on outside of my house. With the rain beating against my house and thunder shaking the skies. And this song just fits so perfectly to it.
You've no idea how much my personality can relate to this song, it really struck a cord - no wonder NiN is one of my favorite bands! Trent Reznor is truly a unique genius!
Not true, if a random dude came out with this and I heard it, I'd support that dude a million percent! Of course that if still a big IF unfortunately , given the way the music industry works.
An electronic masterpiece of focused chaos that only Trent knows how to produce. Easily could have been featured in milestone albums like "the fragile". Went to tears with this..brought so many memories from the nineties.
Never into this music when I was in High School. Just hearing someone talk about the band "Nine Inch Nails" I automatically assumed it was weird gothic music. Now I cant get enough. Trent's music is the coolest sound i've ever heard. NIN is in a category of its own.
This is the best song that makes use of the sudden stop at the ending It really works with the lyrics suddenly they are gone and you thought you had more time
So beautiful. The piano contours perfectly with the deep hum of the bass. The silk like flow throughout the song is tranquil and calming. I heard this while I was watching the thunderstorm outside on my porch at midnight because I couldn't fall asleep. So relaxing and comforting as I feel like I'm on cloud nine. Thanks Nin you never fail to make a beautiful masterpiece as this. 10/10. If there is any song I could listen to for the rest of my life it would surely be this one.
"way to not so alone in our most desolate moments" u are exactly right, and I've been trying to explain it to myself for years and then I read that phrase and everything clicked. Good job. Thank u. And thank u Mr. Reznor and gang, saved me for another day.
It'll be interesting listening to the whole album to see how these songs fit together. They end pretty abruptly. The machine in the video also has very interesting labels. Year Zero language...
This sounds like that feeling you get when you manage to lure yourself into a calm state despite mounting pressure, where all you can do is stare dissociatively at the wall because daring to feel anything else would crack you open like an egg Very beautiful voice btw
One of my main inspirations in life. Not only a musical genius but a legend in general, and age has only made him stronger, wiser, and more bitter. Like me.
Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, the person who's been my musical mentor my whole life. Thanks for your inspiring, beautiful music to drive me to what I've already become so far. Only up from here.
I cannot explain why Im so drawn to this , NIN always continues to impress me. Takes me to a parallel world where everything is just beautiful and scary at the same time....
I haven't been this excited about NIN in a very long time. the hidden messages, what does that machine mean? 2022? Year Zero? What has Trent been planning. Everyone freaking out trying to decipher every little detail. It's making me anxious, in a good way. Musically this is what I've been missing from Trent. The lyrics mean more to now.
Visually, It has That retro feel of that old industrial machine inside an experimental lab which I keep getting drawn to, I even spent time contemplating every switch which is correctly named and so delicately placed, not forgetting the box of medicine on the table, It's so believable, visually its very inspiring.. Sound wise, the mood setup is perfect, the tempo is in sync with the themed emotion of the song, the lyrics are transparent vocally the emotions can be felt and are heart reaching, the electo music is very fine tuned not over the top, delicately designed in each dividend of the song. To me its a job very well done on this album.
fran jaff I respect your opinion but for me Right where it belongs is one of my very fav NIN tracks while I consider Beside you in time a bit of a filler (and they played in the show I went... the intro was the Social Network soundtrack song)
See... this is where you can see how far along Trent has come in his career. This is a song worthy of a legendary sound architect, and a fitting tribute to David Bowie. RIP I'm not trying to be a fanboy but I absolutely fucking am one. NIN and Trent are fucking godlike in the industry of sound architecture. Change my mind.
Exactly. Certain types of enthusiasm are like a pill which very effectively lowers common sense, logic, and awareness. It makes people use terms like "only" in their adoration. Or "the greatest", or "no one else can...", ect. It applies to music, politics, art, writing, patriotism, pretty much anything. But "feel his soul bleed"? LOL. Cmon, talk about cornball. Is she 13?
This is truly one of the most amazing and heartfelt piece of music ever created... and the whole new EP "Add Violence" is just plain fucking fantastic.
This reminds me of the period between the downward spiral & the fragile. You could play this to me in the dark and I would know who it was in seconds. I think Trent is the last visionary force left in music. He has spanned 3 decades now while I have been a part of from the beginning.
While nowhere near being the same style, I feel like Trent and Josh Homme benefited a great deal from just being their own thing hidden behind a band that was ever changing. They both kind of do what they want in regards to music and don't get trapped in between their music and the fans. Every album they release is a departure from the last at least a bit, but you can still recognize the core of the band. They also just release music when they feel it is ready to be released and don't rush it. My point is that the very fact that Trent was able to focus on the music and not what some music executives in suits wanted allowed him to evolve his music. The only difference between the two bands is that people I talk to tend to like QotSA more than NIN due to the former being more classicly rock than the later. They are both amazing bands though.
Nobody really got how connected Trent and Bowie were. I really don't care if Trent gave Johnny Cash his blessing to do hurt. Not even he could top Trent and Bowie doing it live together. Long live Trent. And RIP David.
I know what you mean, his music just speaks to you on a primal level. He takes something as simple as a an ancient vacuum tube era machine and makes it apply to our lives today.
Ditto. He does most of the music for David Fincher ( Seven, 12 Monkeys, Gone Girl ( i think ) he's my fave director. I cannot for the life of me think of all the other movies he has done, there are many ....Lost Highway! You can see why the two collaborate... a darkness, the ability to effortlessly draw upon every emotion irrespective of it's intensity like a kaleidoscope... he is exceptional
i have to say, over the decades, Nine Inch Nails has been one of those bands that have helped me through a lot of shit in my life. Thank you, Trent. I hope you know your music helps a lot of people.
Same. I had the honour of shaking his hand in thanks, back in 2010. It was Columbus Ohio the night before his Lights in the Sky tour played there, and he came into the restaurant I worked at. I was the ONLY person that recognized him and it was such an amazing thing!
Then I got to see him play the next night.
I lost my dad on 9/6/2023 and I cannot make it past 2nd line of the first verse without crying. I use this song when I need to use it. Reznor has a unique talent. I thought we had more time.
Been on a rough patch almost 5 years on January not as severe as your lost, but just wanted to say you that I love you and your dad loved you, and I hope that you get better, it’s gonna be hard but we’ll be in a better place eventually
Amen 🙏
Godspeed
Rhcp - This Is The Place
Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place

NIN got it right. =/ =D

And then, eventually: Radiohead - Everything in its Right Place

Sun Ra - Space is the Place
RIP David Bowie.This is a lovely tribute. Thank you for honoring his memory.
This song was dedicated to him ?
@@Iden_Elihio_1999 Yes, Trent stated it during the live premiere of this song.
I have to put a cat down in the next few days. He’s not even 4 years old yet. When I hear “I thought we had more time” it breaks my heart in two. I loved him so much, and it’s so difficult to let him go.
Nonetheless, NIN is here once again to perfectly encapsulate what I’m feeling. Thank you for all that you do, Trent.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my pet a month ago. 😞
This song is absolutely chilling. I almost cannot believe how much is conveyed emotionially with how little is actually going on. I'm in tears
roboartist88 minimal doesn’t mean bad, just as complex doesn’t necessarily mean good.
@@gigachad192 True
Some of the best songs\grooves have 1 or 2 chords,it's what's going on between the spaces that make it interesting.
Nine inch Fucking Nails. Trent is one of the few left making art, actually getting inside himself...and I love what's inside him....makes me feel not so alone.
reznors music always helps me feel like I belong even when I am at my worst point emotionally.
Edit: When people are low, go out of your way to help. you dont know what kind of a difference you can make until it happens.
Marcus Munitions same here man
Marcus Munitions I find that all his work, is The Perfect Drug my friends ☺
Marcus Campbell definitely!
Marcus Munitions I join you guys emotion sadness trip
I find this song to be hauntingly beautiful.
The line "I thought we had more time" cuts through me like a laser after losing so much in the last few years.
Lost loved ones are scars to the soul.
Same.
Power through.
It sucks. Sorry dude.

My best friend, my brother died two days ago. Cancer had been eating him alive for four years. I'm so sad. I'm so glad he's finally able to rest. Love you man.
So sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry man. May he rest in peace.
This song is rough and raw and sensual. We aren’t deserving of such art!!
Ani Rose speak for yourself! I've been listening since 1974, so I deserve good music akin to all the past trailblazers!
Ani Rose You're right, we don't. No wait... that last part... yea, we do.
Agree, cruelty underrated:(
Amen, but we NEED it
He is the hero we need right now
But not the hero we deserve
Oh how we meet again Nine Inch Nails. Just came out of a 7 year relationship. The only music that keeps me sane no matter what i go through.
This song came out a few hours after my best friend died. Listening to this still makes me feel that day over and over. I miss him and this song helps me get through it. If you know someone going through addiction please love them forever and be there for them, one day they might be gone.
Dear Trent,
Thank you for existing.
Love,
Everyone
It’s been over 2 years since the release of this EP and I keep coming back to it, over and over again. A fucking masterpiece.
Just amazing.
Trent's a genius.

This whole song takes place in one second after hearing you lost someone forever
Or after hearing how fast major climate feedbacks loops are kicking in. both work just as well
Well said..
Truth, and painfully so.
I love this.
Makes sense because if you listen to the lyrics and consider when this came out it's possible he wrote this for Bowie...
This feels like walking a thin line between a dream and a nightmare.........

It kinda brings up feelings I've felt on an acid trip. A mix of something being so beautiful, but so deep and overwhelming at the same time

And we are in this together now.
From a Fangoria interview, Trent Reznor talks about how he and the band came to perform in the roadhouse scene from that episode (as The Nine Inch Nails):
"Yeah, when we got the call about Twin Peaks, the question was just, "Would you like to participate in Twin Peaks: The Return?" and the answer was, "Yes, of course!" and then he said, "I would like the band to be playing a show at the Roadhouse." No further information.
We didn't have a lot of time; it was maybe two, three weeks until [filming]. We were working on a piece that - and I haven't told anyone this - ultimately became the music for "This Isn't The Place," incorrectly thinking that he'd want something that was more … y'know, I was picturing Julee Cruise, something that was a bit more broken down or open and David Lynch-ish.

WOW. The greatest musical genius in the world continues to amaze in his early 50s.
A person ages. Creativity never ages.
Well, so far so good.
Age is irrelevant you really shouldn't have said that.
I mean bowie was like a million years old and he was still great at least to his fans, i never got into him.
But i really think this song is actually about bowie tbo.
Trent can draw emotion with a song like no other.

Started listening to NIN back in 1992, was totally hooked within seconds to Trents music.
It's still an addiction I live with.
Trent please add more dates to your concert tour. Four dates is just not enough. I cannot wait to see what you have in store for this LIVE!
Word. Listening to sad music as an angst, hate, and sadness filled teen made it ok to let it all out. It became an anthem playing in your head, as you walked down a hall, with feelings of rejection, loneliness. It took you on an adventure into your mind, and helped you recognize those sources of sorrow. In the end, it helps you conquer them through recognition of those hurts, since you had spared with them nonstop, while the Walkman was on repeat.
Not the Actual Events, Add Violence, and Bad Witch are, taken together, a collection of masterpieces.
Anticipating another Halo.
I recently lost my little sister to suicide. Everytime my mind isn't occupied my thoughts immediately go to her and the realization I won't see her again, in this lifetime. A piece of me is forever gone and I truly thought we'd have more time. I can relate to the lyrics.
From a stranger on the internet it might sound like a cliché but...I'm sorry for your loss.
Listened to the perfect drug song when I was 7-8 years old ,didn't know how that would change my life 34 years later, got to love the style of NIN , from the most hardcore to the most melodic instrumentals. No other band of merry music makers can compare. Brilliant. Salute.
This is… mesmerising. Truly deep, both the instruments and voice. Just woah.
It sounds like a goodbye to his friend, David Bowie.
RIP, Starman. Today, you would have turned 73.
David Bowie is part of the reason Trent is no longer on drugs
Edit: Was Trent addicted to Cocaine or Heroine.... Working out some kinks...
S.K.S Barbie Yup, I am very well aware of that. ❤️ I have been listening to Trent’s music and reading about him since 1989. And I have been listening to David since I was a baby. David most likely saved his life, because Trent was literally in a life-threatening downward spiral. I am always grateful to David for helping Trent save himself. We already have lost too many great artists, as it is..
@dead project That's why I said what I said but didn't mean to offend Lisa.
@@lisalisa13green didn't mean to offend... Saw Trent and Met him in the 90s... I figured you probably knew.
S.K.S Barbie You didn’t offend me at all, hence why I put the heart. I didn’t want you to read it that way. Sometimes conversation via writing, without a tone of voice and body language, can muddle things up. You definitely didn’t offend me. 😊
put on headphones, pour your drink of choice, and think about your disposition when you fell in love with NIN while listening to this. it's there. it's the fragile, it's trent, your experience hasn't changed you just have to recollect it.
I needed this album so badly. New NIN always gives me another way to see the world.
Add Violence is NIN's best piece since With Teeth. Don't get me wrong, I love "Year Zero", "The Slip", "Ghosts" and "Hesitation Marks" but this really hits home. Amazing work, Trent and Atticus.
Imo year zero is better than with teeth, by miles
@@interfectus99 I think both are really good, but I have to agree with you
I fell off after Year Zero. There's a couple songs I loved from Hesitation Marks, but Year Zero completely and utterly destroys With Teeth, without room for argument. End of story.
This song? This to me sounds almost like a throwback to The Fragile. I want to hear more like this, or more like what Trent did with TOBACCO.
With teeth was the worst of nin tbh
There are no bad nin records period! Just different ones every single one is its own mood and its own thing
Trent is so ahead of his time. Musical genius.
Thank you!
@@TSouth10Hahahahhahahaha
Hes still got it after all these years... this is the best music I've heard since the 90s..
The world absolutely needs Trent Reznor! I honestly can't imagine a world without his music. It's so good, and so inspiring I can't even describe the feels.
Teljesen igazad van.
I lost my dear friend to the brutality of knife crime around the time this track was released. I never saw him as much as I would have liked, I thought we had more time... RIP 😥
I’m so sorry.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss.
RIP
RIP
This song is playing while there's a storm going on outside of my house. With the rain beating against my house and thunder shaking the skies. And this song just fits so perfectly to it.
always a good day when a new nin track is dropped unexpectedly!
i am listening this band since i was 15.now,i am almost 40 and it is still like the first time,realy very impresive
Ditto 😍
High 5 fellow female NIN fan
Same I was 15 when I first fell in love with NIN I am now 42 turning 43 next month (dec 25) and it's still my favorite band!!!
You've no idea how much my personality can relate to this song, it really struck a cord - no wonder NiN is one of my favorite bands! Trent Reznor is truly a unique genius!
Thank you, Trent, for this awesome music (and all the music you have ever produced). The world needs more great artists such as yourself!
yeah, the world needs more artists with money.. if a random dude came out with this track nobody would care
Not true, if a random dude came out with this and I heard it, I'd support that dude a million percent! Of course that if still a big IF unfortunately , given the way the music industry works.
This is pure NIN sound, I guess you are clueless about them and you ended up here from some rap video or something.
XNancyxBoyX haah
I agree!
An electronic masterpiece of focused chaos that only Trent knows how to produce. Easily could have been featured in milestone albums like "the fragile". Went to tears with this..brought so many memories from the nineties.
it's like NIN by way of Massive Attack, I love it!
Andrew Johnston yes! Sounds like massive attack! Love that style, we need more of that
Yeah that’s why I don’t like it. Much prefer the angry, harsh industrial ballads like the downward spiral or the fragile. But to each his own.
Nine Inch Nails is by far my most respected band/Artist. I really enjoy Trent Reznor. He is a modern day Beethoven.
Just thankfully not deaf. 🤘🤣
his talent, that he chooses to share with us. for me it beautifies realism. clears the fog and sometimes makes it dense.
purposeful always
Less Than was just foreplay. Now this is something special.
Never into this music when I was in High School. Just hearing someone talk about the band "Nine Inch Nails" I automatically assumed it was weird gothic music. Now I cant get enough. Trent's music is the coolest sound i've ever heard. NIN is in a category of its own.
I love the music , the lyrics and I find listening to an album or two elevates me some how.
This is the best song that makes use of the sudden stop at the ending
It really works with the lyrics suddenly they are gone and you thought you had more time
❤
So So So good.
So beautiful. The piano contours perfectly with the deep hum of the bass. The silk like flow throughout the song is tranquil and calming. I heard this while I was watching the thunderstorm outside on my porch at midnight because I couldn't fall asleep. So relaxing and comforting as I feel like I'm on cloud nine. Thanks Nin you never fail to make a beautiful masterpiece as this. 10/10. If there is any song I could listen to for the rest of my life it would surely be this one.
You were on cloud Nine-Inch-Nails
I had to
Cloud NIN, and 9/9!
I'm positive Trent Reznor has a direct line to my soul
Angel Kunkel he just has us sanctified
I can feel it feeling me
"way to not so alone in our most desolate moments" u are exactly right, and I've been trying to explain it to myself for years and then I read that phrase and everything clicked. Good job. Thank u. And thank u Mr. Reznor and gang, saved me for another day.
I find that it finds everyone a certain way. Sometimes notes and riffs really touch a persons heart
Ain't that the truth!🎶🔥🎶
OMG The Nine Inch Nails!
Trent has an insane mastery of sound aesthetic. To say that this song sums up my entire mood is a vast understatement...
It'll be interesting listening to the whole album to see how these songs fit together. They end pretty abruptly. The machine in the video also has very interesting labels. Year Zero language...
This sounds like that feeling you get when you manage to lure yourself into a calm state despite mounting pressure, where all you can do is stare dissociatively at the wall because daring to feel anything else would crack you open like an egg
Very beautiful voice btw
Ouch..... That seriously hit me fucking hard and I'm trying to not crack
The electronic blips and piano make me think of like Blade Runner, rain soaked city brimming with bright neon.
I still feel Background World should of been one of the main sounds to the newest Blade Runner along with this one
Don't forget the Subliminal Symbolic PROGRAMMING and Mind Control everywhere and all the Empty Vessels running around. ... ha

Raddest
One of my main inspirations in life. Not only a musical genius but a legend in general, and age has only made him stronger, wiser, and more bitter. Like me.
I LOVE the music in this song. It doesn't even need lyrics. "Leaving Hope" is my favorite song of yours (despite the title). What a MASTERPIECE!!!
Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, the person who's been my musical mentor my whole life. Thanks for your inspiring, beautiful music to drive me to what I've already become so far. Only up from here.
I cannot explain why Im so drawn to this , NIN always continues to impress me. Takes me to a parallel world where everything is just beautiful and scary at the same time....
I haven't been this excited about NIN in a very long time. the hidden messages, what does that machine mean? 2022? Year Zero?
What has Trent been planning. Everyone freaking out trying to decipher every little detail. It's making me anxious, in a good way. Musically this is what I've been missing from Trent. The lyrics mean more to now.
Atticus adds a surrealistic 5th dimensional clarity to a soundscape that is already simply amazing with Reznor by himself
#20 on trending? the world has finally come to its senses.
Jessica Strickland lol no kidding.
Badulaques I sincerely hope you are trolling...
this mix on this song was the sweet spot.
Visually, It has That retro feel of that old industrial machine inside an experimental lab which I keep getting drawn to, I even spent time contemplating every switch which is correctly named and so delicately placed, not forgetting the box of medicine on the table, It's so believable, visually its very inspiring..
Sound wise, the mood setup is perfect, the tempo is in sync with the themed emotion of the song, the lyrics are transparent vocally the emotions can be felt and are heart reaching, the electo music is very fine tuned not over the top, delicately designed in each dividend of the song.
To me its a job very well done on this album.
I think it's the best nin song since With Teeth. Possibly even since The Fragile.
stop using the word retro...god damn it
I'm in the process of having to move away from my kids 60 miles away and yeah this one hits me in the feels. Good assessment of the song.
More like a police training sound devices. During Sonny Crocket's and Ricardo Tub's past Rockie police training. Cool.
This dropped during a tough period in my life and the catharsis this EP gave me was absolutely necessary.
Thanks for the music, man.
Wow I've not heard this kinda brilliance off nin since fragile
I agree!! I was thinking the other day that less than is also the best single in 18 years!
Loved the track but since Fragile we had stuff like Right where it belongs, Capital G, All Time Low....
Rodrigo Quinan In my opinion, Right Where It Belongs sounds like it could be a Linkin Park track. Beside You In Time is far better.
this song reminds me of "Even Deeper".
fran jaff I respect your opinion but for me Right where it belongs is one of my very fav NIN tracks while I consider Beside you in time a bit of a filler (and they played in the show I went... the intro was the Social Network soundtrack song)
See... this is where you can see how far along Trent has come in his career. This is a song worthy of a legendary sound architect, and a fitting tribute to David Bowie. RIP
I'm not trying to be a fanboy but I absolutely fucking am one. NIN and Trent are fucking godlike in the industry of sound architecture. Change my mind.
No need to change a thing. ❤❤❤❤
@allweleavebehind That's really sweet... thanks. I agree.
Trent Reznor's creations have been apart of me for over 20 years now. Your sounds have shaped my DNA. Much love and respect.
the only musician I know of that you can feel his soul bleed through his work.
well said :)
Exactly. Certain types of enthusiasm are like a pill which very effectively lowers common sense, logic, and awareness. It makes people use terms like "only" in their adoration. Or "the greatest", or "no one else can...", ect. It applies to music, politics, art, writing, patriotism, pretty much anything. But "feel his soul bleed"? LOL. Cmon, talk about cornball. Is she 13?
You don't know alot of musicians then do you.
Marcy obviously hasn't been listening to NiN, or Trent for very long.
Ms. Psycho You must not know a lot of artists
This is truly one of the most amazing and heartfelt piece of music ever created... and the whole new EP "Add Violence" is just plain fucking fantastic.
This reminds me of the period between the downward spiral & the fragile. You could play this to me in the dark and I would know who it was in seconds. I think Trent is the last visionary force left in music. He has spanned 3 decades now while I have been a part of from the beginning.
While nowhere near being the same style, I feel like Trent and Josh Homme benefited a great deal from just being their own thing hidden behind a band that was ever changing. They both kind of do what they want in regards to music and don't get trapped in between their music and the fans. Every album they release is a departure from the last at least a bit, but you can still recognize the core of the band. They also just release music when they feel it is ready to be released and don't rush it. My point is that the very fact that Trent was able to focus on the music and not what some music executives in suits wanted allowed him to evolve his music. The only difference between the two bands is that people I talk to tend to like QotSA more than NIN due to the former being more classicly rock than the later. They are both amazing bands though.
Further Down the Spiral was a bit too much a downer for my state of mind at the time, though I can't deny its quality.
There will never be a "last" visionary force in music, even if it is hard to find. You just have to know where to look...
This comment sums up my feelings on music since the 90's basically.
The Dillinger Escape Plan & Portishead are the only contemporaries in Trent's line of work.
Damn that bassly sound, drives me crazy. NIN did it again, Reznor did it again
Man this hits something far away...R.I.P my dear Soren.
Trent
This walks a razor thin line between a dream and a nightmare
How many times have you listened to this song?
Me: Yes.
Nobody really got how connected Trent and Bowie were. I really don't care if Trent gave Johnny Cash his blessing to do hurt. Not even he could top Trent and Bowie doing it live together.
Long live Trent. And RIP David.
man i sure do love The Nine Inch Nails
I know what you mean, his music just speaks to you on a primal level. He takes something as simple as a an ancient vacuum tube era machine and makes it apply to our lives today.
Ditto. He does most of the music for David Fincher ( Seven, 12 Monkeys, Gone Girl ( i think ) he's my fave director. I cannot for the life of me think of all the other movies he has done, there are many ....Lost Highway! You can see why the two collaborate... a darkness, the ability to effortlessly draw upon every emotion irrespective of it's intensity like a kaleidoscope... he is exceptional
Patient, haunting song.
Probably my favorite song coming from NIN. I don't have to explain myself about this song, it's just... fantastic
I loop this ish for hours at work sometimes. love almost everything Trent touches.
word
Trent always delivers the goods...helps me in rough and tough times. Thank you Trent.
Can't wait to it for this EP. We gotta keep Trent motivated to keep creating.
Apparently there's a third ep to be released at the end of the year.
MrRyan1011 agreed! His music is so good. I was sad when he said he was done with nine inch nails
