Get inspired as musicians dig deep into the creative process of songwriting and reveal their intimate thoughts in a series based on the hit podcast.
we need a nine inch nails documentary like this.
Yes!
Late reply sorry but there is a couple on CZcams
No. We need real documentaries. Not glorified storybooks.
F*** yeah!
It's called into the void.
We've lost many a star from the nineties scenes, I'm thankful trent is still with us.
Ikr? I did not expect to see him here, as who he is now.
Bowie had faith in him. He made it out alive. All power to him.
This is why it makes me sad when people say his music got worse when we went sober. The dude is still alive, doing way better and has a great family? And his music still slaps.
For sure. Would be awesome to still have greats like Layne Staley around. I know Jerry wrote a lot of AiC songs but Layne had some great ones too, and it would be great to hear him talk about what they meant to him.
Fuck yeah!! Trent is bigger than life!
same
Trent is the only artist I can relate to. Too mature for the punk crowd, too punk for the mature crowd.
That
Is a fantastic way to put it
Damn
Well said.
Masterfully stated. Agreed.
Well said!
My best friend took his life 12 years ago and he was the biggest NIN fan. This song played at his funeral to send him off. I just wanted to say I miss you bro.
He's not logging in to read your comment
@@misterface1119 That was disrespectful, fuck you.
Dang :( sorry to hear about that- that’s horrible-
@@misterface1119 are you fucking serious.
Just lost my best friend too. He loved NIN and this song especially. Stay strong man. I know what you’re feeling.
Trent Reznor is a musical genuis and one of my heroes
me too ..although for purely scientific reasons i would have slept with him if he was single..lol
He's more of an inspiration for me. I can relate to his words at the beginning as well, about not feeling comfortable in your own shoes.
so true!!
I saw NIN live in 2006'ish at Red Rocks and it was a surreal experience for a few reasons. It was during Trent's "now clean and ripped" period so he was an absolute beast on stage for 2 and a half hours. It was like he summoned Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins and Maynard into his body to create something of pure talent and raw energy. They played the entire The Downward Spiral along with a bunch of The Fragile. Reptile is especially good live. And to top it off the entire crowd just chilled out and sat in awe at what was happening on stage. It was SO awesome to see and to see Trent doing well. It tops my list of concerts I've been to and I've been to a lot. Trent is a musical genius.
Trent Reznor is the best and will always be my the biggest musical inspiration!
I wish this were 10x longer. I would love to hear more of Trent's thoughts on writing this song.
On Netflix, it is literally a whole 20 min episode lol
@@XXXEnthusiast Thanks!
What's the show called ?
@@jkerwin4317 literally in the title of this video 😅 Song Exploder
its really rare for him to talk like this about the songs.
Trent Reznor is one of music's true geniuses that has evolved, yet still kept his unique sound and originality
“Musical genius” is a phrase that is bandied about a lot, especially by the music press. Regardless of what you think of Trent’s output, I think the term is accurate in his case. It’s much more rare than one thinks.
@@crhkrebs I hate when people call Dave grohl a “musical genius” that fool is so bland
To all the kids who never fit in and didn't have the three friends to start a band with, I hope you're doing ok.
thanks for that
❤
This man gets it. It's all about the goosebumps. No one seems to understand that in music today
It is/was more than that to his fans though. It was 'social glue'. It was a common bond. This was OUR song. He expressed OUR pain. I was definitely "Down in It" and he helped me through dark times so I could eventually rise above it.
Man, you’re not digging enough. The thing that made NIN mainstream was the amount of footwork and research we did in weird used record shops in the cities because all radio played was Jethro Tull and Aerosmith. We created the demand for bands like NIN with the money we made as dishwashers and waiters. YOU have to go out & be that one person in the audience out of only seven or eight people there to see a new band in the back room of a bar in the worst part of downtown. If you can’t be bothered to show up for new bands because you’re too busy writing comments on CZcams about why there are ‘no good bands out there,’ then you need to turn your phone off and go to your nearest club. If there are no clubs, then get a tent & live on the street in a town with decent clubs until you can scrape up enough cash to rent a shitty apartment with 10 roommates. Grohl did it & look where it got him. To find great music out there now, you’ve got to get out & live a life that puts you where the new sounds are.
@@Bikewithlove respect for your truthness pal
A song about someone's self-destruction and eventual suicide that saved mine and the lives of many others since its conception in 1994. Thank you with utmost sincerity, Trent Reznor, not just for Hurt but for The Downward Spiral as a whole.
That was the deepest dive into the music episode on the show. The amount of emotion and thought Trent Reznor put into the song was absolutely groundbreaking.
I didn't move a muscle while watching the episode. It was that enthralling.
I agree! I was so delighted to see just how intentional he was about how his choices affect listeners, translating his emotions into music for us to feel. Stellar.
What is this ? A show on Netflicks?
What's the name of the show?
He’s such a genuinely good musician and I honestly kind of feel spoiled to be able to be a contemporary
@@anandprahlad5434 Song Exploder on netflix, they failed to mention it in the video
In my opinion, and probably the opinion of most people who are music enthusiasts. That song is probably one of the saddest and most heartfelt songs ever made by man, it's not complicated, but it communicates the idea so clearly and so vividly that it connects to those who feel the way the song sounds. Nine Inch Nails is probably one of the best made music projects in history, and almost every song that Trent and his other partners that have worked with him have made have been timeless and inspirational. NIN is really the type of music any crowd can get into, which is very rare, I think that happens because the songs are really about reality, and it's made into a way that is both theatrical and realistic, its not corny, but its also not too real to the point to were its not entertaining, NIN has the perfect balance. Just my opinion, I could be full of it. But so far, to date, I haven't heard anybody that can get into the nooks and crannies of human emotion in that way, at least a handful of musicians have really done that, so far as I can see. Anyways.
"Kill it all away" that line makes me cringe every time
Personally, I find NIN discography hit or miss, but there is No denying Hurt is a wonderful song, and that Trent has Definitely come out with great work quite consistently, at least in terms of he Still has it, even if not Every song is as seductive and disturbing as "closer", anthemic and cathartic as "Head Like A Hole", relatable and sentimental as "Every Day Is Exactly The Same", or painful and yet heartwarming as "Closer".
@@user-ub2jp7tg6k I hear you, but the dude was a lot younger then, to be fair, and wasn't exactly going for Dylan-esque lyrics. I feel like you at least can't question his earnestness about it, including in this interview, compared to pop stars created in boardrooms, on their ghostwritten autotune ballads - which I'm sure was key in Johnny Cash's famous decision to cover it.
Here’s a couple of other bands that are awesome as well porcupine tree album fear of a blank planet, Steven Wilson song the raven that refused to sing and anathema album weather systems
@@JET7C0 it was suggested to Cash.. he covered "One" by U2 as well. Cash covered it but if you could ask his ghost, he would say Of Course Its Trent's masterpiece!
Is it just me or does he seem to have a much more gentle and calm countenance to him now?
Age does that to you. You just learn to hide the anger, I guess.
Right? He seemed really sweet here.
Brilliance tempered by wisdom and experience.
I see a man who overcame his shadow and became stronger for it.
And then he turns around and does a REMARKABLE score for a Pixar film. Genius gets thrown around too much. On Trent, it fits just right.
And Mank! Like nothing him and Atticus have done before!
It has been a perfect playing for me having a lovely and awesome Fan like you, thanks for your love, I have you mostly to be thankful for 🎼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌹🌹🌹
@@fredboner5146 Not sure I can accurately capture my abundance of confusion, surprise and unbridled joy over this response? So I'll just say the most sincere THANK YOU back for the all of your music, in all its many forms (and if it's not you - thank you anyway for the nice words)
Don’t forget to give credit to Atticus Ross. He a goat too.
Many other films too
Tent narrates so well. When he spoke at the Cure's induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he was so well spoken and straight from the heart.
I like trent so much for who he is now. He seems so self aware. He seems like he has learned alot from his past. He shows growth.
Pretty Hate Machine & Downward Spiral got me through high school. I got bullied for being “alternative” and those albums were my sanctuary every day after school.
You got bullied for being alternative? In my high school that's all people listened to. It didn't stop anyone from bullying me just the same though. The 90s were so weird when I look back on them. Not quite the digital future we are in now but not quite the analog past I was born into etheir.
@@stinkyham9050 Well, I went to a private religious preppy school. It was basically like the movie “The Craft.” Everyone listened to Christian music and/or the poppy dance/techno music that was popular then. I was listening to KMFDM, White Zombie, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, etc. So you can imagine why I got bullied. I wish I went to a public school. 🤦🏼♀️
@@morghan_with_an_h Canadian public school sucked too, just for different reasons. I hung out with the biggest bunch of losers on the planet. They all thought they were badass gangsters. One of them is a stripper now (addicted to everything), another is in jail for beating up his girlfriend and another just smokes pot all day with no ambition. Luckily I didn't go down that path and did something with my life.
@@ericr4183 That's nice, physical strength. The only true measure of a person. Think you might be missing the point.
@@stinkyham9050 me too the 90s were awesome!!...a large group of alternative kids...unless i ignored the main streamers...and bullying wasn't a thing in my school really...i grew up in England....i was a weird girl into metal,classical and abit of everything else i found a large group of alt kids from varying backgrounds which was nice!.Also i am brown..but i never felt like an outsider at school or in rock clubs it was just great!!!
I was shocked when i realized in America people got bullied for music tastes...or not being the "right" lol skin-tone and liking metal...its all so confusing.
I remember having to defend the shear awesomeness of “Hurt” to my parents, when I was 14. They down-played like it will never be as good as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, or Johnny Cash. Which were their favorite artists. When Cash’s cover of “Hurt” came out, it was pure bliss to make my parents eat their words.
Good one!
Maybe the song of a generation.
You'll never know how lucky you were to have parents that were even making that argument, lol.
Seriously, one of the greatest song writers ever. People will be exploring his music in a hundred years after we are all dead and gone, like they do with Motzart.
who is Motzart?
There is something so genuinely raw about "hurt" that i love so much.
This episode was fascinating.
The amount of thought and effort he puts into his music is ridiculous. Every sound has a reason for being there. It kind of ruined the rest of the episodes for me honestly
and the more you listen to the songs you notice more sound layers going on underneath it all that you didn't hear before.
@@GyroLamb NIN has been a fantastic constant in my life for 30 years. To this day I find a new noise in a song that I've been listening to for decades. It's truly genius. The song that drew me to the music was Something I Can Never Have.
“Goosebumps. That’s the part that matters the most.” Well said sir..
What have I become, my sweetest friend. Everyone I know goes away in the end.... I remember hearing these lyrics for the first time in my life. One of my all time favorite songs.
It reminds me of my friends at the time who got on smack. I got very judgemental... this song helped me see better.
It has been a perfect playing for me having a lovely and awesome Fan like you, thanks for your love, I have you mostly to be thankful for 🎼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌹🌹🌹
20 years old too, and I listen Downward Spiral , same depresion, same feeling. You don't know how , this album and legacy means to me.
I'm sorry you are suffering like we did and glad you found NIN to help you through it like we did.
Hurt is great but The Great Below is the one that punches me hard in the gut, HARD.
the most underrated song on The Downward Spiral is the instrumental ''A Warm Place' after the madness of Big Man With A Gun, that sad and lonely but still beautiful melody in 'A Warm Place' really hits you in the feels. It's like you're reminded that the character in the story is still a human and fragile. It's like a ray of light on the album.
I found that song right after a breakup and it's literally the only reason I'm still here other than us getting back together
Agree. I love that song tho
@@GyroLamb agreed, A Warm Place also brings me to tears and would be my second favourite NIN song.
Yesss
A couple years after The Downward Spiral came out, I lived with a BF who beat the crap outta me. I'd lock myself in the bathroom to get away from him and blast Hurt on my headphones, it was like Trent was the only one in the whole world that understood what I was going through.
I'm so sorry. I hope you are well out of anything like that now.
Trent has given so many of us a voice. If nothing else, I'm glad you had that at least :-/
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 yup he helped.
Sorry that happened to you, did you get away safely or reconcile? Sorry to be nosy, i hope you are safe now.
Bless U 🙏
🙏
He literally just articulated so eloquently exactly how so much of his music make me feel…to a T. I truly love this man, he is a genius. My world would not be the same w out his music.
This is the only version of hurt that matters to me.
I can't get over how much Johnny cash made it his own though. Even trent says this. Doubly heart breaking when that his last song, passing away a mere week or so later.
Was lucky to meet Trent twice and he was an amazing man to his fans both times. Thank you Trent. I knew what you were going through when you wrote this song. You helped me get through a lot of tough times.
This dude is a legend. Been following him for close to 25 years now. Was lucky enough to see him live for the first time for hardly anything ( he basically told Ticketmaster to f themselves and toured at almost no financial gain for himself) I had just started a new job a week prior where I needed to be there at 5 in the morning , and then had horrible food poisoning two days before the concert. I was half dead when I got there but it was still one of the highlights of my adult life, hands down. He is a class act, I know how much he appreciates his fans.
One of the greatest songs ever written. Lyrics and everything. Trent is a producers producer
Michael Trent Reznor is, without a doubt, and absolute legend..! 💜
Trent Reznor is king❤️
It has been a perfect playing for me having a lovely and awesome Fan like you, thanks for your love, I have you mostly to be thankful for 🎼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌹🌹🌹
grew up crying to practically every song.
He's my favorite musician of all time. That will never change
Hurt is good.
However...
"And All That Could Have Been" is heartbreaking.
first heard tht song right after a breakup high off my mind . had really bad disassociation and people speaking to me tht night that weren't actually there . scary
@@Unorthodox666 Trents music is not often to be taken lightly. The man has a gift of imagery, and a talent for being honest.
For me it's still Something I Can Never Have.
Agreed. For some reason you could jam hurt more often riding off into the sunset All that could have been is seriously like the peak of Rock Bottom.
for me its Right where it belongs
I'm from Trent's hometown in Pennsylvania. I've met so many people acquainted with him and his family. Reading about how he was a loner, band geek and drama kid in school (like I was) and hearing him talk about struggling with senses of abandonment and not fitting in anywhere (like I do) make me feel less alone in this world. Mr. Reznor is unquestionably one of my greatest heroes and I'm immensely happy that he's still with us.
Same here
Thank you, Trent.
Your music is being helping me through all these years...
This brought tears to my eyes...
Trent is one of those rare modern artists that deserves the title musician.
Huh.....Wat?!
Shut the fuck up lol
Ugh, another one...
What makes him not a musician?
@@AJCopp
I'm so glad Trent is still with us. He is a legendary, one of a kind musician
I love Trent Reznor's humaness. His music has always gotten to me in the saddest yet most wonderful way. ♥️💔♥️
The terms "musical genius" get thrown around quite often, but I truly feel like Reznor truly encompasses what it means to be both. I'm not even a fan of his music and feel this way.
Trent Reznor is my spirit animal.
So lucky to have seen the downward spiral tour when I was 10 or 11 years old. Was my first concert and I went alone at that. Mtsu college in middle TN. Changed my life.
What were you doing 10 years old going to a concert alone? Lol 😂 i respect it tho
The way Trent talks in here feels so poetic and true to life, when he talks about goosebumps, how it’s not about flashy playing… makes me think about life… how it’s not about how awesome and sucessfull you are it’s about how you feel and how other people make you feel.
Probably my favorite song of all time. Goosebumps, is damn right.
NIN and Smashing Pumpkins were the bands that were different but amazing in their own way. Other bands too like Radiohead etc.
I honestly don’t know how anyone could even put Smashing Pumpkins in the same sentence as NIN.
Dealt with addiction most of my life .. so his story always resonated with me .
"Never feeling like i fit in anywhere." That's me every day. And that's why I've always loved Trent. Even before i knew he felt that way, i could feel it.
Trent's my ultimate musical hero, and probably my biggest inspiration overall. Pretty emotional seeing him then and now, as we all age. All the problems I can relate to. I'm just so glad he's still here.
My husband, a farmer, passed away in an accident a year ago. This song has been therapy for me. Thank you Trent.
Heart goes out to you.
Recommend the ‘hurt prebanda remix’
Easily in the top 20 songs ever written. "Goosebumps" songs are rarer than hens teeth, this one was so perfect the cover had the same effect.
No music has helped me through the harder times in life than NIN
Yes! Goosebumps! Sadness and a sense of abandonment… everything you said, described me perfectly. Wow.
Yes, Lacretia. Yes.
I would love hearing him speak on every song like this. It’s very calming.
"I want you to feel a certain way."
This actually speaks to the genius that is Trent Reznor and I don't throw that term around lightly. I have seen many interviews with Trent where he hints that he uses this approach often to craft his songs and as a musician myself, I get it...
He is a master at making you feel a certain way in seemingly nuance tones. the slight buzz of sounds that swell like insects during summer, the delayed notes on a quiet piano that feel like sunlight gently piercing through fog, the off putting industrial clangs for drums that disorientate and feels metallic. The music is so visceral as if I could touch it like slogging through mud barefoot and the squish squish of it burrows between my toes.
Glad Rick Rubin Got Johnny Cash to Cover It! He immortalized it & made it 100xs More special for This Generation and the Next Many more newer generations to appreciate It and Himself along with Reznor forever More! R.I.P Johnny Cash😎✌
Outsiders united! Hurt is one of my favourite songs. I was very surprised to find this type of content from Netflix, and please, we need more!
One of the prettiest, meaningful songs ive ever heard. And 20some years later and i still get goose bumps listing to hurt.
I wasn't expecting to cry when i watched the full episode. I'm over most of the feelings i had when this song meant so much to me as a teenager. But fuck if the memory ever really leaves you. I go through periods where I don't listen to NIN anymore and then i always come back.
It's so good to hear artists talk about how they come to write the songs that mean so much to us. Hurt is so beautiful. I've heard it live a few times, and I always get chills. Beautiful.
I was a young teenager when I first heard this song (13 or 14) and it stuck with me. It conveyed into words how I felt at that time. Lost, sad, alone, depressed, angry. I would sob as I sang along to those lyrics, sometimes almost screaming them out because I was so angry at the world for allowing me to feel this way. I get teary just thinking about it now. This song will always hold a place in my heart. A place no other song will take. It's beautiful, it's haunting, its tragic. Thank you Trent for sharing your talent with the world. Thank you for opening up mine.
Hurt tempered by wisdom and experience.
A man of such depth and care that one can't help but feel it seep through his art and within oneself...
Fun fact: 1995, my just freshly broken hearted girlfriend knocks on my door, saying... "Wheres my hurt?!" ..meaning this epitome of an album I had just borrowed a few nights prior, was requested returned, alas, the only song I lived for, at the dying sunset of our youthful love, the synthesizer, light bass thump and Trent's eye's wide shut declaration, ...was all I needed, safely secured in my percolated heart-
It’s so interesting to see Trent Reznor as an older man. Thanks for being there for my adolescence man. You helped me figure out some shit in my head. And you still do
Never gonna see another talent like this. Thanks TR.
I feel like that’s way too short to explain that song.
Trent has always been someone I’ve always wanted to sit down and talk to for hours about the writing/recording process, not to mention a million other things.
Trent I completely understand & it is rational. I feel that way often & it scares the shit outta me. You are so unique, so talented. So eloquent when you speak & when you take what your feeling, put it into words, then add incredible sounds to make music that maybe not everyone understands, just those that see the world & feel similarly to you. You are a true gift that makes me feel less alone.
He's such an amazing philosopher of music. So many artists write songs and can't even explain what the lyrics mean but Trent can tell you what the individual tones mean. A true genius.
Never really liked NiN but Trent was an absolute poet. He wrote amazing lyrics I can appreciate that. Hurt obviously being one of the greatest songs ever written. When Johnny Cash covers your song, you know you got a winner.
Never knew too much about Trent or listened to Nine Inch Nails. After learning about his hardships and accomplishments only through the love of his fans, I searched and found this video very happy to learn he is still alive. His story is definitely a great one.
It is a pretty immense body of work. Something for everybody, kinda.
A part of me has forever debt to having grown up on it and influencing me and how I hear music (I’m a musician), and the other part wishes I was just checking them out now. haha Enjoy.
What hardships?! First world problems dude.
@@s.gharavi1614 kya matlab first world problems bro? Drug addiction ek first world problem kaise hota hai? Bharat me bhi ye problem hai aur tu drug addiction ko first world problem me kyu categorize kar rahe ho? Bharat me bhi nahi, sare ya most third world countries me ye ek rising problem hai aur tu bolra first world problem?
@@MarcAlexander-bo1fe drug use and abuse is everywhere and increasing, especially in first world countries. That's my point, that doesn't make you special or somehow give access to pain and suffering not felt by literally hundreds of millions of not billions. Show me someone whose actually suffered and their pain has meaning. But this common crap. And yes, I've known MANY people who have OD.
@@MarcAlexander-bo1fe and you must understand that in the western world making everyone feel like they're special is a huge part of the social problem.
I would absolutely love if you guys did Everlong.
There is so much story behind it.
Please Netflix, make a documentary on Trent. The explanation of how he made sounds so super important and interesting.
It's pretty surprising Trent is still alive, he seems like the kind of person that would've self destructed by now (like a lot of the music he wrote about sings about like Mr Self Destruct). But he has this real gift for recognizing notes and interesting sounds, electronically and sonically. I think him and Danny Elfman would do some great music together, and they are both legends to me.
It never ceases to amaze me of the power that music has over us. But, what's more mysterious is how the lyrics and melody come together, to make a song that just blows you away and stays with you forever. I wonder what it would feel like to be that talented and creative.🎵
god, I wanna watch the whole thing. this made me so excited.
I diiiiid. HEEEEheeee.
Im impressed that he has the capacity to share such intimate things about his emotional and mental state so candidly and with such humility. Very classy.
A true genius. One of my all time heroes
I've been searching Netflix for something substantial and found this series. EVERYONE should write songs. It is the most fun, a great way to channel your passion, your anger, to beautify the world... whatever. I also found unexpectedly deep insights by watching the doc Jim and Andy, about what was going on behind the making of Man on the Moon.
Jim Carrey said that Andy Kaufman was one of the most free people that ever walked the earth because he refused to identify with a single persona. We all make the mistake of constructing this ME thing and it's so much more freeing when we let it go.
I also watched Cracked Up, a doc about comedian/impersonator Darrell Hammond from SNL, who was horribly abused as a child. Like so many comedians, he tried to make his mother laugh as a survival instinct. It's not mental illness, it's a mental INJURY that cannot be cured with drugs.
Hurt lyrics:
_I hurt myself today_
_To see if I still feel_
_I focus on the pain_
_The only thing that's real_
_The needle tears a hole_
_The old familiar sting_
_Try to kill it all away_
_But I remember everything_
_What have I become?_
_My sweetest friend_
_Everyone I know goes away_
_In the end_
_And you could have it all_
_My empire of dirt_
_I will let you down_
_I will make you hurt_
_I wear this crown of thorns_
_Upon my liar's chair_
_Full of broken thoughts_
_I cannot repair_
_Beneath the stains of time_
_The feelings disappear_
_You are someone else_
_I'm still right here_
_What have I become?_
_My sweetest friend_
_Everyone I know goes away_
_In the end_
_And you could have it all_
_My empire of dirt_
_I will let you down_
_I will make you hurt_
_If I could start again_
_A million miles away_
_I would keep myself_
_I would find a way_
Crown of thorns... It's not Johnny Cash
Crown of shit. Come on, Netflix 🙄
Thanks, Netflix.
It’s 👑 of 💩
'Edited'?
Are you afraid to say shit?
Amazing artist. He always does give me goosebumps.
I've been making music for awhile now. When I was in school for it, one of the first 'tricks' I worked out and started using in a lot of my stuff for awhile was using infinite reverbs to create my own pads, and sometimes layered with quiet a grain delay to add a rhythmic quality to it. really cool to hear Trent say they did a similar thing
I am and will always be a lifetime fan of Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails. Anywhere they explore musically opens up new worlds for me, easily
I have conducted and explored some musically carved worlds as well. Lately it’s been hard, but it is opening up again
Shoutout to Red Martian
I love nine inch nails in hindsight they represent the various phases of life. At the time the fragile came out I still was "spiralling" and I find most of the later works can be the tides of water circling the spiral on the outer reaches of the body or pool of work. Spiral will always be the apex for me
2:28 I got goosebumps too Trent every time I listen to this song
It was one of my favourite songs on Downward Spiral and still gives me goosebumps to this day!
Trent is too iconic.
Have to do your research on this album to fully appreciate the song. Makes the experience a thousand times better.
Not enough NIN fans appreciate what a fascinating person Trent is
This song hits me in so many different ways, makes me think of everyone I've lost for many years, kind of like Ozzy and see you on the other side.
I remember the first time listening to ''Hurt'' and it instantly struck a chord with me. Goosebumps indeed! Love you, Trent.
The master tapes of Downward Spiral should be in The Smithsonian. That album is truly genius.
This dude is such an inspiration!
p.s. "Hurt" is one of my most favourite songs.
goosebumps with this unforgettable song. every time.
❤ love you tent. So glad i got to see you at the Eden Project Cornwall uk xx❤
I still get goosebumps from that song...
He definitely succeeded with the goosebumps part.
Trent's explanation makes so much sense,absolute genius and incredibly gifted.
I love watching Trent Reznor talk about how he created his music like from a technical standpoint. Its so intriguing. Also the interviews where he reflects about past albums and his expirences. Very well spoken person
