    Trent could tell us he was gonna make an album by banging on a trashcan with a rake while swinging 2 cats around in a burlap sack, and there's no doubt it would be a phenomenal album.

    Beautiful. It is almost unbelievable to see the kind of things Trent Reznor is able to create, he is without any doubt one of the best contemporary musicians. Of course, Atticus Ross is great too and Mariqueen is the perfect voice that complete them.

    Everything in this song just sounds so pristine clear, the plucking of the instruments, the clanky acoustics, the gentleness in the singers voice... Trent really was inspired by the Ghosts album to make this band I can tell.

Wonderful job, Mariqueen. Wonderful. Really hearing her voice fully on this one and loving it. I hope Mariqueen and Reznor keep on working together to make more amazing pieces like this one.

      In the June 3rd 2009 Mansfield NIN show (watch?v=rIsAazPVnFQ) Trent speaks briefly saying that he locked himself in a house on the ocean saying he was going to write new music but actually had the intent of committing suicide. He didn't obviously, but he did write La Mer. So yeah I absolutely agree, even if this isn't the house itself, this song and its set represents that house and that feeling.

    • @bigguy1164
      @bigguy1164 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good senses. Back in 1998 - 1999 Reznor was talking about starting a female side project where he could finally go back to hiding behind his synthesizer instead of being the main attraction. He apparently earmarked Aaliyah as a potential candidate but between making the fragile, his addiction problems and her demise, the idea was shelved for another 10 or so years.

    Its so surreal to me still because I had a friend named Marqi who looked EXACTLY like Mariqueen, loved NIN and Trent, but she killed herself about 18 years ago. I remember when I first saw a photo of Mariqueen, I thought it was Marqi and I had to question reality for a bit. I hope Marqi can hear this beautiful music wherever she has moved onto. I miss that beautiful, sweet girl. 🖤

    I'll always love the music he made while he was going through the hardest of his times, but there's something to be said for a man who makes amazing music after they've passed through those times and has found what's special to them,
    Thank you Trent.

    As Trent is the only official member of NIN, he is NIN, or NIN is part of Trent, but even though NIN's music ranges from one end of spectrum to another, we can still hear him experiment with something new and that is wonderful. How many artists can go from "Pretty hate machine" downward the spiral, hold on to sanity with_teeth, finish with Year Zero, and then move on to make something like this. I can name you one, Steven Wilson. These two guys are fucking geniuses, outstanding and unmatched

    I don't understand why so many comments on HTDA songs complain about her voice or why Trent doesn't sing. I think she has a beautiful voice and it works great with these dark and delightfully eerie rhythms and beats. This is NOT NIN, it's Trent's side project and if you can't respect the artistic creativity that goes into anything Trent works on then that's a damn shame for you. No one is telling you to like this or not. The industry needs more artist who create music they love.

    This is definitely my favorite HTDA track thus far. It's a stronger departure from the signature NIN sound, has good lyrics, and it shows off Mariqueen's vocals.
    It also sounds suspiciously like bluegrass to me, which is one of my all time favorite genres. I'd like to hear more like this track.

    One thing I've always respected about TR is that he isn't afraid to experiment a little and step outside of his comfort zone. I for one am glad that HTDA provides an outlet for him to do so. I see now why he stopped reading forums/Twitter/etc, because if it doesn't sound exactly like Downward Spiral, the masses lose their collective shit.

    I find it looks the same, but everything has changed
    I find remembering gets harder every day
    Sometimes I still believe who I pretend to be
    Sometimes, well everything's exactly how it seems
    I see the color of your eyes turn to gray
    I feel the wind is growing colder every day
    Sometimes I open up the walls and disappear
    Sometimes the crashing of the waves is all I hear
    Ocean, help me find a way
    Ocean, wash us all away
    I know that everything we did will come around
    I take the thought of you and burn it to the ground
    Sometimes I'm waiting for this ice age to arrive
    Sometimes the hate in me is keeping me alive
    Ocean, help me find a way
    Ocean, wash us all away
    Ocean, help me find a way
    Ocean, carry us away

    Listening to deadmau5's remix of this song you can understand what a huge producer he is. Not talking about the absurd sound engineering, Zimmerman simply added something special to the track making it unique.
    Great song. Perfect remix.
    Deadmau5 is hands down the best electronic music producer of 21st century.

Let alone what I can only assume is a Chinese instrument that Trent learned how to play. Those of you that want NIN, go listen to your albums already!

    I personally love both Trent and deadmau5, deadmau5 in my opinion is one the few electronic music producers that actually put an artistic meaning to what their music is and represent and it is not just a bunch of random sounds... both the original and the remix version of this song are great but I see some of you hating the fact that deadmau5 touched this, believe me it is 10000 times better that it was touched by deadmau5 and not just a ramdom producer out there... Joel actually is a big fan of Nine Inch Nails

      It's a PPG Realizer. One of the rarest synthesizers in the world. Only two were made in the 80's, and I heard Trent may possibly have the only functioning unit. Some crazy software synth developer really needs to talk Wolfgang Palm into providing details and source code to enable replication of a modern virtual version of it.
