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.
You speak Truthiness... The past two weeks I can't imagine how I ever listened to anything but NIN and Alice In Chains. And I'm not sure definitely going though it....Last month it was QOTSA and PJ Harvey. Next month? As long as it's not all The Cure all the time...
@@jenfraher I liked this comment, but I keep grinning like an idiot thinking about it, like "She fucking gets it! Why didn't she go to my high school?" So... 🥂!
@@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
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.
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.
It even has a similarity to "The Hand That Feeds", "you move on and feel good, because they do what they tell you, but inside your heart it's dark and cold" in short
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!!
IF ITS TOO LOUD YOUR TOO OLD DEB!!!! GET THE MUTHAFUCKIN' ASSISTED LIVING CENTER A NATIONAL HOLIDAY FOR THE Largest Geriatric Orgy in Grunge history For real...Crank That Shit Deb
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.
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!
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 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.
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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...
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 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 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'm a part of 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 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 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
@@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 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.
Nobel Peace Prize means nothing if these dudes haven't won it for this song. Sainthood barely holds a candle to this masterpiece of production. This is quite possibly the best thing Humanity has ever accomplished.
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.
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
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.
When this video first came out, Trent Reznor was 35. I thought, "That's an incredibly old age to be." Now I am 35. Just thought the world needed to know.
@@resplendentwitticism Yeah, well next year I'll be 36 and so I'll have to find someone who is 36 and seems both old and young. I just looked it up and loads of famous people died at 36, also there were some who didn't make it until after they were 36. Remember: Bram Stoker was 50 years old when he wrote "Dracula", but Dracula was already dead when he first tasted blood. For some reason, I am a fan of NIN and I know what age Trent Reznor was when he made this video.
Maybe I'm too high, but whomever sees this...watch this video but visualize everyone is Covid and Trent is the last human remaining. Hits different huh
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
That scene is around 4:45. I’ve just rewatched it like 10 times. Best part of the video for sure. The whole build up was to that one fleeting moment. It’s speaking to me really hard right now.
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!!
This video was taken in Guadalajara, Mx. Lots of boys invited to take part of it just dressed in black and running around. Darn how I miss those days in college...
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 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 .
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 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.
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.

@@leahsk4adult 😂
The two go hand-in-hand. When you truly love someone, pain is part of the package.
@rishaa682 in this case it sounds like OP was saying the pain heard here indicates
* presence * of love (or love lost) not absence
Personally I think this is the most powerful and greatest love song ever written.
It's not a love song it's about being a part of something when in reality you're alone in the struggle

Loving Nin and also other dark genres from artists like
Gary Numan, Portishead, Chelsea Wolfe, Tool, Tricky, Ho99o9, Allflaws
Omg, tool is the best!!!
This video was filmed in the city of Guadalajara Jal. Mexico in the year 1999. I was there and I had 9 years in production.🇲🇽✌️🇺🇸
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
@@stephaniehowell17 YEP! You're absolutely right I forgot about that!
Cool little flash of a story 😊
The type of comments that I love to read
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.
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
Someone just asked me "What is your favorite love song?" and here I am.
🥰
Great taste

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
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
Please pass on my thanks to the communi5t bastards for gifting us covid.
@@t8283287 china is more capitalist than america lol
Damn! Hopefully things get better soon 🙏🏻🙏🏻 whole world unite!
hey joseph, are you back home?
"You cant make industrial electro type music both catchy and good" Trent: "Hold my chorus"
No one has ever said that and that stupid "hold my (insert thing)" forced meme has always been unfunny.
This instrumental gives me the chills.
+K Boyd same here.. same here :)
their every instrumental is perfect boi
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🤘😎🤘
When I listen to this, I wish, that I could triple my maximum volume.
Word...
Bump
Going to buy a sound system for the car "play this album please, and find the best speakers for it"
There is switch button, slider, side of temple. Adjust as desired, "Joshua".
Don't injure your ears!
Born in small town Pennsylvania, started off musically in Cleveland. If Cleveland doesn't give you dark inspiration I don't know what will
The best NIN song.
The closing section is genuine.
You know you're in for a tough year when all the sudden NIN songs become more and more relatable once again.
Its disturbing in a good way
you just copied the comment from below and paste it here...
@@ahmedshabbir8345 look closer
I mean, that's why I am here. Bring depressed and loving NIN.
Always been relatable …
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
I love this song, just like the city where they recorded this great video. My beautiful Guadalajara. 😎❤️🇲🇽
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
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
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 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'm a part of
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
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
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 and me
Even after everything
You're then queen and I am the king
Nothing else mean anything"
I love that line
Genius!
yass thank uu sirs
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.
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
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.
Trent Reznor is a musical genius. No words can sufficiently describe my adoration for him.
Nobel Peace Prize means nothing if these dudes haven't won it for this song. Sainthood barely holds a candle to this masterpiece of production. This is quite possibly the best thing Humanity has ever accomplished.
'Youre the queen and I'm the king nothing else means anything'
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 :/
Verse 1]
I've become impossible

All used and beaten up
Watching fate
As it flows
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
[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

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

Мне почти ничего не снится, но если да, то сны почти такие же. Всё размытое, всё бесцветное, все куда-то бегут. И я бегу.
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!
Another one for the Isolation 2020 Playlist!! 👍
SW MN?
Nailed it😎
Top 5 !
When this video first came out, Trent Reznor was 35. I thought, "That's an incredibly old age to be." Now I am 35. Just thought the world needed to know.
Your perception of age changes as you get older lol
I thought my grandparents then parents were old at 60. I will be 60 tomorrow... it's not old 😉
Yeah, well now he's 55 (I just looked this up), and that doesn't seem very old now. It's a long ways from 15, though.
I am 34. I feel you on that.
@@resplendentwitticism Yeah, well next year I'll be 36 and so I'll have to find someone who is 36 and seems both old and young. I just looked it up and loads of famous people died at 36, also there were some who didn't make it until after they were 36. Remember: Bram Stoker was 50 years old when he wrote "Dracula", but Dracula was already dead when he first tasted blood. For some reason, I am a fan of NIN and I know what age Trent Reznor was when he made this video.
Well, I’m 67, now 70 is not looking so old!
Maybe I'm too high, but whomever sees this...watch this video but visualize everyone is Covid and Trent is the last human remaining. Hits different huh
I love this whole song but the ending with the piano is haunting and yet beautiful.
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.
I was never a big NIN fan but even I can admit this song was absolute fire.
How could not like them?
What's wrong with you
@@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 ❤️
Im sure if you dig deeper into their catalogue you'll find a lot for your taste
@@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.
Is absolute fire*
NINE INCH NAILS 🤘🏽
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 first time hearing this,I am impressed
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
20 now!
What is the meaning of this video clip?
@@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.
A love song for the apocalypse.
I've always wanted this to be told to me with unconditional truth and love. Still listen with hope. Written with such passion.
@@fahimbaig7827 No, just as long as it's real.
Hey.... we're in this together!
@@ratio8098 Thank you!
I guess we all do
It's the energy of marriage that has been lost if you ask me (which nobody is 🤣). It's not 50/50....it's 100/100.
Ahh, '99 Reznor, you handsome son of a guy.
GinnyGun94 son of a bitch u mean
/r/blunderyears
HE STILL HOT AF
+Beetlejuice yeah still hot now that he got rid of those bieber pants he was wearing a year or two ago
He literally has no neck now because he's so ripped.
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
still blasting this gem of a song. 48 yrs of age ... seen NIN 30x times from 1991 through 2013.
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?
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.
:,)
Aubrey Sabre damn it, well said... Its exactly how i feel when i listen to this song...
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
That clip when they're on the train and the woman just gives him that smile,,,Gives me goosebumps everytime
That scene is around 4:45. I’ve just rewatched it like 10 times. Best part of the video for sure. The whole build up was to that one fleeting moment. It’s speaking to me really hard right now.
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!!
The photography in this video is so fuc*in' great!

Filmed in Guadalajara, Jalisco, México
Drug town
y al ultimo en Valle de Santiago Gto.
This video was taken in Guadalajara, Mx. Lots of boys invited to take part of it just dressed in black and running around. Darn how I miss those days in college...
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.
Hard to believe this song is nearly 20 where the fuck has the time gone
I thought it was more like 10 years...
Or am I missing something?
A music video that actually seems to have some sort of message. That's unusual.😳
Iam Pyre that why music back then was so better
yes, because this isn't crappy pop music.
It has more meaning than the joy of it being the fifth day of the week.
lyrics that actually mean something ...theres a thought for the next generation!!!
the man name steve back then? oh yeah way back in 2009 xDD
Iam Pyre
and what's the message? tell me fucking moron
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 .
without a doubt one of the most powerful songs ever made by Trent 🖤
One of the best NIN songs... and for me the best album... the fragile had changed me forever
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.
+Timothy Harbison Years ago & Years Ahead.
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.
I crave authentic genius like this again.
My god I was 16 years old when this awesome song played on the radio. Now I'm 35 years old dammit time flies people.
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.
Fate has a way of giving its hardest battles to its toughest soilders so don't forget a light is the most aprishiated in the darkest of places.
