When I was pregnant with my son, the ONLY THING that calmed him, was playing N.I.N. through head phones wrapped around my stomach. He spent the 19 short years of his life IMMERSED in " all things Trent." He died in 2016... 2 days after he turned 19.... from cardiomyopathy. 6 years later, wrapping this song around my ears is the ONLY THING that keeps me from giving up the ghost. I miss you DWE 😭💔 P.s.. Trent ... I still pray for your grandma.... Anyone who understands, knows too much... My heart is for you. 💙 Edited 04.21.24 a couple people have asked, so I will clarify. My son lived with me. He went to bed just like normal on the night of 13 September, 2016. The next morning, I found him in his bed, not moving, not breathing. I called 911. (It took them 45 minutes to get there. ) I tried CPR.... I'm 5 feet 5 inches. My son is six feet. I TRIED I TRIED I TRIED I FAILED. The coroner said he had an enlarged heart. He died from Cardiomyopathy. 19 years and 2 days old. Shortly before my son died, he said he hopes he gets to do ONE thing in his life that really matters because he doesn't deserve to have life as good as he has it. I think his death has shown that compassion and sincere support can be found in the least likely of places. Now that he's gone, I'm always terrified that there's never going to be anyone to remember him with me. But I feel like other NIN fans TRULY DO care. If my son were here today, he would say, look for that one friend of family member, or class mate or Co worker, or whomever it is, that is always on the outside. The person who is never cool or popular the person who never gets invited anywhere. Get to know them. Become their friend. You may just find something that you can't buy for all the material riches in the world.
i wish i was as articulate as you...this music attracts the best people in my opinion.. similar perspectives i guess.. but whatever it may be... good words.
well space and time are supposedly linked. just like how with everything in the universe never being destroyed or created, time never really passes. everything that will happen and has happened in happening now. its just the frame you look at it in. even still, everything is an unknown, i might just be hitting my head on what i think is a desk instead of typing this :)
his music is so dark, real and easily understood in your darkest moments. There's happy, fake music. Then there's real and cruel music. This is what makes Trent, in my opinion, one of the greatest musicians out there. Though most of his music is dark and tragic, it fits and is so relatable. Life has many dark and tragic moments, it brings comfort listening to an artist who knows exactly what you're going through. Keep it real Trent, you'll always be my favorite.
Some of us feel more comfortable in the not so sunshine lollipops feel. Trent Reznor is a comfortable place to be ok with that. That aside he is an amazing musician as are the people who have worked with him through out the years. Truly magic.
It’s been an honor to be alive during nin existence. Every album released perfectly fit to what was going on in my life and even today as I’m older and they are older I still feel connected to his music no matter what.
its timeless music. i can still remember sitting in the mall parking lot as a teenager listening to a cassette i just bought....an album titled pretty hate machine....i was blown away by it...that was 1989 i think.
This song is about the death of Trent's grandmother Clara, but it's more specifically about her funeral. Trent speaking about priest burying his grandmother/cremating her. On the outside, he looks calm and collected, knowing it's his job. But on the inside, it pains him to have to lay another one to rest. Years of these rituals has made his face plastic.. emotionless in front of death which has left him cold and grey. His mind forces him remain apathetic about having to put someone to rest infront of many loved ones, breaking down. The sweetest price the priest will have to pay? When he has to lay the entire world to rest and the whole world goes away. The song is dedicated The priest and his grandmother.. The person who was calm while everyone else was breaking down..
I could listen to Nine Inch Nails all day. They are one of the only bands that I have consistently liked since middle school. I'm 22 now, going on 8 years of being a fan.
I hear you. I bought My first nails CD when i was 11 (1993). Pretty Hate Machine. It had been out for about 4 years at the time. 6 months later The Downward Spiral was released. That album changed my life. Been a fan for over 20 years now. I'm seeing NIN in August and am every bit as excited as when i first saw them in 1996.
I discovered him around 6 years ago when I was 20. Pretty "late" in his career. I can listen to any of Trent's work on a daily basis and never get sick of it. He has so much material and it is all so deep and fulfilling that I'll be enjoying it until the day I die. I just hope he keeps making music for another 20 years. He's as good as ever right now.
XD When I was 14, I made my mom buy The Downward Spiral for me. I used to sit in my room for hours listening. I will be 34 this year and I still love this music. Fuck this just makes me cry...
I was in my teens and beginning to wrap my mind around abuse I experienced as a child. The honest sorrow and anger in Reznor's voice - I could relate that to the disgust and anguish I felt. It changed the way I viewed the world and was a catalyst to feel what I needed to, in order to move on.
2 year old comment, But thank you for your service. We civilians could never understand what you guys went through there. Regardless of the purpose of the war, You laid it down and took care of what Was demanded. Thank you.
This version of this song makes me bawl my eyes out. It reminds me of my dad and the months leading up to his suicide. Nine Inch Nails is really good at hitting the mark with my various emotions. All of them.
Still is the best thing Trent Reznor ever made. Seriously, a lot of people cite The Downward Spiral as his peak, for one reason or another and I'm not saying it isn't great- because I fucking love The Downward Spiral. But, I genuinely believe Still is a masterpiece.
Aaaah I see wat u did there they have used nineinchnails forever to movies look at the movie seven at the beginning or man on fire I man on fire list goes on and on
I still think Trent is one of the most underrated talents of our time , one of those where when he moves on to that great below , people are going to look at his body of work and just go WOW . What a remarkable talent .
He isn’t underrated, he won big awards, it’s not like he’s this industrial underground artist. His music is the closest to mainstream pop as it gets, i’d call it industrial pop. I don’t mean he’s a bad artist, i like NIN, but they’re easy listening compared to other underground industrial acts who are the real geniuses behind industrial music.
I want to be that guy who would give a paragraph essay on why exactly pain exists...but...this sort of pain, truly does tell us that we're still human and alive. I don't believe that there is a meaning to life, you can make your own of course, but that's subjective. Human emotion. So interesting, isn't it? We can't describe it, but we don't need to. That's the truest connection we have with everyone.
know matter your darkest day theres brighter tomorrow,,without the sad there is no happy , ying and yang* . life will happen with or without anyone person but it wouldnt be the same , we live to die and die inside to live , anything worth doing isnt gonna be easy and thats the point ,,GET BUSY LIVING, OR GET BUSY DYING
Despite the quagmire of pain on the road so many have taken by journeying with Trent Reznor from the beginning, there are times when something so unmistakably beautiful graces my senses that this man pulled from the depth of his mind. Truly, few artists in this world reach such a level. But a handful every century and this man stands among the 20th and 21st century as something to aspire toward in soul moving music.
"Thought he had it all, before they called his bluff. Found out that his skin just wasn't thick enough. Wanted to go back to how it was before. And although he'd lost everything, right then he lost a whole lot more." -Trent Reznor
This song takes me back to the day I lost my daughter. That morning was the happiest I had ever been in my life, because she was entering this world. Nothing could've ruined my happiness, or so I thought. Happiness quickly turned into horror and despair, as we were told she had passed just as she was coming into the world. No warning, no "accident" that could've resulted in her death, and no explanation. That is the day the whole world went away for me, and I went away from the world. I'm a ghost of who I was, and who I was going to be. I'll never get that part of me back. My friends and family can tell, no matter how hard I try to show otherwise.
It was a grey day and I had just started a fire to get rid of old stuff from my mothers house. She was ill in cancer and had spent her last 4 months at the hospital. I started throwing things on the fire, memories that I had no room for. This song started playing on my iPod and everything felt like a film. First time i heard it. So emotional. I played the last two minutes over and over again till the fire was out. It became the soundtrack of my mother and will always stay with me. Amazing song.
Listened to this song a lot while my dad was dealing with liver cancer from his long abuse of alcohol. It was a short battle and he passed away in the middle of the night. This song perfectly matches the feeling deep down that him and I will never be able to mend our relationship. Just thought I'd share some emotions
The first time I listened to this song I was strugling with pancreatic cancer myself, I called my gf at that time to tell her about this beautiful song but she didn't answer, she was pregnant and was being taken to the hospital for a problem in her cervix. She had an abortion that day. After my parents died of old age, without the opportunity to have a grandson/daughter, I listened to this song for answers, over and over. Then I died of cancer, but fortunately, we got wifi here in hell so I can tell my story. Trent used to say, if there is a hell, I'll see you there, so I'm here, waiting patiently for him.
I jammed this constantly during my dads short 3 week battle with cancer. It was too late by the time they caught it and he was in too much pain so he was drugged up those last 3 weeks of his life. My father and I were always at odds with eachother and the worse part was there was so much I wanted to say but was afraid to and he could hardly say anything anyway so I just stayed hiding in my room until he passed.
I'd listen to the words he'd say but in his voice I heard decay the plastic face forced to portray all the insides left cold and gray there is a place that still remains it eats the fear it eats the pain the sweetest price he'll have to pay the day the whole world went away
Cody Osborn The lyrics are saying that "the whole world went away" when Jesus died and Christianity was born. A derogatory message against Christianity. "The plastic face forced to portray" is the Crucifix. "The insides left cold and gray" means he doesn't believe Jesus was Christ, God's son or anything more than any other person on Earth and He didn't resurrect after crucifixion because His insides and organs died, just like everyone else. I'm a Christian, so I'm not saying this because I believe it.
I'd listen to the words he'd say But in his voice I heard decay The plastic face forced to portray All the insides left cold and gray There is a place that still remains It eats the fear it eats the pain The sweetest price he'll have to pay The day the whole world went away
Mine was never opioids or opiates mine was crack cocaine 17 years took thousands and thousands of dollars away from myself and I know what you mean 2 years 2 months sober today
This is the only song I found in all these years that gives me a little of each feeling. Not the typical sad song that makes you cry, no the best song that gives you nostalgia, not the perfect song that makes you feel joy. It's just a song that gives you a piece of everything, like life is. Is the song of the past, is a song for the present, and for what is yet to come.
The day my whole world went away was .09.14.16, when my son died from cardiomyopathy 2 days after turning 19. I grew up listening to N.I.N. I played it for him when he was in my tummy..... Trent was his obsession. R.I.P. D.W.E.
This is one the songs I can see myself listening anytime anywhere in the world... at a funeral, in a train, at night in bed, during end of the world, a distant old memory.
Cory Meece not as deep or as well as trent reznor. and reznor uses metaphor that everyone can relate to. rappers are so direct and specific and they lack a lot of metaphor that it's hard to relate to their stuff unless you're an angry black guy living in a similar situation.
Cory Meece Unfortunately rap lacks musical nuance... not that beats aren't sick, they just don't reflect the emotional spectrum required to make an all-consuming song.
There is no public statement from Trent on what this song means as far as i can tell. It could and probably is about Popsicles and his hatred of them. I'm pretty sure that's it.
In Egyptian mythology they would weigh your heart on a scale against a feather. If your heart (or sins) were greater than the weight of the feather Sobek would eat the heart and your soul would be cast into the underworld. This video reminds me of that with the scale, the feather, and the general feeling. Anyway, love this song.
My dog passed away from complications after surgery..he's the 10% that wasnt gonna fully recover...put him to sleep..today..looked him in the eyes and whispered to him as he fell...
I immediately recognized the song being a long time fan.. But even though it already had very emotional meaning to me... Hearing it during the end of the person of interest episode.. it even gave me more chills. I will miss Root. Thanks Trent for your epic music!
MickAri B Once I saw the title of the episode, I knew this song would play, and I knew it was going to be a doozy. I'm pretty mad that I wasn't wrong. That scene with this song and the overall plot line of that show, was the perfect mixture. Easily one of my favorite moments of any form of media. Great artist, great show, great character.
One of my Fucking ALL TIMEEEE favorite NIN songs and they used is the Bear?!?!! Whatttt The music supervisor on this show is unreal. Sufjan, Radiohead, and Nine inch Nails all used in season 2.
I knew this song (and NIN) from the trailer for Terminator Salvation back in 2009, but I heard this version for the first time in The Bear S2. Amazing piece, every version fits on a different mood and hits perfectly
I feel like I relate to most of his songs. The struggle is real. Mine being anxiety and depression caused by panic disorder. Yet when I go through it, I find myself comforted by Trent and his music. The unique sound and style combined with the powerful lyrics are something we can all feel in our bones.
Trent has always had a song for me, this being one of my favorites. It somehow brings tranquility and peace even when dealing with things that makes everyday so challenging. Family issues are so much harder around the holidays. This is why I wish away this part of the year...no one can love or get along...
One of the best musicians of his generation, the piano fills the void and paints the perfect contrast between low and high pitches and tones, masterpiece
I’ve luved Trent since the 80’s whether it’s the “darkest moments” or just LIFE in general. He definitely feels or understands the “hurt” many of us know.
curling up in a ball crying, this song ringing through my mind like the white noise that some parts of life give you. everything seems so fragile and delicate when i hear this song, like your entire life is leading up to one moment of final pain. to all of you out there that feel the same way when you hear this song, i hope that you all can find comfort in realising that your pain is alike to many others, despite the fact you may not believe so. love everyone, and live for those you love (if you dont like other people, then give care and love to yourself).
This song helps when you feel you're whole world is going to fall apart. No reason, no explanation: just the feeling of not being where you're supposed to be, doing what you're supposed to do. Not knowing the answers to questions you cannot even come up with. The start is desperate, the ending is stimulating, like a mantra: it helps you level with yourself. I'm not making sense, am I? But then again, neither is the human mind.

there is a place that still remains...
hope so
a place that still (timeless) remains...

and watch this it breaks free all the memories i have had locked up..
No words. Reminds me of a dark place I do my best to avoid.

100% agree. Identifiable. Relatable. It is a mirror. We see ourselves reflected in his Music.
Happy music is not just fake music. There are different emotions you can put into your music, it's real if you put your soul in it.
Some of us feel more comfortable in the not so sunshine lollipops feel. Trent Reznor is a comfortable place to be ok with that. That aside he is an amazing musician as are the people who have worked with him through out the years. Truly magic.

It’s been an honor to be alive during nin existence. Every album released perfectly fit to what was going on in my life and even today as I’m older and they are older I still feel connected to his music no matter what.

You're right. It's just a tragedy that these days all he seems to care about is dressing like Bono and selling overpriced collector vinyl.

So sorry about your mother.
stop guys I'm crying already
Listened to this song a lot while my dad was dealing with liver cancer from his long abuse of alcohol. It was a short battle and he passed away in the middle of the night. This song perfectly matches the feeling deep down that him and I will never be able to mend our relationship. Just thought I'd share some emotions
The first time I listened to this song I was strugling with pancreatic cancer myself, I called my gf at that time to tell her about this beautiful song but she didn't answer, she was pregnant and was being taken to the hospital for a problem in her cervix. She had an abortion that day. After my parents died of old age, without the opportunity to have a grandson/daughter, I listened to this song for answers, over and over. Then I died of cancer, but fortunately, we got wifi here in hell so I can tell my story. Trent used to say, if there is a hell, I'll see you there, so I'm here, waiting patiently for him.
When just a song becomes so powerfull, and inmortalizes those powerfull moments. That's just unexplainable
I jammed this constantly during my dads short 3 week battle with cancer. It was too late by the time they caught it and he was in too much pain so he was drugged up those last 3 weeks of his life. My father and I were always at odds with eachother and the worse part was there was so much I wanted to say but was afraid to and he could hardly say anything anyway so I just stayed hiding in my room until he passed.
Say it now. ❤️❤️
He wrote this when his Grandmother died.
the one that raised him?
His Grandmother Clara.

This song restores me.

+Noah Benzing a sad song that makes me full of energy again in a bad day, it also restores me.

I'd listen to the words he'd say
but in his voice I heard decay
the plastic face forced to portray
all the insides left cold and gray
there is a place that still remains
it eats the fear it eats the pain
the sweetest price he'll have to pay
the day the whole world went away
+ART shadow MAKE UP Thank you, Queen Marjorie.
...what does it mean... Do you think?
Cody Osborn The lyrics are saying that "the whole world went away" when Jesus died and Christianity was born. A derogatory message against Christianity. "The plastic face forced to portray" is the Crucifix. "The insides left cold and gray" means he doesn't believe Jesus was Christ, God's son or anything more than any other person on Earth and He didn't resurrect after crucifixion because His insides and organs died, just like everyone else. I'm a Christian, so I'm not saying this because I believe it.
Raining BlackAndBlue Wow, that's powerful. Thanks for the explanation
that's one way, i guess.
there's other ways. See songmeanings.com/songs/view/18604/
Im not a fan of life at the current moment…
Yeah - me too! Stay Strong!
I want this played at my funeral.
+Phil Krzycki right?
It's so beautiful, somber, and soothing all at the same time.

I have ears.
Mine was never opioids or opiates mine was crack cocaine 17 years took thousands and thousands of dollars away from myself and I know what you mean 2 years 2 months sober today
This is the only song I found in all these years that gives me a little of each feeling. Not the typical sad song that makes you cry, no the best song that gives you nostalgia, not the perfect song that makes you feel joy. It's just a song that gives you a piece of everything, like life is. Is the song of the past, is a song for the present, and for what is yet to come.
Yeah, they’re pretty smart with this RocknRoll stuff. Lots of metaphorical stuff I’ve geeked on since my early teens. Like, how tf did you know?🧐
Pretty sure that what he meant it as plus trying to also say how bad we fucked this planet helps
I am listening to this while writing a script. Your words captured the essence of this song perfectly.
The day my whole world went away was .09.14.16, when my son died from cardiomyopathy 2 days after turning 19.
I grew up listening to N.I.N.
I played it for him when he was in my tummy.....
Trent was his obsession.
R.I.P. D.W.E.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry
@@brostoevsky8481 thank you so much. 🤗
نفسو بالسما.
It’s something we say here in Lebanon, it goes something like “he’s in heaven”.
May he rest in peace.
@@Danny-wv8ec thank you. 💙
This is the best version. Or maybe I just say that because the piano.. I reeaally like piano.
This is one the songs I can see myself listening anytime anywhere in the world... at a funeral, in a train, at night in bed, during end of the world, a distant old memory.
I like how Trent can make sad songs sound so hopeful and uplifting. Listening to them only makes me feel good.
IrishDutchman alchemy. Solve et coagula 😈
Catharsis.
3:38 these piano notes kill me all the time
same
Yes
God same. He is amazing with simple piano melodies.
I love how Trent is the only artist that writes exclusively about inner struggle. No artist comes close in my opinion.
Plenty of artists rap about inner struggle .. It's not an uncommon thing
Cory Meece not as deep or as well as trent reznor. and reznor uses metaphor that everyone can relate to. rappers are so direct and specific and they lack a lot of metaphor that it's hard to relate to their stuff unless you're an angry black guy living in a similar situation.
Cory Meece Unfortunately rap lacks musical nuance... not that beats aren't sick, they just don't reflect the emotional spectrum required to make an all-consuming song.
ZombieDeathRace Then you have to listen to Gopher Guts, Daylight or Fumes from Aesop Rock.
Pete Agassi I agree with you. I can relate to his music in so many ways. I can feel what he is saying. Helps me get through hard times.
Whatever it is. Don't let it Win.
chacha leo I give up
Still fighting....
Aye
Thanks man
Im trying...
Honestly I like to Die now and visit God
Denied mfr
Denied!!! Lemmy is GOD!!! Stay and Fight the Fight ❤ GOD Hates a Coward 🙏
I know the feeling! Just Stay Strong!
Probably one of the best/saddest/most beautiful songs of all time. Period
Yes, probably.
There is no public statement from Trent on what this song means as far as i can tell. It could and probably is about Popsicles and his hatred of them. I'm pretty sure that's it.
Still is just a masterpiece.
Lady C nin girls are a masterpiece
In Egyptian mythology they would weigh your heart on a scale against a feather. If your heart (or sins) were greater than the weight of the feather Sobek would eat the heart and your soul would be cast into the underworld. This video reminds me of that with the scale, the feather, and the general feeling. Anyway, love this song.
The world change for the worst in the 60s and 90s
And Now!
This song makes depression sound audible.
For my grandma. You were the light in my life.
TDTWWA was 09.14.16.
The day my son died from cardiomyopathy. 19 years 2 days old. Trent was his Perfect Drug.
Sorry for your loss!

My dog passed away from complications after surgery..he's the 10% that wasnt gonna fully recover...put him to sleep..today..looked him in the eyes and whispered to him as he fell...
The beauty of this version of this song is beyond me.
The Bear. The fuckin' Bear.
Trent makes a single note echo in your soul,and haunt.
393 people had so many tears in their eyes that they missed the thumbs up button .......
Love the use of this in The Bear!
I immediately recognized the song being a long time fan.. But even though it already had very emotional meaning to me... Hearing it during the end of the person of interest episode.. it even gave me more chills. I will miss Root. Thanks Trent for your epic music!
Right on bro... You read my mind
MickAri B Once I saw the title of the episode, I knew this song would play, and I knew it was going to be a doozy. I'm pretty mad that I wasn't wrong. That scene with this song and the overall plot line of that show, was the perfect mixture. Easily one of my favorite moments of any form of media.
Great artist, great show, great character.
One of my Fucking ALL TIMEEEE favorite NIN songs and they used is the Bear?!?!! Whatttt
The music supervisor on this show is unreal. Sufjan, Radiohead, and Nine inch Nails all used in season 2.
YESSS absolute genius
I've lost my best friend of 25 years last month. There's no replacement. I've lost people but... we came up together. I'm trying to get better.
I would love to sit on a hill top and just watch everything burn & sink to it's demise.
I would like that too.
jasonkingj69 frfr 💯
Me too
My God did you feel that your life just flushed before your ears
I like his music more now then i did years ago that dont seem that long ago theres truth to it i feel
Terminator salvation trailer music brought me here
this version sounds way sadder than the original imho
I knew this song (and NIN) from the trailer for Terminator Salvation back in 2009, but I heard this version for the first time in The Bear S2. Amazing piece, every version fits on a different mood and hits perfectly
I feel like I relate to most of his songs. The struggle is real. Mine being anxiety and depression caused by panic disorder. Yet when I go through it, I find myself comforted by Trent and his music. The unique sound and style combined with the powerful lyrics are something we can all feel in our bones.
Same here bro...I know the struggle is real but there is always a way.Stay strong champ!
@Alex B. M. oh the troll generation and the need to mock people who put there selves out there. You lack of empathy astounds me
same bro, his music always makes me calm whenever i start stressed out. its just like a cure for me..
Trent has always had a song for me, this being one of my favorites. It somehow brings tranquility and peace even when dealing with things that makes everyday so challenging. Family issues are so much harder around the holidays. This is why I wish away this part of the year...no one can love or get along...
You can be spiritual without being religious.
Justin Head yes! Exactly my current thought.
Justin Head very much so in manners of spiritual not of this world like religiousual of this world
Both are stupid though
Pretty sure Trent is both these days. He’s spoken in a few interviews about being “saved” shorty after his recovery.
It's the other way big guy
west worldddd lets fucking gooooo
Can’t get your own taste in music ?
One of the best musicians of his generation, the piano fills the void and paints the perfect contrast between low and high pitches and tones, masterpiece
Rest in peace my sister. Hopefully we'll meet again one day.
One of the only NIN songs that end with hope
:)))))))))
~NMB
I was there when it came out. The web site was great back than.
I’ve luved Trent since the 80’s whether it’s the “darkest moments” or just LIFE in general. He definitely feels or understands the “hurt” many of us know.
My addict friend just killed herself, today. I am sad.
Sorry for your loss!
Pain
I know!
if you shed enough skin, muscle, nerve and bone, will you look behind at what you were, or will you be looked at by what you've lost?

Who wrote what you just said..... it's beautiful
@@wadesdead I did.
@@hypocritespun7971 help. I can't see my way out.
i love the weight of the jewels and the dirt ..dirt wins ...then the feather symbolic of the soul floating to heaven
curling up in a ball crying, this song ringing through my mind like the white noise that some parts of life give you. everything seems so fragile and delicate when i hear this song, like your entire life is leading up to one moment of final pain. to all of you out there that feel the same way when you hear this song, i hope that you all can find comfort in realising that your pain is alike to many others, despite the fact you may not believe so. love everyone, and live for those you love (if you dont like other people, then give care and love to yourself).
This song helps when you feel you're whole world is going to fall apart. No reason, no explanation: just the feeling of not being where you're supposed to be, doing what you're supposed to do. Not knowing the answers to questions you cannot even come up with. The start is desperate, the ending is stimulating, like a mantra: it helps you level with yourself.
I'm not making sense, am I? But then again, neither is the human mind.
I feel ya ❤
Love
Sunny summer, 20 years old, headphones, NIN in full blast, shirtless, skating all day long and getting injured. 20 years ago...
When i die...
Bury me with this song and NIN discography in cascet.
Dont know where I'd be without music
@trenton moore
Same here
This track puts me at peace.
No other artist can compare to him in my opinion.
