Nine Inch Nails
- good so it hurts
Whenever you feel sad and down, but the tears doesn't want to start falling - let your speakers present to you - a voice so filled with pain it actually hurts.
People who saw Trent Raznor live, sitting down and singing "Something I can never have" and "Hurt" get tears in their eyes, even when being happy... It's years and years of misery in both the voice and the words.
I'll give you some samples from both of the songs:
"I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing thats real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything"
The beginning of Hurt which you can find on The Downward spiral album from 1994.
"I still recall the taste of your tears
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
Scraping through my head till I dont want to sleep anymore
Come on tell me
You make this all go away
You make this all go awayI
m down to just one thing
And Im starting to scare myself
You make this all go way
You make this all go way
I just want something
I just want something I can never have
You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldnt do the things that I can do now
This thing is slowly taking me apart
Grey would be the color if I had a heart"
From the album Pretty Hate Machine from 1989.
Well, they guy knows what he is talking about... He has lived a hard life until just recently, when he quit the drugs. And then came With Teeth, in may this year - and he still knows how to do it!!! There is still magic,anger, so much feelings in his voice and in the songs. Nine Inch Nails should have appeared on the MTV award show, but weren't allowed, since they wished to have a poster of George W Bush as background for their... how to put this... not in the republicans eyes proper patriotic singing... one part of "The hand that feeds" goes like this:
"What if this whole crusade's a charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood on which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine "
If you haven't explored the world of Nine Inch Nails (NIN) and Trent Raznor yet, then it's time now. I dream I could express my feelings half as good.
So let's enjoy Trent and hope that he wont be silent with his band for many years to come!

Hola Ripper
I don't prefer Johnny Cash version, but maybe it comes from being Swedish, and not hearing him until I was a teenager. And since I was totally into Saxon and Motorhead at that time, I never took the opportunity to get aquainted with him...
