MC MLee I agree!

Me too!

Oh yeah!

yes indeed

Isn't it a sample from eurymythics or one of those 80s electro bands?

@ɮօʊռċɛ օʄʄ it's about self-hatred and obsession, TR mentioned, I think. Of course, drugs and sex can relate to these topics, but they're not what the song is about, exclusively.

But Sex was invented since human life...

@@rblxmac jokes tho...

lol

When was sex invented? 1994. People before 1994:

A lot of FCC complaints

America, freedom of speech but not if a few Christian moms are offended

@@tsfbaf303 considering last years halftime show, they have been offended already, what's one more year?

hell yes...but Reznor is too smart to be lowered too that level of entertainment...nfl is lame

I fucking wish

Lmao

oh, a comment written before people knew about the loop option

LOLOLOLOL

so true

Absolutely!!

try the woodstock version . definitely better in energy and mixing

The guitar inclusion between verses elevates this song so much

Woodstock is even better.

Underrated?!?! Where have you been? Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum (2020) Grammy Award (1995) Grammy Award (1992) Notable Works: “Broken” “Ghosts I-IV” “Pretty Hate Machine” “The Downward Spiral” “The Fragile” “With Teeth” “Year Zero”. In collaboration with Atticus Ross, Reznor also began to compose for motion pictures. Their music for The Social Network (2010) won the Academy Award for best original score, and their work on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) was honoured with a Grammy. Their score for Gone Girl (2015) was also nominated for a Grammy. The pair later provided the music for the climate-change documentary Before the Flood and the thriller Patriots Day (both 2016) as well as for the 2017 Ken Burns documentary series The Vietnam War. For the animated film Soul (2020), Reznor and Ross collaborated with Jon Batiste on the score, which won an Oscar.

@@jenlambert1259 still underrated

@@milotherussianblue3691 😂 Ok.

Sorry who underrates him?

@@ScareglowSkull anyone born in 1990 onwards LOL

I've seen it live later, but I want an experience like this.

I think the song sounds so much better with big Trent's (IDK how else to describe it lol) deeper register

Fvcking LVCIFER

Aaron North absolutely killed it when he was touring with them, insane talent.

@@nickthompson9851 but then after his time on NIN he stopped playing and he isnt anymore involved in the music business! After NIN he suffered mental breakdowns

It’s the synth line from the song “The Only Time” from Pretty Hate Machine.

💕💕💕💕💕💕

🤣🤣🤣 ... *gasp* BA hahahahahaha

@@leslieswiman7297 Well, that’s not really the case in this sense. The album is about his downward spiral. Hence the name “The Downward Spiral” and the entire album is about his self hate and him using her as an escape, and using her body to control himself. The line: “You get me closer to god” is literal, in the sense that he is suicidal and him using her just gets him closer to killing himself. It’s nothing about love, it’s about hatred, and shame, and all the bad things about himself.

Dirty in a good way though.

Pp

But like, it helps you embrace it. Or at least me

Speak for yourself, the elite fucks us like animals, that is what it is all about

It's musical perfection

Coolguy33 hell yeah! Rad as hell 😁

i agree in every word you say

You're pathetic

Dude same. I started listening to NIN in early 2018 and i can't believe how i didn't heard of this band before. They are actually my favorite band but also The Downward Spiral is my favorite album of all time.

@@CrickeyNyan Dopplegänger, is that you? Well.. I found them in 2017 but still..

Wait until you hear what he put out after TDS. The Fragile is a God damned masterpeice.

its about obsession with someone and self hate but yes 😂

@@christianb1707 what is the wendigoon guy doing here? lol you have good taste

@@sneakerstring thanks 🤣

Ditto.

I got to see this tour live and I think the whole crowd had an orgasm.

That would be really cool. A NIN/Rammstein show. I wonder who would open for who.

JohnACorp782 There are many people who are better than him only in technique. But no staging guitarist like him.

I would say post ghosts is wrong but I'm also a diehard fan for life lol

@@nataliealtemose9191 I would say post Ghosts VI maybe, only because they haven’t done much :P

Fucking chill-inducing

Bro fucking laid into the keyboard🤣🤣

That lil only time bit!! Very cute

The arrangement persists to this day too :D

are you still alive and well

I think that this part of the song is the closest I will get to doing coke

Whoever decision it was to interpolate The Only Time in place of the original break basically reinvented the song for the better! This arrangement still persists to this day!

it sounds so good in this song, but isnt it the synth from the only time?

@@bellamuertes yes

@@bellamuertes it is, but its a similar synth to the Down In It, so its easy to get confused lol

Down in it was fantastic though

They are touring. I just saw them at red rocks for their opening shows.

no shit, just figuring that out. Little strange I might add. But at least he's honest.

Reznor he said he wrote it about suicide. who knows what it's about

I always viewed it as more of a serial killer thing. Ripping someone apart as a way of escaping the cruelty of the outside world.

The Downward Sprial is a concept album about a man who kills God and pays with misery, suffering and death. Closer is the point in the album where he realizes something terrible is happening.

+big guy Really? I thought the song was about cake. I'm not really good at analyzing stuff so you're probably right

Lisa Anneliese Theron keyboardist lol 😂

The god of fuck possessed him

Darkknight Insomniac That’s the correct word

+luigiman09 because of that every performance of Closer from With Teeth on forward has been dubbed "Closer/The Only Time"

Because they didn't censor it

It's a good choice to mix in for sure. In a way it's about the same thing.

Last time I saw them live the put in Sunspots, was amazing

nic15 Probably a good thing

I’d say it’s the best version period

This is an incredible live version but I just saw them at red rocks on opining nights of the tour and they are incredible to this day for sure.

Pesco77 yes
