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.

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.

reminds me of my 7 year heroin addiction....Definitely the soundtrack to that day I had my first hit...5 years clean today

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 .

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.

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..

R.i.p the mother of my children, baby we miss you and will never stop loving you

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.

Trent Reznor is completely unique artist and hauntingly intelligent, groundbreaking in a way Pink Floyd was...genuine artistry.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

I like how Trent can make sad songs sound so hopeful and uplifting. Listening to them only makes me feel good.

Trent is the very definition of the tortured artist. Brilliant and beautiful

The darkness in me never stops growing.

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...

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.

I love how Trent is the only artist that writes exclusively about inner struggle. No artist comes close in my opinion.

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.

Rest in peace my sister. Hopefully we'll meet again one day.

and in the end dirt is heavier than your gold always

For my grandma. You were the light in my life.

I used to fall asleep listening to the "Still" album when I was in Iraq.

It's the year the whole world went away 2020

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 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.

Probably one of the best/saddest/most beautiful songs of all time. Period

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.

Anyone still here ?

This song restores me.

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 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.

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

This is John Conner. If your listening to this...you are the resistance...

The beauty of this version of this song is beyond me.

Still is just a masterpiece.

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

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.

Trent makes a single note echo in your soul,and haunt.

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...

Whatever it is. Don't let it Win.

393 people had so many tears in their eyes that they missed the thumbs up button .......

I was there when it came out. The web site was great back than.

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'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.

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.

One of the only NIN songs that end with hope

Sunny summer, 20 years old, headphones, NIN in full blast, shirtless, skating all day long and getting injured. 20 years ago...

i love the weight of the jewels and the dirt ..dirt wins ...then the feather symbolic of the soul floating to heaven

Love the use of this in The Bear!

The quality of the comments on this video is above average.

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

I hope trent made this not knowing how many people would die for his music

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!

I want this played at my funeral.

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).

My God did you feel that your life just flushed before your ears

The sweetest price we'll have to pay, the day the whole world goes away...

Born in 84 I grew up listening to nine inch nails and have all the respect for Trent a great artist and in the end this song is part of all of us and we all can relate to it is what brings us all together as brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers..

Dont know where I'd be without music

This is the best version. Or maybe I just say that because the piano.. I reeaally like piano.

This track puts me at peace.

3:38 these piano notes kill me all the time

"This place...can you get me out of it?" "You created me. I can do anything you want me to." *SLAMS GUITAR*

This song makes me think of my relationship I have with god and the depression I go threw everyday, the build up is the strength to carry threw to the next, Trent’s music has a pain that is easy to relate to

I would love to sit on a hill top and just watch everything burn & sink to it's demise.

The Bear. The fuckin' Bear.

How addiction feels literally one minute everything is fine you're social having fun then suddenly you look up and the funs stopped you're on your own and your world does go away replaced with chemical joys and living for the next fix constantly on and off thinking of it like it's the most important thing in your mind

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, all these years and I could never stop listening.

RIP Root ! You will live forever in the Machine !

Redemption starts at 2:27 most powerful movement my ears ever heard restored me before pulling the plug on this thing we call a beautiful life.

When i die... Bury me with this song and NIN discography in cascet.

What a year.

Most beautiful melody i ever heard. Something incredible.

I could always identify with nice inch nails music. When I was a teenager I was feeling what he was singing about.

Came here from Westworld and I'm so thankful for that! Love this masterpiece!🎉

"UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAHHHH" - Jesus trent, I'm all in a good mood and with good energy and I just have to stop to comment and appreciate the crazy amount of pressure from this man's mind in how he expresses his music. It feels like more than just music, as if it's a connection from another dimension and not just an onset of simple tones and overtones with frequencies aligning to create a recognizable pattern to illustrate a greater, deeper meaning. I'm happy right now, which is funny because this music is getting me so close to crying from the pain and the past, the realization that we as people, you me are still here; We are gifted with life and it is beautiful even in the sadness that I and many other people have experienced, that the best feeling (I don't value feelings too much as most of mine have been more negative than positive although I have felt amazing many times). At least in my case, I've always been an observer, that has been my greatest flaw and gift at the same time. Just like everyone else, questioning what actually matters to you. Anyways... I figure a lot of the things I type are in the moment sort of things, we are always growing. Expression is beautiful and Trent Reznor fucking nailed it. Like everytime, lol. *bows to him*

Questo brano mi fa volare verso un paradossale senso di malinconia riguardo ciò che si lascia e un senso di ottimismo inerente ciò a cui si va incontro... Bellissimo e introspettivo viaggio interiore! 👍

That's what makes it so perfect...It's poetic, beautiful, and bittersweet. Every moment of it moves inevitably closer to tragedy any way you look at it, and finally, the ultimate tragedy. Each precious second of our insignificant lives is spent simply trying to distract ourselves with some small happiness, to feel loved- a brief dream in a cruel and unforgiving world where in the end, happiness is the exception and no one survives.

Beautiful display of intelligent design in creation.

one of the best songs ever made( the still acoustic version)

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?

RIP Gramps. Love you buddy

The day my world went away was December 2nd, 2018 when my own Grandmother passed away, you can't talk about it, you have to go through it to experience how debilitating loss really is. This track is more of a mournful elegy that totally captures that personal loss. I thank you Trent and Nine Inch Nails for creating this and helping those who grieve. Rest in Peace, Grandma. You will never be forgotten by those who knew and loved you.

I probably started listening to NIN a little too early. Even then I was amazed by how intricate his music was and how he put emotions directly into music. Gave me chills then, gives me chills now. This is and always will be true music. No matter what Trent does be it happy or otherwise, I'll listen to it a love it.

this song is perfection...brings me back

I would hope with seven minutes left on my death bed I could listen to this on my way out. I've always felt this was a goodbye.

This remix reminds me of my first steps into Reznors music masterpieces. I love "TDTWWA" and when I've heard this remix for the first time, I was rapt by the music he composed. It sounds silly, but Trent Reznor is my greatest music heroes of all time. It's because of him I started to LISTEN and to FEEL the music. So much beauty inside such a simple sounds. I hope someday I'll have opportunity to thank him for everything, because his music was accompanied me in every moment of my adult life.

This reminds me of Gramps when he and Granny first visited me on May of 2017. Gramps had only three months left to live. His death was at August 15th, 2017. Rest in peace, old timer. Me and Granny will never forget you.

i wish people would understand his lyrics, what he was doing... its MAGNIFICENT. the sweetest price you have to pay indeed.

This song makes depression sound audible.

In a moment everything is gone. Try hard to be nice. It's hard when you make it that way. Some day the whole world will go on without us. Nin and tool are two of the best shows I've had the pleasure of seeing.

Trent Reznor's Imagination is " Just Like you Imagine "...Brilliant.!!!

Beautiful imagery to accompany this powerful music. Thank you!

I like his music more now then i did years ago that dont seem that long ago theres truth to it i feel

This is my favourite version. This and the solo from To Live is to Die immediately take me to my memories of my parents who have since passed. The music...the music.

In a way it means more than the album version, it gets to the bit where you want to break out and scream with anger, but it never takes off like that, you are just left with... numbness. This is how it feels when you loose a loved one, you want to shout at the world for what's happened, but there's nothing there, but an uneasy mix of numbness and acceptance. It's the day the world went away, and that is all that's left... numbness.

This song never grows old. I always get the emotion in it.. it's just raw on a plate no frills, just it is what it is...and I like it :)
