IAMX - The Background Noise 

I'm a grown man, 37 years old. I'm a truck driver. This song has me bursting into tears so hard I had to pull over. At my age? Music moving me to tears!

Probably my most favorite track on the album. So damn meaningful and powerful, and so freaking dark. There's an underlying meaning and I feel like I can feel it but can't quite define it yet. The artist probably meant for it to be that way, to be ambiguous so that anyone can relate and put their own meaning for whatever's keeping them up at night, despite all the apparent perfection of their lives, or let's say, despite how perfect their lives may seem.

Iamx is so under appreciated ;-;

Favourite track from the album.

I always have goosebumps while listening to this song. Nothing has changed for many years

underlying melancholia doesnt stop for anything

IAMX always make me see how melancholic I can get... and cry

Love this one. Such a haunting truth.

I love this song more and more each play!

I still love IAMX, just been dealing with some hard times right now❤

apart from the sorrowful beats & the subtle content, Chris articulates in a fantastic way...his articulation empowers every line with great emotion.

I resonate over this song. When I was 16 I remember laying in bed, the first night back in my own home since we had a series of unfortunate events, one being a house fire. Things had finally sorted out, we got compensated and replaced everything, I have doing good in school, my relationship at the time was great, my reaction with my step dad was great, I was making stable money through small jobs everything was perfect I had NO reason to be sad. But I felt this sick feeling I'm now very familiar with, it felt like a gnawing feeling in my stomach and I felt overwhelmingly sad and my thoughts were racing, I kept thinking really morbid things for no reason, (I experienced alot of death that year losing loved ones and health issues with others) I started having compulsive thoughts an ditch scared me. I remember this alien feeling and telling my parents but they got mad at me and said I was just being dramatic since it was the first day back in the house and everything would be going back to normal. Well... months later I'm in therapy and was diagnosed with a slew of medical conditions that had been apparently ignored since I was a kid, my parents always thought I was just "different", my doctor even said as a kid "her brain hadn't meshed yet" I had a lot of autism symptoms but it was revealed I had borderline personality disorder. With that came ocd, adhd, panic disorder, depression. That day was when a majority of my life changed and I'm now 22 and still deal with these feelings despite mental help and therapy. This song reminds me of the depression I felt, the racing thoughts, despite everything had been going so good. That day, was the day that was chosen for me to start experiencing all my issues all at once and it was explained later why it happened at that time and I understand everything now. It's still upsetting but.. I'm glad this song is able to allow others to share their own issues and mental health problems.

wouldnt it be a dream to be this simple?

Good heavens, thanks to how to get away with murder, i discovered this awesome band. Guess it's not too late to be a fan. From Philippines.

du bist so ein Lichtwesen und nicht von dieser Welt.deine Themen sind magisch und Geheimnis umwidert.

Favorite song off the album. Sums up how I've been feeling about everything and everyone. This is absolutely beautiful.

Hauntingly Beautiful & Absolutely Brilliant like every IAMX creation

So hauntingly beautiful ✨

Dude ive been searching for this for years 😭

Chris you are genious ! 👏

Forever my favorite from this album ❤

Pretty sure this song will make it to one of the How to get away with murder episodes.

"But something" ... so strong as burning... the Great Power of your Inner Flame! That most Authentic to Preserve,... this Inner REBEL Voice of a Healthy Instinct, ... Vigilant, always Questioning and sets its own terms in the "game of alienation"... 💗IAMX..this clarity and passion filled voice of Chris!!

oh my god this was so underrated

The best artist ever !

This song has gives vibes similar to Haruki Murakami's "South of the border, west of the sun", and I love it

Love that track, very loud :)

Great "mistake" to come across. Love the sound, really reminds me of VNV Nation.

L'Estasi Dell'IAMX

good noise)))

Love this track so frickin much. Racking my brain trying to fathom another track (non-IAMX) that I'm sure shared the bassline that comes in at 0:17 - any ideas?

need to be an opening theme for "Druk/Another round"

play this in Brno please!

ThatUmbrellaGuy was right, this is a really good song.

Can I please use this for a video plz respond I realy like this and I need it for a video

What is the choir singing in 00:14?

❤️🎧🎶

Where did that music video of the 4 movies - Black Swan, Devil's Advocate, The Professional and Requiem Dream and i think History X... That is the most badass video ever and it's to this song! If they made you pull it send it to me. I keep searching .. its gone. Hit me up on here! Whoever made it you rock!

Somehow this gives me a Dr. Jekly and Mr. Hyde vibes.

что же он слышит? крутая песня

ripped off Chris dark soul. i love it way too much ...

It's giving me Stranger Things vibes

HMMMM

Ment puppets not poop it's.

Schizein...

I just hear here some pop shit, for sure not background noise?! This sucks.

Pretty sure this song will make it to one of the How to get away with murder episodes.
