Trent Reznor - Hurt (Unplugged) 

ya cuz it wasnt india. if the crowd had atleast one indian the whole performance would be whacked

dont you think that's a little racist

@@Jay-pf3dq ignore tards man

Anosh Aibara racist fuck

Yeah, everyone's "hurt" listening to hurt by trent.

Never thought of it that way and it's the most accurate representation I've seen

considering TDS protagonist literally shoots himself the first description isn’t too accurate. I honestly think the 2nd fits for both. One is a suicidal man who sees no more value in living after all the things he’s done and tried, while the other is an old man saying goodbye

I don’t know much about the album it’s from, but based just on the song itself, I’d say the original is more like “I don’t believe I can change.”

Perfect

Spot on

That off key note gets me everytime Trent can make imperfection perfect~

I was listening to this when I was like 9 and had to turn it off because that note physically irked me every time. Now I live it.

The song tells a story of something going wrong, very wrong.

Yeah the dissonance in the chords in the beginning. I love it

Not off key in the song, actually! What you're hearing is called "dissonance," and while it may sound off key because of the tension that it creates, rest assured, we are still well within our tonal center! If you listen closely, it's actually carried throughout the intro + verses. Dissonance like that adds a wonderfully surreal, dissociative, intriguing texture. The "tension" of dissonant chords really does impart a sense of pulling, as the term would imply. It's like the note is trying to pull away from the rest of the song, but the elastic mesh of the other notes gently guides it back in line where it settles. That F on top of the B is tonally unstable, creates tension, and that makes you want to hear it release that tension by moving on to a stable chord. Although in this case, given that it's at the end of the measure and song, it's meant to make you feel uneasy, unresolved, conflicted... as is the case of this pain Trent is describing. Interestingly though, as the dissonant blooms, it actually does feel quite resolved and satisfying. My brain was like "wait wtf why did he end on th-... oh. ohhhhhh. I like this. this is nice." Also side note that will probably be longer than my main response lol: Super interesting that you interpreted Hurt as a "declaration of being better." I'd be interested to hear why, as I thought of it as the exact opposite: someone at the end of their life coming to terms with your failures, relinquishing the fight with their inner demons; accepting that those demons have won, and now just reflecting on what their life has been. Sitting in an empty, moldy house that has become condemned not from one massive tragedy, but from a lifetime of gradual decay; having a deep desire to fix it, but knowing so certainly that they will not change. They will not fix it, and they're ok with that. The isolated line "if I could start again, a million miles away, I would keep myself, I would find a way" seems like he's hopeful to be better, but, the key word is "if." However, context changes that. Given how direct he is with his thoughts - yelling "I will let you down. I will make you hurt" - I believe the "if" is used very specifically, rather than saying "I WILL start again... I WILL find a way." Instead, it's "if" and "would," meaning he's just thinking about a "what if," not planning on any change. So not a declaration of being better, IMO. No right answers though, and that's what makes music cool! Even in the lyrics seem to describe one scenario more directly, our personal interpretation of the tone can hold just as much worth... There's that whole thing of "90% of communication is non-verbal," and similarly, the same seems to apply with music: the meaning we derive from it is largely based off tone and textures, rather than what is explicitly said. Tl;dr: Dissonant notes seem off key, but are not. Dissonance creates tension, imparting a sense of unrest, pain, a desire to resolve to a "nicer," more sonorous chord. When that resolution does not come, we are left with what you described: failure, a lack of resolution. This turned into an essay lmao

Love the score in that movie, very atomspheric. And which album of NIN’s music do you think is the darkest and most beautiful?

@@theroamer2355 The Downward Spiral. Self-destruction led path to Trents documented suicidal mind set at that time in his life is why, in my opinion of course, I think it's dark but beautiful because he won that battle.

@@deew187 yeah that album has always seemed pretty moody, but like you said…. Beautiful.

Don't forget The Social Network. Most creative and beautiful film score I've ever heard.

Trent credits Bowie with saving his life, as do millions of others. The power of Bowie has no boundaries

Yeah your right, because it's so fucking genuine.

Pathos is a powerful tool

No all I can hear is the static it's annoying af and it nearly ruins the song lmfao

that's stress notes for ya

This song is about his heroine addiction he had and since overcome this is what he felt like being a heroine addict.

It's not Trents' version it's Trents' fricken song!! fml

@@justinmorgan2126 but it isn’t nearly as good as johnny’s version

@@bymafia2606 Trents Is so much better

They’re both amazing in their own right, his the soul differently. One is about pain and struggling, and trying to climb out of a personal hell, the other is about looking back on life with some regret and wondering if they were good enough where it mattered….as a husband, father, son, etc.?

Two very different stories with the same song. Incredible. On both their parts. Rips me apart

@@SantyOrtegaBanegas Thanks man, always appreciated!!

+Devashish Mishra For sure. It nails home the one of the worst parts of depression. How it effects the people you care about. That you feel like a burden, and occasionally push people away. Side note. I like how here he goes with the Cash version of the lyric. "I wear this crown of thorns" is a better line than "crown of shit."

That was done for censorship, not cause cash's version. Crown of thorns is kinda an obvious goto anyhow.

Yeah, since it was on TV 'n' all. Still, I feel "crown of thorns" is darker and more cynical. Obvious, sure. But I think it hits more. It seems to say "All this admiration heaped on me is undeserved. I am a fraud." Where as "crown of shit" just sounds like it's trying too hard to be dark and edgy. Like high school goth poetry,

id say its second the ending lines from and all that could have been, another one of trents songs "please. take this, and run far away. as far as you can see. I am tainted. and happiness and peace of mind were never meant for me. All these pieces, and promises, and left-behinds, if only i could see: In my nothing you were everything, everything to me."

It was also being broadcast live on TV so he would've had to censor himself anyway. He probably decided the "crown of thorns" line would be better than "crown of ----" since he wouldn't be able to say it anyway.

@D B it’s an e7 suspended followed by a B major #4 suspended. Since the song is in a B minor key, that transition sounds off putting, which was the intention.

U found the words i wasn't able to find tank you :)

Music theory is not a set of laws, it's more of a systematization or classification. None of the chords can be wrong in any context, it can be atypical, unusual, but it just brings different, its own unique color Sorry for possible mistakes in my English :P

Love that chord! Absolutely perfect!

Only a musician will get this...

That's one of the best interpretations I've ever read.

@@notnowjohn1348 'carry you home' by James Blunt is the saddest I've heard the decade or so. "true love waits' by radiohead is about as sad as it get for my genres. And both of those songs have lyrics that will haunt you. And I am not a lyrics person at all Jealous guy by John lennon springs to mind. Yesteray by mccartney. Theres also the argument of what is "sad" and what is more just depressing and bleak. Perfect day by lou reed has a huge undertone of detached indifferent in the verses and then, orgasmic chorus, just like jealous guy. Listen to lou Reed sing that live if you want to hear convincing "pain" sorry, just one more thing: I'm always arguing with people who prefer J Cash's cover of this *to the extent of immediately not even considering the orginal* What I love about this one is the piano/keyboard. it is so effective that it could never be repeated with guitars. But one criticism I have of t reznor' is that his singing is not as sincere as a lot of other sad songs, I love the way he begins to sing the "and you could have it all" parts, but I think the sort of whimpering/squeaky yodel inflection think he adds at the end of each line was a bad idea if this song really does still have an excruciating attachment to him. i do still love this song but I think trent reznor is maybe a little too unsure singing-wise of his feelings/the balance between truth and professionalism . There's 1 or 2 live videos of mccartney(not all of them!) singing 'here today' that are the epitome of courage. Mike Tyson (yes the boxer ha) is also a beautiful example of fearlessly wearing your heart of your sleeve

@@notnowjohn1348 I really don't think she was implying no one else has ever expressed "pain" in their music. We are watching Trent Reznor. She is stating that in this song, Reznor... in this context, is expressing his pain, that we are hearing...in this song...in this video...Yes, he is. We can hear in his voice, choice of arrangement and see it in his face. A truth of him is being shared with us in this moment. Everyone alive has a song/singer/band that has the saddest/painful song they've heard (Adele seems to be made of sadness and pain). But we are talking about this song and performance by Trent.

He is like another Mozart

yes.

he is a classically trained pianist. Trent Reznor is a genius.

Taylor Bivens don't get me wrong I like this song but I believe that johnny cash did a cover much better than this

You do realise this is a NIN song and not a cover?

Addict here too, the struggle is real, stay strong

You got this 👍

That's why music is so great. For the musician, it's an outlet and a way to express feelings. For the listener, it's something to relate to and know that you're not the only person having those feelings. Music is always there, and has helped me through some rough times - just knowing that I wasn't alone.

Have you listened to lateralus yet?

I lost three of my sisters to murder over two decades ago. The person I was dating recently lost her sister (about three years prior to us dating). We were on a walk one day and I said "I hate so much that you know the pain of the loss of a sibling....but" and she finished my sentence and said "you're happy you know someone else does" and it always has stuck with me

As a person who has dealt with panic attacks for the better part of 30 years, you are not alone my friend. Songs like this ironically pull us together. Keep on keeping on my friend. What if tomorrow could actually be better than today without the anxiety? Wouldn't that be great? Hope.

I care. I’ve sat in the Dungeon when he was there and I felt that way. I approached him just once to tell him how much I loved his music, and he was all messed up, but he was kind enough to say thanks. I saw him a few times after that but I never approached him again. If you’re from NOLA and went out your chances of running into him were pretty good. At least In the circles I ran in back then.

@@wobblayed558 was that like the main goth club there or something? If I were Trent I would be scared to be anywhere near anything like that. Just straight to IHOP, maybe stroll by the library and home for me. If I so much as see anyone in black I’d hop on my bike and peddle for dear life.

@@sibbyeskie more goth kids at IHOP milking coffee refills for hours, or at least that was the way it was during the days of Further Down the Spiral.

Trent says he prefers Johnny's version to his own.

Hey, that happens. Even the Beegees tipped their hat and said their song " How can you mend a broken heart " was much more beautifully performed by Al Green. I think all versions are beautiful and if Trent respect's Johnny Cash's reendition of Hurt, then hey. Just shows how much respect he has for Johnny.

I generally only like covers that are better in some way, or interesting reinterpretations of the song. Not only is the cash version a different perspective of the song, but hard to imagine, it is even sadder and darker than the original.

+John Michael this version? it is his song, period.

I like this live version better though.

I couldn't describe it better, that's exactly what this song is.

Aliko Ya go for it man! I only have 2 requests, the first is that if and when u finish the lyrics u send me the lyrics and/or the song so I can see what it became. The second is that if somehow it gets big that u give me a little shoutout somewhere. Good luck!

Jonah Melo if I may, I'd like to see the lyrics too, when finished. That comment is one of the most accurate things I've read in a while.

Best you can 'choose' is sorrow, for sure.

J Melo All narcissism aside...the older I get, the more shit decisions I make, and the more successes I have...the more I find this song poignantly relatable. It just hits the spot. It produces a contented depression that somehow brings me great peace. Perhaps this contrasting paradoxical feeling is due to the ability I have to be brutally honest with myself? I don't know, but that's how it makes me feel and the older I get, the more it seems to intensify.

Raw. Vulnerable. Beloved.

I became addicted to heroin at the age of 13, now I'm 39. Since 10 years in substitution, and living a 'normal' life. But I'm struggling with depression, and sometimes, when everything seems senseless, the voice of addiction returns. I know what Trent meant while he wrote this song, it's about desperation and the feeling to be a disappointment for everybody. I'm sure not many people can really understand, what that means. Sorry for my English, I'm a german girl from Berlin.

Stay well.

I was thinking the same thing with the "crown of thorns" line. Love that they can inspire each other in both directions like that.

I completely agree - this is one song where i like both the original and the cover equally even though they are so different - because they are sung with sincerity and feeling

Never got cash's version. Sounds like a pub singer.

Agreed. Except a live performance of this song is unmatchable.

He most probably had to do that due him performing on network TV.

No. You're not alone

I suppose the vocals can be felt more with this, as well as the fact he isn't restricted by the beat of other instruments - the piano can be played with emphasis wherever he needs it rather than when best fitting everyone else.

Nah

I don't think I could live without this song. It's on my permanent playlist. I can't think of any other song that expresses the essence and feeling of this hurt more than this one. It means different things to all of us. Some focus more on the addiction quality of it, others the loss of the happiness they sought in their lives, knowing now that it's not coming back...for others...something else. In a popular culture, where we're told to ignore all negative feelings and the pain and hurt that's happening inside us, this song is pure catharsis. Even if my hurt and loneliness never subside, I know that other humans do feel it. It makes me feel less lonely even though I'll likely be alone for the rest of my life.

People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create." Chuck

@@trumphatesyou Directly below this comment of yours is one that says, "another one of those terrific songs that speak to the souls of some of us".

And if it does that for me, and obviously for you, then it definitely does for others. Thanks for sharing it. 🤍

I'll let you in on a big secret - a large part of it comes from the same place every other talent comes - hard work, practise and making a lot of mistakes. Yes, like any art you need a certain sensitivity to the subject matter, and with music you often need to be in the right place mentally to pick up on the inspiration and set it down before it's forgotten. The source of melodies can be anything from waking up with a certain melody in your head to just improvising and noodling on a keyboard or guitar until something you like comes up. However, you also need to work at it like anything else. Trent studied music theory, learnt to play a large number of instruments serviceably well, and no doubt spends a lot of time simply working on and working over song ideas to come up with the finished product. I also guarantee that in his early days he wrote a lot of awful, corny stuff that never got past his garage/bedroom and closest friends! I'm privileged to have heard a few talented musicians early efforts and the fact is - you have to start somewhere!

We all have gifts

@@kirkbridej77 at first I thought your comment said ‘we all have GRIFTS’ and I sat here staring at it wondering how playing music was a grift. Lol. Then I looked closer. You’re right.
