I’m not a fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s at all but this version of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” is fantastic. The arrangement from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross as well as the visuals from the opening sequence of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo make this great.
Nine Inch Nails
Cover Thursday: Nine Inch Nails (Joy Division)- Dead Souls
It’s amazing to hear lyrics so haunting embody someone else. The words of Ian Curtis, really strike at the heart with many people especially Trent Reznor. You can tell why Joy Division is such an influence on Nine Inch Nails.
Two For Tuesday: Nine Inch Nails
The first video/song is The Perfect Drug. Never released on a studio album it was however released on the soundtrack for the film Lost Highway and as a single. The video is one of the best Nine Inch Nails videos ever and the song is wonderful. Trent has never played the song live. There is something haunting and beautiful about the words and how Mark Romanek used them to create such a vivid intricate story in the video.
Into The Void is the second pick in the 2 for Tuesday. Directed by Walter Stern and Jeff Richter, the clip gets literally beneath the surface of Trent Reznor and shows how imperfect he is. The song itself tells the listener that no matter what he does to bring himself back up it all slips away. Into The Void was featured on the masterpiece The Fragile (I will write about this wonderful album soon).
Enjoy 2 For Tuesday!
