Nine Inch Nails - “Ringfinger” (6.50MB mp3 file)
In high school I absolutely did not like Nine Inch Nails, and kind of defiantly so. I think I knew nature’s chips were already stacked against me — tall, gaunt, pale, black hair — so I had to make it clear I wasn’t goth? Or wasn’t into industrial? Or wasn’t super angry and tortured? I don’t know. I just know I was not buying what Trent Reznor was selling. And that the video for “Closer” scared the living shit out of me.
During this period, a pen pal put this song on a mixtape for me and for years it remained the only Nine Inch Nails song I liked, until after college when I gave Pretty Hate Machine a try and was like, “This ain’t so bad.” I’m still not president of the fan club, but there are NIN jams I can get into these days.
Songs That Saved Your Life
don't forget the songs
that made you cry
and the songs that saved your life
yes, you're older now
and you're a clever swine
but they were the only ones who ever stood by you
