"THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL" (song) musical analysis by composer // Nine Inch Nails)

The end, but not the end, of The Downward Spiral. This video is about how the harmonies and sounds create one of the most intensely overwhelming tracks I've ever heard, from a composer's perspective. This track leaves me in tears every time. KEY: E BPM: 64/128 depending on how you feel it :: HEY.

Great job as usual. Eventually I would like to see some lyric analysis to tie in with the musicality because I don’t really see them as separate things. That said, I think anyone interested in understanding how music is put together emotionally should watch this entire series for TDS.

Excellent ixi! I listened to it three times in a row. I really appreciated the way you ended it. To hear Trent so clearly was really moving. Thanks ixi!
