MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut 1 — opening beat of Closer)

January 28, 1995.
Nine Inch Nails took
“Closer”
to No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

(Music Cut 2 — groove locks in)

The recording location for this song wasn’t chosen for the ghosts —
but singer Trent Reznor later admitted
the oppressive atmosphere absolutely leaked into the music.

(Music Cut 3 — brief vocal lead-in)

The entire album, The Downward Spiral,
was recorded in the house
where the Manson Family murders took place.

(Music Cut 4 — “Help Me” vocal from the song)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“The only thing that works for me –
help me get away from myself.” — Nine Inch Nails
