A discussion on another thread just took me back to this. Haven't played it in a while.
Some of the comments under the vid are interesting, comparing this in a sensible way with the Johnny Cash cover.
.
One comments:
"The Johnny Cash version is like someone giving you the song on CD and saying "Don't play this until I've passed away, then you'll understand why I recorded it." The NIN version is like finding a dead body, with this song found on a CD in their bedroom."
Aside from the mix, (just turn up the NIN version and wait till the singing stops - oh my), just one word changes the flavour. Cash:
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I'm still right here
Now the original:
I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

If anyone already posted this, I’m sure it was a different day
OK, it is several tracks. Just listen to the first track if that bothers you.
Sublime original sound.
