NIИ - Every Day is Exactly the Same

I'm straying a bit from my upbeat songs today. Not that I'm feeling depressed - I'm feeling great, personally. But either way, here it is:

Nine Inch Иails - "Every Day is Exactly the Same"

This song was in Wanted. If you've been reading the blog, you know I got to see that movie not too long ago. Of course, the song was around before that, but seeing the movie brought the song back to my attention. While this song has a different mood than my other favorites, I have to note that there are still similarities - it's got a driving beat and intelligent lyrics, as well as other details I'm sure you can find yourself. I love it when NIИ uses piano in their music. There is something about the particular notes that can just wrench at you, deeply. The end of Closer
Note - the song Closer has language that I would not suggest letting your children listen to, at least not without you having some say in it.
also has a short piano piece that I like - their ends are similar, in a way. That's a live recording, but it still has piano, and it still sounds great.

As an aside, NIИ has a new cd out, available for free on their website. They are trying some new and interesting sales methods, similar to Radiohead. It's good to see some alternative ways be heard.

Last, but not least, we lost a great comedian this week.
R.I.P. George Carlin.
