This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I survived, everything
I have tried everything, everything, everything and anything
All the walls begin to devolve away
Do your hands begin to shake, shake, shake, shake, shake?
And just who do you think you used to be?
All beings to bend and break, and break, and break, and break
Wave goodbye, wish me well
I've become, something else, something else, something else
Just as well, really
But this thing that lives inside of me
Will surely rise and wake, and wake, and wake, and wake, and wake
And the seed that bleeds right through to me
And it comes to grab and take, and take, and take, and take
I am home, I believe
I am home, I am free
I am home, I can see
Always here, finally
I am home, I believe
I am home, I am free
I have tried everything, everything, everything and anything
All the walls begin to devolve away
Do your hands begin to shake, shake, shake, shake, shake?
And just who do you think you used to be?
All beings to bend and break, and break, and break, and break
Wave goodbye, wish me well
I've become, something else, something else, something else
Just as well, really
But this thing that lives inside of me
Will surely rise and wake, and wake, and wake, and wake, and wake
And the seed that bleeds right through to me
And it comes to grab and take, and take, and take, and take
I am home, I believe
I am home, I am free
I am home, I can see
Always here, finally
I am home, I believe
I am home, I am free

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song makes me happy.
Yes, me, too. It makes me happy.
And proud, which sounds weird, maybe. I think it took a lot of courage for Trent Reznor to release a joyful and ernest song like this. I'm sure he knows some fans will call it a Hallmark card.
Well, screw 'em. I love it.
I think "Everything" about the pure joy that comes from being released from the demon of addiction. And about remaining vigilant, because it always waits inside you.
I remember once many years ago I heard NIN playing in a mall. I felt this wash of alienation, like, "What the hell? Aren't you people listening? This is agonizing self-loathing and rage, here! You can't just absent-mindedly hum along!" His songs were painful for me to hear.
Now, this. When I heard "Everything", I literally cried tears of relief that someone who had suffered so much had found joy.
Recovery is beautiful.
I don't know all of the demons he has struggled with, we have been struggling with the exact same intensity of pain. One of my biggest sources, is someone I dedicated my entire life to, only to discover after 14 years he was only faking it, to set me up for enjoying my destruction. Trent's voice has been the only painkiller I have, for this level of suffering. I am going through intense court battles now, just to save my children who my husband is withholding from me, to tear me to pieces. Trent will likely never know. he saves my life each and every day. He is an unlikely angel, but one of the greatest!!
It is good to hear his pain reach a place of joy, finally. I am hoping mine will too one day. Only someone who has seen the most extreme forms of suffering, could produce and write music this intense. I don't think there has, nor ever will be, a more brilliant and honest musician than himself.
YOU GIVE ME SO MUCH HOPE TRENT!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT WITH THE WORLD! I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
Don't know if these lyrics are completely right.... I love this song...it does sound uplifting despite the harsh distorted guitars.
Good track. Not typical NIN. That is what defines GREAT though. The ability to step outside your element and still succeed. A song about overcoming diversity, and being one with yourself imo.
