It might be obvious why I'm making a cover of this, I don't really need to repeat what I say so often...

Either way, the downward spiral and this track in particular holds an important spot in my heart. I often feel like I haven't left my downward spiral yet. I constantly feel like I'm just bad for my health, autotoxic. "The downward spiral" as an album is a warning where all this destruction could lead. I often find myself being the protagonist of the album irl. Flirting with suicide as the final step in the process of this unending self-destruction and wrong-doing. I keep hoping for a different outcome, making my way out of the spiral. Deep down however... I don't hope for anything anymore. I tell myself that it could always be worse. I can live like this, I don't really want to though.

  • those vox in the chorus are out of pitch in an almost painful way aaaaargh

    no autotune tho (lol I'll keep on bragging)

  • pretty sure johnny cash just dropped in and said that this is a banger

  • vocals now? hell yea, very cool

  • The vocals are alright.

    Good thing this charted, btw. You deserve it!

  • love the way the toy piano morphs into harsh noise, killer track, much love.

  • I made minimal changes in terms of pitch adjustement to the vocals btw >:)

    • I mean it's unfortunately audible, but I have relatively good pitch.

  • vocals are rlly good

  • nine inch nails mentioned

  • honestly, the vocals are good. you did a fine job.

    • Thanks. I don't think I can personally see it that way though. Hurt is a very honest, very intense track... it was there in the instrumental I made. And IMHO covering this source material requires a lot more care. I'll know it for next time.

  • I had the idea of making a cover of this song a few weeks ago, because I was feeling particularly bad. I had no real way of recording the vocals anywhere until yesterday. Unfortunately, in this case, I did not feel as terrible as a few weeks ago, so the vox aren't as genuine. I don't think I did NIN justice with my stylized singing. I'm not Reznor and shouldn't try to be him in a song this serious.
