‘THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL’ - NINE INCH NAILS

SINGLE ARTWORK : FINAL DRAFT

TRACK 10: A WARM PLACE

These are my final drafts for ‘A Warm Place’ by Nine Inch Nails. 

I decided to also do an Irish version, as a tribute to the Joyce Family and those that were wrongfully accused of their deaths. 

I am also going to include the song ‘A Warm Place’, which you can listen to below. I didn’t bother doing so with any of the other tracks because ‘The Downward Spiral’ is a pretty noisey, abrasive record and this is a project for school after all. 

However this is probably one of the most beautiful, peaceful songs I’ve ever heard. I would recommend it to anyone. 

I also recently only realised for the first time that it borrows quite a bit from the David Bowie deep cut called “Crystal Japan” which Bowie had originally written for a gin commercial for a Japanese company. 

Reznor had written ‘A Warm Place’ himself without realising where the melody came from, but having a feeling it was not actually his. It’s a funny story you can read about here.
