Non-Entity

• Non-Entity

A little back history. Trent Reznor is a recluse. He does his best to lock himself away and not face the world. Or at least he did. He used to live in New Orleans but moved to L.A. at the beginning of the year. You might know where this is going.
     Then MTV just threw a New Orleans Relief Party. Trent played there and in doing so played a song he had never played before. I have acquired a video of him playing this new song live; "Non-Entity". I ripped the audio from it, touched it up, and remastered it with a few subtle effects to make it sound less LIVE and more STUDIO. I do not feel that what I did detracts from the song at all.
     The whole song is a haunting, yet catchy piano melody. In the video, just as he is sitting down at the Keys, he presses play on a Stereo atop the piano that plays a CD of his Drum Line. Other than the drums, and my effects, the whole things is done live, and you will only here it that way for awhile. We don't even know if he will put this on a future CD or not.

Here are the Lyrics...

=========================

The sky is not the same
shade of blue
Every single thing
I believe
isn't true

Missing in a maze
of monochrome
How did I get here?
How can I go home?

The echoes in my eyes
Of all they used to see
Burning down the world
the ashes and debris
and all thats left of me
Non Entity

Tried to stand in line
Tried to obey
The ghosts of what I was
Keep getting in the way

Staring at the sun
blinded by the light
Now I'm afraid I'm fading out of site

The Echoes in my eyes
Of all they used to see
Burning down the world
The ashes and Debris
And all thats left of you
And all thats left of me
All have washed away
Non entity

=========================

And, if you want, I can float you the .m4a (it's an iTunes thing) of the song I remastered. I am an emotional little bitch that gets teary any time Trent releases a new song. I cannot sleep because of it.
