So it seemed, well, like that's my song.
Rick sent me a CD of it. I listened to it, and it seemed incredibly strange and wrong to me to hear that voice with my song. I thought, "Here's this thing that I wrote in my bedroom in a moment of frailty, and now Johnny Cash is singing it." It kind of freaked me out
Rick asked what I thought, and I said, "You did a very tasteful job with it" -- which I did think and do think. It was a big juxtaposition for me to hear it as someone else's song now. It instantly became his song after that.

Naravno da je tako, malo ljudi zna da je album (Downward spiral) u biti post narkomanski, i svojevrsna Trentova self terapija. I sam prevod naziva albuma to kaze (narodski receno visoko si leteo al si nisko pao)... I vecina pesama je u tom polu sef-hejt fazonu, recimo "Becoming"... Pa onda refren u "Heresy" (God is dead, and no one care, if there is a hell, i'll see you there)... Album je vrlo "intiman" i s razlogom je popizdeo
