Shout out to those who loved this song since their teenage years. Life has been rough for us all but if you're here reading this, listening again at 40+ know you're so much stronger than you think or know. 'It can't rain all the time' .

The older you get, the more this song will hit you.

I got pregnant at 13 and gave birth at 14… gave my son up for adoption in 1996… this song got me through after for real. Love it so much!! I have a relationship with my son today also. ♥️
-
The fact that this song was written in 1989 and Trent is still alive to this day able to perform it still gives me hope 🖤
-
I drank a bottle of tequila laying in my bedroom floor listening to this song over and over. You cannot die of a broken heart, you only wish you could.
-
Years after i first heard this as a teen and cried, i'm now 41 and listening to it and crying. I know what it means now more than ever.
-
I'm 48 and haven't hard this song in probably over 20 years.. Still gives me full body chill bumps

Here in 2024 ❤

This song is for anyone who ever felt like a hopeless outsider. "I just want something I can never have" rings true to me after years and years. I just feel like I'm not meant to experience this human life with the ease that others have
-
Man, Trent's so versatile... He can scream and shred guitars in songs like Ruiner and then come up with beautiful songs like this one. He is one of the most talented musicians of our time.

I'm 40 years old. Even in my teens NIN was one of my favorite bands. Music helped me threw my life of depression and anxiety. Without music the world would suck. Trent is truly gifted with so much talent.
-
Music is so fucking magical. I'm 44 and I will never, ever, ever stop being amazed at how you can hear a song for the first time in 30 years and still know every, single, word.
-
Just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be.
-
describes depression to the infinitive power.

“Grey would be the color if I had a heart”

NIN is serioous shit. So fucking genius, this song is so deep, so vulnerable, both in the lyrics and the melody. And the live interpretation is just breathtaking. I'm thankful I can listen to this as many times as I want, sleep to it, sing to it, cry to it and hold onto it as much as I want and need. It's a divine experience
-
I'm 41 now an this song has changed its meaning to me so many times. Songs like this are timeless due to the fact that it can mean so much to so few. Music can bring you from the storm, get you off the ledges of the building or the bridge music is truly universal.

I lost my son in 03 and this is the song that tore me up. I love and miss you son everyday of my life.
-
I was 24 depressed losing my house. I bought a 25 caliber Lorcin hand gun, six bullets and drove out to a field. I put this on loop. Two days later I found I was pregnant with my second son. Thank you God for saving my life. And his. Thank you for letting me hear my mother and her devine intervention.

This man has saved my life countless times. He is devilishly talented. And my respect he shall have, all of his days. Thank you Trent. You probably will never the know the extent of the gift you gave.
