Update: Changed name from NIN to Nailed. Even thought it's a genuine tribute I don't want to be seen as highjacking their brand so... Also added a loop of 9 nail strikes per bar throughout and gave it sox on the vox... oh and bass guitar in there somewhere too

This is a tribute to Nine Inch Nails the band. Very luckily I saw them live on the Peel it Back tour in Dublin and they solidified their status as the most influential 'active' band for me in my world. An amazing show and well worth checking out if you can. The notes below the lyrics are elements I want to build into the song. Obviously not trying to rip them off but I guess I'm trying to paint a musical picture with some of their brushes and canvas. So far I'm happy the base tune appears to be original and also relevant to their material. Maybe it has enough to be obviously NIN influenced too. I'd welcome opinions on that if you have time 🖤

Lyrics

NIN my Sin
Nail all Nine Inches in
Give me Meadville grin
Peel it back
We win

Thanks lads
You're still the bar
Trent at 60
Many more years fill stages far
A forever reference in my head
From heavy to light
Lyrical love brain bed
Some friends don't dig your music but love your words
Proper heresy
Transcendence of blur

NIN my Sin
Nail all Nine Inches in

Keep it together
We want more Hurt
Yeah Cash took it,
But it's always your worth
This is something I can have
I will find that stage
I got Reznor rasp
You gave me growl and finesse
Closer to God within my chest

NIN my Sin
Nail all those Nine Inches in

Ruiner of my negative side
Head was a hole
Ego tamed from pride
(add a line here - Maybe: "Pensilvanian tone")
A Warm Place
You fill these moments
Like Buckley Grace
Mimed music moulded
Into the Void for all our sakes
Lyrical real washes away the fakes

NIN my Sin
Nail all those Nine Inches in

I bite the hand that feeds us lies
I almost Gave Up
But, still Wish for prize
It's you man
You kept me going
You're amazing music
Keeps BD flowing
Never say never
Churned love from rage
Maybe someday we'll share a stage

NIN my Sin
Nail all Nine Inches in

We spiral down with you to the darkest depths
We saw you in hell and together, wept
Old self destruction,
Marching swine power
Reptilian darkness
Musical genes
One timeless over hour

Sin to bin
Right where it belongs
NIN my Sin
Nine Inch Nails
Let's get it on"

Further orchestration:

- Consider dropping drums for the last two lines of each verse to emphasis the lines and make them the double emphasis you learned from Papa. RE read what he said about that and link and pass on the lesson if relevant

-consider setting up a synth to create a spiral effect with panning and pitch shifting to honour the Downward Spiral

-Use breaking glass effect to honour The Fragile. Maybe make this a positive flip by using a reversed breaking of glass effect making something that's impossible at least possible in sound. That can be a powerful metaphor

- Add a Machine sound of some kind to honour Pretty hate Machine. Tie this machine sound to the reverse effected glass breaking effect and tie that positivity to the hope we keep machines & technology under a better control collectively
