Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug
“The Perfect Drug” has been on my mind for some time now. But, since I played it on Rock Band over the weekend I just can’t get it out of my head now.
The track was written for the 1997 David Lynch flick Lost Highway, which starred Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette. “The Perfect Drug”, as an audio release, has only appeared on the soundtrack to Lost Highway in North America. It did, however, have it’s own EP, known as Halo 11, which contained remixes of the song. It has also appeared on the 1999 3-disc single for “We’re In This Together” and the “Into the Void” single in 2000.
“The Perfect Drug” has never been preformed live by Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor has stated that it’s his least favorite creation. Why? Because of the short production time and overblown video.
Sorry, I don’t agree with you there Trent. I think this song is sick. I love how it ends with the line, “without you everything falls apart”. It’s good stuff.
Here’s the “overblown” video, which was directed by Mark Romanek.
