Nine Inch Nails The Perfect Drug

Hey Guys. I noticed that in NIN's The Perfect Drug music video, That Trent is playing with the piano keys like Deckard was in Blade Runner. Mark Romanek who directed the video was in the Dangerous Days doc.

Excellent video.

I see what you're saying. But, it's probably not influenced by that scene. It's a common position for such contemplations at the keyboard.

I doubt Deckard was contemplating, he just had heavy head from the booze.

Trent Reznor loves Blade Runner. I just saw them in concert for the "Lights in the Sky" tour a month ago.

His album Year Zero was very Blade Runnerish and he ended the set with the "In this Twilight" from that album. He had a very Blade Runner inspired intro in the background. It looks like the beginning of the film...

Awesome light show...(watch the whole clip) at 2:45 you can see the Blade Runner style background

In this Twilight by NIN

watch the sun,
as it crawls across a final time
and it feels like,
like it was a friend.
it is watching us,
and the world we set on fire
do you wonder,
if it feels the same?

and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
as your time is running out
let me take away your doubt
you can find a better a place
in this twilight

from dust to dust,
ashes in your hair remind me
what it feels like
and I won't feel again
night descends
could I have been a better person
if I could only do it all again

and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
and the longing that you feel
you know none of this is real
you will find a better place
in this twilight
