If you were a song, what kind of song would you be?

First and foremost, the song I'd be should have cellos. I love the sound of cellos more than anything. And Nine Inch Nails and cellos = goose-bumps and a tune to listen to on and on and on and drive insane everyone around me with it.

This tune begins as if received from a very far away place in the Universe. Or as if someone starts an old weird and dusty machine. Then, the smooth and intricate sounds of the cellos and violins. Over those, what seems like a boy playing with the buttons of a space ship or interferences from other transmissions from different corners of the Universe. Or as if a mad scientist is testing his crazy inventions.

The song keeps the original theme, but it's played only by cellos, as if by Apocalyptica. Which made me think Apocalyptica would make such great NIN covers. Anyway…

The main song gets distorted. At one point it's even interrupted for just a flick of a second. The other interferrences get very frequent. But the main body of the song doesn't fade away. It doesn't dissapear into the big void out there. But the distortions and interference get so frustrating that you can hear him (Trent Reznor) sighing as if exasperated. Then the song just finishes. For a bit, another attempt, as if someone is testing the strings of their violin.
End of transmission.

I have a new most fav tune: The Frail (version). It makes me think of that Judy Foster movie, "Contact", in which she was listening to the Universe, hoping to catch a transmission from outer space.

*PS: A friend of mine sorta reproached me that she reads my comments about one song or another, and then goes to that song and feels a bit dissapointed, cause it doesn't suit her tastes and for her doesn't sound that great as it does for me :P LMFAO*
