There's some dark history behind La Mer. Trent discloses the origins behind this song during a live concert 6/3/09. It's such a beautiful piece, I never would of imagined he wrote this while attempting suicide! This is one of my all time top favorite songs. Here's the video 0:30 is when he starts explaining La Mer's origins. /watch?v=95jbTEb9mD0

From nin.wiki/La_Mer "La Mer" is the eleventh track from the Left disc of The Fragile. Its main melodic elements and bassline are taken in a different direction with "Into The Void." Reznor has stated that "Adrift And At Peace" is the conclusion to "La Mer." The lyrics are in Creole French. It is one of the many NIN songs that includes the phrase "Nothing Can Stop Me Now," and one of the few to include a vocalist other than Trent Reznor. In addition, it was the first instrumental written for The Fragile. The song itself was conceived during a very dark period in Reznor's life. When on stage in 2009 he disclosed that he had rented a house at the time on an ocean with the external intent to write some music, but in reality had contemplated suicide there. This song was the only song to come out of that time and place. He still feels strange playing it live because it serves as a reminder of this period.

You have great taste. "La Mer" is one of my favorite driving tunes! GREAT JOB!

This version if mixed a little bit sounds like something you would hear on Bowie's "Outside". Beautifully heartwrenching and yet liberating

The waves were a great touch
