Changes

}}'''"Sanctified"''' is the fourth track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' It's best known for it's very tribal rhythms , recognizable by its electronic tom-based drum beat and distinctive slap bassline, though the original version of the only NIN song was apparently much brightercontaining that playing technique. A darker atmosphere Its mood was given altered from its happier form on ''[[Purest Feeling]]'' to it a darker, uneasier one for the ''Pretty Hate Machine.'' version. The song appears to be about sex with a woman who the protagonist ( [[Trent Reznor]]) has said the song is crazy about but is deathly afraid of. This could also be a metaphor for substance abuse"relationship with a crack pipe."

The album version of the song features begins with a very dark motif, given the very tribal rhythm, synthetic "chanting" programmed drum beat featuring prominent toms and the oddly tuned "atmospheric sounds created by guitar" that accompanies the beat. There is a short bridge in the middle in which some muffled samples can be heard underneath the synthetic drum loops and Gregorian like chanting. The outro is comprised of a keyboard drone at the end (created by [[Richard Patrick]]), accompanied by some downmixed samples, which lowers in pitch and winds down, segueing directly into "[[Something I Can Never Have]]."

The second track on ''Purest Feeling,'' the song begins with a shouted four count with drumsticks before hitting into the song. Though the beats and bassline are identical, the song is played slightly faster and all the effects are at a higher octave, giving it a much brighter feelmood. The samples in the song are also much louder than in the version on ''Pretty Hate Machine.''
