==Versions==
===Pinion===
This is the only version available, notable for being the shortest in length of all of Nine Inch Nails' catalog. It features a pulsing series of short, ascending, distorted guitar power chords and a collage of atmospheric loops, including a reversed sample of [[David Bowie]]'s "''It's No Game''", which eventually give way to the guitar riff once more before leading into "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]." These last chords are looped several times to lengthen the music video soundtrack.
===Pinion (''And All That Could Have Been'')===
A live performance of the guitar riff is combined with many elements of "[[The New Flesh]]" (at 107 BPM) to form the introduction of the DVD and VHS versions of ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]'', frequently used to begin many dates of both [[Fragility]] tours.
