Changes

This is the original album version. A unique track in the NIN canon, it features a loud and bombastic drum loop with odd percussion sounds, synthesized bass, and an oddly-tuned acoustic -sounding guitar riffplayed on a Parker Fly guitar utilizing its piezo pickup.[https://www.reddit. com/r/nin/comments/71zc1i/comment/dnexbbo/] [[Trent Reznor]]'s vocals in the verses are abrasively yelled, contrasting with the melodic singing in the pre-choruses and choruses, a pattern that would be used again in "[[The Line Begins To Blur]]" and "[[Head Down]]". The chorus is backed by organ chords, while the bridge descends into ambient synthesizers and loops before exploding back into the song with a new synthesized melody. The song ends suddenly, segueing immediately into "[[Underneath It All]]".

Reznor is highly energetic in this particular performance. As well, the lead acoustic guitar in the original album version is replaced with a more heavily distorted/fuzzed guitar, though still played on a Parker Fly. During the guitar solo, Aaron North scrapes his guitar against his amp cabinet, creating a controlled feedback sound.
