''The Frail'' is the third track on the Left disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' The track is an entirely [[:Category:NIN Instrumentals|instrumental]] piano piece (in G Minor) which builds up and prepares the listener for the following song, "[[The Wretched]]."

===Halos===
*''The Fragile''
*''[[Things Falling Apart]]''
*''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]'' (CD/DVD/VHS)
==Versions==
===The Frail===
The original album version consists of a simple piano melody and some white noise in the background that builds to a vocal harmony, leading into "The Wretched."
===The Frail (Version)===
Found on ''Things Falling Apart,'' this version contains distorted elements and string instrument sounds, with the melody sounding like a violin rather than a piano.
===The Frail (And All That Could Have Been)===
On this live version, [[Trent Reznor]] starts by playing the melody solo on a keyboard. There is some improvisation, setting it apart from the album version. As it builds, the other sound elements are incorporated. As on ''The Fragile,'' it provides a segue into "The Wretched.
==Live==
This song is frequently performed live, as on the album, leading into "The Wretched." Reznor has been known to improvise and expand upon the basic piano part in a live setting.
