"'''A Warm Place'''" is the tenth track on ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]''.
===Song Credits===*Production: [[Flood]] and [[Trent Reznor]]*Mixing Engineer: [[Alan Moulder]] ===''Closure'' video===Disc 2 of the ''[[Closure]]'' includes a video with "A Warm Place" played over [[industrial]] imagery. Interpretation===''Natural Born Killers'' soundtrack==="A Warm Place" was included on the soundtrack to the 1994 Oliver Stone film ''Natural Born Killers''. In the movie itself, the song served as a backdrop to the showdown between Mickey Knox and Jack Scagnetti after the first part of the prison riot scene. ==Interpretation==
"A Warm Place" is regarded as the turning point of the album. It is the only instrumental, discounting the practically inaudible spoken words at the beginning. Its tranquil and soothing nature highly contrasts with the other tracks on the album, which all contain loud and angry parts.
"A Warm Place" and "Eraser" may be considered two acts to one song, with the former being critical and necessary for the latter. When listening to the album, one should avoid skipping "A Warm Place" to abruptly listen to "Eraser.
==="Crystal Japan" resemblance===
[[Trent Reznor]] has been accused of ripping off the theme of "A Warm Place" from [[David Bowie]]'s 1980 single "Crystal Japan". He did state that Bowie's album ''Low'' (1977) had the biggest influence in the making of ''The Downward Spiral'',[http://9inchnails.com/articles/articles.php?id=7] though ''Low'' does not contain "Crystal Japan". Some have claimed that what is heard is deceiving; that from a musical theory point of view, there exist significant differences between the structures of the two melodies.
