Changes

This version is only available on the vinyl edition of ''The Fragile'', including the 2017 DE download. After the slinking guitar riff returns post-piano improvisation, a loop of it and the insect noises below it simply fade out.

This version is on the original CD and audio cassette releases of ''The Fragile''. The song mutates from a very beautiful piano improvisation by Mike Garson above a methodical, slinking guitar riffin 6/8, gradually descending into chaos with several instruments playing wildly and disharmoniously before all the sounds stop at once. The opening riff returns, this time with insect loops and a deep bass pad, crossfading with "Decay" follows ; this movement initially builds on the "Ripe" riff with darkhorns, moody bass bleating synth and synthpiano, and Reznor humming in then slows down to a cadence of the backgroundbass pad surrounded by crickets. The second part of "Decay" begins in 4/4 with a new bass guitar picks back up riff, gradually joined by distant drum loops, strange acoustic and the music becomes chaotic again for a momentelectric guitars, just to stop as abruptly as it started. "Decay" extends the songand Reznor's length wordless, harmonized vocals, which cut off layer by an extra minute and twenty secondslayer.

Released exclusively through Apple Music. Doesn't actually contain "Decay.", very different arrangementThe various layers built atop the 6/8 riff are joined by manipulated beats.

''The Fragile: Deviations 1'' version. It seems to be a combination of the Apple Music alt version and the same arrangement of "Decay" (including the crossfade with the "Ripe" riff) as the original album.
