<p>BloodOfReptile: /* Collaborations with NIN */</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Image:Saultrent.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Saul Williams and Trent Reznor]]<br />
'''Saul Williams''' (born February 29, 1972) is a hip-hop artist, poet, writer and actor who has collaborated with [[Trent Reznor]] and [[Nine Inch Nails]] on several occasions.<br />
<br />
==Collaborations with NIN==<br />
Besides opening numerous shows for the band, Williams was joined by the full NIN touring band during the [[2005/10/29 New Orleans, LA|Voodoo Festival]] in New Orleans to play "African Student Movement" and "List of Demands" from his self-titled album. Bootlegs of this performance are widely available.<br />
<br />
Reznor produced Williams' third full-length studio album, ''[[The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of NiggyTardust!]],'' which was made available for download on November 1, 2007. In addition, Williams has contributed two tracks to Nine Inch Nails' ''[[Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D]]:'' "[[Hyperpower#Gunshots_By_Computer|Gunshots By Computer]]" and "[[Survivalism_%28song%29#Survivalism_Tardusted|Survivalism_Tardusted]]" which was previously included on the ''[[Survivalism (halo)|Survivalism]]'' single. There is however some speculation that this mix was actually written by Thavius Beck and Saul just performed the vocals.<br />

}}'''"Kinda I Want To"''' is the sixth track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]],'' and has ties to lust, though it's unclear exactly what the speaker wants to do or whom they want to do it with. Notably hard to write, [[Trent Reznor]] has always been very unsatisified with the song and thinks it's by far the worst song he's ever done. He has also stated it's the one song he will not play live anymore, though as with anything, this is subject to change.<br />
<br />
===Song Credits===<br />
*Production: Trent Reznor, [[John Fryer]]<br />
*Engineering: John Fryer, [[Keith LeBlanc]], [[Kennan Keating]], [[Ken Quartarone]]<br />
*Mix: John Fryer, Trent Reznor, Keith LeBlanc<br />

*''[[Purest Feeling II]]'' (Demo)<br />
<br />
==Versions==<br />
===Kinda I Want To===<br />
Beginning with what sounds like garbled cries, the sixth track on ''Pretty Hate Machine'' is perhaps the most solely beat driven song on the album, lacking a clear melody and utilizing a lot of samples and loops (similar to ''[[Year Zero]]''). The middle section samples the drum beat, similar guitar work and some vocals from [[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]. The distorted cries at the end segue directly into "[[Sin (song)|Sin]]."<br />
<br />
===Kinda I Want To (''Purest Feeling'' Version)===<br />
With a completely different arrangement, a solid synthetic melody, less distorted audio samples and a much more upbeat feel to it, the ''Purest Feeling'' version of "Kinda I Want To" resembles early 80's house music more than it's "breakbeat"-ish counterpart from ''Pretty Hate Machine.'' The song's arrangement is completely different in structure though the lyrics are the same with an additional bridge in the middle where Reznor repeats the line "Why does it have to be this way?" over and over while harmonizing with himself. The ending also features a rapidly strumming spanish guitar sound similar to that used in "[[The Becoming]]" off of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]],'' before the entire song fades into soft synths.<br />
<br />
===Kinda I Want To (Demo)===<br />
This version is almost exactly like the ''Purest Feeling'' version in structure and sound, though it uses much simpler synths and percussion, no sampling and very little background. This is perhaps one of Reznor's earliest demos as [[Nine Inch Nails]].<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
Coming soon<br />
<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
I can't shake this feeling from my head<br />
There's a devil sleeping in my bed<br />
He's watching you from across the way<br />
I cannot make this feeling go away<br />
<br />
I know it's not the right thing<br />
And I know it's not the good thing<br />
But kinda I want to<br />
<br />
I'm not sure of what I should do<br />
When everything I'm thinking of is you<br />
All of my excuses turn to lies<br />
Maybe God will cover up His eyes<br />
<br />
I know it's not the right thing<br />
And I know it's not the good thing<br />
But kinda I want to<br />
Kinda I want to<br />
<br />
Maybe just for tonight<br />
We can pretend it's all right<br />
What's the price I pay?<br />
I don't care what they say<br />
I want to<br />
I want to (I'll take my chance tonight)<br />
