}}'''"Non-Entity"''' is a ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'' outtake that [[Trent Reznor]] debuted on the MTV program ReAct Now in an effort to support people displaced by Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005, and later became part of the set list on the [[Live: With Teeth]] tours. The tours also included "[[Not So Pretty Now]]," another ''With Teeth'' outtake.
During a chat with fans in the official [[NIN ]] fan club, [[The Spiral]], Reznor stated that these songs were outtakes from the ''With Teeth'' sessions, and studio recordings of them might one day surface. On March 20, 2009, Reznor released the studio version of "Non-Entity" for free, as well as "Not So Pretty Now", as part of the ''[[NINJA 2009 Summer Tour EP]]'' via ninja2009.com.
===Song Credits===
This studio-recorded version finally saw the light of day on March 20, 2009, when it was included on the ''NINJA 2009 Summer Tour Sampler'' EP. Slow and groove-oriented, its instrumentation is simple, maintaining use of live drums, bass, guitar and vocals. It features a prominent whine similar to the one used in "[[Home]]," and is structured much like "[[The Line Begins To Blur]]," though Reznor does not yell during the verses. Its original recording dates back to the ''With Teeth'' sessions.
===Non-Entity (AcousticReAct Now version)===Performed at the [[2005/09/09 Los Angeles, CA|ReAct Now benefit]], this was the first version of the song to be publicly performed. It features Reznor on piano and vocals with a drum machine beats played from a boombox backing him. It was made available for purchase via the now defunct Sony Connect service as an encrypted OMA download with proceeds going toward charities aiding those affected by Hurricane Katrina.
