===HalosOther===*''Purest Feeling'' ==Versions=====Maybe Just Once (Demo)==='''''Running Time: 4:13''''' Demo version leaked in 2025. The leak stated: "included on tapes distributed by [[TVT Records]] to solicit producers and foreign distribution deals." It has a somewhat high-sheen, late 80s synthpop sound that is not characteristic of NIN. It features a highly percussive synth sound, similar to that on the outro of "[[That's What I Get]]". ===Maybe Just Once(Purest Feeling)==='''''Running Time: 5:16''''' Version from the ''Purest Feeling'' [[bootlegs|bootleg]]. Similar in sound to the demo. The last two lines of the first two verses are switched, and Reznor sprinkles the line "Oh God" a couple of times during the outro. The intro uses a [[samples|sample]] of dialog from the film ''Diner'' and the bridge uses another, unidentified sample.  ''Diner'' sample in the intro: Beth (Ellen Barkin): "...when we were datin', did you care for me?" Boogie (Mickey Rourke): "Sure, I did." Beth: "You know, I don't mean just cause you could do stuff to me...but, but because you really cared?" Boogie: " has never been officially releasedOf course, Beth. I mean...there was plenty of girls around for a quick pop... ...if that's what I wanted...but I got to tell you...you were good."

===Other=== Sample in the bridge:Coming soon "He sat down on this bed and he said, 'Christ, what the hell do you think this place is?' You know, he just couldn't believe it! And I said, 'I don't know but it sure is something different.'"

Coming soon"Maybe Just Once" has not been performed live since the [[VIVIsectVI Tour]].

I can't believe that what I feel fear is really finally happening to me

Well I guess I just don't understand about those complexities in your mindwhat you want and what you need And I guess I just don't understand about why this world seems so unkindis how it has to be

Maybe, maybe just once, I could get what's coming Maybe, maybe just once, I could get what's coming to me

Well I guess I just don't understand about what you want and what you needthose complexities in your mind And I guess I just don't understand about how it has to bewhy this world seems so unkind

You sat down on this bed and you said "ChristMaybe, maybe just once, I could get what the hell do you think this place is?"'s coming You know He Maybe, maybe just couldnonce, I could get what't believe it! And I saids coming to me "I don't know but it sure is something different"Oh

Well how can you count on me ? I thought you realized for sure And how can you just believe? I thought I deserved just a little more Maybe, maybe just once, I could get what's coming Maybe, maybe just once, I could get what's coming to me Maybe, maybe just once, I could get what's coming Maybe, maybe just once, I could get what's coming to me

Oh GodWhat's coming to me Oh whatWhat's coming to me What's coming to me What's coming to me
