===Sin (''And All That Could Have Been'')===
==Live==
The song's intro seems to be performed differently by every [[NIN ]] keyboardist. For example, [[Danny Lohner]] in the [[Woodstock '94]] performance is seen playing an additional melody to the intro. During the [[Fragility]] tour, [[Charlie Clouser]] used a theremin before the guitar intro is played, while [[Alessandro Cortini]]'s performance of the intro is a tad closer to the original.  Other than that, the rest of the song is performed closely to the album version in most live performances, though when [[Jeordie White]] played the song, he played its harmonic progression on bass guitar rather than the keyboards used in most other live arrangements.  The persistent high-pitched percussion loop from the "Long", "Short" and "Dub" mixes is also usually present in the live iterations. It was performed semi-regularly as a remixed/mash-up version in collaboration with [[Boys Noize]] on Act III of the [[Peel It Back Tour]], using Boys Noize's song "Cerebral" as the base, usually being the final song for Act III.
==Music Video==
The video was filmed in December 1990 in London, during a short trip by Reznor and [[John Malm]] to prepare for the upcoming UK releases and tour through Island Records. [https://happinessinheresy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/scene.jpg]
The video was banned from MTV and most major outlets. It remained unreleased in any official capacity until a partial version of the video was included on ''Closure.'' There were reports that the complete video was shown at dance clubs in the early 1990s and can now be found on the internet, as the full video became available through [[TVT Records|TVT]]'s website.[httphttps://www.theninhotline.netcom/news/archivespermalink/backissue.php?y=01&m=11#1004906701] [http://web.archive.org/web/20020311020744/http://www.tvtrecords.com/artists/select-video.jsp?art_id=110] The officially released version was incomplete due to interference from [[TVT Records]].[http://nindestruct.com/mags/HitParaderSept94.html]
