}}'''"A Warm Place"''' is the tenth track on ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].''.
The song bears some resemblance to "Crystal Japan" by [[David Bowie]] and "Tanz Der China Dolls" by The Legendary Pink Dots.
==About==
==="Crystal Japan" resemblance===
Trent Reznor has been accused of ripping off the theme of "A Warm Place" from David Bowie's 1980 single "Crystal Japan". He did state that Bowie's album ''Low'' (1977) had the biggest influence in the making of ''The Downward Spiral,'',[https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/display/557] though ''Low'' does not contain "Crystal Japan"." Some have claimed that what is heard is deceiving; that from a musical theory point of view, there exist significant differences between the structures of the two melodies.
====David Bowie Interview====
Reznor himself recognised the accidental musical similarity in an interview with David Bowie:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0RQCT69y5s&feature=player_embedded]
==Versions==
===A Warm Place===
This version is on both ''The Downward Spiral'' and ''Closure.'' . Consisting solely of synthesizer chords and melodies, it remains quiet, tranquil, and reflective throughout. Its structure is very simple, containing only few different chord progressions and a couple of different melody lines. Beginning directly after the sudden ending of "[[Big Man With A Gun]]"," the piece ends by crossfading with the opening samples of "[[Eraser]]"."
