This is the original album version. Driven throughout by consistent drum and bass parts, Reznor's layered vocals and muted guitars soon join. The higher, melodic verses are followed by lower pitched vocals in the pre-choruses, then higher again as the choruses are sung in falsetto. The choruses also feature a different chord progression played by bass and distorted guitars, similar to the choruses of "[[Love Is Not Enough]]." The second chorus and following bridge also feature a synthesizer lead that sounds very similar to a blender, perhaps the song's most notable characteristic. The song ends after two repeated choruses with different lyrics and 16 bars of the verse bassline and drums, which stop together just as they began.

"Sunspots" [[NIN songs never played live|has never been performed live]], perhaps due to [[Trent Reznor]]'s fear of straining his voice too much. However, it has been performed at soundchecks and rehearsals with vocals. One of those soundchecks can be heard [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtkdJfF8BOo here].
