===Released on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1''. Also known as "La Mer " (Alternate VersionAlt)===when it was originally released on Apple Music as part of ''The Fragile: Deviations 1Instrumental'' version. It seems , where it appeared to be marred with brief noise during the intro, potentially caused by a better poor DAT transfer . This is a significantly different mix of the Apple Music alt versionalbum arrangement, lacking the DAT transfer noise in the introwith a very different drum sound and more pronounced standup bass. The ending does not fade out or crossfade with "The Great Below."

}}'''"La Mer"''' is the eleventh track from the Left disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' Its main melodic elements and bassline are taken in a different direction with "[[Into The Void (song)|Into The Void]]."
On ''The Fragile'' vinyl and 2017 DE download, the introductory piano chords and standup bass are repeated one extra time before the solo begins over top, and the ending denouement is slightly longer, featuring more spoken samples. Because of this, the transition into "[[The Great Below]]" is also slightly different than the original CD version.
