}} [[Image:Lettingyou.jpg|thumb|200px|Artwork accompanying the MP3 file]] '''"Letting You"''' is the third track on the Nine Inch Nails album ''[[The Slip]]''. A noisy and fast-paced song, it is somewhat similar to "[[You Know What You Are]]" from ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'' and "[[March of the Pigs (halo)|March Of The Pigs]]" from ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'', but is also contains similarities similar to "[[Hyperpower!]]" and "[[The Good Soldier]]".
The artwork is a vertically oriented [[Art Is Resistance]] emblem that can also be seen as the letters L and Y, with a red line originating from where the star would be. The song can be interpreted as a protest song, similar to "[[The Hand That Feeds (song)|The Hand That Feeds]]," from 2005's ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]].'' The artwork and subject matter of the lyrics may suggest a connection to ''[[Year Zero]]''.
==Versions==
===Letting You===
This is the original album version. Fast-paced and featuring blistering guitar, the odd drum rhythm loops throughout the track, sometimes complicated further with extra bass drum hits. Bass enters in short bursts through the choruses. Vocals throughout the song are shouted rhythmically. Various ambient synthesizers fill the background throughout, layering through its instrumental coda along with a stabbing synthesizer that increases in volume until it overcomes the rest of the mix and cuts off suddenly.
===Letting You (Live At Rehearsals)===
This version of the song was released online via [[nin.com]] and PitchforkTV. It was filmed and recorded in the band's rehearsal space in mid 2008 and directed by [[Rob Sheridan]]. It also features on the physical release of ''The Slip, '' on a an accompanying DVD of rehearsal footage.
==Live==
This song was played very frequently on the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]], with the last line of the chorus sung "Get away, get away" instead of "Get away with it." An example of this can be seen in the HD Video: Letting You live from on stage, Brisbane 2.21.09 that was filmed by Rob Sheridan available on the Nine Inch Nails Official Youtube channel.
