==Recording==The end of the song "Pilgrimage" presents a turn features an entirely synthetic marching band arrangement. Its creation was revealed in the musical harmony of ''The Fragilean interview with Rolling Stone:[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart78.'' From the soft and melodic sounds of "[[Even Deeper]shtml]<blockquote>" to the hardhitting riffs and lyrics of "[[No, You DonIt shouldn't]]have taken place," and the hollowness of Reznor says sheepishly. "[[La Mer]]" and "[[The Great Below]]track was done. But at the end," "Pilgrimage" represents a battleI said, 'That's such a turning of the tidesbizarre theme. Whereas What would it sound like played by a marching band going down the album starts with the protagonist street?' A week later" - he nods in the depths direction of a depression, whether it be emotional, physical, or both, leading up to this point the lyrical content and general mood one of the songs is dark, reflective and introspective, leading into studio's king-size Macintosh computers - "Pilgrimage" representing his will to battle there's a band marching through the fears and pains inside him, and continuing song. It's all on through synthesizer."NoNew Orleans, You Don'tof course, is a city full of marching bands." The mood then changes again from proactive It would have been easier to get a band than it was to passive with do it the songs "La Mer" and "The Great Belowway I did," almost seeming to state that he tried to battle his demonsReznor admits, but then fell back into the pit he started ingrinning. On the Right side of ''The Fragile,'' this momentum repeats itself, starting with the pains of emptiness and then gradually building to self confidence, only to slump back to where he originally started with "[[Ripe]]."</blockquote>

This is the album version. Its abrasive guitar riff fades in from the end of "[[Even Deeper]]," joined at each repetition by new layers of mechanical synthesizers and percussion layers. These layers are soon subsumed by the main theme, played on synthesizers. After its repetition, the layers halt to simply a distorted guitar playing the same riff, which is then joined by drums, bass synth, and wordless vocal melodies. These layers soon crossfade with a return of the main melody, played this time on brass instruments accompanied by marching drums that fade in. Eventually, the horn and synth layers stop, leaving only the marching drums to repeat and stop suddenly, leading into the opening ambient pad of "[[No, You Don't]]." On the vinyl version, the song does not fade in at the start, rather beginning with the guitar riff and building at its natural mix volume. ===Pilgrimage (Alternate Version)==='''''Running Time: 3:04''''' Released on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1''. Also known as "Pilgrimage" (Alt) when it was originally released on Apple Music as part of ''The Fragile Instrumental''. This is a very different mix, though the arrangement is very close to the album version. Its intro, like the vinyl version, does not fade in.

"Pilgrimage" has been used live an as an introduction song tape on the [[Live: With Teeth]] Summer Amphitheater Tour ]] and the Year Zero Warm-Up Tour[[Performance 2007]] tour.
