}}'''"Right Where It Belongs"''' is the thirteenth track on the 2005 release ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]''. Preview copies for media had it labeled "Cages," though it's unknown whether that was a working title or just an anti-piracy measure [http://theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=2].
===Right Where It Belongs===
This is the original album version. Heavily atmospheric, its opening ambience transitions from the end of "[[Beside You In Time (song)|Beside You In Time]]" into its first quiet musical elements, a bouncing bassline and guitar riff accompanying a piano lead and soon Reznor's melodic vocals. New melodies and changes join Reznor's choruses, but all of the layers seem muffled and distant throughout. The second verse is characterized by a unique sonic change only found in this NIN song: upon singing the last line of the verse, all the layers become much clearer, soon joined by a cheering crowd erupting as the second and final chorus begins. Reznor quietly and wordlessly accompanies the repeating final piano melody, which ends the song alone.
 
===Right Where It Belongs (Instrumental)===
'''''Running Time: 5:18'''''
 
Released exclusively through Apple Music.
===Right Where It Belongs V2===
'''''Running Time: 5:04'''''
 
This is an alternate version of the song, available on the UK and Japanese releases of ''With Teeth.'' More minimalistic than the original album version, it simply features a different vocal take accompanied by electric piano. Its structure and lyrics remain the same. This version is also available to download at [[remix.nin.com]].
==Live==
On the Fall 2005 and Winter 2006 legs of the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour, this song was the centerpiece of the 'slow section' of the concerts, as a curtain was dropped down in front of the stage, onto which video images compiled by Andrea Giacobbe were projected. It was always preceded by "[[Eraser]]" and followed by "Beside You In Time". The alternate V2 version was played very rarely on the [[NIN/JA Tour]].
