It's best known for it's very tribal rhythms , recognizable by its electronic tom-based drum beat and distinctive slap bassline, though the original only NIN song containing that playing technique. Its mood was altered from its happier form on ''[[Purest Feeling (halo)|Purest Feeling]]'' to a darker, uneasier one for ''Pretty Hate Machine.'' [[Trent Reznor]] has said the song is about a "relationship with a crack pipe." ===Song Credits===*Production: Trent Reznor, John Fryer*Engineer/Mix: John Fryer ==Appearances=====Halos===*''Pretty Hate Machine''===Seeds===*''[[The Definitive NIN - Deep Cuts]]''*''[[Live 2013 EP]]''===Video Games===*''[[Rock Band|Rock Band 3]]'' (available for download) ===Other===*''Purest Feeling''*''[[Demos and Remixes]]'' ==Versions=====Sanctified===The album version of the song was apparently much brighterbegins with a programmed drum beat featuring prominent toms and atmospheric sounds created by guitar. A darker The body of the song is dominated by a slap bassline atop this atmosphere was given to it and drumloop, joined by strumming guitars for the chorus. The bridge features Gregorian chant [[samples]] and dialog from the film ''Midnight Express'', though the film sample was excised on the 2010 remaster of ''Pretty Hate Machine''. The end of the song is comprised of a synth pad and a guitar drone (created by [[Richard Patrick]]), accompanied by another sample, which lower in pitch and winds down, segueing directly into "[[Something I Can Never Have]] version. The " On the 2010 remastered vinyl edition, this song appears to be about sex with a woman who ends the first side; as such, the ending sample is removed, and the protagonist descending synth pad fades out. ===Sanctified (''Live 2013 EP'')===Recorded live at [[Trent Reznor2013/08/02 Chicago, IL|Lollapalooza Festival 2013]]. ===Sanctified (''Purest Feeling'') ===The second track on ''Purest Feeling'', the song begins with a shouted four count with drumsticks before hitting into the song. Though the beats and bassline are identical, the song is crazy about but played slightly faster and all the effects are at a higher octave, giving it a much brighter mood. The samples in the song are also much louder than in the version on ''Pretty Hate Machine.''  Sample in the bridge: Old Man: "He wants to give it a try right now. Give it a try right now!" *car starts* Old Man: "Doesn't that feel good? Now you're ready to go! Hey there? Ready to get in there and get the job done! Live is great! Life is terrific! Thank you God, for another wonderful day." There is deathly afraid also one minor lyrical change in the last couple oflines.

*His screams fade off into the guitar drones which contain more samples, which segue directly into the next song on the album, "[[Purest Feeling]]*[[Purest Feeling II]] (demo)*[[Pretty Hate MachineMaybe Just Once]]".

===VersionsSanctified (Demo)===Present on the ''Demos and Remixes'' bootleg, it has the same tone as the ''Pretty Hate Machine'' version while including some alternate samples, including a shortened version of the "Old Man" sample in the bridge, a few odd noises not present in the final version (such as the "reeeeeeeeeee" at the beginning of the bridge), the alternate lyric at the end, and an odd sample at the very end which concludes with a man saying, "You'll see your life begin to change."

*Sanctified (Purest Feeling Version)==Live==*Following the [[Pretty Hate Machine Tour]], "Sanctified " was not played again until the [[Dissonance]] tour, where it featured heavily. After the [[Nights Of Nothing Tour]], the song was not played for 17 years until it was resurrected and played (Demoas an altered version)*Sanctifiedthroughout the [[NIN 2013-2014]] tour. During the [[Tension 2013 Tour]], it featured backing vocals by [[Lisa Fischer]] and [[Sharlotte Gibson]]. Beginning with the 2014 tour, the song was played to a backing track so [[Ilan Rubin]] could play bass.

===Song Credits===*Production: Trent ReznorDuring the Nights Of Nothing shows, the breakdown of the song included the lyric, "please, God, save me." Elements of "[[John FryerPlease]]*Engineer/Mix: John Fryer" and "[[Sunspots]]" have been interpolated into the reworked live 2013-present version. Namely, the line "just like now" from the former being whispered at various intervals, and the latter's synthesizer lead (or "blender sound") featured towards the end of the song.

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispelldispel

Well she knows exactly what i I can't resist

Sanctified has been a rarely played song since The following audio sample from the 1978 film ''[[wp:Midnight Express (film)|Midnight Express]]'' can be heard at 3 minutes 19 seconds on the original studio version (but not the Pretty Hate Machine tours2010 remaster): Dear mom and dad, though when This is the hardest letter I've ever had to write. I'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about it is played, an extended intro is usually played during which Trent addresses but that just isn't possible now. I don't know what's going to happen, but what can I say to you? Will "I'm sorry" make a difference? Will it ease the audiance pain? The shame you must be feeling? Forgive me, please.
