Alan Cross from 102.1 CFNYFM The Edge in Toronto had this song "mysteriously show up" in his office. His description of this song is "Moody, slower. Great grind-y bass synth groove. A natural pick for a single!"[http://www.edge102.com/station/blog_ongoing_history_of_new_music.cfm?bid=8236]
A similar drum sound set and beat were used in a live reworked performance of "[[Reptile#Live|Reptile]]" with [[Peter Murphy]] in Boston, Massachusetts on [[2006/06/23 Boston, MA (Radio show)|June 23, 2006]]. While this song appears on ''[[The Definitive NIN - The Singles]]'', it was never released as a single or promo.

===The Good Soldier===
This is the original album version. Both the drum loop and bass riff that begin the song remain steady throughout the song, though the drums drop out to leave the filtered bass riff as a bridge to the song's coda. Its melodically-sung verses are backed by a distorted guitar riff that contrasts musically with the chorus, which features airy synthesizer pads. The ending adds a second bass riff on top of the first and a new guitar riff, also characterized by [[Trent Reznor]]'s wordless background wailing. Most of the layers eventually stop together, leaving the drum loop to repeat for four measures and lead directly into "[[Vessel]]."
