Changes

}}'''"We're In This Together"''' is the fifth track on the Left disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' It was also released as a [[We're In This Together (halo)|single]], receiving the designation of Halo 15. According to [[Keith Hillebrandt]], the "whole song started from something (Reznor) actually played at the end of another track. He wrote it up into an entirely new song." [http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart78.shtml] [[Trent Reznor]] commented on the creation of the song in a VIVA 2 Magazine interview:<blockquote>"When I wrote that song it was one of the last songs for the record. I like the obviousness of the track but I was fearful of the obviousness of the track and in a record that I think is pretty dense and somewhat challenging to get through, I didn't want a song that was too obviously the hit single. Of all the tracks on that album I think that was the hardest to arrange and mix, because if it was mixed poorly, it sounded too obvious in the context of the record, and at this point we were very aware of the context of the record. So what I learned from the process of doing that was the vocal track I would have thrown out that was out of tune and my voice was breaking up was the one that I needed to use, because it added a desperation that made the whole mood of the song feel right."[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xint52.shtml]</blockquote>

This is the original album version, found on ''The Fragile'', yellow and green discs of ''We're In This Together'' and Australian ''Into The Void.'' Beginning out of the ending of "[[The Wretched]]" with a machine-like, rhythmic sound collage, it builds in volume and intensity but stops to introduce the main rhythmic thrust of the song, a distorted and staccato guitar riff that runs through all of the verses. After the drums and wah guitar enter, Reznor begins yelling the first verse abrasively. The chorus is driven by loud, distorted and constant guitars and live drums accompanying more melodic and higher-pitched yelling by Reznor. After a second verse and chorus, a driving bridge featuring a wah guitar solo and walls of fluent guitars leads into a final chorus. A descending guitar riff from this chorus continues through the mellow coda of the song, a section which also shares the three-note motif used in "[[The Great Below]]" and the piano theme motif of "[[La Mer]]." It eventually gives way to the opening e-bow guitar line of "[[The Fragile (song)|The Fragile]]." On the vinyl version, the segue from "The Wretched" (in the beginning) is removed; on the singles, the song is completely cropped from segues at the beginning and ending. An alternate version of the introduction was indexed separately and titled "[[Missing Places]]" on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1.''

'''''Running Time: 6:50''''' Released exclusively on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1'', this version does not contain its original intro and is instead placed after an alternate intro entitled "Missing PiecesPlaces".

The [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video ]] for this song first aired in 1999, and was directed by [[Mark Pellington]]. It shows [[Trent Reznor]] and an army of black-clad people running frantically through empty buildings, streets, and eventually a desolate field where everyone except Reznor had disappeared. The video was filmed on location in Guadalajara, Mexico. Two different edits of the video were made: the version released to video outlets, and an extended version edited by Mark Pellington. The extended version, clocking in at nearly 8 minutes, also features an extended intro unique to the video.

Although "We're In This Together" is was released as a single, it was not performed live until the [[Performance 2007]] tour. This song is performed in a lower key, presumably due to the vocal strain required to sing it as it appears in the album.

The song debuted at on [[2007/02/11 Lisbon, Portugal|February 11, 2007 in Lisbon, Portugal]], and was played at (at least) three other showsthroughout the European spring leg. It has not been performed since.
