17. 10 Miles High - Nine Inch Nails

[@mattun]

I still can't believe this was left off the CDs.

[@StockAvuryah]

From TR and Alan Moulders mouths (loosely) : we loved it but it broke the flow of the album, and it was already too long

[@bl00dy_c4p3]

Sorry for replying to a 5 month comment but I’ve always thought this really fit, The New Flesh broke flow a bit but I easily think the song could have replaced Complication, and still served as the interlude slot even if it’s so much more than that

[@CastroEulis145]

Insanity!

[@rogue-like4life]

I was wondering why I didn't remember this version of the song... I remember it being on the remix album tho

[@PunchDrunkLizzy]

Okay, so that's why I can't remember it. Thought my dumbass 15 year old self kept skipping it back in the day or something haha.

[@captnpickles4601]

no wonder trent is now doing movie-soundtracks.

[@Freaky144]

Don't know what you mean by that but okay

[@raregod2436]

@@Freaky144 maybe he means about ghosts 5 and 6 because ghosts from 2008 was used in some movie, documentary

[@purpleytical1391]

@@Freaky144 his music is so good he makes music for movies

[@user-b3i2q]

He's amazing :) His sound is incredible. At least, I really like it. First time I heard his music in a soundtrack was the movie 300, in the movie theater. I instantly recognized his voice and his style of music, and I told my boyfriend at the time, "That's Nine Inch Nails!" but he didn't believe me. I remember being kinda upset that he didn't believe me. In my head, I was thinking: Dude this has been my favorite band for many years; of course I would recognize NIN when I hear it! 😁

[@mercedesguy8520]

The only band I know who can make three different songs from the same title

[@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786]

To be fair, at least one of the versions had a different name lol (Hello, Everything Is Not Okay)

[@humzaashraf4108]

so this is at the end of the mark has been made

[@sandwichsteen]

I can't imagine why it was taken out of the full album

[@CodyDBuni]

Tear it all down, tear it all down, tear it all down, tear it all down...

[@samcrooker4679]

Wish this song wasn’t left off the album... I know it’s one some versions... but i wish it was on all versions as it just works well with the themes of this album.

[@Arklelinuke]

Yeah they really should have cut Starfuckers if anything and left this one in. That's like literally the only thing that doesn't flow super well on the entire double album imo.

[@jaysharpESQ]

I just read on the nin wiki that everyone tried to convince Trent to keep it there... Lol. His compromise was to leave the little atmosphere bit at the end of the the mark has been made as a reminder it once was there. As a Songwriter and producer of albums (including BIG emphasis on the tracklist sequencing) i can actually relate and understand why one would want to do this. Still a great song though, Loved the remix on things falling apart remix CD back in the day. Thought that and Metal were th best things since sliced bread

[@the_prophet_micah93]

@@Arklelinuke but starfuckers is such a good song

[@jackjones8196]

It's on the vinyl

[@GazB85]

It was included on one or two of the three We’re In This Together CD’s and obviously the vinyl version of The Fragile. A remix. 10 Miles High (Version) was included on the Things Falling Apart album.

[@SonOfNone]

This exact version was on Things Falling Apart. They sound identical to me.

[@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786]

Although I prefer the Things Falling Apart version overall, I gotta say the original's ending with the much clearer crowd chants of "tear it all down" is much more bonechilling goddamn

[@theechothief5594]

Right? That shit cuts to the bone. It’s unnervingly brilliant.

[@neon_one]

wtf is this? why would they not put this on the cd. I would have appreciated it having listened to this album high on a bike

[@scaranogaryj]

Trent is so badass, he literally has to try to pick ones to cut so they fit on the cd!

[@Adrenolex]

its on the remix album "things falling apart" the rest is great too

[@robinsalario4372]

i think this is just a bit to load for the whole of the cd. and trent was a trying to get off the drugs.

[@deathbydeviceable]

Oh if you only knew

[@ernesttokes62]

@Zara for universal lord this is a reasonable facsimile.. it's a little more drawn out I like it better with the mix

[@emilyarmy6]

dude i was ready to play 10 miles high... and then you all ready had it in, right where it belongs... get it? beautiful job!

I love how everyone is like "boot out Star Fuckers" and put this one in. My people.

[@candleg72]

Yeah - Star Fuckers is ok. This is better. I feel bad for saying I don't like a NIN song!!!LoL!!!

[@jasonmoyer]

Starfuckers should have been a single. It's a great song. I never liked it on The Fragile, and after having it as a b-side on the first single I was surprised it made the album.

[@snootdoot3983]

Starfuckers is a good song. There was still room on right for this track + the new flesh. We lost out 🙁🙁🙁🙁

[@jasonmoyer]

​@@snootdoot3983 It's a good song, I just didn't think it fit really well with the rest of the album. I think it should have really been a single (instead of the first B-side) and The Fragile should have been one disc.

[@shujitsushima3]

Didn’t realize this wasn’t on the CD. I first listened to The Fragile on vinyl so I always was able to hear this

[@articguana1]

Sad! 😢

[@skii_7357]

genuinely sad this wasnt on the cd, would get the vinyl of this album if it wasnt so awfully expensive

[@articguana1]

Terrible expensive!😂

[@GazB85]

[@dk2853]

The repress isn't expensive, $45

[@lucasstierle7426]

I can hear some downward spiral in this one!

[@CaptainResident]

Lucas Stierle it was made in somewhat similar circumstances. Drug addiction, depression, and lack of confidence just like TDS.

[@StockAvuryah]

@@CaptainResident When TDS was recorded it wasn't a drug addiction, and when The Fragile was recorded Trent was clean. It went awry during the Fragility Tours. And in general, the drugs and alcohol consumption were bad during tours, not at all during album recordings. But yeah, it has an influence.

[@StockAvuryah]

@GeForced Thanks for sharing your interpretation of the album. It's wrong otherwise, though.

[@amyhulett2787]

It makes sense

[@ultrayoshi9657]

The ambient introduction actually has a slowed down sample of the ambient melody of the downward spiral

[@ALIENDNA14]

I'm going to get so high You'll never get inside I swore I'd never turn into you I'm closer all the time I made it ten miles high Can't tell my truth from my lies I swore to god I would never turn into you I'm getting closer... all the time Tear it all down Tear it all down Tear it all down Tear it all down Tear it all -

[@SurrealLemon]

Just causethats the first result when you google it doesn't mean its correct. Those lyrics are completely fucked. Just like if you search the lyrics to the downward spiral it gives you the lyrics for the downward spiral (the bottom)

[@MyEgoMyThoughts]

Holy fuck this shit is so fucking good, I didn’t even know this was on the album !!!

[@tylergenke7252]

Thank you for adding this to one of their albums

[@quack420]

this is one one of my favourite NIN tracks...

[@jellyfrosh9102]

just noticed you can hear the title track off the Downward Spiral in the first few seconds

[@CastroEulis145]

This song makes me like the right side a lot more. It changes the ratio of good songs to throwaway tracks on the right side. I’ve listened the fragile in its entirety only once and it’s because the right side always felt lacking after Please.

[@fakt7814]

Castro Eulis true. I found it strange that this song wasn't on CD, it's so much better than many songs in Fragile, like Piligrimage for example, that I found simply boring.

[@CastroEulis145]

fakt I thought everything in the left side was pretty damn good

[@jacobchristie5818]

@Damon Krause yeah bro haha everything is right where it belongs

[@joeyferguson840]

I still like the other 1 better. That has a better quality of music. I always grew up loving pretty hate machine and broken was my fav when I was younger but the first half of this album is so much better than this half......in my opinion anyway

[@rivalflash4569]

I think the album overall is very solid

[@maxeypad]

First time I heard this I was tripping balls. It all made sense lol.

[@schmidt969]

I swear I heard Trent sample the Downward Spiral at the start. I always love it when artists sample themselves.

[@lordjamesthesecond5817]

I tried killing myself back in 08 when I was in 8th grade with this song on replay nd ended up waking up on the verge of over dosing with this still playing nd this song used to haunt me. But now I love how I can enjoy it again nd listen to it as I please without feeling some kind of way. ❤
