about this song
"The Wretched" is the fourth track on the Left disc of The Fragile. The bridge of the song contains a sample of radio interference often confused with whispered lyrics. It can be heard more clearly in Keith Hillebrandt's remix of the song on Things Falling Apart. Characterized by a simple drum machine loop and a low-octave piano melody backed by deep atmospheric synthesizers, the verses feature Trent Reznor spitting out the vocals, soon joined by a distorted guitar melody.
