The Day The World Went Away (Quiet) Lyrics

I prefer this waaaaaaay more to the album version. Apparently the lyrics are about the death of his grandmother which makes this quiet version much better. I think Trent Reznor's singing is much more emotional in this version as well. The double-tracked yells in the background are a really nice touch, too. Just one thing I don't like: the minute long intro of na na na. With iTunes I just set it to start at 0:59.

I find it sadder than "Hurt," even "Hurt (Quiet)" haha.

My Opinion
