}}'''"The Great Collapse"''' is the second track on the 2000 release ''[[Things Falling Apart]],'' which is the remix album complementing 1999's ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' Like "[[A Violet Fluid]]" on 1994's ''[[March Of The Pigs (halo)|March Of The Pigs]],'' this track has mistakenly been called a remix when in fact it's an original composition. In this case it has been alleged to be a remix of "[[The Wretched]]", when in fact all they have in common is a repeated lyric. It was initially recorded for ''The Fragile'' but didn't make it onto the album, information released as confirmed by [[Trent Reznor ]] via the ''Things Falling Apart'' promotional website (no longer active).
The vocals appear to be altered to sound female, as a video released during the era on nin.com shows Reznor recording the same vocals, with the beat from this song audibly present in the background. As well, there is no album credit for additional vocals. However, in an online chat for ''SPIN'' in 2000[http://www.nin-pages.de/chat_spin_21_11_00.htm], a fan asked if there was a female singer on the track and Reznor stated that, "It's not me. So, yes there is. Let's leave it at that. Check your ''Fragile'' credits. It's the same person." This could be referring to either Denise Milfort or Kim Prevost.
