[[Trent Reznor]] explained the concept behind the album[http://nincatalog.com/printed-artwork/press-release-and-all-that-could-have-been-us-press-release-1620/] in a Q&A lifted from a press sheet:
<blockquote>"We did a radio show in Chicago where we did such songs as "The Fragile" and "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" that were stripped down, though it was not us with acoustic guitars, singing Poison songs. So I took those performances, and added some other ones we'd done in the studio, several new instrumental tracks, a new song called "And All That Could Have Been," and worked it into a heavily melancholic suite for a rainy, fall, Sunday afternoon."</blockquote>
Reznor has stated that some of the tracks on ''Still'' are evolutions of rejected themes that were originally written for [[Mark Romanek]]'s ''One Hour Photo.''[http://web.archive.org/web/20060106205140/http://www.nin.com/access/5_07_04/index.php] Romanek had to reject Reznor's work due to pressure from the studio, who wanted him to work with an established film composer.[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/dec/21/trent-reznor-dragon-tattoo-soundtrack]
