}}'''"Dead Souls"''' is a [[Cover Songs|cover]] of a [[Joy Division]] song, frequently played live. It appeared in the 1994 film ''The Crow'' and was released on [http[wp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crow_%28album%29 The Crow: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack|its soundtrack]]. It was also the tenth track (before "[[A Warm Place]]") on the Japanese version of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' In 2004, it was included as the fifth track on the second disc of the 10th anniversary ''The Downward Spiral Deluxe Edition.'' While this song appears on ''[[The Definitive NIN - The Singles]]'', it was never released as a single or promo.
The Joy Division original was recorded in 1979 and released on their compilation album ''Still.'' In a 1993 post by [[Trent Reznor]] to the Prodigy internet service[http://www.nin-pages.de/chat_prodigy_1992.htm], he stated that [[Nine Inch Nails]] would probably be contributing two songs for ''The Crow'', one being "Dead Souls" and the other being unspecified. It is unknown if this song would have been a pre-existing track or something newly recorded.
