===The Day The World Went Away===
This is the original album version, found on both ''The Day The World Went Away'' and ''The Fragile.''
===The Day The World Went Away (Quiet)===
This is a very different version of the song. The structure was changed significantly, moving the chanting to the beginning of the song and featuring additional vocals by Kim Prevost. This remix was done by Trent.
===The Day The World Went Away (Porter Ricks mix)===
This dub remix done by Porter Ricks revolves around a thumping beat. The distant vocals can be heard beneath it.
===The Day The World Went Away (''And All That Could Have Been'')===The DVD version of [[''And All That Could Have Been]] '' featured this song as an Easter Egg. Unused clips from the scrapped video are merged with live performance footage. The CD version of AATCHB features this song in the regular playlist. ===The Day The World Went Away (''Still'')===A stripped down, acoustic version of this song was included on the ''Still'' album. ====Song Credits====*Performance: Trent Reznor, [[Robin Finck]], [[Danny Lohner]], [[StillJerome Dillon]], [[Keith Hillebrandt]]*Mix engineering: [[Alan Moulder]]*Engineering: [[Jon Lemon]], [[Chris Shepard]]*Second engineering: [[Leo Herrera]], [[Ron Lowe]] album.*Programming: Keith Hillebrandt
==Music Video==
This song is among the many Nine Inch Nails songs that have had a video scrapped. The video, which was partially finished, apparently showed images of a funeral. Parts of the video appeared as an Easter Egg on the live DVD ''And All That Could Have Been.''
The footage contains black-and-white footage of Reznor in a forest, and color images of a black kingsnake slithering in sand. It also includes Reznor standing in a room with his back to the camera and shows flowers, as well as a feather blowing in the wind. The second half of the video contains live performance footage of the band.
