Jan 7 - The Great Collapse


"The Great Collapse" is from Things Falling Apart or Halo 16 and is the second song on that album. This was originally recorded for The Fragile album but did not make the cut. This is also an original composition and not a remix as most people think. Again, the percussion driven pulse drives this song. And the guitar that starts at 3:19 just gets me... LOVE it.

Also all the whispering vocals were done by Trent Reznor but altered to sound female. The only lyrics are "Now you know, This is what it feels like" which is a lyric from "The Wretched" but is not a derivative of that song.

The best way to describe this song is this: Blast this at full volume while driving through the mountains in California with the windows down and sunroof open. Pure pleasure!
