The Day The World Went Away

On July 1st, 2016, Groundbreaking released a cover of 'The Day The World Went Away' from Nine Inch Nails' 1999 album 'The Fragile'. It shortens the atmospheric intro, and uses a single, clean guitar as opposed to the multiple layered guitars in the original. It replaces the bass from the verse with a piano. It shortens the small break between the verse and chorus, and omits the ascending mandolin riff. The chorus also includes a tom-driven drum beat similar to the one found in the "Still" version, as well as the one played live. The whole song seems to be recorded at a slightly faster BPM, and is a full minute shorter than the album version. '''I'd listen to the words he'd say But in his voice I heard decay The plastic face forced to portray All the insides left cold and gray There is a place that still remains It eats the fear it eats the pain The sweetest price he'll have to pay The day the whole world went away Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na, nah'''
