== About =Song Credits==="'''Dead Souls'''" is the fifth track on the second disc of the 2004 special edition release of ''*Performed, produced and engineered by [[The Downward SpiralTrent Reznor]]''. The track first appeared in the 1994 film "The Crow" and was released on ''*Assisted by [[The Crow SoundtrackChris Vrenna]]''

== Appearances About==* The Joy Division original was recorded in 1979 and released as the B-side on their "Atmosphere" single. It also later appeared on compilation albums such as ''[[The Crow Soundtrack]]Still.''

=== Halos ===* ''In a 1993 post to the Prodigy message boards[http://www.nin-pages.de/chat_prodigy_1992.htm], Reznor stated that [[The Downward SpiralNine 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.

=== "Dead Souls ===The song " is often considered to be about a schizophrenic man, as evidenced by the lyric "a cover duel of a Joy Division track originally recorded in 1979 for their album personalities" and the other lyric "Stillthey keep calling me".

==Appearances=====Halos===* ''The Downward Spiral'' (Japanese edition and 2-disc Deluxe Edition) ===Seeds===*''The Definitive NIN - The Singles'' ===Soundtracks===* ''The Crow Soundtrack'' ==Versions=====Dead Souls===This version is on ''The Crow'' soundtrack and both the 2-disc Deluxe and Japanese editions of ''The Downward Spiral.'' It is reasonably faithful to the original, though it uses a slower tempo and has a much moodier feel. ===Dead Souls (Instrumental)===This unmastered vocal-less mix was released by Trent Reznor through his [[remix.nin.com]] account. ==Live=="Dead Souls" is a regular in setlists. On the [[With Teeth: Summer Amphitheater Tour]], [[Peter Murphy]] joined NIN on stage to sing this song at the live radio show on [[2006/07/01 Chicago, IL (Radio show)|July 1, 2006]], and at the last show of the tour on [[2006/07/08|July 8, 2006]]. On the [[Self Destruct Tour]], Reznor would sing a line from "[[The Becoming]]", "god damn this noise inside my head," at the end of this song. == Lyrics ==

that That point me to another day

and And mocking voices ring the hall
