The track was nominated for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" at the 2008 Grammy Awards. [[Multitracks]] for this song were released in [http://remix.nin.com raw WAV format] via [[remix.nin.com]]. In December 2018, the song was sampled by rapper Lil Nas X on "Old Town Road" with [[Trent Reznor]] and [[Atticus Ross]] being given songwriting and production credits. "Old Town Road" went on to top the Billboard charts in the spring of 2019.

*Written by [[Trent Reznor]] and [[Atticus Ross]]

This is the only known version. The beginning follows a similar pattern of "[[28 Ghosts IV]]"; a mellow synth bassline begins the song, with a simple plucked banjo string riff. More banjos are layered on to create chords, and piano accompanies after a few measures. All of these layers cut off, replaced with a low ascending piano line very similar to the one that begins "[[The Persistence Of Loss]]". Brass horns play along with the piano riff, and unsettling plucked strings and a drone enter. The drone plays alone for a few seconds, when a distorted synth loop plays. A few synth layers join with simple filtered percussion. A drone begins to fade back in, and effected piano plays when a higher version of the synth loop enters. The higher synth loop, drone, and filtered percussion fade out, ending the song.
