It appeared in the 1994 film ''The Crow'' and was released on ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crow_%28album%29 The Crow Soundtrackits soundtrack].'' It was also the tenth track (before "[[A Warm Place]]") on the Japanese version of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' In 2004, it was included as the fifth track on the second disc of the 10th anniversary ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral Deluxe Edition.'' While this song appears on ''[[The Definitive NIN - The Singles]].'', it was never released as a single or promo.

The Joy Division original was recorded in 1979 for and released on their compilation album ''Still.''In a 1993 post by [[Trent Reznor]] to the Prodigy internet service[http://www.nin-pages.de/chat_prodigy_1992.htm], he stated that [[Nine 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. In commentary for ''The Crow'' with producer and musical supervisor Jeff Most, it is revealed that Nine Inch Nails were originally supposed to perform in the film instead of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. ===Song Credits===*Performed, produced and engineered by Trent Reznor*Assisted by [[Chris Vrenna]]

"Dead Souls " is often considered to be about a schizophrenic man, as evidenced by the lyric "A a duel of personalities" and the other lyric "They they keep calling me".

*''[[The Definitive NIN - The Singles]]''

This version is on both the ''The Crow'' soundtrack and both the Japanese and 2-disc Deluxe Edition 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.
