}}'''"Dead Souls"''' is a [[Cover Songs|cover ]] of a [[Joy Division]] song, frequently played live. It appeared in the 1994 film ''The Crow'' and was released on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crow_%28album%29 its 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 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 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. While this song appears on '' ===Song Credits===*Performed, produced and engineered by Trent Reznor*Assisted by [[The Definitive NIN - The SinglesChris Vrenna]]'', it was never released as a single or promo.

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.

This unmastered vocal-less mix was released by [[Trent Reznor]] through his [[remix.nin.com]] account.

"Dead Souls" made its live debut on [[1994/04/19 Seattle, WA|April 19, 1994]] and is a regular in setlists. In 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 "[[The Becoming]]" lyric, "god damn this noise inside my head," after the end of this song. It would then transition with the sound of wind into a performance of "[[Help Me I Am In Hell]]."
