It is a slow-paced, layered [[:Category:NIN Instrumentals|instrumental]] with an extended fadeout at the end.
In December 2005, Reznor granted a gratis license to an advertising agency to use the song in a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHXqbb8yVv4 public service announcement] to promote a mental health hotline for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. The piece shares its name with Reznor's former music publishing entity. A source for both uses of the name is potentially the film ''Pumpkinhead'', which features a sign using the phrase. Reznor and company noted the influence of horror cinema on previous works, adding to the likeliness of this source. = Meaning ==Song Credits===*Performance: Trent Reznor*Mix engineering: [[Alan Moulder]]*Engineering: Alan Moulder*Second engineering: [[Leo Herrera]]*Programming: [[Keith Hillebrandt]] ==Appearances=====Halos===*''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]'' (Deluxe Edition CD; 2002)*''Still'' (2002) ==Versions=====Leaving Hope===This is the only version available. ==Live=="Leaving Hope" [[NIN songs never played live|has never been played live]].
