[[Image:Still cover.jpg|thumb|Halo 17 CD2: ''Still'']]

'''''Still''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 17 CD2]]''''' or ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]: Still''), released on January 22, 2002, is both an individual [[Nine Inch Nails]] release and the second disc of the deluxe edition of ''And All That Could Have Been''. It contains original instrumentals and songs as well as stripped down versions of old songs. The old songs are done in the manner of similar ones performed at the [[The CRC Sessions]].
==Track Listing==
<blockquote>We did a radio show in Chicago where we did such songs as "The Fragile" and "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" that were stripped down, though it was not us with acoustic guitars, singing Poison songs. So I took those performances, and added some other ones we'd done in the studio, several new instrumental tracks, a new song called "And All That Could Have Been," and worked it into a heavily melancholic suite for a rainy, fall, Sunday afternoon.</blockquote>
Reznor has [[:Image:2004_05_07Questions1.gif|stated ]] on [[nin.com/access]] that some of the tracks on ''Still'' are evolutions of rejected themes that were originally written for [[Mark Romanek]]'s ''One Hour Photo.''[http://web.archive.org/web/20060106205140/http://www.nin.com/access/5_07_04/index.php] Romanek had to reject Reznor's work due to pressure from the studio, who wanted him to work with an established film composer.[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/dec/21/trent-reznor-dragon-tattoo-soundtrack]
The title may be referencing the [[Joy Division]] album of the same name, from which their song "[[Dead Souls]]" - covered by [[Nine Inch Nails]] NIN during ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' era - comes. The album was originally intended to be called ''Quiet''[http://www.flickr.com/photos/10729782@N03/4638360700/in/set-72157624007552825/], a name that was later reflected in ''[[The Definitive NIN - Quiet Tracks]]''. The overall ''And All That Could Have Been'' release was dedicated to the memory of Rodney Robertson, a close friend and employee of Reznor's who was murdered in 2001. Reznor was too deep in his addictions to attend Robertson's funeral, and he saw this as the impetus to fully get clean and sober.[https://www.spin.com/2013/08/nine-inch-nails-trent-reznor-cover-story-spin-2005/]
