The Day The World Went Away (song) (view source)

In November 2000, a post was made to the forum at now defunct dirty.org, stating the following about the footage shot by Tomato for the original, unreleased version of the video:
<blockquote>"The video was black and white. I have seen rushes of it. It featured a funeral, Trent at the funeral (in the style of '"November Rain'"). I also saw footage of a black haired beautiful girl. She really did stand out, the other people had '"common' '" "nonspecific' " faces. It was Trent attending a funeral and seeing this girl. Then he follows her. That's about all I can remember. Trent thought it was too personal, because of the connection of the song with his grandmother. So that's why we never got to see it."</blockquote>
==Live==
"The Day The World Went Away" made its live debut on [[1999/11/14 Barcelona, Spain|November 14, 1999]]. It has been performed live regularly, but infrequently, since the [[Fragility]] tour started in 1999.
When performed live, the second half of the song is extended after the verse and the guitar progression. This extension seems to be modeled after the Quiet mix, but features a tom-driven drum rhythm as well as the guitar doubling the bassline in a higher register. This new section builds in intensity as melodic synthesizers and distorted guitars welcome in the wordless group vocals, eventually becoming more bombastic and louder until ending with two power chords. An example of this altered structure can be found on ''And All That Could Have Been''.
