Nine Inch Nails-The Day The World Went Away Music Video Stills
The video was unreleased supposedly due to it being too personal to Trent’s loss of his grandmother. These were found courtesy of The NIN Hotline Halo 99 page.
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:“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.”
The TDTWAA video didn’t/hasn’t leaked yet but little clips were used in an easter egg for And All That Could Have Been DVD. I don’t know how far they got filming with it but it mostly involved a funeral setting where Trent follows a woman in black somewhere likely the section of the video that was shown in the easter egg where it’s Trent floating in a room and there’s up-close shots of snakes.
There are other shelved music videos and concert stuff by Trent (including the Hurt video, Self Destruct Tour concert film the original Hand That Feeds music video, Everyday Is Exactly The Same, Everything, Tension DVD and even a few other things). Hopefully they’ll surface one day in a box set or a anthology thing at some point.
