Background

Silent So Long version

• The song features the singer Marilyn Manson.
• In a track-by-track video series, Richard commented this about the song:

I asked Marilyn Manson to sing the vocals on this song and his response was,

"They sound cool as is. But I can put my stank on them."

And that he did.

The Persistence of Memory version

• The song was reworked and is completely sung by Richard himself.
