In early January 2017, a remix of David Bowie’s I Can’t Give Everything Away known was the “Farewell Mix” appeared on Soundcloud by an account called ‘thisisthenumbernineteen’ to coincide with the one year anniversary of David Bowie’s death. The remix is no longer available on Soundcloud but has currently been reuploaded to YouTube

Rumours immediately came to light that this was indeed a Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross reworking as the track feels quite similar to their soundtrack work but it wasn’t until the first live show of the “I Can’t Seem To Wake Up Tour” in 2017 at Bakersfield that the track was finally acknowledged by Trent and confirmed to be his creation.

The studio version only features David’s vocals whilst the live version features Trent’s vocals for the first verse and then eerily blends in David’s vocals for the final verse and chorus. The track was played throughout the “I Can’t Seem To Wake Up 2017 Tour” and was originally going to be retired after their set at Robert Smith’s Meltdown Festival, likely due to the emotional difficulties performing the song, but was later brought back for the “Cold, Black and Infinite Tour” as well as the live debut of “This Isn’t The Place”, another tribute from Trent to Bowie.
