Trivia/Info
- The main difference between this mix and the Pink Album version is that this mix uses entirely different samples for the drums and bass. Additionally, in the "I don't want to live in this world anymore" section, this version adds a bass synth that plays underneath Linnell's vocal. Overall, the instrumentation in this mix is a little more spaced out, and the mix contains more reverb.
