"Weak and Powerless" is the first single by the Alternative Rock band A Perfect Circle, from their second album, Thirteenth Step, and is also their highest charting single to date, reaching #1 on both the Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks.
[edit] Remixes
One of the most prominent aspects of "Weak and Powerless" is its various layers of clean guitars and vocals, which build the relatively soft yet highly active verse into a powerful chorus. A remix of the song was made, entitled "Weak and Powerless (Tilling My Grave Mix)" and featuring instrumentation by Danny Lohner, Wes Borland, and Josh Eustis. This version is significantly heavier than the album version and was featured in the soundtrack to Underworld and The Invisible.
[edit] Video
The music video features a nude woman with long, white hair, as seen in various artwork for the album, crawling through the woods and collecting various animals and insects. The commentary by Maynard James Keenan provided for the video stated the model's name as Tanya, a woman who had never done this type of work before. There are two versions of the video; edited and unedited. In the unedited version the woman's breast and pelvic areas are clearly visible. These areas of the body are darkened and blurred for the television version and the scenes are sped up. Various camera and computer effects are used throughout the video. The video saw significant airplay upon release and is included on the aMOTION DVD/CD.
