"Past The Mission" was the fourth single from "Under The Pink". The fourth track on the album, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is featured on guest vocals. The live version of the song is availible on the first of two Past The Mission UK CD singles. The original version is availble on Under The Pink.

Tori On The Song:"With Past the Mission, there's hope. Past the mission, I smell the roses, and Trent sings on it. I wanted him to sing on it because of his energy. I love Trent's work. Past the Mission wanted him to sing on it. Past the Mission is a love story. It's kind of a strange one in that it's me again, still trying to find pieces that I've left other places. It kind of breaks my heart when I hear him sing with me, I once knew a hot girl. Where is she now? She can come back again. It's that same thing, where in Pretty Good Year and Past the Mission and Space Dog, where everything is reclaimable. ...there's also a bit of the Mary Magdalene/Jesus relationship in Past the Mission, because I was reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail at the time. It has a lot of thoughts. It's a very long book about a historical viewpoint on everything, with the Cathars and all that happened in the Pyrenees, and the Merevindian dynasty and the whole nine yards. It's an interesting read. It opened my mind up a bit. More than anything, it was the sexual relations, even if it's just with yourself, surrounding the oppression of the church, and that's where Past the Mission again -- it's really freeing to me, that song. I've always kind of -- there's no resolve, either."
-Baltimore Sun, 1994

"Directions were always interesting...'o.k. honey what you gotta do is you know the Wal-Mart? well keep going soon you'll see a road across from the chevron take a left and follow that road till you see a bright turquoisey painted bird house it's right after the creek at the bird house it's not the first dirt road but the second go on down past the mission and you wanna take a right and you can't miss it'"
-UTP Songbook.

On The Video: "Probably my favorite. Here I am taking Vanessa William's advice, saving the best 'til last. We filmed in Arcos, Spain. We were there 4 days. 2 days full shooting, 1 day in, 1 day out. My Mother flew in for this one and you can just imagine your mother surrounded by all these older Spanish Sweethearts. Working with Jake Scott was fascinating from my p.o.v. because although he was a young director it was so in his blood it was untrue. Karen and Leslie found the casting of the priest enough for a GOSSIP. Yes he was gorgeous as was. Wveryone -- the young girls one of the girls mother's -- the wee one -- helped us put the whole thing together. 4 Days of my life I will never forget. It changed my thinking about food, about passion ,about the commitment to art, to love - unfortunately not to learning to spill."
