times where the demo version is better than the official/final version (any artist)

Recommended Posts

im listening to this demo and find it more emotional than the album version :cryney2:

 

theres also this one where its more of an unreleased explicit version rather than a demo but its included

 

nd the demo for this song is just all around better (different lyrics, slightly diff production etc)

 

as for lana,

This is THE definitive version of Silver Springs for me. The final version doesn’t do this song enough justice imo. The intensifying repetition of the last two lines really adds to the song and drives it home for me.

 

 

Spoiler

Also both of the Planets of the Universe demos and the Think About It demo from the Rumours deluxe version blow Stevie’s solo versions out of the water I’m sorry :toofunny:

The only Lana songs where I truly believe the demos are better than the original are Lolita and Lust For Life :true: For other artists though, as much as I love the Extraordinary Machine (Fiona Apple) that was released, the Jon Brion produced version of it is fucking incredible. I've been listening to a lot of Nirvana demos lately as well and I really love them

No Angel (SOPHIE Demo) - Charli XCX is miles better than whatever got released :true: I'm still mad about it to this day

As for Lana:

Lust For Life

Beautiful People

Next Best American Record

Lolita (But I still love the released version, it's just that the demo is even better)

Yeah, with the bridge sang by Troye, not the feature

 

And I was talking about the version with the alt. lyrics in the bridge :bebe: marina sang them live, so I assumed there must be a demo

this demo of crawling

 

the demo of "how can i" by charli eats the album version

 

& the sophie demo of after the afterparty

 

nowadays i tend 2 like bits and pieces of demos tht would've worked in the final song, whether it's lyrics, an added verse or instrumental changes

the album sampler just has a longer inst in the bridge and she kinda adlibs over it.

i prefer that to the album version :true:

Freak Like Me Too- even tho Freak is one of my favs

Dark Paradise (Demo 1 more)

Architecture

Lust For Life- pretty much all demos but especially the first that leaked

Young and In Love

Beautiful People (all of them)

So Good

 

Plenty that I can't choose from either, like which Lolita, Million Dollar Man, TIWMUG, Mermaid Motel,

And some where I prefer something in the demo, but not the whole demo overall- the Drive bridge > Ride bridge, and that Summertime Sadness demo where it goes heavy at the end. 

 

 

From other artists, one that really gets to me is how much better both Time To Dance demos by P!ATD are. Some Evanescence demos from Fallen that I think had better guitar, piano or electronic parts than the album versions too.
