Melanie Martinez

The Tunnel was recorded in the After School era (early 2020; around the same time as the leaked "Womb" demos and those other songs) but is super Portals-sounding lyrically and was likely an early concept for the album. In the lyrics, you'll notice Melanie playing around with a lot of themes relating to it.

That makes sense then. Is it true this version is edited with multiple versions of the song ?

Portals really aged poorly :smh: the demos are so good


The only album that aged well in terms of production is cry baby I don’t understand why  she completely changed sonic direction after that

I used to like her so much but still didn't listen to her latest album :toofunny:. It  was disheartening to read all the fan reactions basically saying the official version of songs sucked, and the demos are far superior. At the same time I did not have the energy to track down the demos for each of the songs on the album so in the end I just didn't listen to any of them. Because what is the point of listening to the official album if it's just a poor version of the demos that are out there somewhere?

I would say give it a listen, you have nothing to lose. After that, listen to Portals Sessions and decide if the demos are better or not

 

ps: the deluxe songs are a slay

it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. i just don't think humans/technology/internet fit into this universe she tried to create at first (and this is the second video where she's using it). like i get that's the message of the song and melanie has never been subtle but at least she used to be creative with the metaphors. she could've incorporated the idea without using actual phones imo. it's too on the nose

 

i just don't get how she was supposed to make a film out of this album? there's no story, the videos are all disconnected to each other and nothing's happening in them. i also don't understand why melanie is the only non human character yet no one seems to be scared of her? wasted potential all around imo

 

not worth the 6 month wait imo considering it was filmed over a year ago
