The Starting Line- Surprise, Surprise (Demo)

CIRCLE PIT!!!!!!!

Based On A True Story was overall better, but Say It Like You Mean it had some solid, solid tracks on it. These guys definitely matured as songwriters.

@roxyluv1621 both Tom and Mike are. Is that suppose to be weird?

D: i like this one better..and i'm just saying i lloooovveeeee kenny's hair like that<3 hehe but right? fuck Geffen -______-

[hatepearls]

i like the starting line and i hate cutting lyrics

[Videodude132]

Geffen was the label they were under (still might be)

He is upset because it's most likely that they had them change the lyrics. This version sounds much better has more meaning, and fits the title better. I was hoping the live version would be like the demo but unfortunately it wasn't :(

Also I recommend checking out Based on a True Story first before Say it Like you Mean It. Although the Say It Like you Mean it is Better I enjoyed listening to Based on a True Story First.

@Videodude132 they're now under Virgin Records and have been for about the past 3 years now. That's really not the reason why they didn't like Geffen. Geffen pretty much told them to go out and make Say It Like You Mean It part 2. The Starting Line obviously didn't wanna do that, so when they finally did put out Based On A True Story, Geffen pretty did nothing with it.

who is Geffen? sorry im a new listener of the starting line

[SignedAndDelivered]

@jwillmd Geffen was the starting lines record label for halve of based on a true story but now it not

[acceptancerockedmyso]

@SignedAndDelivered Geffen was The Starting Line's label for all of Based on a True Story. It wasn't until about a year after BOATS came out that the starting line parted ways with Geffen.

[imjake]

@jwillmd a label



[Videodude132]

Wow that's quite a bit of lyric that was cut.

That makes the song "Surprise, Surprise" make more sense as well. Damn them for cutting it out.

But thank you for posting this. This is awesome. I love hearing songs how they were meant to be heard.

[alphamarcaphi]

They should have stuck with this version of the song for the album. Fucking Geffen

[leejw00t354]

wow they took out that whole last chunk of lyrics in the release
