Tegan and Sara - Like O, Like h DEMO

[hushsoundgirl]

Are you kidding me? The demo version is like a billion times better, this is too amazing, I love this.

[coolbrandon92]

I just bout their "complete recollection" albulm and my opinion is mixed, I like the rawness of the demo song bit in my purchase it had videos on how the took the demo into the final "the con album". And I am very satisfied on the outcome of each song.

[TheSnoopy1750]

@coolbrandon92 I just downloaded the "Get Along" album on iTunes as I love their acoustic live versions.

Well worth the price IMHO and a way to get my T&S fix until their new album comes out.

[coolbrandon92]

@TheSnoopy1750 IMHO? And I'm planning on getting that too, I really want to see the movies. And I was wondering if You knew if there was a record version of "Feel It In My Bones", because i can only find the acoustic and Tiesto version (which I love btw).

[TheSnoopy1750]

@coolbrandon92 Never heard a record version of FIIMB, at least one from iTunes - I too love the Tiesto (youtube video)

I downloaded "Get Along" off iTunes. I live in Manhattan but missed the 2 showings because I heard about it too late (bummer).

[coolbrandon92]

@TheSnoopy1750 Wow that sucks, hopefully you will catch them whenever they're in NY again. Oh and good luck with all the craziness On NYE. Happy new years!

[AChivalrousMess]

I really wish that they would've kept the vocals to the demo and just added the drum part. Sara's voice in this just, kills you, you know?

[traceisgorgeous]

my sister broke my copy of this cd today...)': do you know anywhere to download it?

[sthprkbutterslovers]

whats with the acorns? hahaha i love this!!

[M0LLiiElaR0CKER]

I love this song so much<3

[Happydeadmonkey]

I love this. Can't you mail the album to me? I would love you forever :)

[The949080]

Tegan's songs are the ones that hook you and suck you in, but Sara's songs are the ones that last to me :) The Con was the first song I heard by them

[bestspelller]

Like Totally, Like Awesome. <3

[SikoNoriko]

@bestspelller Aye.

[blah3479]

this is soo much better that the studio version

[KELSCENE]

this song is so beyond.

[EepiczombieE]

This is my favorite out of all The Con demos. I really love that repetitive bass drum though, I wish it could have been more prominent in the final version.

[miaalessandra]

I like this demo but there is a lack of that bad ass drum part

[HeGotThoseHonestEyes]

i dont get the meaning of this song, can someone explain it to me?

[zjg00bz]

i think it was just about her childhood but im not really sure.

[sweeneytoddrox]

At one of their gigs they were talking about how when they were like 15 they were arguing and their Step-Dad literally unhinged their door.... so I think it may have a contributory factor about the whole take the hinges of the door but not really sure :/ x

[BeingStupid101]

"I was a happy kid and there isn't a sad, sad story to tell. But our parents got divorced when we were five, and I think I had a lot of anxiety when I was kid. I worried that I was sick a lot... So, the first part of the song definitely is about me being a bit of a troubled kid, worried and anxious about things. But a lot of that was inside, like how I imagined myself when I was a little kid, 'cause I know that a lot of people didn't see me like that. . .

[BeingStupid101]

. . .And then, as a teenager I was a brat, for sure. We grew up in a tough neighborhood, and we sort of took on a lot of that attitude that comes with being around a lot of tough kids. I don't think we were bad, but definitely in junior high and highschool... The second part of the song is about that time in my life."

[rOkstarxx]

i just knew that the "tegan and sara" title was "growing" if you'd like to call it that.. i swear, i thought my mind was playing tricks lol

[ElectricFizzPop]

i like Tegan's song better. Not that i feel Sara's are bad... <3

[shhkdd]

im the oppisite i like sara;s songs better. Not that i feel Tegan;s are bad

[48Ender48]

I'm impressed with myself lol. I could never quite figure out what she was playing in the chorus off the album version cos there's so much stuff going on but I pretty much got it right! How good am I? lol. The chorus riff sounds very similar to the riff in Wrists. Weird tuning.

[briannaxdarling]

I was thinking that the chorus sounds like the riff in Wrists, too. Maybe it's the same one?

[AbominablePoppy]

I prefer this version to the studio.

[lfabrega]

does anyone know what type of guitar sara plays on this song? is she playing a dobro style resonator?

[48Ender48]

Im guessing it's the one she uses in The Con movie.

[xJessie181x]

I much prefer this one to the studio version. I find the studio version to sound really annoying.

Seems like most of Sara's demos are better than the studio versions (At least the ones I've heard so far).

Love it.

[RainzJay]

they make the best demos i have ever heard! good lord.

[sexyemogirl1010]

i luv this song

[xxEthsxx]

i like saras songs better !i mean i do love tegans songs as well but saras songs always get more in my heart

love TnS

[bajoink0]

yeah same here, but I usually favor saras song, but im in love with tegan haha

[xxEthsxx]

im in love with sara and i love saras songs

but tegan is awesome too

sara is so cute !!!

[xxJehha]

does anyone else just imagine Sara sitting in her closet recording this amazing demo? :D

[chandralenoree]

looove this song, i got shiverrss from it.

[shexxwouldntxxlast]

This was the first song I ever heard by them. =)

[moonyklecks]

i want them to come to GERMANY too!

[NotToThink]

I WANT EM TO COME TO GERMANY! please... ._.

[Vyxihd]

The Con is the best album I've ever purchased. =D

[ItsBetterWithToast]

hopefully in two months we'll be saying the second best :), i completely agree - best album ever.

[renewong32]

anyone know the story behind this song ?

[Kate1157]

Sara wrote it about growing up

[pinkyoodle12]

i heard sara say it's about when she was on acid.

[katinlove]

on acid??

jnaaj

[groovygavin254]

it's about hiding things from your parents (like acid).

[gliteranddisaster]

@renewong32

She said it was about what kids do behind closed doors without their parents knowing along with growing up.

[abbyxatrophy]

tegan and sara are genius. i absolutely love this and all of their songs. :]

[bettyn2girls]

:/....this kind of reminds me of me

[samanthadtf]

love<3

[jesskiddn]

ah

i love this song

and i love

love

love

love

this version !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rebethehedgehog]

'Like steel in my palm.'

'Like lead in my feet.'

This is my favourite song from now on :D

Becaause Sara is just soo unbelievabley cute.

Maybe she'll come to my birthday party and play it for me! :D

Or maybe not..

[leximore44]

meow

[ThornellianKingdom]

I love their songs, like to me theyre songs are "unisex" anyone can relate to them.

Plus, they arnt al mainstream and their lyrics arnt all the same about sex and all that.

<33TandS. (:

[mizzdurdadur12]

i love how she says "like o like h in your gut"!! and when she says "oh oh sugar spell it out"!! =]]]] <3333

[Apheliac]

I love this version muchly.

The other one is smoother, but this one is cutely insaner. XD

[baylerz24]

i wish i had this cd.

[AirrickakaEric]

i kinda like this version more than the one on the actual cd

[baylerz24]

Is this on a cd?

[Kate1157]

Yeah, Tegan and Sara sold only a limited amount to raise money for a charity that was set up because their lawyer (&friend I think) passed away.

[TashaP1987]

I like how Sara enunciates her words in this version. Also she sounds like she's mad. I dunno. This song makes me get a feeling in my gut like I have been wronged or something. Makes me feel like I need retribution.

[Kate1157]

thanks for the comment :-)

i agree, there is a lot of emotion in the song - which makes it all the better i think!

[sammy89789]

They have uniquely great voices! Sarah's SOS sounds amazing. It haunts me.

[Footygirl108]

Sara's S.O.S's went straight through me, aaaaaahhhhh sounded so good!! PERSONALLY

[MIKAYLA010595]

OHHH O OHHH LIKE H IN YOUR GUT!

[Ljordan93]

i love this song!!

Tegan and Sara are amazing!!

[MIKAYLA010595]

love this song so much!!!

[JCampRestored16]

Sara has such a beautiful voice <3

[a94res]

the demos are so amazinggggg

when sara says S.O.S it makes me melt :)

and is it just me or does she like pronounce her words differently in this version??

she seems to sound 'em out more i think

[heatherheartsriverp]

hahah i sorda noticed that too.

[bornadisaster911]

the 'SOS' part is so cute in this version.

its kinda off the beat, but fits in perfectly.

and she sounds so adorable!

and yea she definitely is pronouncing her words differently. more articulate. i noticed that in beginning.

[llamaguitarist]

Well in the Con DVD Sara talks about how Ted made a drum loop for this song, but she couldn't just put it on cause she didn't record with a metronome. And how she spent 7 hours trying to fit the drum loop in. haha.

[Zaw17]

This girl is amazing. Her voice is so sothing. its lovely<3 Love itt

[bryar23]

Lol ... 2 girls... twins :)

[notashockingsn]

i'm guessing it's just sara on this track though, it makes sense that would do the backing for her own demo. Especially as they only really began singing on each others recordings in studio for this record.

[GlindasBubble]

I think this is the best demo out of all of them. Absolutely enrapturing. I can't stop listening to it.

[ffets]

oh i love sara's voice...its so sweet sounding!

[filthyveganpunk]

this song gives me chills. it's just so amazing that it's like hard for me to grasp it. idk, i can just relate to it quite a bit.

[Resmekah1]

they even soundd adorablee,

it's a shamee that theyy livee in Canada!

[bornadisaster911]

shes so articulate in this song

i love it.

[Kijanawazhere]

Love this!

thanks so much :)

[princeton1100]

was this originally called sos?

[Kate1157]

Yeah I think I've heard Sara call it that before... like The Con Movie?

[Leperchan15]

yea i think they kinda use nicknames for there songs..or something liek tht :P..like they called The Con "Encircle me" and knife going in "KGI" and such..well not nicknamse..ike short versions of the names

[GlindasBubble]

This was originally called SOS and The Con was originally called Encircle Me, until they named the album The Con and changed the name of Encircle Me so they would have a title track.

[pajet23]

I absolutely love you for posting the demos!

[LLEBNAX]

ooo i love the like underground beat in this one..its really intense and has this sort of different affect on her vocals..but i think i prefer her vocals on the con..just the type of clarity..if i could mesh the two it would be perfect..no if they meshed the two it would be perfect my bad...

[Kate1157]

That would be soo cool :P

[xpressTIBETTE]

amazing thanks for posting it.they are really talented and amazing.

[XlittleXdrummerXgirl]

i like this version considerably better than the one on the album.

if they decide to release any more as singles, they should include the demo versions as b-sides or something.

[Kate1157]

Thanks for your comment! I looooove this version too :-)

And I agree, they should release more demos (imagine, like the Demos for So Jealous, Walking with a Ghost etc too?!). Man I'd feel like I'd died and gone to heavan if they did!

[XlittleXdrummerXgirl]

ah, yes, demos for any other albums would be the equivilant of dying and going to Tegan and Sara heavan

Partucarly if the demos and origional albums were released side by side

[MadamTampini]

I think they should re-release songs from their tape demos. I'm in love with "Here I Am" from their Yellow Demo tape. Maybe not "re-release" them, but make them easier to find maybe? The only song I've heard from a demo tape is "Here I Am".

[XlittleXdrummerXgirl]

that would be intense

I've heard some of their demo songs, but always on youtube in bad sound quality

[Kate1157]

I have their Red Demo and Yellow Demo songs - I've uploaded "Celebration" on youtube (from their Red Demo tape). I could upload more if you want?

[MadamTampini]

Hoooooooooly shit it would be so wonderful if you would do that! Thank you!

[rooting4you92]

i think i prefer the con version, but just by a little bit- they are both amazing!

[formyrecord]

Wow! This version was definitely really good.

I still can't get over that I'm listening to them. Listening to them before the finished product just feels much more intense. There is no doubt in my mind that the rawness in the voices and lyrics is perfect and amazing without having to be tinkered with in the studio.

[ImagineBIG]

Wow i really like this version, its super awesome

[NoGoodSoldier]

mucho tight.

way tight means rad or good I would assume.

that's what it means here anyways.

M.

[Kate1157]

thanks!

[gnasher]

hey can you please upload the rest of the demos or at least a few. i think this is way tite.

[Kate1157]

what's "way tite"? lol (where i'm from it has a negative meaning). And yeah i will upload some more :)

[gnasher]

lol im sorry, its a good thing. and thank you. t&s are great.

[Kate1157]

thank you :) i agree

[kutieboo]

what does it mean where you're from?? im curious lol.

[Kate1157]

It means like.... not fair

I think, lol. Along those lines anyway!
