AFI - Paper Airplanes (AFI DEMO Recording)

[Beast6170]

I love this version way better than the one on the Sing The Sorrow album.

[GuyNicknamedFille]

0:28 "and we'll smell some perfect hay" ???

[DomMenace226]

@GuyNicknamedFille POT!

[FeelingFreshSon]

this one doesn't feel so compressed...there's more "space"

I like it more...kind of, also there's no stupid BEEP in the chorus

[MoreThanEclectic]

This is beautiful. Simply great.

[Abercrombieand1Bitch]

do they say "raped by monolithic?" I know that not reasonable, but fuck it sounds like that

[XxPromisesBrokenxX]

@Abercrombieand1Bitch XD Raise high monolithic statues.......but it does totally sound like that....

[Upwithlife123]

I kinda like the cd version better.

[337Alexander]

Yes this version is way better than the one on the record. It sort of sounds like the old AFI in the chorus.

[ThroughLidlessEye]

the chorus sounds completely different. i like it. the simutaneous singing and screaming of he album version was a little chaotic

[Wafflepopword]

Ya know, I'm hesitant to say I like either one better, just because they are SO different. The chorus sounds like something from Black Sails in the Sunset, which was great. And the bridge was very Art of Drowning, just because they kinda let it all fall apart and then crunched back up for the chorus.

But, I'll confess I very much like this version. To me, it's like hearing an AFI song I've never hear before, shich is fun.

[Sixpog]

Personally I like the cd version more, but it is cool to hear a different version of it, and to hear what the song originally was

[helloieatchicken]

awewome! love the demos even more than the original

anyone have demos of despair faction?  my fav song!

[DomMenace226]

YES!!!!

[miyukiZETA208]

me encanto!! AFI ES LA NETA!!!



[famousitykills]

This is still absolutely amazing, but I have to admit I like the chorus melody in the studio version better. It flows with the verses better.

[xAuthorUnknownx]

Wowowow!!!! This is amazing. I can't decide whether I prefer this version or the album version. I like both equally, I think.

And yay for Jade singing! <3

[goldphishez]

i got thrown off REAL bad lol i tried to sing along and got lost there for a while!!

[commlink101]

Wow, this is the best sounding version on youtube, and it's the demo, lol.

[thx4thevenom]

Wow, that chorus threw me off. I do prefer the STS one, but this is pretty awesome.

[spyhunter1223]

oh.... i miss this voice

he still uses it, just not ON ACTUAL ALBUMS! check out the bleed black live 09 edgefest footage. better vox than the album

[Greywolf717wp]

That was insane!!! I like both versions of the song but, I do like to see something done differently.

[1Jennyver]

woow, this version is even better

[ohshittkailaaa]

I love how the guitar sounds. I almost like this version better(:

[sampyree]

i love this version, but i prefer the STS chorus

[ominousXstorms]

Wow, this went in a different direction on the chorus. I don't know which one I like better.

[Deathless1One]

i like the refrain better in the album version, but i like the main parts in this version a bit better, but overall id have to say the album ver was better

[Satochan123]

I like this version much better than the album version. I'm super excited for Crash Love, too.

Hopefully it won't be such a disappoint like DU.

[xKidXHavokx]

I LOVE the c.d. version but this version is SO much better... the c.d. version is TO produced... I noticed that whenever they over produce anything by AFI you can't really understand wtf Davey is singing most of the time! And I always thought he did that on purpose or couldn't control that! LOL

[Zelixleo]

God this version fucking rules..personally i dont like this song on STS but this version is f'awesome!!!

[BreValintine]

mp3?!

[dash5775]

seems like no matter what afi does i'm always going to love it haha. they never disappoint me and i hope they don't.

[Jonathanism1]

@dash5775 im sure once in their life afi tried to screw up as a joke, but they just cant.

[psychomidget482]

i dont think itsthat the chorus is bad, it just seems to skip into the chorus so it sounds a little weird

[FoxMulder101]

when this chorus come the song loses its balls. Good demo btu the album ones sicker. Afi rocks.

[MiseryParapluie]

the chorus is weird, but if i'd get used to it, i could maybe like it? the demo version by itself isn't bad.

[APutridRomance]

I'm so glad they changed the chorus for the record. This one just didn't fit the song as well. But it is still catchy

[Slooter93]

the picture thingy gets bigger!

[Paynekill]

I really like this. Not quite as much as i like the refurbished one, but still really interesting to hear.

[xenogis]

People think the chorus is bad but I think if they'd of polished it more and given it a cleaner sound it would be way better than the new version

[spyhunter1223]

yeah, like the screams on here on more frequent and more enjoyable. rip it to your ipod so you can revel in it everyday. that's what i'm gonna do. lol

[JeTbLaCkLoVe]

Hm, everyone hates the chorus so much in this song, but I actually like it. The melody's rad. :P

[Devoted2Mariah]

I like the chorus better on the demo. I like all the demos better except for but home is nowhere. Only because Davey clearly needed studio help. lol

[InstantDrop]

So raw... So amazing. :]

[xblaqkaudioxafix]

can i get this actual song somehow? ? ? i want it for my ipod sooo bad! and same with Synesthesia's DEMO and This Celluloid Dream's DEMO!!! omg!!!!

[ldiablo233]

background vocals are amazing, sounds like jade but hunter does have a voice on him if you've seen his band.

[profitprophet368]

forever will remain

from below

in my seclusion

look up to the sky to see

wings

and watch them burn.

[TreeFighter5000]

everything else almost sounds better but the chorus, the chorus is shit compared to the original

[eduardosn01]

Awesome version, but i've got one question:

I can't understand very well the chorus backing vocal lyrics, can someone please put it here? I've already search it and I just can't find =\

[mendobrawler22]

woo there from my home town!!!

[mellonxcollie]

I like the rough sound of this demo more, but I like the chorus they went with for the album version more.

Of course, the rough sound is only cause it's a demo, but it sounds cool. Sounds raw.

[killingxxlights]

I love the vocals of this =].

&hearts; AFI

[AxFireXInsidex336]

if anyone wants this recording message me on youtube and provide your msn, i will e mail it to you

[XtheligatureX]

woahh,

I like this version better than the one on the album.

they should have kept it the same,

But the one on song the sorrow is still GREAT!

But you really should tell where you got this,

So much greatness can't be kept to one person!

SHARRRE THE LOVVE!

:D

[SurpentineSacrifice]

fully agree, this version is better, but maybe its because it is new to us?

[that1gurl7]

Who's singing in the background at "Id stop it had you a heart.." ?

[celluloidxdreams]

It could very well be Jade. He plays and can sing some phrases while he plays.

[that1gurl7]

Awesome...He's really hott.lol

[MidnightxxxRunner]

or it could be Hunter as in some songs he does were I'm assumeing Jade can't (what with playing the guitar part and all)

[that1gurl7]

This is so freakin cool.They rock no matter what! lol

[thetruerater5]

the courus sounds different.

[SurpentineSacrifice]

no it doesnt, its exactly the same, there is no change whatsoever! (if anyone didnt pick it up, that was totally sarcastic)

[pokepick]

i LOVE the harmony in this one!

[thoms667]

awesome, where did you get it ?

i can't find it anywhere ='(

[zdrax]

It's obvious this is a live demo recording with no mixing to speak of. You can clearly hear the mic bleed.

[MgSqueerO]

lol try playing both versions at the same time

[crustpunk]

thanks for uploading this, this demo really sucks though, this sounds like garbage compared to the great version that's on STS

[xGoMxMAGGOT]

whoah, i think i like this version more. thank you. i think this is the only song i don't really like on STS :P

[AFIownage]

wow

im so glad they put the other version on the album

im sure

if i heard this first

i would have liked it

but

beacause im so used to the other

this is just terrible

lol

thank god for afi changing their minds

[777xdanx777AxFxIx]

i love this song

[mikesxr600r]

omg thank you SOOO much!! could you send me this i love it!! the chorus is completely different.
