Tegan and Sara are the definition of amazing. They have music that's just as awesome as their personalities on stage. This DEMO makes the song deeper than it already is, because you can feel the emotion put into making this song. It's pure, raw, and true talent. How could anybody not love it ? <3
Its been said, but you simply cannot ignore the undeniably beautiful, intricate work done in this song. It is certainly a gem in its own right. The emotionality alone is what makes it one of my favorite songs Sara has ever written.
The only thing I have to say is that the album version maintains your attention with the different instruments and buildups whereas here it's more at your own discretion to listen completely -- to me it's hard to decide between the two as a favorite, both are real great
Also I prefer the studio version's pressure bit. I must be the only one. But I like how it goes really high like in a flick motion. This goes back down which I don't like as much personally. If you understand what I mean.
i gotta say i really love the "pressure building" part...i wish they would of left the extra building in there! Oh well still such an awesome demo and song. you are badass miss Sara Quin.
I like both versions a lot, but I can see what the twins meant while talking about this song in The Con's accompanying video with Kaki's inclusion adding another layer to the song.
This is the only demo i like better than the actual finished product. I dont really like the keyboards in the finished one. And i really like the vocals in this one :)
i remember watching a banter of tegan and sara, sara was talkin about how she wrote this song cos there was bomb threat in a bank nearby and the police didnt want them to go up to their building appartments scared that it may explode or somethin and she felt pressured cos she wanted to take her things and she wasnt even wearing a bra at that moment. anywhooo this is an awesome version thanks for posting!
oh and she thought about the people affected of the bomb threat and how it affects their families and stuff and connects from one loss to another. and if it happens some people arent gonna be able to say goodbye and stuff. she's awesome.
I just listen to the recorded version... And the demo is ACE much better and I LOVE the 'building' part. They should left it, it makes it more dramatic, even if they voice would have been faint.Thanks for posting
I've been listening to 'floorplan' nonstop lately, I guess it's my current "mood song". And I completely forgot what the demo sounds like, listening to it now, I feel like my head and chest are about to explode.
It just blows my mind away. I'm so glad they kept the demos. Because this is pure GENIUS!
we are like two peas in a pod, me too exactly! It's like "my song" right now, I can relate to it so much. I wonder if Tegan has read this and knows that the "genius" is copied from her?!! :-)
I like the demos because I believe that they're how the girls hear the song, and then they get advice from others on how they should change it for the album. The demos are like a window in to their minds.
i think the whole demo is amazing, and it's cool to see how they changed it for the album... i must say though, that i agree with whoever thought they should take the "building" part out. it just sounds random to me.
I LOVE this demo. I like the album version a lot because there so many cool sounds and Kaki also did an excellent job, but this demo is very cool too.
I LOVE the way Sara sings 'helpful' at the beiginning.... and also the background vocals in the second verse (i want your lungs to stop working without me. i think about writing you, i thought about calling you... what was i looking for?)
it's amazing how raw demos sound. tegan and sara demos always sound brilliant though; like the kind of songs you'd listen to just as often as the final product.
i love you for posting these, youre so lucky you have the cd. i looove this demo!! i agree, the 'building' after 'pressure' is really cool. i also agree that the most changes were made to sara's songs, which kinda sucks. but its kind of like listening to two different songs sometimes, which is cool too.
I feel like the most changes were done to Sara's, demos. And I really think that some of those changes, shouldn't have been made. Don't get me wrong, I love the final turn-out, but after hearing the demos it's hard not to think, "I wish they would have kept it like that".
Yeah, I agree. For example, I like "I want your lungs to stop working without me" more on this version than the final I think......It's sort of more unusual...What do you think about that part?
I think this sounds better than the original
