bathroom 03:36
i dunno whats with the weird burp at the start but as u can see i was goin for a more a tricky start where it sounds like the first song. at this point in production i still dont have the lyrics down i still dont feel like ive ever nailed that "in a hotel or a hospital for my heart" i do like the "when ive run out of things to say" tone some of the lines are slightly different as youd expect. nothing out of the ordinary here really. oh except the meter is very regular in this version and at the end i play a slightly different progression and play a rougher version of "i" like bookends
2.
bathroom 01:33
my singing on this is strange and the mixing is weird... like my vocal note voice is odd. i also verbally mention when the sink is to turn on, and then after that i dont have lyrics. i do like the last singin section and kinda wish i fleshed out bathroom a bit more. then i dont know what i said at the end? home? hoa?
3.
the 01:42
the vocal melody came first and i realized the only way to accompany this was with something very ambient and cyclic. i did work on this a little in the garageband phone app and instead of guitar drones i have me going "ooh" but sadly i have since deleted that version. it was a lil weird though. its cool.
4.
use 02:06
you can hear and feel me struggling until just plain give up
5.
use guitar 01:48
i might have actually ended up using this track for the song and singin over it yea this is just an instrumental really. feels empty without the lyrics
6.
use 01:45
this ones even more desolate without the guitar. i sound so tiny
7.
to (rewrite) 07:27
the lyircs on this are a different so imma write em here: what is my goal what am i going to who dug this whole that i keep stepping in and out of to you it might seem stupid to me it might seem stupid im taking my time to get where im going to make it work out the way that i want to to make it sound like this is what want to me it seems pretentious to you it might be pretentious but hey it still rhymes now and then it has to im trying to convey some meaning for once to do that i need to focus i dont know how to do that and i dont know if ive done that i dont know how to do that this feels like the only time ive made sense the only time ive made something of meaning and now i bite my tongue and shoot my foot heres the next one and then i talk for 6 minutes. i hate my voice it makes everything i say sound forced and insincere i dont want to have to listen to it an transcribe it for 6 minutes

to (demo?) 01:25
the part before anything starts is cute. i think the reason i scrapped these lyrics besides the fact that it was really weird was the fact that the second section sounds like the second section of 'i'
9.
to 01:59
i start this one off proving to myself i can play the song without cheating but as soon as i start singing i just go for the bass. then mid song i get tired i guess? or maybe ive realized i get the gist and can start recording already
10.
have (7654) 01:28
this is the first song i wrote for this album.
11.
i demo 3 01:50
when i hear this one im not entirely sure that this isnt the track that i ended up using for the final version..(???) i know i recorded another layer of singing over it. this one just sounds like the finished one in delivery and everything but its got the ending different i dunno
12.
i demo 2 01:59
this one is really slow it reminds me of something by like jets to brazil or something... i know i was probably only doing it slow for practice purposes. i wonder why i wanted this song to be so fast anyway this sounds really fine? the end feels really sparse and almost empty and i have this huge spacing between things which feels so halting and its quite an effect. anyway i tripped up some lyrics
13.
i demo 01:48
this starts off sounding like its gonna be even SLOWER but its not haha this one is before i got the hang of the transitions. and the ending section rhythm is slightly different, my vocals sound particularly hopeless and desperate. like im about to cry i dunno why. i sung the last part differently for some reason
14.
i didnt actually end up putting bass in this song because i always forget to do that in every song
15.
i p1 guitar 00:55
my cousin was playing fortnite in the bg. i had no idea how to do this guitar part at the start lol
16.
i 01:19
i couldnt reasonably do the high parts singing this song and it felt weird... the songs too short to have harmony come in later and it wouldnt feel right being there from start to finish. the rhythm in the end is super different. anyway thats it unless you download this then you can get my first demo of my the thing about distance cover

about

these are the demos for ii exist

the overall structure is that the demos are listed in reverse order for like each track so that you get all the versions of one song before moving on to the previous song. as for each individual song, theyre organized aesthetically so that you get to hear the progress of each song in reverse from most complete to least complete, with the exception of "to" which i organized to be more fun idk hehe.

none of this reflects the exact order which these tracks were written, recorded, etc. for example, "have" was actually the first song i wrote. instead of lyrics for each track i will have information and commentary about each demo [with another exception for the to section]

the titles are listed as they are on my phone which i recorded the demos on without exception.

{if youre wondering about demos for the first i exist: there are none. all of those songs were recorded in one take. what you heard there were the only versions of those songs, save for one extra take of the kind of like spitting cover (which is included in this 'album' as a bonus 17th track)}

i drew the album art during an afterschool course recovery class instead of writing about saint thomas aquinas and his philosophies about faith and reason. happy european crimes victims day to all you crime victims out there
