as promised, me loves, here's your download for the demo.

this was recorded (and the song was written) on a weird piano near our house in upstate new york.

i have a piano at the house but since there's always a husband, or a baby, or a someTHING around it, i've been scurrying off to other spaces to get priviacy and headspace to be able to write and work. "small hands" and "drowning" were written in a little recording studio in kingston that i paid $50 a day for, and this time i went to the musician marco benovento's home-studio-recording shed, about a 20 min drive from our house in woodstock....where he has an entire rig set up. gazliions of instruments and tons of gear. nerd city.

i didn't use any of his gear but the piano, but you can see why this was an inspiring fucking workspace (kinda cold, though, and no bathroom. but hey).

I prefer this version too. more of a flow to it plus your voice really comes out here so beautifully. love it!

P.S. thanks for asking XOXO.

Great demo as well! I still prefer the final version, but I love to get a peak into the making of things, with all its rawness. And I liked that you kept the message at the beginning as well, more insight into the process :-)

This rocks! :) I have a funny feeling within a year or two you might be making a "Piano is Still Evil" album :P

I love the final version, but the demo version feels so intimate it gave me chills. (And for some reason, I prefer the sound of the piano in the demo version.)

Dorit

Love it!

Love the simplicity of this version. To see what it became is a journey in itself. Yes to drums. Yes to bass. They're the same lyrics but two different works of art. Thank you!

Federico

it feels good to be part of this project. Proud of Pope and you as teachers, good results and lovely story about all it went up. Sometimes we're in the right place moment and time together, to help

Great song. I prefer the band version but it is fascinating to listen to this one and follow the road that led to the final version.
