Sucks To Be You (Studio Demo)
Added 2020-05-28 17:16:49 +0000 UTCAs stated in a previous post, any demos will be made available to all patrons on all tiers for the next few weeks due to the 'charge upfront' confusion! Thank you all for helping me reach over 100 patrons in just a couple of days!
This is the first scratch demo produced by Jason Perry in 2016 after he received my acoustic home demo - I then re-recorded the vocals as Jason developed the sound of the track. How many differences can you spot? Overall, the song sounds lighter, and the laughing vocal riff was later removed. I also have the original acoustic demo I recorded back in 2015 which I will upload at a later time!
Leave suggestions for any demos for songs you like from me and I'll see what I have! In the meantime I hope you're all well (and please do continue to suggest video ideas if you're on the Vault+ tier - I'll be filming some of the videos you've already suggested next week!)

2020-10-25 20:05:11 +0000 UTCThis is a much more light-hearted version of this song; it's very sweet. Love the little laughs you added in it. It almost feels like a different song. :)

2020-07-26 05:57:26 +0000 UTCI love this version. It's different, and as much as I hate to use the word, it's a "BOP" xD

2020-06-02 07:50:23 +0000 UTCThis is so good though, I love the actual sing but this feels like a summer bop x

2020-06-01 15:46:08 +0000 UTCThis is really cool you know, “you go and tell yourself someday I’ll want you back” would have been nice on the released single, as a switch up for the last chorus. Loving this Patreon and looking forward to more demos! Defiantly going to up my tier when money’s stable again, more then worth it!

2020-05-30 23:00:39 +0000 UTCI really like this, kinda sounds like 2007 pop punk?? Maybe.

2020-05-30 18:03:26 +0000 UTCI haven’t listened to sucks to be you in a while so it took me so long to figure out what’s different about the lyrics in this one and then when you said the ‘you go and make the pitch that your ex girlfriends a bitch’ line I was like OOOOOOOHHHH THATS IT! 😂 I really like the original but this version is cool too! 🙂

2020-05-30 02:30:46 +0000 UTCI have a big love for the studio released Sucks To Be You, and I've seen you play it live three times, it's one of my favourite songs, and is so catchy and such a great tune to jump around too. That being said, I honestly don't mind the sound of this demo version, but I do prefer the released version from the EP.

2020-05-29 13:25:08 +0000 UTCThis one is honestly really good I still love the badass punk version we got buck dude!! This one is a nice laid back version

2020-05-29 01:38:03 +0000 UTCThis is great! And it’s such a different song than the badass released version, that I don’t even really feel the need to compare them!
Justin Peck
2020-05-28 22:43:36 +0000 UTCI like this, it's more laid back, but shouting to the STBY EP is almost essential so I think the released version fits better

2020-05-28 20:52:25 +0000 UTCI like this one but it's still nothing in comparison to the finished version, this one sounds more pretty than petty so I'm glad you took out the r

2020-05-28 20:13:57 +0000 UTCthe studio version gives off badass/middle finger kinda vibes, and this one gives off "idgaf about you, just here for a good time" vibes and both are moods! i love how versatile a single song can sound depending on how it's being produced
Kia
2020-05-28 19:38:48 +0000 UTCThis sounds so different, definitely more pop than the actual version! Also the different in lyrics in the chorus are throwing me off 😂
Flo Oram
2020-05-28 19:11:24 +0000 UTCThanks, but I’d say this serves that purpose! :)

2020-05-28 18:50:35 +0000 UTCI love the Ha’s. It’s like you’re laughing at the person

2020-05-28 18:08:00 +0000 UTCI'd say it would definitely be most interesting to hear demos for songs that sound very different in both forms. Either they started off with a different idea in mind like Dirt or the simple demo for a really production-heavy song like Third Eye

2020-05-28 17:43:44 +0000 UTCI love this!! I love how different and yet familiar it is at the same time!
Merridy
2020-05-28 17:42:41 +0000 UTCThis sounds so cool! You should record a version in this style 👍
Siân Williams
2020-05-28 17:38:23 +0000 UTCI don't know which version I like better this is almost a different song
Alannah Bradley
2020-05-28 17:33:05 +0000 UTCIt’s so interesting how that’s changed, it’s got a much funkier feel and like you said lighter to. This is great 🙂 I think I still prefer the released version, although that laughing riff is gold. 👌🏼

2020-05-28 17:32:40 +0000 UTCI really loved this 'cleaner less cluttered, crisper' version. I loved the released version too of course, but it was nice to hear the demo that lead to the released version. Thanks for sharing.

2020-05-28 17:32:37 +0000 UTCThis is so cool!! I love the Acapella vocals at the start

2020-05-28 17:31:37 +0000 UTCIt’s like stepping into an alternative timeline! Very interesting take on what was eventually released 🎶
Connor Wiffen
2020-05-28 17:27:58 +0000 UTCThis has just reminded me of how long it's been since I listened to STBY! I actually quite like how much lighter the demo sounds in comparison to the release, but I like the joking, flippant feel that this has, a Lot!
jasper
2020-05-28 17:27:58 +0000 UTCwow this is so cool! i think i prefer the released version though! neat to hear this version too!
