I guess this demo was supposed to be available tomorrow. But considering it is X-mas tomorrow, they will be busy (or drunk! hehe) enough to put it in Monday. So we got it in advance. It makes 9 demos in total:
01. ONE WISH 2.30
02. CRUSH ON YOU 3.24
03. DANCE AWAY 3.35
04. MY WORLD, MY LOVE, MY LIFE 4.06
05. THE CENTRE OF THE HEART 3.43
06. FOOL 3.45
07. DANGEROUS 3.05
08. STARS 3.55
09. IT HURTS 2.58
Almost a mini-album. If we could get one more, to make 10, it would look even better, hehe!
It Hurts was a nice surprise. 1995, I didn’t know the song was so old! Then, they did consider this song to be included in DBUGTTC.

A “Reveal” demo is in the cards I think as a demo was mentioned in conjunction with the single release ! So maybe those patient can add another demo to that list - making 10 ! :)
This is probably my last post before 2mora ! So Happy Boxing Day’s Eve everybody ;) And Happy Holidays ! :)

Nice demo, far the most valuable Xmas present I got this evening. Thank you Per, very much indeed for that. Although I have to admit that this is the rare case when I can state that the final version is better than demo. But as I spoke before, I’m very thankful for that. I’d love to celebrate Xmas every one day during a year if we got such a nice present :)

very beautiful demo. love it a lot better than the final version
abysmo said on December 25, 2006 00:21:
Beautiful demo. Really different from the final version. But great. Simple but strong. And I love Per´s voice in this song. Some parts reminds me Twin Peaks theme. I have same feeling many years ago with Crash! Boom! Bang! Another Christmas present.

“It was supposed to be out today as it’s TODAY it’s Xmas in Sweden.”
Yea but when it appeared it was already Christmas Day (25th) elsewhere in the world including Australia with the time difference.
tevensso (moderator) said on December 25, 2006 12:02:
That may well be, it was still a Xmas gift for the 24th. Why is this even an issue?
RobS said on December 25, 2006 13:22:
Once again, the demo is nice, but Marie’s vocals in the final version and the eeriness of the music just make it a superb song (at least to me).
Great Xmas present :-)
Jud (moderator) said on December 25, 2006 15:40:
as Thomas said, Xmas in Sweden is celebrated on the 24th, and it is posted according to Swedish (CET) time, not anything else. Why do people have to be so dense?

Rox_Nox2003 said on December 26, 2006 05:57:
Totally unexpectedly .... great demo indeed. In a similar way to Weight of the world and with a sad melodic vibe in it. Who would guess it would turn out so different in the studio. I like both versions both have something to express in their own way... the demo using the acoustic simplicity while the studio goes a bit more wide and big and epic ... with an amazing guitar distorted sound creating a magic environmenr to it besides the dark cold feeling the whole song has.
Thanx Per and god jul to you too :)
Ps: 1995 my god!!! This could have been included in DBUGTC ... lol or as bside to the singles of that time.

This demo is actually my favourite of all the ones released. The backing track is simple but really nice, and per’s voice goes well with it.
Rox_Nox2003 said on December 27, 2006 03:57:
Isn’t it funny that every single time a demos comes out .... it turns out to be the best of all ... and so on and so on ... LOL Jesus it’s the thrill of the freshness that creates this state of mind...
NOW listen to all 8 demos and make a fair judgment LOL
Ronney said on December 27, 2006 13:07:
Great one! Tx Per!
Cannot find the file anywhere though, so I might not be able to listen to it after next monday...

ncurran said on December 27, 2006 14:26:
Rox_Nox2003, you are making assumptions that certainly are not true in my case. I have hardly liked any of these demos, but i do like this one. Stop being so patronising, and allow people to have their own opinions please!
Emil__BG said on December 27, 2006 21:29:
Per !!!!!
In our country we give presents on the 01.01 too !!! ;-))
gyllene_tjej said on December 28, 2006 21:26:
This is the song I fell for - it’s been in my mp3 player ever since the file was made available. It can be heard Per put much work in that one - vocalwise I mean. and it is from 1995, wow, didn’t have the foggiest idea that was the case!
THANK YOU PER for all the demos and have a nice 2007!
miso said on December 29, 2006 13:13:
So Per wrote “It Hurts” and “I Don’t Wanna Get Hurt” for the same album. Funny!
tevensso (moderator) said on January 1, 2007 11:07:
Please stop asking for illegal files at TDR... is that so hard to understand?

For some, yes

Guys the Demo’s are available on other forums if you ask, but you shouldn’t ask here or at the son of a plumber forums.
The idea is to have only one week to listen to the demo’s.
I would pay to download these at Higher Quality.
Cheers

Yes!!
So we did get one more demo!! Per was thinking about the international audience.
It Hurts for Christmas! The melody fits the day. It’s sad but relaxing.
Thanks for the gifts Roxete. Merry Christmas everyone.
Take care!
