Don’t you thing the intro of this song is better in the demo version?

ChrisWilliams said on May 16, 2003 18:55:

It sounds too oriental, which doesn’t fit the rest of the song. Just like Per and Marie, I prefer the final edit ;-)

can still remember how I bought the C!B!B! single before the album many years ago... fell instantly in love with the R~TY demo, but was actually quite disappointed when hearing the album version afterwards...

Much better the themo than the CBB album verion, but that’s just my opinion

the intro sounds so much like a popular Bulgarian song... (can’t remember which, tho’)
but, oriental?

I prefer the final version

coyboyusa said on May 17, 2003 15:53:

LOL ORIENTAL!?

i think it reminds me too much of bryan adams but it has more electricity than maries version..maybe cause by the time they recorded run to you...on of the last set of songs for cbb...she was pretty tired

still great song great video

ChrisWilliams said on May 17, 2003 18:34:

Hmm, I’d say oriental. Has that kind of flavour (or “flavor”, if you’re a difficult American) to it.

The pitch of the notes, the timing...

Whereas the released version sounds typically Western.

Milena: “Zviat Lilav” by Irina Florin? :D Or which one? :p

antz said on May 18, 2003 09:44:

It also reminds me of the intro to a Backstreet boys song, dont know which one, as I would NEVER buy one of their albums!

ChrisWilliams said on May 18, 2003 10:44:

My Dad says the final version of Run To You has an almost identical intro to another song... The song escapes my mind right now...

A rather pointless contribution, but maybe someone knows which song.

i_jera said on May 19, 2003 11:03:

@ Santi - nopes, but I still can’t figure it out.

Jackie_Radiorox said on May 19, 2003 18:15:

Uh... Oriental?

The demo is ok but I prefer Marie Singing it.
Some demos are meant to be changed. Others are meant to be released and some others trashed. LOL!

Santi said on May 19, 2003 18:27:

Jackie: No, you’re wrong. All demos are meant to be changed, that’s why they are called “demo”.

m-cvk said on May 19, 2003 21:23:

oriental? Nope, that is Teaser Japanese :-)

BTW Does anyone have the chords of this demo? Or does it consist of the same chords as the final version?

Thanx!

coyboyusa said on May 20, 2003 06:46:

actually the demo into is kinda like the piano intro to bryan adams everything i do i do it for you.....and celine dion recorded the max martin song thats the way it is that sounds alot like run to you musically

MatthiasROX said on May 22, 2003 17:07:

I like the final version but I too find the demo version even better. Not only because of the better intro, but I just think it’s better if Per does the vocals.
