Wall demos

Post by Eclipse »

I was downloading some wall demos from a site and I realized that the demo version of Hey You is just AWESOME! Loved it! :o Another brick 2 looked like part 1 too.
I loved the demos, but I have a doubt: Young Lust and RLHell demos don't have vocals on it. Were these songs to be instrumentals? If so, the instrumental versions would be cool too, don't you think? :wink:

Go to this site: :)

http://www.anycolorulike.com

When you enter the site, you'll see Rog's picture on it. Go to the top left part and select ''mp3 downloads'' on the ''GO TO MENU''.

There you'll find the wall demos :wink: :wink: :wink:

I think that the reason these songs have no lyrics was because the lyrics were in a state of transition and hadn't been finalized yet.

For example, Young Lust was originally to be about hanging around adult bookstores and porno theaters "being very interested in sex, but too frightened to get involved." (Schaffner, ASOS)

The song ended up a bit differently. Reportedly, this was thanks to Gilmour's work...maybe Dave wrote some lyrics for these songs and hadn't finished his bit yet.

I've always like the "Im a physician, and can handle your condition" in Com Numb ;)

I liked the way Comfortably Numb only had one chorus rather than 2, the effect is spoilt second time

And the show must go on, the deleted verse is just the epitome of cool. Nice and haunting vocals with some lovely lyrics
