BEHIND THE SCENES: Blacknwhite original demo
🕑 Added 2020-11-27 21:18:22 +0000 UTCI promised to give y'all exclusive content & so I'm gonna post an old one that you might recognize what it turned into!
Only rule with these WIP's, demos, behind the scenes info, etc. is that you don't share these things outside of this patreon, just for privacy's sake.
This was back when Blacknwhite was just gonna be the second half, & it was titled "Do You Hurt As Well?" I don't remember who I sent this to, but this was just a demo I made on my old copy of Logic Pro 9. Pardon the messy desk, as you can tell by the song, I was going thru it lol
Here are the lyrics:
"Look at me like im a stranger
Love to have you back again
We dont have to still be lovers
I just have no other friends
I had problems you had even
More you didnt tell me of
(i’d still call this love)
Are there tears in your eyes?
Are you friends also worried?
Are you hurting too?
Tell me if youre hurting too
Broken hearts still beat, Still
take a beating but I’m used to that
Smoke can choke me harder
Then you ever did, I’m used to that
Count how many pills i got left.
Asking god what strength i got left.
Are there tears in your eyes?
Are you friends also worried?
Are you hurting too?
Tell me if youre hurting too"
This song was gonna be a lot more dramatic, but I decided against it, eventually toning it down. I also made several lyrics for the section that now goes like "I've been splitting cuz its better than admitting that it's something that I can't control" that also got scrapped, so I'm gonna include them in this post:
The other lyrics I was choosing between were:
1. Its annoying
I’m alone while you’re enjoying
Having energy to leave your room
I can’t take it, If you leave me,
Then its gotta be completely
And its gotta be soon
2. I’ve been splittin
Wish this album wasn’t written
at a time when you were still around
I predicted that you’d leave me
but you said “you should believe me
you just need to calm down”
3. I’ve been saying
I’m a crisis in the making
I’ve been faking that i’m
safe & sound
I’ve been itchin’, I don’t care if it’s
Prescription or addiction
I just need to calm down
Which rewrite would you have chosen, if I didn't use the line I ended up going with? 1, 2, or 3?
