When I hear and read the Deryck's post I was thinking the same, I really he release more SBM stuff.

Re: Crash Demo
It's a real treat to be able to finally hear this! Beyond words to try to imagine the emotions of what Deryck had witnessed just 1 hour before this recording.
Hope we get more of this to come!

Re: Crash Demo
Nice. Sounds awesome, cool to see how the song was at its early stages.
The best improvement in the album version is though that Deryck realized that it works better as a shorter song, gives it a bit different feel after you finish it.

Sweet! I love how pure and unpolished it sounds. It has a very different vibe to it.
I really hope Deryck will post another demo or just a teaser. Maybe we could finally have "Believe" ?!?!
(I'm referring to this song @ 0:41 <- lol dat number tho : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSLXLiT6V_E#t=41 )

Re: Crash Demo
I agree. The finished song ending with "That ain't gonna happen" makes it more powerful/emotional.X^2 wrote:The best improvement in the album version is though that Deryck realized that it works better as a shorter song, gives it a bit different feel after you finish it.

I don't even know what to say. Gave me chills throughout the whole 4 minutes.
