I actually like her demo, but I do love the production of what Lindsey did with it. Especially if he shifted it from slow to up tempo.

The "demo" versions on YouTube just sound like early versions and outtakes from the full-band recording sessions. They've already been up-tempoed.

True, I still like LB's version better on the final album.

I'm honestly struggling to imagine what a slow-tempo Hold Me demo would have even sounded like. Keen to have a try at a sort of Songbirdy interpretation when I get back to a piano after my holiday.


What this YouTuber says about the intro to Dreams (velvety, analog catnip) made me think about Over & Over as well.

Alas it is not. It's just this old fool fan acting peculiarly and sharing the results of his thought experiment.
