Am I missing something...My Heart?

PenguinHead · #1 05-02-2011, 10:43 AM

I've seen that the song My Heart is being mentioned in some threads. Was this song re-recorded for the album? Is it a bonus track or b-side? I'm hoping for some extra songs (as if the album itself isn't enough!).

I love the song and found it inexclipable that it was cut from Trouble in Shangrila. I thought it was so well produced and had so much energy to it. I can't imagine a version that would top it.

Yes. It's a bonus track. It will appear on the WB's deluxe edition and the Barnes and Noble edition.

It's also a bonus track on the UK edition

Has anyone posted as to whether or not this is re-recorded or just the same version from TISL?

Re-recorded.

I got my CD and poster from Warner Bros. this morning in the mail and "My Heart" is a new recording of the song.

Wow!
Thoughts??? Same tempo, etc? Verse changes? Improvement?

Hmmm. that makes me wanna go check my mailbox now... Is My Heart better? Or worse? And does she sound as nasally as the demo version?

One thing for certain, I love the placement of it: between Annabel Lee and Soldier's Angel.
It's also slightly shorter in length and it seems a beat faster than the TISL version.

The verses are different. The TISL second verse is the IYD first verse (with some minor lyric changes) and the TISL first verse is the IYD second verse. "Shadows...." from TISL is gone as is "Windows...."
Musically it's not much different, it's different, but not so much that you wouldn't recognize it. It has a mandolin break in the middle now.
It's funny, it's the same but totally different!!

Wow! Exciting!

So, in other words, I just have to wait and hear it!

I'm super excited to hear this song, I've always adored the demo.

I'm interested to see if it the CD still flows as nicely with My Heart in the middle. Funny, I've just listened to Every Day from TISL, and it occurred to me that My Heart would have sounded fantastic following that song.

I'm sure it will end up being a great song since it's with Mike Campbell. Was he involved with the demo?

Why are people calling it a demo? The original version is a fully realized and recorded song that was slated to be on Trouble in Shangrila. It's more acurate to call it an outtake.

Regardless, I am happy that it will see the light of day. Can't wait to hear the new version. I bet it will be amazing, like the rest of the album.

Whatever it was, her voice was bad on it. I actually liked the drama to the song, however, I couldn't listen to it. She sounded HORRIBLE!!!!!! I'm hoping that she sounds a lot better on this new recording.
