Word Crimes (Demo Recording)

For all of you who are die-hards like myself, Jarrett Heather (who animated the "Word Crimes" video) posted a very rough demo version of the song on Vimeo. Be warned, though, when I say it's a rough demo... it really is a
rough demo. There's plenty of clipping, it's not mixed properly or mastered, and Al has yet to master some of the high notes-- though he has gotten them down nicely since recording the song and singing them in concert.

I'm dying, Al's voice is literally breaking and it's not working and he's knows it's all wrong
but he does it like a CHAMP

Haha, yep! As someone who does a lot of singing in the car, I can attest that the first few attempts at singing a new song sound terrible.

I have this majestic Scottish accent that nails every first attempt at a song
As this kind of person, I feel sorry for you

In my opinion Scottish accent is as majestic as a fat puppy trying to go down the stairs
(which is cute, so at least you have that). You can hardly make anything sound serious

Bridger987, thank you for posting this! Despite its rough state, I love listening to demo versions of songs because it shows how a song evolves instrumentally, lyrically, or in very much this case,
vocally.
This is very humbling and reminds me of my own recordings because whenever I demo a song, I sometimes have sour vocals, and do as many takes needed until it sounds right.
