Mutemath - Work of Art

[@dclarkmusic]

Sounding more like the mutemath i fell in love with all those years ago! As special as the full band was, I think Paul is getting set free creatively without the pressure of a label and needing to write hits.

[@lilmanjs166]

Paul said on an instagram live (you can find on youtube) that this song is a rejected drum take for Clockwork, and the guitar part was recorded for something else, pitched down and sped up to fit for this. I gotta say that this is just impressive!

[@bassplyr13]

lilmanjs166 I can totally believe that. I don’t know if I like this one or the original version better!

[@xfallofmanx]

Wait what? This wasn't made to go together? It would be hard enough to record this song like it is but to build it from other parts that weren't written to go together is just insanity lol

[@vanillathehexican4142]

​@@bassplyr13love both but playing this one on guitar is just more fun so I choose this one...

[@michaelkeytx]

I think I prefer the original "Work of Art" overall, but I'm loving the guitar tone on this new cut.

[@bassplyr13]

Michael Key I’m with you, but something about this version is euphoric.

[@noahtuel]

You're my hero dude, thank you so much for uploading these!

[@silentlighthouse6258]

You are my hero! Thanks so much for these Mutemath tracks! :)

[@bassplyr13]

Silent Lighthouse you are welcome. I hope they leave them up.

I love this song, but I can’t find the lyrics for this version anywhere. I’ll try my best to listen and type them out, but correct me if you see any mistakes. [Verse 1] You’re not far from what You wanted to become when you were young Those years have gone by But were never lost Too late, too late You’ve already been tormented (?) It’s too late These are the scars that remind you [Chorus] You’re a work of art x2 Everything is bound to break And steady fall apart You’re a work of art x2 Nothing to regret at all You should know, you should know [Verse 2] Lay your head to rest Don’t worry if they never come around They are shown out in everything you are (?) It’s too late, too late You’ve already been tormented (?) It’s too late These are the scars that remind you [Chorus] You’re a work of art x2 Even though you lost your way You never lost your heart You’re a work of art x2 Nothing to regret at all You should know, you should know You’re a work of art x2 Never mind what got away You never lost your heart You’re a work of art x2 Nothing to regret at all You should know, you should know [x2] Thank you for this beautiful work of art Mutemath.

You're not far from what you wanted to become when you were young Those years have gone by but were never lost It's too late, too late You've already been torn in two It's too late, but these are the scars that remind you You're a work of art, you're a work of art Everything is prone to break Just let it fall apart You're a work of art, you're a work of art Nothing to regret at all You should know, you should know So lay your head to rest, don't worry if things never come around They have, somehow, in everything you are It's too late, too late You've already been torn in two It's too late, but these are the scars that remind you You're a work of art, you're a work of art Even though you lost your way You never lost your heart You're a work of art, you're a work of art Nothing to regret at all You should know, you should know You're a work of art, you're a work of art Never mind what got away You never lost your heart You're a work of art, you're a work of art There's nothing to regret at all You should know, you should know

Several differences from the original recording of this song.

[@24caycay24]

bassplyr13 Thank you! :)

[@Sincerely_lish]

Im just discovering this geez!! This made me so happy! Love original but love this too!!! 😭😍

[@bassplyr13]

Isn’t it great?

[@JayDee-lk5yp]

Thank you!!! Unfortunately can’t justify buying vinyl just for these 4 songs. This makes up for it :)

[@bassplyr13]

Jay Dee if you really want to be a pirate, there are websites that allow you to rip songs from KZbin

[@JayDee-lk5yp]

Nah I’ve got youtube red anyway. I assume he’ll release these eventually and i’ll buy em. Just like to be able to listen for now.

[@solidusmack]

Why isn’t this on spotify??😢😢😢

[@bassplyr13]

Solidus Mack the bonus tracks were limited to the purchase of the vinyl only, so they’ll probably keep them exclusive for a good while.

[@solidusmack]

bassplyr13 Ah ok. These songs are amazing. They sound just like the old songs, amazing as usual. Mutemath is a work of art! Thanks a bunch for the upload.

[@bassplyr13]

@@solidusmack I think a few of the songs use samples from ideas they recorded bits and pieces of over the years. I'm glad Paul was able to use them!

[@solidusmack]

bassplyr13 I’ve have been listening to those songs for the last few days nonstop🙌🏾🎧🎼🎼🎹🎸🥁 Thank you again!

[@lilmanjs166]

@@bassplyr13 This is a track, along with a few others, that were tracks made for Armistice and didn't make the cut. This is one of those versions. Just stuff that's been sitting, waiting for a release someday.
