I actually prefer this version I remember when I first heard the final version I thought the chorus didn’t have the same vibe as the rest of the song. After finding out Ryan actually wrote this song I realized why

[@MusicalWhimsical]

I remember firstly listening to nearly witches and I’m like how can I connect the verses to the chorus? Like I thought the lyricism made no sense. Then when I listened to the demo I couldn’t even listen to the other one anymore. It’s a pretty song it just should’ve made sense.

[@avarni]

the original chorus was so much better than the final version. this extended version combines all the good parts of each version

[@avarni]

i used the word "version" four times in two sentences. sfghgfdgjjkl what's wrong with me

[@Silphanis]

Like this quite a bit more than the "real" version. The chorus is better and a lot less jarring than "Every Since We Met" and this keeps the Halloween-ey groove going in a way I adore. Wish there was an official version with this chorus

[@gaarliiee]

In my opinion, this is way better than the original. Especially the old-school brendon and current brendon harmony thing right before the demo chorus, I'm in love. Also, this is so perfectly edited, I sob.

[@pigeonsocks6439]

I agree... it is one of the only songs that was written for Cricket and Clover that actually got released (well... kinda released)

My wingtips waltz across naive Wood floors, they creak Innocently down the stairs Drag melody My percussive feet serve cobweb headaches As a matching set of marching clocks The slumbering apparitions That they've come to wake up Here I am Composing a burlesque Out of where they rest their necks Sulking in their splintered cradles And ramshackle heads They asked for it As a boy I eat my wishes on golden tooth picks and digested them with wolf intestines I fell from the heavens As a fetish blessed with An operatic skeleton And as the stars watch me descend I crack a family tree and Chopped off all of the branches I fell from the heavens As a fetish blessed with An operatic skeleton And as the stars watch me descend I crack a family tree and Chopped off all of the branches (2x) How does a heart love If no one has noticed its presence And where does it go? Trembling hands play my heart like a drum But the beat's gotten lost in the show I eat my wishes on golden tooth picks and digested them with wolf intestines I fell from the heavens As a fetish blessed with An operatic skeleton And as the stars watch me descend I crack a family tree and Chopped off all of the branches
