The Libertines Can´t Stand Me Now Demo. Hard to find

[@BritRock93]

I've listened to this 5 times in a row idk why but "teach me how to play guitar, hold my cigarette like a superstar, teach me how to steal a car" gets to my soul and I just dont know why..

No, neither do I. I hope you've grown up and aren't so melodramatic these days

When I first discovered this song when I was 14 (20 years ago) I absolutely obsessed over this part! The demo is far superior to the studio version imo

@Malte Laurids Brigge You need to clean your ears out mate

[@hannah6034]

@Malte Laurids Brigge yeah why do you say that ? are you just being facetious because he goes on to say 'their vision of you'? which, to be fair, does change the tone and make it far more bitter. it's also easy to miss the first time, i've probably heard this well over 100 times tho.... odo you actually think it's not there because you've not heard it? either way you're wrong

[@ludiekmagick]

Nice little nod back to Plan A to bookend the band's pro career: "I've read every review, no-one's got a fucking clue"

@maltelauridsbrigge3776 What do you think he sings?

[@Richie1989A]

i almost prefer this version to the album version, it's that verse "teach me how to play guitar, hold my cigarette like a superstar, teach me how to steal a car..." i just think was lacking from the album version, and would have made it better

[@TundraMouse]

this isn't the libertines this is pete doherty and wolfman during som babyshambles session, it's not all that hard to find either, but this one has the clearest sound out of all the ones i've found so far so cheers for uploading it

[@agulyons]

Can somebody tell me why this video doesn’t have 1 billion likes? Pete is gold

[@joedinho1748]

yea, the lyrics are quality here but the album versions got the "have we enough to keep it together" bridge which is best part of the tune for me

[@TheLibertine1991]

i agree that the lyrics are much better here, as well as the song itself.. it captures the libertines when they were a young underground band with a different sort of punk rock intertwined with beatlesy sixites riffs as in this a beautiful lyrics

[@bevyk777]

I think it is impossible to listen to this only once. Gotta hit that replay to hear it all again... Thanks for posting this gem!

His song never empty with electricity. #Stonedwhilewithcantstandmenowdemo

[@nilsnhh]

At this time, he clearly blamed the people around Carl Bârat for being ejected from The Libertines (They took him out and down he sings of himself, while You twist and tore our love apart becomes They twist and pulled...), while elsewhere in the song theres a whiff of gritted-teeth nostalgia for their past friendship (You taught me how play guitar/Smoke like a superstar).

[@Pontuswre]

Actually, this is just Pete playing. Using a drum machine and playing all the other instruments by himself. It's from the 'Branding Sessions'. "The Branding Sessions contain two tracks, that were recorded by Peter Doherty sometime between March 2004 and August 2004. Although they were recorded only by Doherty, they are often credited to The Libertines."

I didn't know this song could be messier, lovely!

[@Wilshereisclass]

this is the song i always thought was just the normal version i love them equally though

[@melodyvalentine8779]

Same. There's multiple versions of just about song of Pete with both bands. I've heard about 50 versions of Fuck Forever and still can't find the first version I heard years ago! Same with Killamangiro, I had a version of that song that is nothing like the official version. I was shocked when I got the album and it was completely different

[@zefred95]

i agree !! best song from Libertines !!

[@ItsRokaze]

this version sounds very Smiths-esque

[@Ezz12946]

Yeah sort of

[@nilsnhh]

It features a primitive drum machine, guitar and vocals. In the way that the lyrics differ from the original its a decidedly uncomfortable but revealing snapshot of Peters state of mind.

awesome dude, cheers!

[@nilsnhh]

I'm sorry, but you've got it the wrong way round:p NAME Cant Stand Me Now (Alternate version) DATE July/August 2004 PERSONNEL Solo RECORDED At home, Exmouth Market ABOUT In contrast to many of the other tracks that feature early versions of officially released songs, this is a new version recorded after the original was supposedly finished. In fact, it was recorded immediately after Pete was ejected from the Libertines for the last time.

[@Chris_34]

Awesome😎✌️

[@nilsnhh]

It closes with a paranoid belief that its not only The Libertines machine against him, but the world as a whole. (I read every review/They all prefer you). In reality, only for the most cynically voyeuristic. Read my post in reverse order:)

The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now Lyrics An ending fitting for the start You twist and tore our love apart Your light fingers through the dark Shattered the lamp, into darkness it cast us all No, you've got it the wrong way round You shut me up and blamed it on the brown Cornered the boy, kicked out at the world The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder now If you wanna try, if you wanna try There's no worse you could do, oh oh oh I know you lie, I know you lie I'm still in love with you, oh oh oh Can't take me anywhere I'll take you anywhere Can't take me anywhere Well, I can't take you anywhere I'll take you anywhere you wanna go You can't stand me, no You can't stand me, no You can't stand me, no You can't stand me, no Have we enough to keep it together? Or do we just keep on pretending and hope our luck is never ending You tried to pull the wool, I wasn't feeling too clever And you take all that they're lending Until you needed mending on you If you wanna try, if you wanna try There's no worse you could do, oh oh oh I know you lie , all you do is make me cry And that is worse, that ain't true Can't take me anywhere I can't take you anywhere Can't take me anywhere Well, I won't take you anywhere I'll take you anywhere you wanna go You can't stand me, no You can't stand me, no You can't stand me, no You can't stand me, no

@BritRock93 Heard this for the very first time today, and yes, that line struck me a lot too, for some reason. It was just surprising, maybe, but it's wonderful! Sounds like a lap dog. It almost reminds me of There is a Light... by the Smiths, but I don't really know why
