They Might Be Giants - Where Your Eyes Don't Go (Demo)

Completely different keyboard part from the album version, and a slower tempo with looser vocals. Whereas the studio version contains part of the melody of the song I've Been Working on the Railroad, this demo features Linnell singing two lines from it during the bridge.
Replaces "Skull head" with "Nightmare" on the line starting "Should you worry..."

This is incredible and easily my personal favourite version! It's so beautifully unnerving and the instrumental break fills me with a vast, magical despair.

[@polibix]

thats funny you find it unnerving i find it really safe and calm lol

[@lapinpuff]

@@polibix Wow! I think the song was very intentionally meant to be unnerving with the lyrics and tone, so the fact you find it relaxing is really sweet! Music can have so many effects on people, it's so magical 💗

[@Sloop_Goop]

someone showed this to me recently and im going insane!!!!!!!! i had no idea this even existed!!!!!!!!woah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TMBGRarities]

!!!

[@thekeithfulbarrums]

The instrumental almost feels like a chiptune cover of the final song. Fascinating!

[@odeon741]

What a Great, Great Band!!Thank you for your Existence!!I met you in The year of 1995, when I was in College,(when I was 20 years old) by a Friend. Thank you for posting!

[@odeon741]

I am never, never tired of listening to your Giants songs. I wish you come Over Portugal. Please!

[@notanotherjamesmurphy5574]

I love Linnell’s modulations & key-changes

[@TheJoePilato]

Much spookier

[@alexwalton593]

god i love how this sounds

[@gregzsidisin]

Wow, I like this better than the final version.

[@hunderslash]

Really love the bounciness of this song. “WHERE your EYES don’t GO a FILthy SCAREcrow WAVES his BROOMstick ARMS and DOES a PAroDY of EACH unCONScious THING you DO” Reminds me a lot of “Dead” from flood, “I reTURNed a BAG of GROcries ACciDENTly TAken OFF the SHELF beFORE the EXpiRAtion DATE” Not sure if there’s a word for this singing style, anyone know?

[@bluetoad07]

this is my favorite song off of Lincoln, i had no idea this version existed! the synths here are wonderful.

[@kingofwingo]

The Frank O'Toole show has some great demos, I'm partial to the second snowball in hell demo with the synth arrangement.

[@bloodyscalp94]
