organizing an accident is a weekly newsletter where I leak home demos of unreleased songs, first draft lyrics, thoughts on the creative process, & dispatches from music life in Paris.
Listen to “Tired of Love” (demo):
This song was written on May 7, 2021
Greetings from France,
Today’s demo comes in two parts. It’s a song called ‘Tired of Love’ that I performed a handful of times last year in Paris. I’ve never shared multiple versions of a song in progress here before and so I thought you might find these different interpretations interesting.
The first version up above is a live take sung at my piano last September.
The second version, which you can listen to below, is the original demo that I produced in 2021 with a more complete arrangement. The song was written this way and was later stripped down to piano to distance myself from the original demo arrangement.
As always, thanks for listening. For those of you in regions of the world with changing seasons, winter is almost over. We made it. Stay positive, be kind yourself, and have a great week.
With love,
Ryan
