2012 Spirit Phone was meant to be more of a heavy album (evidenced by the You're At The Party and Lifetime Achievement Award snippets from then). I believe this would've fit perfectly in the album had it released then.
@@ATumbleOfTheDice not to mention the REALLY long ending to eighth wonder and the fact that everybody loves raymond shouldve gone on the album! dude 2012 spirit phone would've been such a heavy follow-up to view-monster
i felt super strange coming across "WIERDNESS" (yes, its spelled like that) for the first time, which was made around 1998 i think. i feel like i wasnt supposed to hear it...
I’m confused does this imply that this song shifted your notion of quality to a point of framing ivanushka as inherently bad or does this mean this song makes your realize that ivanushka was actually not good?
I kinda wish the original video wasn't unlisted cuz I love the wack pictures and scenes from the _actual_ Ancient Aliens TV show, which fits SO well with this song version
HOLY SHIT THIS GOES HARD- honestly i prefer the final, i’m so used to it having a calmer feel to it, but damn i really wouldn’t mind if this was on the album instead
Neil overwrote his old projects for Spirit Phone, unfortunately; even if he wanted to export the instrumental for this, it wouldn't be possible, and DIY instrumentals generally sound bad.
@@cy-bernet-ix DIY stems can be mediocre at best. I think it's less the chaotic energy of this song and more the mixing that would make DIY instrumentals sound kind of meh, though I'll have to see...
Oh ok, that's cool! I love to hear how he envisioned the songs from the beginning, and these demos are great! A bummer that you're not allowed to upload the other ones... But that's fine! Maybe Neil'll release them himself some day...
@@cy-bernet-ix Actually, Neil played at every Youmacon from 2007 to 2012. This was the version of AA used at Youmacon 2012, though; I got this from the official backing track video Neil put up on his second channel.
(Though it's not like he played Ancient Aliens at other Youmacons, but there IS evidence he played Cabinet Man at the 2011 show which sadly had its audio lost in a hard drive crash)
@@ATumbleOfTheDice oh yeah, i knew he didn't ONLY play Youmacon 2012! I didn't mean to imply that, what i meant to say was that this song was specifically only sung at Youmacon '12.
I dont think the instrumental compliments the story of the song well, thats why i love the spirit phone version rather than the demo, dont get me wrong, this goes hard but the instrumental doesnt really feel like itd match a song about a caveman finding aliens other than some weird instruments later used in the SP version. But god as a standalone track this goes hard.
I really wanna try to rewrite the drums for this version of the song then put it on a drumless version of the version released in SP. I have the stems, I could do it. But it sounds like so much work please motivate me-
Strange things happen For no reason That's all I know My mind's this cave So dark, no moon, no stars No sound, just hearts and walls of art These creatures I've seen Some of them edible, some of them mean That's all I know I'm not like you You fly, you burn my eyes You speak in my mind Your kind all died when you arrived I saw you making fire Strange things happen for no reason at all I can't help you You're not human You're not animal My mind's this cave So dark, no moon, no stars No sound, just hearts and walls of art And you You fly, you burn my eyes You speak in my mind You seem surprised that I don't hear you
i definitely think the final version fits far better on spirit phone but holy shit this goes hard

@@ATumbleOfTheDicethat’s hilarious because you’re at the party and this version of AA are arguably my favorite lemon demon songs!!!
im so glad that this isn't so old that i feel weird coming across it now
i felt super strange coming across "WIERDNESS" (yes, its spelled like that) for the first time, which was made around 1998 i think. i feel like i wasnt supposed to hear it...
I think this says ‘caveman goes crazy over aliens’ and the more ethereal feel really helps
Yes this does feel more “panicky” than the final on spirit phone I love it
I’m the grooving cat meme rn
And I thought ivanushka was good.. Oh boy I was wrong.
You were right. They're both good.
I’m confused does this imply that this song shifted your notion of quality to a point of framing ivanushka as inherently bad or does this mean this song makes your realize that ivanushka was actually not good?
You were wrong the second you thought Ivanuska was good…
I kinda wish the original video wasn't unlisted cuz I love the wack pictures and scenes from the _actual_ Ancient Aliens TV show, which fits SO well with this song version
1:31 Seems my favorite part is even better in this version
oh. this goes extremely hard actually
HOLY SHIT THIS GOES HARD-

That heavy as hell Moog Synth Bass fucking hits you like a ton of bricks
the drummsss
I NEED AN INSTRUMENTAL OF THIS IT GOES SO HARD
this hits HARD dude
someone please make an instrumental version of this- the instrumentals are so funkY

@@ATumbleOfTheDice seriously? aw man that really sucks! Oh well. Thanks for the info!
@@greyuria Yeah. I don't think Cakewalk SONAR (the program Neil made Spirit Phone in) does backups of old projects either, so that sucks.
@@ATumbleOfTheDice there are programs that use AI to remove lyrics from songs
idk how well theyd work with a song this... chaotic, though

i swear neil's songs are always such a banger i cant
Feels like a OG lemon demon song
That’s because the vocals are like LFTHCS quality, but the beat is as good as his best songs
oh, neat demo. Neil is so good at this stuff. ^_^
Wait, how did you manage to get a hold of the full demo?! I thought there were only snippets available of the old demos? This is great!
Neil has a music video for this unlisted on his 2Neil channel. I also have [REDACTED]

@@Erik_Blomgren [REDACTED]
@@Erik_Blomgren he's probably holding onto them to rework for the next album, at which point the original demos can be posted
@@ollyyyyyyyyy1352 Yeah hopefully that's the case! It would be epic if he did
Sounds like the version that neil played live at youmicon
it was probably this instrumental since that was held in 2012 iirc

Strange things happen
For no reason
That's all I know
My mind's this cave
So dark, no moon, no stars
No sound, just hearts and walls of art
These creatures I've seen
Some of them edible, some of them mean
That's all I know
I'm not like you
You fly, you burn my eyes
You speak in my mind
Your kind all died when you arrived
I saw you making fire
Strange things happen for no reason at all
I can't help you
You're not human
You're not animal
My mind's this cave
So dark, no moon, no stars
No sound, just hearts and walls of art
And you
You fly, you burn my eyes
You speak in my mind
You seem surprised that I don't hear you
Crafty table

i agree
No😡
