It's Not Living (If It's Not With You) Original Demo + Voice Track

Reuploaded to fix volume
Not the best quality, just a rough idea but lots requested it so here it is.

[@Kiri_Sully399]

That beginning part when the drums kick in makes me feel like a main character just vibing to life

[@Ashkanman]

My life is a movie 😝 world revolves around me 😝

[@fadillangston9797]

I wonder when the credits will roll for me. Will I get to choose?

[@nayliloops]

i want them to release an album of just their original demos because this is CLASS

[@maxmustermann-hx3fx]

I really hope they do so but I don't think they will I mean Matty wanted to release the DLID Album this spring but until now we haven't seen much of it

[@dominicks19]

If you haven’t checked out the ‘drive like I do ‘ catalog ;)

[@InternetRat]

this is like asking a painter to publish their rough sketch

[@nayliloops]

@@InternetRat ok and? it's still good

[@0x0x0x0]

@@nayliloops they will never do that because the final version is obviously the one they like best

[@SCAPETRACE]

I NEED someone to edit the intro of this demo seamlessly into the final version of It's Not Living

[@ninelivesofbutterflies]

it's not a want, it's a NEEDDDDD

[@Kiri_Sully399]

I was sold on this version the SECOND it started.

[@Zman2606]

If the vocals were a little loud and had just the tiniest bit of echo and reverb it would be from the 80s lol but I still love it

[@hhheeeyyy99]

I wish they put the intro to the demo into the original because it is just SOOO GOOD

[@anakillackyd4267]

YUPPPP

[@thevillainarcx]

This is fucking beautiful. Love both this 80's, indie version as well as the more commercial finalized version too.

[@teiganjade7732]

This is amazing, so 80s. I love it, it’s perfect 👌

[@cjlamb26]

Holy shit I can’t believe they didn’t go with this

[@Dunbie_]

The version they went with is better I believe. Sounds like there’s a bit too much going on but its still pretty groovy

[@Tasonjodd171]

This version is like a contained happiness while the released version is very happy energy

[@haley3272]

I love the riff at the beginning

[@aldrinjaya]

matty and george said in the tapenotes interview that they remove the intro because it's sounds like naive melody by talking heads.

[@XYBand]

A little sad they didn’t go with their original patches for this song. That chorus especially is something. I like that darker sound

[@ZaccLee]

Never knew this existed but I love it woooow 💜

[@naylihusna]

Dude thank you so much for creating this! I'm obsessed

[@gabrielamodenezi9147]

thanks for doing this, it's amazing

[@jeaninemarie1951]

at first i was like the official version was better but the more i listen to this the more in love i am

[@emmadianaswan146]

I can’t pick between this or the other this songs 80s vibes are amazing 🤍❤️

[@d.a.channel3820]

My favorite version of this song!💯The synth intro is masterful and incapsulating!⛽️

[@nurseaylla]

This sounds so goooooood 🥹🤩💯🤍

[@anthonytalledo369]

This is purely beautiful

[@evalopez9301]

THE INTRO PLEASE IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES

[@nadia3961]

this is amazing

[@Kiri_Sully399]

I was sold on this, the second I started.

[@arielgarciamartinez1565]

THIS IS JUST PERFECT

[@michaelphillipp5226]

Sad version of “It’s not living if it’s not with you”.

[@flakemfc2764]

god i wish a version with demo at the beggining of original

[@BxEshadow]

Why wasn't this the original 😭😭

[@p0g0_man39]

omg this is adorable

[@daviddiaz1282]

Perfection!!

[@arkekkers]

I can see why they picked the version we have now, a bit too much going on during the vocals. But they shouldve kept that intro though, its great.

[@Jeffbuckley420]

The joy division type riff at the start yum

[@megathemaster]

Shout-out to Chet Lewis for recommending this. This slaps hard.

[@mikethomas2191]

Glad they chose to keep working on the track, while this isn't so very different from the final product, it's still not as polished as the final studio track we all know. Which for this song, I think was important. Long live The 1975

[@kampdf19]

agreed!!

[@juanaldisya6946]

this is so fuckin good bruh

[@brarcher1179]

I loooved the intro why didnt they patched the intro

[@gashendxyz]

No "Selling Petrol"?

[@cwdhj4852]

1:53 real quiet

[@AndreaMichelleRambo]

This shit has me in TEARSS

[@elleee6325]

bruh imagine if this was the original

[@Kiri_Sully399]

That intro thooooooo

[@crispywhiskers9365]

ayyyy this slaps

[@utsavbarua2460]

Woow that intro thooo

[@EthanHockey39]

I prefer the original but goddamn this version is equally as good! The 1975 are just the best at creating the most vibey songs

[@jamesflahertymusic]

How did you isolate the vocal track?

[@OfficialRaddeck]

Selling petrol!

[@xxxxxxxxKatexxxxxxxx]

does anyone know the names of the bands or songs that might've influenced this demo? because it fucking slaps

[@xxxxxxxxKatexxxxxxxx]

and i need more haah

[@the_ultracheese67]

The Blue Nile

[@aldrinjaya]

talking heads - naive melody .

[@sheriffb1544]

"Heaven Is a Place on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle

[@lucylawless5309]

Too much music can't really hear what he saying

[@flxee8929]

I’m first again i guess LOL
