Not a demo despite the great audio quality, this was just Stephan and Tony performing at a radio station a couple years before Ursa Major would even come out. It's still one of my favorite versions of the song
'Or we could live the Dao' has a slightly different melody here, I don't know whether that changed in the release. There is a really nice dual note in Ursa Major, on the syllable 'Dao'; so it would be nice to know if that is another singer or just re-mastery. This recording confirmed my suspicion that the shouted section in refrain is definitely Tony. ***Forgot to click 'like'***
Well I was lonely in spring for this kind of thing She's shivering alone I bumped into you somehow You can wear My duct-taped vest was my party best But it’s really all I own Everything's changing now And there’s all these winter stars still flying Cassiopeia Everything's changing now She said it’s alright It's just a bonfire Lightning comes and lightning goes And it’s all the same to me Let it in ‘Cause i want you so I can hardly breathe and release Into a thousand pieces I have broke into Over you Kill the flames at dawn, I keep burning on and on And I check myself ‘Cause there’s no one else It’s just us hanging out Everything's changing now Maybe we could live like kings We could take a risk We could live in doubt Everything's changing now And the lightning comes and lightning goes And it’s all the same to me Let it in ‘Cause i want you so I can hardly breathe and release Into a thousand pieces I have broke into Over you Kill the flames at dawn, I keep burning on and on This, this is, this is the last time, its the last time This, this is, this is your goodbye This, this is, this is the last time, its the last time This, this is, this is your goodbye! Some girls break you down Just to see you come undone Everything's changing now Maybe you and I are cursed Maybe you and I are one Thats the universe Around, around And lightning comes and lightning goes And it’s all the same to me Let it in ‘Cause I want you so I can hardly breathe and release Into a thousand pieces I have broke into Over you Kill the flames at dawn, But I keep burning on and on and on It’s what you always wanted It’s what you always wanted It’s what you always wanted

Well I was lonely in spring for this kind of thing
She's shivering alone
I bumped into you somehow
You can wear
My duct-taped vest was my party best
But it’s really all I own
Everything's changing now
And there’s all these winter stars still flying
Cassiopeia
Everything's changing now
She said it’s alright
It's just a bonfire
Lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
‘Cause i want you so
I can hardly breathe and release
Into a thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
Kill the flames at dawn,
I keep burning on and on
And I check myself
‘Cause there’s no one else
It’s just us hanging out
Everything's changing now
Maybe we could live like kings
We could take a risk
We could live in doubt
Everything's changing now
And the lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
‘Cause i want you so
I can hardly breathe and release
Into a thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
Kill the flames at dawn,
I keep burning on and on
This, this is, this is the last time, its the last time
This, this is, this is your goodbye
This, this is, this is the last time, its the last time
This, this is, this is your goodbye!
Some girls break you down
Just to see you come undone
Everything's changing now
Maybe you and I are cursed
Maybe you and I are one
Thats the universe
Around, around
And lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
‘Cause I want you so
I can hardly breathe and release
Into a thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
Kill the flames at dawn,
But I keep burning on and on and on
It’s what you always wanted
It’s what you always wanted
It’s what you always wanted
No problem
