Predictable, yet good results. Though My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms is way too high, though.

Roll on the next one, Savvi!

Thanks, Savvi! Amazing album and great songs. The best song won
Bitter Wine demo is very good, I like it a lot.

Thanks Savvi, great job again. Looks like my Top3 is identical to the one in the final results
By the way, thanks for the link to Bitter Wine alternative version. I haven’t heard it before. It sounds really interesting.

Very well thought out. I've wondered these things before as well. When Crush came out the lyrics were posted online and they differed from what was on the final version that was for sale in stores. Once the promo for Crush was uploaded to sites like Napster and the likes it turned out that Jon had re-recorded various verses if I remember.

When listening to the demo for Bitter Wine it just doesn't sound like anything that'd be put on the final tracklist though, it sounds too much of a demo, too rough. When Jon did interviews during the These Days era he always described it as an R&B song and never mentioned anything of it being a rocking song, so I wonder when the plan changed.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I remember from an interview pre These Days where Jon said the album was almost finished, the last song they were working on was a tune called "Bitter Wine". So it could very well be that it was re-recorded and worked on until the end. We don't know the number of metamorphoses it was undergoing... back in the day they really seemed to work on songs to get them right, see "Something For The Pain".
