kingvirtue Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The best ballad on RH Yes! But I really love "Messiah" and "Ghosttown" too. Such a hard decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaron Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Can I confess that I now prefer the demo over the album version? I think the most prefer the dance version of this song, but I like more the album version. I like the chorus, its so dramatic and emotional. It could have been a movie soundtrack or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpb4uthink Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I think the most prefer the dance version of this song, but I like more the album version. I like the chorus, its so dramatic and emotional. It could have been a movie soundtrack or soexactly. The demo does not fit in at all with the tone of the album. Album version is euphoric.

I like the chorus, its so dramatic and emotional. It could have been a movie soundtrack or so From what I have read this year, most people preferred the demo of Rebel Heart but the album version of WAOM. I know there were a few people who vocally preferred the WAOM demo, but it seems like the consensus is for the album version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCC Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The demo version of Wash All Over Me is the only demo I kept. Makes me wanna dance and sing Way better than its unfortunate album counterpart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loowee Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'll never understand the love for the demo version. The strings intro and the piano chords are cute but that breakdown is horrendously cheesy and 2012 and it has the exact same grating 808 beat on GGW. The RH demo is the only production that Avicii gets it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrolla Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yes, the intro with the strings and the piano is what I like the best. I see why people don't like it if they are talking about the breakdown, I don't like it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5iVe Elements Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I listened to the demo like twice when it came out. Then the album dropped. But after hearing it so many times, the demo feels new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudet Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Loved the demo a lot when I first heard it a year ago. The album dropped and at first I was slightly disappointed with the final cut. WAOM album version is very dramatic, a beautiful ballad with great harmony, would be perfect as the soundtrack to an apocalyptic movie or TV show like The Walking Dead - saying this with the best intention as a compliment as I truly believe it's an excellent piece of music writing, lyrics and melody. I think I equally love both versions now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry...a year later I'm still thinking WTF was *she* thinking in castrating both WOM and RH...songs that were flawless, polished, instant and absolute mega smash quality/potential!

Shane Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I wonder how much depends on what you heard first. For me, the album version is easily one of her all time best songs: spellbinding and gorgeous. When I finally listened to the demo, it sounded silly to me, like one of those remixes they did so often in the 90s to make Celine Dion ballads danceable for instance. I would also be curious as to whether people who don't like the album version tend to dislike her ballads in general. It sounds like people who heard the demo first think she ruined it, but to me hearing the album version first, there is no way this was meant to be a dance song. We may never know ... but we can all be happy with our preferred version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the demo first, was genuinely impressed with it. It took me some time to love the final cut album version after I had heard the Avicii's version of WAOM first, now I love them both in their unique ways. Probably the biggest disappointment is knowing that such an amazing song, whether in its official ballad form or its unofficial unreleased dance beat, is not going to be performed live. What a pity. I can imagine for those who didn't hear the demos first, listening to WAOM final album version for the first time and then Avicii's dance demo might have probably sounded a bit silly....
