It sounds very DBTT-like to me, and thus completly different than the other 2 'new' demos - RM and STC
I thought this the first time i heard it, but posting my thought now
Take into account Noel and Liams comments that they're throwing the kitchen sink at this album, with orchestras and such
Now listen to the song again
Halfway through, the strings are clearly there. Thats the best part of the entire song imoThe only reason I see for this not to be on the album is that it's too similar to MOS, but it's better than MOS imo
All 3 demos obviously need touch ups before they make the album - NOM especially
How I see it:
STC: Make it bigger - ie, cut the acoustic crap
RM: If the rumor is correct, it'll be fine: 3mins longer, 1-2 more guitar solos etc
NOM: Clean up Liam's vocals
--
STC and RM have the potential to be epics, and probably will be, and both are a sure bet to be included on the new album
NOM is still up in the air imo, but I think we need to hold it in a great deal of consideration,
mainly because of the heavy use of the strings in it....(and lets be honest, NOM isnt a BAD song....it's better than Hung In a Bad Place and stuff likfe that, it's just not as good as the other 2 demos)
