My first album had a lot of songs on it that still mean a great deal to me.
As I'm preparing for the release of my follow up LP, I've been revisiting the songs that shaped "Hands Of The Wicked".
"Wicked Me" is the center piece of that record, autobiographical and intimate and still moving.
This is an early demo of that song. I've always loved the melody of this demo version. I abandoned the melody for the album version in favor of a more passionate reading. I'm not sure it was the right move.
I find both versions satisfying.
