Matt's voice sucks but that demo is cool

It's not good, but no worse than the album track.

I remember thinking this wasn't a good song. Now I love it.

I don't get why people love demos so much. This is a worse song than The Fixer.

I like The Fixer to an extent, always did

it's not that the demo is great, but it sounds like it has potential to be a different (probably better) song.

On the one hand it's got that cool riff without the things that make the final version sound like the love child of a latter-day Foo Fighters song and a latter-day U2 song

On the other hand it sounds bad

the final product is superior in every way, though Platy is right that there are echos of oughts era U2

Re-watching LOST and seeing Jack's journey really reinforces the darker themes/ideas of "fixing" that Ed talked about being at the heart of this song.
