Lucky (The very first demo of The Lucky One) (2004)

Welcome to another demo I've dug up from the Demo Vault.
There's a good chance that if you're listening to this demo, the only reason you're sitting through it is because you know that this eventually became "The Lucky One" from Wish Upon a Blackstar.
This began as a production experiment for me. I was listening to a LOT of Psy/Goa Trance and i wanted to do a track in that world. Of course I had no real idea how to make that happen, so this is why I experiment with production.
(I often feel like a mad scientist, but more "mad" than "scientist.")
Eventually I figure things out, but by the time I put all my twists and turns into a style, it doesn't really sound like what I originally was going for.
At over 7 minutes, it's obvious i was trying all kinds of things just to see what would work. But as it normally unfolds, I eventually abandon the demo and either never look back or just cut out the parts I still like and move on.
For those of you who know the final version of "The Lucky One," you will be able to tell that I kept very little from this demo. Really just the concept and a few of the lyrics.
That's good news for me because the final version from Wish Upon a Blackstar is a lot better than this.
