[@twochildreninamotel]

fun fact: i listened to a house in nebraska OBSESSIVELY before the album version came out. i LOST it at the guitar solo

[@xeonzone]

RIGHTTT

[@YoullClapWhenImGone]

I just assumed this was going to be the version that's on the white sila EP, how many versions of this song are there floating about lol, weirdly I like them all pretty much equally for different reasons on each. Though I think the album version has first place just a bit due to how the vocals are layered, it's especially noticeable when you hear the acapella version, same with how she layered her vocals on the album version of strangers and how it builds up more heavily before the very end.

[@nathaniel9526]

I listened to that song after a breakup for the first time and literally sobbed

[@MarinaAndTheDevil]

The Ptolemaea mumbling is everything

[@lisasperandio]

OMG MARINA AND THE DEVIL YOU'RE INTO ETHEL CAIN TOO?!?!?!??!?!?

[@canaryjones]

lmao

[@jacobburr4703]

Oh she gagged us a lil bit with this one!

[@Watt-cq9kd]

The Strangers demo sounds better than the original to me. The production feels more raw and intimate, which makes the end of the album feel more somber than hopeful.

[@yesitsmeyesitsmeyesitsme]

well the intention of the actual released version is to end the album on a hopeful note lol but yes youre so right

[@captsharkman7615]

Omg Gibson Girl is so much darker..

[@missrobinson1212]

gibson girl is soooo different in the verses omg

[@dylankai21]

how tf she is THIS GOOD like???? i already was shocked with the official songs and now i found these🛐

[@xcxarca]

gibson girl is so miss anhedonia

[@modernamami5861]

Oh wow. It would be cool if she released a demo album like PJ Harvey used to. I almost think I like Sempervirens more than Ptolomaea. Which is crazy cuz that’s in my top 3😭

[@purple_rose959]

she actually did! it’s not on streaming though

[@iamcarlosfc]

the demo version of A House in Nebraska hits totally different 🫠

[@craighendricks828]

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS VERSION OF WESTERN NIGHTS OMG

[@yes-ve5hp]

i always loved the white silas version of a house in nebraska... when finding out it was gna be on preacher's daughter i really hoped she'd keep that banging piano during the bridge at 11:42 but the final version is flawless anyway

[@brianharnett2639]

52:36 This song is amazing from start to finish, but this part always gets me.

[@Sam-xq3xh]

Western Nights is so incredible this way. This version sounds like the ending theme to a resident evil game or something out of haunting ground. So sick.

[@tophercundith6022]

omg american teenager’s chords in the background of sempervirens?;&3$!2!5

[@Preachers_daughter]

These demos are fuckin crazy

[@jackmay5722]

Where did you got the Family Tree demo?

[@thespiceoflife1712]

Hayden shared all of these demos on her Discord, but for some reason the demo for Family Tree was slowed down about 10%. I corrected that for the video.
