This feels way more Nurture like. Not that the original doesn't have those vibes, but the vocal chops and drops remind me a lot of Something Comforting.
@@JakobMaier I mean it gives off a similar vibe because they are both in the same key so it’s easy to hear similarities because there are only so many chords to pick in one key
@@Edwoah_The_Legend yeah but the vibe is the same in each key. Like if you transpose a song into a different key, it still sounds "the same", just higher/lower. Not suddenly sad or sth. But i agree that key is important in that many instruments sound differently in a different tonal range. For example, singers will often write a song in the range that their voice sounds the best in. If they picked a higher key, they’d have to hit higher notes, which would make their voice sound strained or even crack

I keep coming back to this demo. It needs to be finished!! I like this version more than some songs on the smile album unfortunately (not that I dislike the other songs)
Porter and gang said this song lacked certain things that they couldn't quite understand. I think I can identify a few things wrong: 1. The transition from the introduction to the James Ivy vocals is basically nonexistent. There normally should be a change in energy between the opening and intro vocals, and the fact that it's missing makes this a lot more empty. 2. There are basically no key changes at all. It stays between Ab Major and Bb Major. While the final release shows something similar at the beginning, there are still a lot more key changes afterwards (B Major - C# Major - D# Major - A# Major). The fact that it's only two keys makes this all the more egregious. The only time I hear the key changes is in the chorus. 3. 2:16 Porter already says this is more of an experimental section where they were trying to figure out wavedash, so I understand. That said, this part just doesn't fit at all. There's no reason why this part should exist in this song. Besides, it's very repetitive, just like most of the song. 4. Just the fact that there's only a barebone structure (Opening, intro, chorus, transition, middle part, chorus, ending), with little to no variety between any of those verses is what makes this whole song barebones. Even a few instrumental changes or additions would be miles better. What exactly they would be, I'm not sure.
@@Tyc9909 it’s not like they can’t release an alternate version, it’s not an uncommon thing for artists to do. i could see it happening if a ton of people ask for it on social media
Definitely has the demo feel to it. The direction is all over the place and makes no sense, the mixing is really poor given the vocals are barely audible most of the time. It's like a bulletin board of ideas to filter out later. It sucks, but bleeds with potential.
I like how he says its so bad and then all three of them are clearly jamming to it
he probably meant the mix/arrangement, as a music prod it did sound really messy around the part where he said that
@@carson2889either that or he was joking
there was a comment and he just read it
They are reading a comment in the twitch chat
bro imagine this released as "Is There Really No Happiness part. 2 "
Perhaps There is Some Happiness, the sequel
maybe there is happiness
More coherent as "Is There Really No Hapinesse part. 0 or demo"
This feels way more Nurture like. Not that the original doesn't have those vibes, but the vocal chops and drops remind me a lot of Something Comforting.
It probably helps that both songs are in the same key haha (Eb-Major)
@@Edwoah_The_Legendi don’t think key matters as long as you don’t have perfect pitch (which almost nobody has)😭

Its like if James Ivy made a song on Nuture. I cannot stop thinking about that hook
Funny since James Ivy helped in the production of Is There Really No Happiness
deluxe smile with this bop please
This actually could've been an 11th song on Smile its that good!
Sounds like a completely different song. It's crazy that it's ITRNH
i can’t get enough of this. everything he does is just amazing
WE COULD'VE GOTTEN JAMES IVY VOCALS???
ITRNH: Demo (incomplete lyric)
[Verse: James Ivy]
Skyscrapers in, we failed
So this is how love feels
So this is the last dance
Don't mess up your food and
There’s snow in the hallway
Tell me that you'll always
Find your way back to me
Even if you're not looking
[Verse: Porter Robinson]
There’s something about how the [?] was turning
[?] you wanted it
[?]
Holding till the end of it, I can't keep doing this
[?] I want you to stay with me
[?]
[Chorus: Porter Robinson]
Keep tearing the pages
But I can't stop writing your name
All over the place
So if you'll say it
[?]
[Verse: James Ivy]
Skyscrapers in, we failed
So this is how love feels
So this is the last dance
Don't mess up your food and
There's snow in the hallway
Tell me that you'll always
Find your way back to me
Even if you're not looking
Evеn if you’re not looking
Even if you’re not looking
Evеn if you're not looking
Even if you’re not looking
[Chorus: Porter Robinson]
Keep tearing the pages
But I can't stop writing your name
All over the place
So if you'll say it
[?]
[Outro: James Ivy]
My love in a standstill
Love letters in landfills
Those memories archived
Forever in my mind
There's snow in the hallway
Tell me that you’ll always
Find your way back to me
Even if you're not looking
My love in a standstill
Love letters in landfills
Those memories archived
Forever in my mind
My love in a standstill
Love letters in landfills
Love letters in landfills
Love letters in landfills
NOTE: If you wanna add the missing lyrics here, please just say them in the reply section thanks!
Porters verses are literal gibberish. They said before they played it, he just mumbles shit into the mic
For the lyric with a missing part "But I can't stop writing your name ([?])" it's
"But I can't stop writing your name, all over the place"
@@strawberrycrxmeThanks for the missing lyric!
Instead of food you should change it to footing
After the "so if you'll say it" i think its "i'm gonna start. I don't wanna lose you"
This should be the live edit
cannot describe how much i love the line "LOVE LETTERS AND LANDFILLS"
IS THERE REALLY NO HAPPINESS (EARLY VERSION)
JUST LIKE MUSICIAN
One day james and porter will have a track together, its bound to happen
praying
please
Knowing Porter he'll probably mix segments of the demo into his live performances and I'm all for it 🙏 demo goes hard
I can't believe how good this is.
YOOOOO JAMES IVY VOCALS AHHHHHH I WOULDVE LOST MY MIND OVER THIS VERSION 😭😭😭
James Ivy really is that mf dude, need more music from him asap
I keep coming back to this demo. It needs to be finished!! I like this version more than some songs on the smile album unfortunately (not that I dislike the other songs)
This is so good. Jeez - the talent on these folks.
This version is one i hope they still figure out
I'm not saying is there really no happiness is worse or anything I'm saying this version has a lot of merit on its own
@Coolio_Ash They could call it "Skyscrapers" or "Even If You're Not Looking".
the chorus and refrain is soooooo catchy
I need the full version on Spotify this is so good
I was racking my brain figuring out where I have heard that beat drop before and have finally realized it sounds like Beings by Madeon.
This needs to be released wth it's too good😭😭
It's so completely different! Needs its own release!
"Ngl this version sucks" meanwhile I'm screaming RELEASE IT RELEASE IT at the screen😅
THIS IS SOO GOOD !???
Love this Porter. Can't wait to see you this November
I love this!
i unironically prefer this version
release................. release it................................................. im causing an actualization....
this is actually really good wth
I WANT THEM TO RELEASE THIS SO BAD
Porter needs to drop this on soundcloud
hope they finish this and release

kinda reminds me of the yearbook demo by james ivy instupendo and harry teardrop
jimmy sounds so nice over it
I NEED THIS!!!!!!!
PLEASE someone point me to songs with a similar vibe to this. i doubt this demo will be released fully but i have been obsessed with it
James Ivy's entire discography
under tongues by james ivy
Why did they scrap this 😭 it’s so portery
the new chorus is admittedly way more catchy but it's so sad that they couldn't keep the james ivy melody
@@Tyc9909 it’s not like they can’t release an alternate version, it’s not an uncommon thing for artists to do. i could see it happening if a ton of people ask for it on social media
Sounds like complete different song
2:14 holy
amazing!
Is there really no happiness pt.2 on SMILE Deluxe
praying this becomes a reality
SO GOOOD is this on soundcloud
Obsessed
wowie
wow there's quite lots of different from the final version
HOLY FUCK JAMES IVY FEATURE
I am a fan of the james ivyfication of porter robinson
LIVE EDIT PLS
release that shit now
maybe for a live extended version? this is a really cool demo
ah rorida
bro, is better than the final version for me
Pls someone remix this song with nurture voice :D
AND I WANT IT TO BE WRONG
but it’s overrr and doneee
Definitely has the demo feel to it. The direction is all over the place and makes no sense, the mixing is really poor given the vocals are barely audible most of the time. It's like a bulletin board of ideas to filter out later. It sucks, but bleeds with potential.
this one does kinda suck lmao
the released version is one of my favorites in the album tho
This is better than every song off of that album what the fuck
If only the album wasnt shit
@@imchad6110 you're gonna want to sit down, I have some news for you that might shock you
If this is bad pls give us a b(ad)-sides 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
