A newly released demo of Spoon<\/a>\u2019s \u201cInside Out\u201d points to the band\u2019s earlier era \u2014 and shows the evolution of the track. In this simpler form, it sounds closer to Spoon\u2019s more straightforward music on their breakthrough records, Girls Can Tell<\/em> or Kill the Moonlight<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Britt Daniels plays the piano on the demo, crooning the lyrics with a little bit of grit in his voice. The whole thing lasts less than two minutes, as opposed to the album track, which was one of the longest on the record.<\/p>\n

When Spoon put out They Want My Soul<\/em> five years ago, \u201cInside Out\u201d was one of the highlights. It\u2019s a deeply textured song, which the band built from layer after layer of synthesizer, emulating strings and Asian-sounding harps. Frontman Britt Daniel<\/a>\u2019s lyrics about love\u2019s fragile nature seemed to float atop the hypnotic orchestrations.<\/p>\n

Daniel talked about the song earlier this year for an installment of Rolling Stone\u2019s \u201cMy Life in 15 Songs\u201d<\/a><\/em> franchise, where he explained how the band built out the arrangement. \u201cA lot of that was Alex [Fischel], who was fully in the band by that point, and what he can do on keyboards,\u201d Daniel said. \u201cI wrote the song on piano, played it for my girlfriend at the time. She was not impressed, but I was like, \u2018Something is happening here.\u2019 That piano part ended up being what Alex played with the harp sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
