The Front Bottoms: Katana (Demo)

The Front Bottoms' official audio for their track 'Katana'. A Demo from the Back On Top Sessions.

[pmigranate]

these demos make Back on Top feel like a Grandma Ep

Check check

Is it raining where you are?
The only thing I can think to ask
But nothing over hurt so bad
As the no that you said back

But ain't that the truth man
Those are just facts
The farther you go from where you start
The harder it is to get back
In order to figure things out
I got to get real real confused
I'm just trying to figure out what I started man
I'm just doing what I need to do

Love of my life
Gone forever
Love of my life
Gone for good
Love of my life
Gone forever
Aw get her back
Good lord you know I wish I could

Try to explain
I try to explain to you
That everything I'm doin right now
Won't pay off for another year or two
I never thought that it'd get so far
But now I'm doin what I got to do
I understand that business means business
And I hope that you do to

I do not blame you
Your natural instinct to protect
You gave me a list of things to keep this going
And I only got a few more things to get
This ones for the privacy I think that I deserve
No you cannot join in god damn these people gots some nerve

Leave me alone
I'm tryna get in the zone
Leave me alone
I'm tryna get in the zone

Love of my life
Gone forever
Love of my life
Gone for good

the more i listen to these demos the more happier I get no joke.

[cccrit]

Took one of my favorite Back on Top songs and made it even better

[indiequas]

man what did fueled by ramen do to you guys. this is fucking gold

[mem]

I like this way more than West Virginia to be honest.

[burnergmail]

if you're as confused as i was the image is a slightly cracked coffee mug.

[AndrewEdelblum]

Goodness, thanks for the goosebumps you gave me. A whole 'nother side to West Virginia — I love it!

[bignugz]

These demos are golden, my gf showed me you guys and so far I'd say my favorite stuff is the I Hate My Friends EP and these Demos, you guys put a lot of work into your music and more bands should look to you guys as an example

[BoringTVchannel]

okay I love west virginia and historic cemetery but like I almost like the demos better. what I fell in love with about tfb was the fact that they're messy and under produced and back on top was far too clean and far too produced. the only reason I'd like west virginia better is that I like the electric guitar and the riffs in it and as far as historic cemtery goes, it features gdp so it kinda has to be my favorite.

[jailsgrr]

honestly. who's cutting the lyrics out of front bottoms songs. i listened to going grey yesterday and every song i was like "this is pretty good but there is probably a secret version that is thirty times better." for real. who thinks front bottoms songs are better with less lyrics. ill fight them

[CorrosiveColin]

"No you can't join in these people go some nerve."

Damn... that's the first time I have ever questioned whether or not I should be singing at their shows...

[ThisIsActuallyJustaGhost]

i love songs that make me feel angsty and entitled to basic things like privacy because I never feel entitled to anything, even the healthy things, and I am way too passive internally. I give up. That is why my depression is so bad.

[kasivalentine]

back on top was really good but these demos are so much better, i miss this kind of sound

[savannahm]

A song that has so much meaning to me just got a little more closer to my heart. I love this. I love all of these releases TFB. You have grown into such a beautiful group that incorporates all of my favorite parts of music into one amazing sound. Absolutely wonderful, keep doing whatever it is you're doing my friends :-)

[purpleplessure]

YES!! Love this version. Wish this could've made it onto the album. Love it much! Prefer this version over the album version any day. so good

[ctrouble]

this song makes me want a cigarette...

[Narzick]

So this is what TFB would sound like if they still had that gritty beautiful sound they started with instead of this new overproduced sound? Amazing. At least they're still gritty and amazing live!

[juliettefacklam]

there isn't anything better than this right now

[Immy]

this is my favorite song right now. the lyrics are just so poignant and relatable. i want it on soundcloud at least 🥺
