The Victim
A demo of a song I would return to years later.

This song developed as it went, and gathered meaning in its abstract nature like a snowball rolling downhill. At an epic length of almost six minutes it was our longest track, it kept growing organically until some kind of bizarre feedback-drenched guitar solo came out the other end.
Tried to rework a year or two later with a band, didn’t work. Too moody. This song wants to be a happy one. So smile already.
Didn’t dive too deep; came up jaunty. It wasn’t easy to fit “inevitable” in like that but if Dylan can do it, so could I.
This must be my third or fourth take on this song, now with an actual band. It’s certainly well-developed at this point.
This is a very slick version of a song that was in our set for some time, and that had been written more or less a couple of years prior.
