Hey There!
So back in November 2015, I made a blog post already on Atmosphere by Shinedown that was released onto their album Us And Them in 2005. However, they later released a digital deluxe version that contained demo versions of their songs, which were later altered into the ones we all know today!
Despite all of the demo versions being at the end of Shinedown's album on Spotify, the original version that I listened to in IT didn't have all of the deluxe tracks on. However, on Monday 11th May 2015, I was listening to the full album on Spotify whilst revising for my GCSEs, because I had four exams the next day, two in French and two in Biology. The next day, all I had in my head constantly was Atmosphere - Demo, and in the Biology exam, when I was feeling so ill, and I was almost losing the will to live, this song just kept repeating constantly in my head. At the end of the day, when I got home, I decided to re-listen to this song, and somehow came up with my own personal dance to this song, which mainly consists of my swiping my shoulders - most embarrassing!
I'm not entirely sure why I love this version so much. Obviously, it is less rock than the actual version of the song, and I can understand that it wasn't on the original album because it didn't really fit in with the whole theme of the song, but there is just something about it that draws me to it. It's probably the really cool beat, and how it always makes me want to dance and mime along with the song, but I just can't get enough of it!
In comparison, I actually really like the lyrics to the demo version, especially the first verse of the song, because "say a prayer for me" really fits in with my interpretation of this song that I gave in November 2015. Unfortunately, the song lyrics weren't available on my usual website, so I had to rely on forums, and listening to the song many times myself for the lyrics. If you feel that any of the lines are wrong, please don't hesitate to tell me!
All in all, I really do hope that you've enjoyed reading this week's blog post, and that you'll stay tuned in the future for more posts for me throughout my Shinedown journey!
I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Atmosphere - Demo incase you're interested!
Say a prayer for me
Until later on
Stay awake for me
Unless I'm too far gone
It makes no difference to me
The haze is gone, now I can see
Looking down on the atmosphere
Take your number, wait in line
Not so frail from the exposure
Taking pictures with my mind
Staying here in the sky high
Looking back on my life
Knowing now at least I tried
Finding closure before I die
It makes no difference to me
The haze is gone, now I can see
Looking down on the atmosphere
Take your number, wait in line
Not so frail from the exposure
Taking pictures with my mind
You must know I found my road
And you must know I'm going home
Don't look back, dreams of rowe
I must do this on my own
Looking down on the atmosphere
Take your number, wait in line
Not so frail from the exposure
Taking pictures with my mind
Looking down on the atmosphere
Take your number, wait in line
Not so frail from the exposure
Taking pictures with my mind
Taking pictures with my mind
