@@PerplexedTheta I'm currently recording a shoegaze album myself, about a girl I was once with, who once made me happier than anyone else in the world, and hope I made her happy too, and we literally broke up a few days ago, but we will remain friends (it's a complicated situation, and what caused us to break up was beyond either of our control)... and I will still finish recording the album, and still be her friend through these times, even if we can't be together

This is Slowdive. Neil recorded 4 demos in a cabin or something privately and came back and Dagger was one of the songs. Once in the studio it went through a few versions from what I recall before getting to the album. This is one of those versions. Neil is singing it.

To anyone who's wondering if this is fake, When Neil spoke about Dagger in the Pitchfork Classics Slouvaki doc, he mentioned recording this demo (along with demos for Machine Gun and 40 Days) in a cabin up north all alone. They use this recording in the documentary leading me to believe its legit

Like Neil said, this demo has the lonely feeling from the cabin in which he was living... When I hear it, I think of Neil, strumming his guitar while looking at the sun and the sky, singing, and almost crying...

So it’s very specifically a Neil Halstead solo song, not a Slowdive song as the title advertises, since 80% of Slowdive had no input. Thank you for clearing up the mislabeling of this song. Hopefully the uploader will correct the title, but that would cause it to get fewer views, so we know it won’t be corrected.

@@ibelieveicansoar guess it depends. Technically this demo is just Neil but it he wrote and recorded it specifically for Slowdive (with the final version ending up on Souvlaki), so I don’t think it’s erroneous to say this is a Slowdive demo

@@rusolarusso8372 And for that reason, this song is hitting me much harder than usual tonight... just went through a breakup myself, and it is quite possibly similar to what happened to Neil and Rachel (she left me due to some issues on her side, but we have agreed to remain friends)... similarly to Neil, I then proceeded to record five demos at home (four of which I wrote after the breakup), and will likely include some of those on a future album (incidentally, I will probably use some of them on the first ever shoegaze album I'll record, most of my stuff up till now has been psychedelic rock... I'll release it sometime in autumn, after my noise rock album which is set to be released later this July)
