In contrast to the raw rock sound of the early live version posted previously, this mellow home demo of “So Typical” shows how drastic a song can change from it’s original inception to the final recording. In typical “That Thing You Do” fashion the song started out slow but by persuasion of the other band members sounded better sped up, so ultimately you hear the faster rock version on “The Independent” album. However, slow and mellow is more often how you will hear it performed live at one of my shows. If you were to map out the song chronologically you would start here, then listen to the early live version, then it’s official release on “The Independent” and follow up with it’s most recent incarnation on “Acoustic Sessions Volume 2” - a lot of versions, but pure insight to life as a song.
