Turn Away
« on: September 17, 2013, 02:43:44 PM »
Having recently acquired a few of Justin and Dean's recent shows on bootlegs I am becoming more and more obsessed with Turn Away.  What a strong, emotional song it is.  I can't believe it has never seen an official release apart from the Justin and Friends live version.  Does anyone know if this was ever studio recorded and of a demo version is available anywhere?

JS said in an interview that no studio version could ever do the live version justice.....or words to that effect. Hence there's no studio version. I agree with you - it's a classic, emotive tune.

It's very much in the same boat as Changing Of The Light for almost identical reasons....... Both classic and very emotive songs........

I second what Barty said. But I'm pretty sure I also heard Justin say that they had tried to record it for a couple of albums starting around the time of T&C but never succeeded to capture the live feel so I guess there might be some recordings out there somewhere, but not ones the band were ever happy with. I like the BGILE version best myself...
