I Don't Wanna Fight - Demo 1995 (Patreon)

I think this was the last song I did before deciding not to pursue a performer artist career back in 1995.
It has also an interesting backstory. I had a friend of mine, Cristy, living in NY at that time. She was pushing me to move with her to the US and pursue there a career as a singer. She had some connection with a lady from Elektra (the record label) and on a flash visit to Valencia convinced me to do (yet) another "cold" demo for them to test their interest. She was also told by her friend to come with me to the studio and make sure that it was actually me doing everything as I told them. Don't know why that fixation those years about checking my real abilities, but it sure was an ongoing thing.
We met at my studio one Saturday morning (maybe at 9), and I wrote, performed and mixed this demo before going for lunch at 3pm. She took the DAT master and sent it to her contact on Monday. By Wednesday they called me asking if I'd be interested in spending one month in NY talking things out and checking if I was ok moving there. I didn't think much about it and said yes, and that Friday went out at night to say goodbye to my friends... only to meet who was to become my first boyfriend.
So come Monday and after deciding I rather had a personal life before fame (remember I told you on another demo I had a bad experience with it) I told them "thank you but I'm not going" and stayed, and forgot about being a singer and dedicated myself to produce others.
Fun fact: the song has different lyrics and less parts than the definitive version, which I finished on 2016 for "Songs For A Better Future". Enjoy!
