"Honey, You Know Where To Find Me" (instrumental demo) - mp3 of the week
posted by davidt on Thursday August 02 2001, @09:00AM

 Following the uncovering of the four unreleased tracks last week on the same site, Mrs. Shankly sends word that her site, Mrs. Shankly's mp3 of the week now has what is believed to be an instrumental demo of the song "Honey, You Know Where To Find Me" (from the rumored "Miraval sessions"). A brief summary from the page:
This is an instrumental demo of Honey, You Know Where to Find Me, by Alain Whyte. This was mentioned in Morrissey-solo back in February this year. I don't think it is a hoax, but then again I have no way to verify the authenticity of this track.

Thanks to Franck for sharing this track. Here is what Franck had to say on this demo, Where is it come from? In 1994, Alain White make a tape for Moz with new material for the future "southpaw LP". One of my best friend, worked with the band in Miraval (12/94) and Moz gave him the tape. Just for info, My friend said me Alain is a great man, a wonderful guitarist and ... one of his favorite song is "Pretty Girls Make Graves".
A photo of the band during the session from Franck is also included.

UPDATE (Dec. 11, 2001): Boz wrote in to say that "Honey, You Know Where To Find Me" is a real song, and he was the one who actually wrote it.

    I don't know what to believe anymore. Honestly, unless Alain himself verifies this, we'll never know.

        VERY interesting, but where's the melody? (Score:1)
        I find this much more interesting than the unreleased tracks (which where pretty crappy, though interesting never the less). I have always wanted to get a glimpse of the creative process. How does Moz cooperate with the songwriters, what kind of material do they supplement him with, and so on??? Finally, if this is genuine, can we get an idea.

        However, where's the melody!? This is just strumming chords! You cannot possibly build a song out of this, without doing a lot of songwriting yourself. You need a melody before you can write lyrics. Can there be another track where Alain has added suggestions for the melody? Maybe this is a "naked" track that Moz can use to try out his own singing? That is my guess.

          I forgot to add that the guitar playing DOES match the chords written on the paper - which we saw a picture of moths ago. So if the paper is genuine, then the tape probably is too.

        Now what I would really like to see are similar tapes with tracks that actually became recorded. It would be really cool to compare the first ideas with the final result.

          I think that the song is not that great until the part where the chorus would be. It doesn't sound like Alain's style. I could be wrong.

            In Reality.. (Score:0)
            This is actually a song called "Plaid World" by a band called Truxo Leaper. It is the instrumental version that was the b-side to the single. It was only available as a German import. Funny how it is being passed off as a Morrissey song. Go figure. It came out in the early 90's and there full length was very similar to 80's Smith's style. Long out of print by now.

              How come a search brings up absolutely nothing on this so called band...even on a german music site?? Prove evryone wrong by recording the track and sharing it with all of us sorry, sad believers......I hope you're wrong. It sounds like an Alain track to me and doesn't sound like something any band would issue as "instrumental".

              This IS NOT "Honey You Know Where To Find Me" (Score:0)
              I have heard "Honey You Know Where To Find Me" and I can tell you with 100% accuracy that this demo IS NOT a demo for "Honey You Know Where To Find Me". The actual version is more elaborate and softer in tone. There is not even a hint of "Honey You Know Where To Find Me" in this track. Those who have heard it should be able to confirm this.

                You know, if I were Moz, I would not release a new album either, just in spite of all the retards on this site. If you guys were my fan base, I would call it a day. Losers! You act so immature and childish, everything Moz is not.

                this demo was recorded by alain earlier in 1994. then "honey" was recorded at miraval in 12/94 and probably in england in 1995. the anonymous person who said this demo is not real is able to say the title of this song. why? i'm sure 100% this song is an alain white song written for Moz. if this person heard honey, he heard a final version of this demo too. i can't say this one is a liar (i don't think) but, i'm not a liar. This demo is 100% real and the guitar tab (which is real too) seems to confirm this track is honey. That's all i can say.

                  You should be aware that whatever song this turns out to be, or not to be, the song shows a great
                  deal of style within it's arrangement. I can only dream that - one day - Morrissey's amazingly penned lyrics in these songs see the light of day.

                  The Guitars and drums - wow - this really shows that Mr White and Mr Boorer ROCK ! If this is from an old tape, just imagine what the DAT sounds like !
