Steven Wilson remarks that this is “my original demo of the song. This was actually the first of two demos I made of Lazarus, and it features a very different middle 8, subsequently rewritten for the second demo and final album recording.

“Lazarus was one of several songs that were based on a film script that I was working on at the time with my friend Mike Bennion, and the David mentioned in the song is a central character in that script.

“Lazarus (first demo) performed by SW at No Man’s Land, December 2003.”
