Going to see Imagine Dragons tomorrow July 23, 2026 for the first time. Could not be more excited. I’ll be clapping in the nosebleeds.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to find a specific version of “Natural” by Imagine Dragons, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

It sounds more rock-oriented than the original studio version. The guitar is much more prominent, and the singer’s vocal delivery is rougher/more aggressive, with a stronger rock feel.

A few details I remember:

-It doesn’t have the instrumental intro from the original.\n- It starts immediately with “Will you hold the line”.

The guitar comes in right on the word “line”.

- During the chorus, on the second and third repetitions, it sounds like he says something different instead of “Natural” — I hear something like “shaker bone” or “shake your bones”(obs: I don't speak English fluently).

- The arrangement overall feels heavier and more guitar-driven than the album version.

’m not sure if this is a live version, radio session, alternate mix, or a cover.

Does anyone know which version this might be, or where I could find it?Thanks!

Before anyone jumps to conclusions, I doubt this is him. Not only do the vocals sound distinctly not like Dan, they don't even sound similar to each other. Fight sounds like Brandon Flowers and Keep Fighting sounds like Mike Shinoda. What probably happened is that someone with the same name uploaded some slop he generated and Spotify accidentally uploaded it to the more famous Dan's profile. Something similar actually happened with Dan and Aja's old side project Egyptian where a couple songs from a Dub Reggae producer of the same name were snuck into the mix. I'm posting this to try and get these songs removed or at least moved to the correct person's profile, as I don't want misinformation to be spread.

List you favorite studio albums in order and your favorite song from each album. Mercury is 2 albums because it is, and Dan said so.

1. Mercury Act 2 - Higher Ground

2. Mercury Act 1 - Easy Come Easy Go

3. Smoke + Mirrors - Smoke and Mirrors

4. Night Visions - Nothing Left to Say

5. Origins - Natural

6. Evolve - Believer

7. Loom - Take Me to the Beach

Hey guys, cerium here, I found 90 images of rare ID media stored on the University of Nevada Las Vegas archive, I had to ask them for permission to access it, and they did! Big thanks to UNLV for giving me access to these, In this post, I will go through all folders shared.

[November 3, 2016] Mac playing snippets of demos the band was working on for the History of Rock class in the University of Nevada Las Vegas. (35 files)

This one is the most interesting one, if you don't know, Mac Reynolds is ID's manager and Dan's brother. Sadly there are no videos for this one, but we do have an order of what was played

As seen on these images, the students were asked to fill out a survey with their feedback on the songs. You can see that 1 means bad, I don't know what the rest means but probably 2 = okay, 3 = good. Eileen Komi edited the picture to see the song order better, and before I show you the order we concluded with, @ kirkduck on discord asked Mac about the songs and this is what he answered with:

So we have some names of demos like Your Mother, Sooner or Later, and In The Dark. With Mac's list, this is the order we concluded with:

1. Only
2. Believer
3. Rise Up
4. In The Dark
5. Boomrang
6. Bad Liar
7. Yesterday
8. Love
9. Walking the wire
10. IMIUTY
11. Primadonna
12. West Coast
13. Whatever It Takes
14. Waves
15. Bullet In A Gun
16. Zero
17. Natural
18. Thunder
19. Start Over
20. Cool Out
21. Birds

The reason why Your Mother and Sooner or Later weren't included is because they weren't in the papers is that it was probably only being played to the 2 students still in the classroom after the class ended

According to the photos metadata, the class's duration was 1 hour and 3 minutes.

[June 25, 2009] Imagine Dragons performing Clouds at Hard Rock Cafe

[August 14, 2009] Imagine Dragons working at the Battle Born Studios.

ID working on self titled back in 2009 at Battle Born. We know that they were working on Take Take Take that day

By zooming into the computer, you can see the project file's name being "Take Take Take"

[March 7, 2010] Imagine Dragons unreleased cover art and portraits.

Some portraits photographed by Bill Hughes and some unreleased cover art, we know it's unreleased cover art from the folder name "Imagine Dragons digital cover art and portraits", and this cover art wasn't used. Could have been cover art for H&S.

Google Drive link for the folders

That was all folders, once again, thank you UNLV and the photographers for these images.

1: A while ago i saw a google drive (i think) with all ID songs on it including a lot of demos and i havent been able to find it anywhere after

2: Were the official instrumentals for the LOOM songs ever released? Specifically I'm tryna find In Your Corner for a cover

I wasnt able to find the answer to either on my own so i come to you
thanks in advance :]

Im watching YouTube and a clip from Imagine Dragon's concert shows Dan Reynolds out front in a skinny suit, and all I can see is a book boyfriend and a New Adult Romance plot about the famous band's sexy front man who falls for a girl in the crowd at a show, circa 2014.

Natural was released on July 17, 2018. It's the lead single from Origins.

On kworb.net, it is currently ID's 8th most-streamed song on Spotify (1,590,324,159 streams) and 7th most-viewed video on YouTube (693,596,803 views).

To celebrate, make sure you stream/watch it at least 10 times today, to boost The Natural Project from u/Patient_Awareness665 🥳

Can be any song released or unreleased

Ignore platzman, please
