Everything I Never Told You Is True

Those with any interest in how a song develops might find this post interesting. To wit, I recorded a demo yesterday that was sufficient in musicianship, but was less than two minutes long. With the aid of a songwriting partner, I added an extra verse, which stretches the final song close to two and a half minutes in length. Due to the changes, I had to record an entirely different version from scratch.

Posted below is the song in its finished form.




Everything I Never You Told is True

I'd like to know what you have left to prove
Beyond the obvious and subdued
You tell me you're not quite sure of that
But I know your feet always land like a cat

Everything I never told you is true
Everybody knows I've had it with you

You've got to do better, but you'll never leave town
No matter the reason or season of sound
Under permission on the way to shut down

Everything I never told you is true
Everybody knows I've had it with you

I know what I need, ain't that hard to guess
You always were hard to assess
Not sure that you listen to what suits your style
Climbing up the summit of the pile

Everything I never told you is true
Everybody knows I've had it with you

Everything I never told you is true
Everybody knows I've had it with you

So won’t you kindly get out of the way?
You’re the sort who turns everyone’s hair all grey

Now I don’t mean it’s all your fault
But some day you’ll have to be worth your salt

Everything I never told you is true
Everybody knows I've had it with you

Everything I never told you is true
Everybody knows I've had it with you
