The Truth
FROM DEMO TO RELEASE
Hear what modern tools can make of original work: the demo as it was written and recorded, next to the finished track.

THE STORY
Your Truth....
Written years ago, one sitting, acoustic guitar, couch. A song about seeing through noise, about not letting other people's words define what's true for you.
Not one demo but several, over time, each one another attempt to get it right. (I'll include one here.) With each demo came another push to actually release it, home sessions, studio time, session musicians. Every attempt failed. The song kept its shape but never found its finish.
Then modern tech opened the gates. Tools that could do what the studios and the session musicians couldn't, or wouldn't, or weren't around for.
THE WORDS
VERSE 1
Actual knowledge seems to fade, The truth is hidden far away, it's still easy
VERSE 2
Looking into space Finding only shadow haze it's still easy
CHORUS
Bend the truth to what you want Don't let words tell you what it is Bend the truth to what you are Not what words tell you what it is Bend the truth to what you want Don't let words tell you what it is
VERSE 3
A boundary here, a boundary there Narrow down, ignore everywhere Not so easy
VERSE 4
Live by fear, nothings clear Run live for your career Not so easy
CHORUS
Bend the truth to what you want Don't let words tell you what it is Bend the truth to what you are Not what words tell you what it is Bend the truth to what you want Don't let words tell you what it is
BRIDGE
Waking bad for your own style You're fading away [2x]
SOLO
CHORUS
Bend the truth to what you want Don't let words tell you what it is Bend the truth to what you are Not what words tell you what it is Bend the truth to what you want Don't let words tell you what it is
