Never Told Anyone

from Exiting the Shadows by Remedy

/

about

This song, as is probably obvious, talks about having a secret from everyone, and the isolation and angst that comes with that concealment.
There is resolution with the very last lyric, "'til now", preceeding the final guitar solo. It's easy for a recovering addict to talk about
secrets from everyone, and the resolution that comes when those secrets are finally revealed. Hopefully some of that sentiment can be heard
or felt in this song.

Production Notes:

This tremelo effect on the guitar comes from a hand-wired Marshall 1974x 18w combo amp with the tremelo effect built into the amp, triggered
via footpedal. The effect had the very strange quirk of disappearing (or having a much shallower effect) when the amp got too hot, so it had to
be captured on the first take, or else, I had to turn the amp off and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before I could try again. Thankfully
we caught this bed track on the first take.

lyrics

Sometimes I get a fever inside these bones
Sometimes I little shake in my bed alone
Running out the feeling
Keeping out of touch
Breaking out the habit of thinking way too much

I never told anyone
I never told anyone
I never told anyone
not a soul....

Sometimes there's a silent guest inside my home
Sometimes there's an eagerness I can't postpone
Silently pretending that it doesn't mean a thing
when there's never a knock
and never a ring....

I never told anyone
no I never told anyone
no I never, no I never told anyone
not a soul....

And it's hard to appreciate it for something real.
yes it's hard to, appreciate.. . .

I never told anyone
no I never told anyone
no I never, no I never told anyone
not a soul....'til now
