Re: Won't Tell
and in my dreams you told
me to let the longing go
and the promise I still hold
wont tell a soul
love that sequence
me to let the longing go
and the promise I still hold
wont tell a soul

The way Ed sings those last two lines is one of my favourite moments on the whole record.stip wrote:and in my dreams you told

The melody hits me right in the feels.

Re: Won't Tell
Ok, i love this one. Its so fucking good really. Lyrically i dont know what it means but the whole ¨wont tell a soul¨ kinda made me remember of Dissident, kinda like the other part of that possible story maybe.

Re: Won't Tell
Jeff's story on the Broken Record pod about writing this song in a dream makes me like it even more. It's also interesting that he wrote the lyrics. Might be some of the strongest he's written.

Re: Won't Tell
Does he have a credit in the booklet? I thought this was Jeff's dream, and Eddie used it as a starting point, but the chorus lyrics may have been from Jeff. At this point I don't know where I got what info from, and what has gotten mixed up in my brain

Re: Won't Tell
Everyone is credited with every song in the booklet. Nothing individual except features (like Sean Penn on cue ball).
Jeff says he gave the whole thing to Ed and Ed interpreted the song. Which he says took Ed a bit to figure out how to do.

Re: Won't Tell
Jeff had a version of the song from the dream.
Watt asked if Jeff had anything else to show the band
Showed them this song. Jeff gave ed the lyrics he wrote.
Ed took that, changed the phrasing, and melody a bit, then rewrote lyrics interpreting jeffs lyrics as the dream.

Re: Won't Tell
I imagine Ed collaborated on what Jeff gave him. Seems like that was how the whole process worked on DM, more or less.

Re: Won't Tell
But Stone also said he'd been telling the story wrong and let Jeff tell it.
I'm not sure why I'm arguing about this. I'll just believe Jeff and move along.
