Single I The Damn Truth – I Just Gotta Let You Know
THE DAMN TRUTH RELEASE MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “I JUST GOTTA LET YOU KNOW”
“This is the first song from the sessions for our forthcoming studio album that we are recording with our producer Bob Rock (Aerosmith, Metallica, Motley Crue) at Bryan Adam’s recording studio ‘The Warehouse’ in Vancouver,” says TDT’s lead singer Lee-La Baum.
Continues Lee-la, “Working with Bob a second time was even more inspiring than the first. I don’t know exactly what comes over me, but when I’m in the vocal booth singing into Frank Sinatra’s mic, knowing that Bob is in the other room, basically hanging on my every breath, I am able to let go and try all sorts of things that weren’t ever in my mind before. It’s really freaking fun!”
Adds lead guitarist Tom Shemer, “The whole thing started with a riff and I knew immediately that I had something cool here. I showed the riff to Lee-la and she came up with the melody and lyrics for the verses right there on the spot.”
“We had the song banging on high energy from beginning to end, very much in the spirit of The Kinks, and once the train was rolling, there was no stopping it.”
“Once Bob heard the song, he felt that the chorus should be different somehow. It didn’t take long to iron out the details and bring that chorus to a new level”
“There was a real moment of collective emotion when Lee-la sang the chorus for the first time in the studio. We all felt it, it was magical”
“Bob said ‘forget everything you know about guitar playing and just go for it.’ I only played one take of the solo. He was right!”

Without a purpose
I walk the streets all alone
I curse this
My heart is turning to stone
With all the silence and the pain
In your leather jacket frame
WOAH!
Yeah, you got a hold on me
Even the blind can see
What you’re doing to me
When I think about you baby
It sends a shiver through my bones
I can’t deny this feeling lately
But I just gotta let you know
I’m nervous
I’m glued to the phone
Can’t deal with people
Just leave me alone
It’s a 21st century thing
A dream that makes you scream
WOAH!
Yeah, you got a hold on me
Even the blind can see
What you’re doing to me
When I think about you baby
It sends a shiver through my bones
I can’t deny this feeling lately
But I just gotta let you know
