Trivia/Info

  • This was the first official single from The Spine.
  • This song may have first been mentioned by John Linnell a year before The Spine's release in a 2003 interview with MSN[1]:
Well, we're busy cooking up lots of new material. John F. has a really great song called "I Can Tell" [sic] or something like that. I've got a few that I like. I've been singing into [a] vocoder a bunch lately.
  • The bridge is prerecorded and played back during live performances.
  • The lyrics of the second chorus of the song appears as an epigraph to issue #2 of the Marvel Comics limited series "Super-Villain Team-Up: MODOK's 11".
