Singled Out: Maria Taylor's Never Thought I'd Feel New

Maria Taylor recently released "Never Thought I'd Feel New," the second song from her first album in more than 7 years "Story's End" (out April 3rd). To celebrate she tells us about the song. Here is the story:

This song says exactly what it means - melodically, musically, and lyrically. It's about how rare and fortunate it is to feel new again. It's about breaking out of the confines of our own thoughts. of other people's thoughts. It's about letting go, gaining clarity, and feeling alive.

I started writing this song 6 years ago. I would send tracks to my friend, Brad Armstrong, who would add a bunch of cool sh*t and send it back. This went on for years, as I kept changing the chords, the melodies, and the words. I would get frustrated and shelve it for months at a time.

We got my brother, Macey Taylor, to play bass and Louis Schefano to play drums. Finally, in a last attempt to finish it, I asked my friend, Nik Freitas, to take a stab at writing a melody for the chorus. That was the missing link!! It was done :) The track was produced by Brad Armstrong, mixed by Ben Brodin and mastered by Doug VanSloun.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen and watch for yourself below and learn more here
