'''"Truth Hits Everybody (remix)"''' is a song written by [[Sting (person) | Sting]] and recorded by [[The Police]] (?) in [[1983]].

=About the song=
Although it's named "remix" this song is actually a re-recording of the [[1978]] original.
[[The Police]] toyed with this song a lot. They played the normal fast version for a few years before experimenting with a much slower tempo. 
In May [[1981]] they jammed at [[Surrey Sound Studios]] with the plan to record a b-side for an upcoming single. Again they played a slower version, not unlike this version which appeared as a b-side in [[1983]].

=Personnel=
Normally it would have been:

*[[Sting (person) | Sting]] – bass guitar, vocals
*[[Andy Summers]] – guitar
*[[Stewart Copeland]] – drums

But this may just be a [[Sting]] demo. [[Stewart Copeland]] doesn't remember playing it. [[Jeff Seitz]] thinks that the drum sounds are from a Synclavier, which was [[Sting]]'s preferred choice of instrument in later years - but in [[1983]] it might as well have been an Oberheim DMX (Stewart used a Fairlight). The guitar part doesn't quite sound like it's Andy...

<pre>
Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold

Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy

Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
</pre>
