Hey,
Thanks for listening and commenting
Happy Friday!

Sunny Day
© 2017 Kenny Leverett

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bluer sky
There’s no clouds here in our way
So many people pass us by
But you’re the only one that I see today

And if I can speak my mind
I can’t hide what’s inside
That you are my sunny day

I knew I was waiting
Waiting for someone
And so many times I wanted to just give up
I didn’t think I’d ever really find the one
But then you appeared and I knew real love

There’s no clouds here in our way
Now that you are here to stay
Girl you are my sunny day

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bluer sky

HI Kenny,

What we've enjoyed about your music recently is the variety in style. You have a real nice mix of laid back and high energy in this one. Your guitar work sounds great and your gritty voice gives this a pleasant but biting edge. As always, we enjoyed uit a bunch. Best to you.

Alan & Di

Kenny,
Nice one! There`s a loose rocking feel to this that reminded me of post-Beatles McCartney and the happy vibe is complimented by those harmonies- love the whoops!
Very enjoyable.

Very cool sound on this, Kenny.

The guitars all work nicely together.

A powerful rock vocal. The woop is great! (seems some "breakup" with the harmonies on "sunny.." - though that might be an accumulation of "rasps").

You are on a tear. And always SO catchy. you have a real knack for that (the way Elvis Costello always did).

Kenny, Great rocker. Super vocal. I also thought the harmonies were distorted. I also loved the woop. Another really catchy write. Good job! Tom

Kenny,

Very nice rock song.
Well composed as always.
We do think however that the mix has slightly too much hi frequency in it.
But that's just a small nit wink

Very enjoyable.

Robert


Robert, I appreciate that, wow! McCartney (I wish)

I was trying to convey joy, thanks for noticing the whoops

I was happy that I wouldn't have to sing it again!

I think an upbeat, happy, simple love song is hard to write

maybe the hardest for me, so I really appreciate your comments

The only thing you need to do with that gritty voice is keep using it. We'll keep listening.

¡Tengo un buen oído para la música! Hasta luego, amigo,

thanks floyd for the kind words

appreciate your input on the breakup/distortion on the vocals,

I think it might be that something happened with the upload, I'm

thinking about doing it over. I listened to the harmony track soloed

and it sounded like the poster boy for COPD of course and the hum

from the freezer in the room, I heard the boom coming up thru the floor

from the airport that's about a mile away and a couple of the dogs barking,

just the normal things that everybody deals with, but no pegging or breaking

up that I could discern. Seriously, I do appreciate this and it'll be fun to try to

re-record some of this to make it better. love Costello
