Girl You're Just A Mess https://soundcloud.com/kfl44/girl-youre-just-a-messGirl You’re Just A Mess © 2016 Kenny Leverett Stole a Strat guitar and got a band Took the spotlight, now you’re in demand I learned a thing or two from watching you Promise a lot of love but never will be true Promise a lot of love yeah girl that’s what you do There was a moment you let me in I think you needed a real friend Changed like the weather and broke my heart Got cold indifference down to an art Such a rising star such a success But I know your secret girl, you’re just a mess The lights are flashing the club is hot All eyes are on you girl to see what you got Slither and shake you move so well These little followers are under your spell So outrageous, sweetheart of the press But I know your secret girl, you’re just a mess I think I hear your Momma callin’ I know your cuts all run deep And I know that you’re losing sleep You can’t get yer Daddy’s love It must be awful tough Such a rising star such a success But I know your secret girl, you’re just a mess This is the Voltage Style featuring Shannon Forrest on drums. I added 586 Background Blues Harmonica and my guitar parts. (had stopped writing for awhile, couldn't resist this groove)

Kenny,
This is a GREAT rock write!
"Stole a Strat guitar and got a band
Took the spotlight, now you’re in demand"
Great start!
"Changed like the weather and broke my heart
Got cold indifference down to an art"
Killer couplet!!!
"Slither and shake you move so well
These little followers are under your spell"
Nice alliteration.
Your 2 line chorus is killer, too. And the change the 2nd time around ("So outrageous, sweetheart of the press...") makes it that much better...
And...man! you killed that vocal! - your best ever (and they are ALWAYS good...) That is heart-and-soul singin'!
Nice guitar touches. I did want those drums up just a tad.
So glad to see a 44kfl post again.... I remain a fan.

Floyd said it all, and better than I could. Wonderful!! Just a fantastic rocker! Love the guitar, vocal, harmonica, THE MIX, and of course, the write. I've been wondering when we'd hear from you again, and am psyched that your back. You should never stop writing. You're a great writer. Love hearing your stuff. Welcome back Kenny!!!! Take care. Greg

Great song! It caught me with the title, kept me with the intro, and will have me listening to it over and over with the rest - thanks for posting! This is today's Hot Forum Topic!

Just raggedy enough to rock on the intro. The vocal has just enough hair on the edges to really cut through. I like the 123 stop and the oohs. Nice touches. A great performance. You're a great singer and writer. Merry Christmas. Tom

Kenny, this song has a tremendous amount of energy to it. I immediately was thinking of Small Faces and then morphed into the Stones. It's like they got together and wrote a song and Rod stepped out of the way and let Mick take over. Your talent is on display! Thanks, Torrey
