When It Comes To You
© 2019 Kenny Leverett

Down on the shoreline drive
There’s a cool breeze off the water
Watching a beautiful day
Slowly fading away

Haven’t been here in ages
Thought it was too much bother
Reliving a past
Accepting that nothing lasts

But when it comes to you
It’s a no can do
Who would’ve thought I’d be the one
Who couldn’t move on
When it comes to you

So many familiar places
Flashbacks of moments gone by
In a younger time
Hiding inside my mind

I still see you at twenty
Part woman part bright eyed girl
Looking in my direction
And offering the world

But when it comes to you
It’s a no can do
Who would’ve thought I’d be the one
Who couldn’t move on
When it comes to you

But when it comes to you
It’s a no can do
Never thought I’d be the one
Who couldn’t move on
When it comes to you

Drums Acoustic Folk Rock
Bass 1174 PopCalypso
Piano 1422 Acoustic PopCalypso

Accordion 1173 PopCalypso

Kenny,

Awesome song!!!

Love the band! You keep coming up with good ones...

The combination of BGVs and accordion on the chorus is inspired! Sounds SO good!
You have a STAR-quality voice. A singer-songwriter-rocker voice. Like a Bob Seger. Or a Rod Stewart. I envy you that!

Super songwriting.
Your melodies are always so "sing-able". SO good.
Your lyrics are comfortable, yet fresh - a complexity to their simplicity... conversational (as lyrics should be) and meaningful. You write I-know-that-feeling! kinds of lyrics - nothing "contrived"...
Amazingly good.

I loved this.

The according sounds ace - reminds me of Sandy from The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle.
Sweet song.
Well sung too.
Is it me or do the vocals get rather louder in the last verse & chorus?


Cheers

Kenny,

I like the sweet yearning in this song. The chorus melody is simply memorable and had me singing along.
Of course, I`m with Floyd on the voice envy I get listening to your raspy pipes!
Mix sounds good - the accordion was a great choice.

Thank you so much,

you are the ambassador here and the ambassador of cool

If I had only one listen and comment, this one would be enough to keep me going

and think that I have something to offer.

You are a true professional and I think you set the tone for everyone here

to strive to be better. You also set the tone for kindness.

Your comments always mean a lot to me because I'm a big fan of yours.

I appreciate your support and am glad that you liked this song.

Thanks for the listen and the kind words Ray,

great reference, man I loved that album

I do appreciate your critical ears, you give good feedback

I have a peak limiter on the vocal so it couldn't have gotten too out of hand

This is so true. I wish I wrote that quatrain. Great stuff. Excellent choice of instrumentation. It fits your song perfectly.

Excellent song Kenny. Especially liked the mix on this song. Very cool how the vocal sits out front of the band and the instruments are so clear and distinct. Well done...

"So many familiar places
Flashbacks of moments gone by
In a younger time

Four short lines that pack a ton of emotion...

You distill writes down to the "all that's needed"...never anything less or more. And to do that you gotta have something to say as you always do.

Back before his disco years there was a Rod Stewart that we listened to a lot and still do -- his first two albums after leaving Faces are masterpieces in our book.
This tune, like many of yours, would for us sit perfectly in that playlist. The comparo is not based simply on your voice but rather on the whole package of sounds that he captured on those two albums (Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells A Story). It's like we're being treated to newly discovered cuts from them. Yeah!

But then Son Volt comes to mind also. It’s all good!

GREAT!!!

J&B

Yeah, Floyd pretty much nailed it with his comments I think.

As good as it gets, and one of your best vocals ever.

Loved it!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
