I'd written this last year after hurricane Harvey. I sent it to Janice and Bud because I thought Janice could do a killer vocal on it(as she does on everything) They had a hurricane song in the works already (Maria Blues) so I set this on the shelf. Later I put more vocals and my guitar part on but the tracks were all pulled over into my DAW onto one track for a quick demo so there's no real mixing on this. I kind of re-discovered it and decided that it should see the light of day, warts and all. Thanks for the listen and comments.

Stronger Than A Hurricane © 2017 Kenny Leverett
It’s been a long time Waiting for the sun to shine Shine again Feels like a new day comin’ Waiting just around the bend
Like all my lonely Lonely days are gone So glad we made it thru We can make it thru any storm
And it’s a kiss Sweeter than sugarcane We got love baby Stronger than a hurricane Ooh Stronger than a hurricane
We were laying low Dug in tight and good With a cold hard wind Tearing thru the neighborhood
You get knocked down You come right back up again For a new day comin’ Waiting just around the bend
And it’s a kiss Sweeter than sugarcane Sugarcane We got love baby Stronger than a hurricane
And it’s a kiss Sweeter than sugarcane Sugarcane We got love baby Stronger than a hurricane Ooh Stronger than a hurricane
dedicated to the resilience of the people in Texas from my old stomping grounds after hurricane Harvey

Yeah, great groove!
Man, your vocals get me every time! Wish I could sing like that. Nice hearing you play some guitar in there too.
Good song, it definitely deserved to be born and would be worth spending some time on the mix too I think.

Kenny,
A cool Rock song. Killer vocal.
A "classic" sounding chorus that makes it immediately memorable.
For a "quick demo so there's no real mixing" this sounds pretty dang good! A raw energy with an excellent "live" feel. Nice guitar work, too...
Enjoyed it. Immensely.

Kenny,
Love the rough & ready feel you`ve got going here. Killer chorus ( who could resist those ooh hoos!). With a vocal as strong as any you`ve done I`d say this begs for a revisit... as long as you don`t lose the energy that comes through on this demo.
Robert

Good song, it definitely deserved to be born and would be worth spending some time on the mix too I think. Thanks, I think that I really like the raw energy feel and would be afraid that if I re-recorded that it might clean up too much. thanks for the kind words, would love to have you play guitar on something in the future

I really love the rough raw vigor you've put into little tune... Often it seems to me the liveliness of a quick demo sounds better to my ears than a slicked down full blown production... Great job on this one!

Great groove, my head started nodding from the first bars Has very nice rocking 60's feel, some early Beatles and some late Beatles and some raw sound of the Rolling Stones too. Janne

I've got an old song, first one Chris and I did together actually, that badly needs a better mix but whenever I mess with it it loses the feel. Sure, I would be happy to do a guitar track for you sometime.

"And it’s a kiss Sweeter than sugarcane We got love baby Stronger than a hurricane Ooh Stronger than a hurricane"
Man, does that ever stick with you.
It's so weird at times how something in a song can suddenly take you to another place. The first couple words here took me immediate to Long Time Coming with Crosby's voice.
Dunno why but it was a good memory!
Demo? Whatever...like Bob said the energy and live groove are powerful.
We said it...everybody has said it. Your voice is a wonderful instrument. Instantly recognizable in a great way. It and the guitar performance just drive this thing.
Over the top cool listen!

+1 on what Dave said. What a cool groove on this song. Listened on the head phones. There are some very cool things going on in the background. Would love to see this song done live.. Super vocal Kenny and the guitar was excellent..

Hey, there, "44kfl"...
The RealTracks you used in "Stronger Than a Hurricane" rock the blues like they copped an attitude! And what an original set of lyrics you wrote, using an actual and devastatingly destructive climatic disturbance to background a story of a love only made stronger by adversity. That's really impressive, imaginative and inspirational. Really.
Your guitar performance parts the waters of your song like a bolt of musical lightning. There's so much soul in this composition that it made me wanna "bust a move".
Strong songwriting and performance, "44kfl". And your voice is committed to the lyrics, too.
I just wanna testify!

+1 on what Dave said. What a cool groove on this song. Listened on the head phones. There are some very cool things going on in the background. Would love to see this song done live.. Super vocal Kenny and the guitar was excellent..
Thanks Scott, you are another fine guitar player that I wouldn't even hesitate to work with I thought it sounded live in the studio or something close, I'd love to be able to play it live I appreciate your listen and kind words

Reminds me of a live performance by a 60s group, good old classic rock and roll. The kind of music you danced to, sang to and generally just had fun. Like the raw, unpolished feel of the song.

I'd written this last year after hurricane Harvey. I sent it to Janice and Bud because I thought Janice could do a killer vocal on it(as she does on everything) They had a hurricane song in the works already (Maria Blues) so I set this on the shelf. Later I put more vocals and my guitar part on but the tracks were all pulled over into my DAW onto one track for a quick demo so there's no real mixing on this. I kind of re-discovered it and decided that it should see the light of day, warts and all. Thanks for the listen and comments. https://soundcloud.com/kfl44/stronger_hurricaneStronger Than A Hurricane © 2017 Kenny Leverett It’s been a long time Waiting for the sun to shine Shine again Feels like a new day comin’ Waiting just around the bend Like all my lonely Lonely days are gone So glad we made it thru We can make it thru any storm And it’s a kiss Sweeter than sugarcane We got love baby Stronger than a hurricane Ooh Stronger than a hurricane We were laying low Dug in tight and good With a cold hard wind Tearing thru the neighborhood You get knocked down You come right back up again For a new day comin’ Waiting just around the bend And it’s a kiss Sweeter than sugarcane Sugarcane We got love baby Stronger than a hurricane And it’s a kiss Sweeter than sugarcane Sugarcane We got love baby Stronger than a hurricane Ooh Stronger than a hurricane dedicated to the resilience of the people in Texas from my old stomping grounds after hurricane Harvey Bass 1717 Texas Blues Rock Drums Rock Sync Kick Guitar 1718 Electric Rhythm Texas Blues Rock Guitar 1719 Electric Rhythm Texas Blues Rock Wow, Kenny, that's the kind of song I could listen to all day and all night, So great and catchy. Your vocal's always amazing (even though I'd like to hear what Janice would make out of it...), the guitar parts are so cool and, please: Let it stay that rough and 'warty' - can't imagine how you could make it more attractive for me ... Great stuff, man ! Stefan Stefan, thanks so much for your very kind words, love your blues rockers

Like the others have said, I dig the groove, and I love that 60's feel. Vocals are crisp, present, and "on." Thanks for posting this cool tune. Ezekiel's Storm, thanks so much for the listen and the kind words

Catchy, catchy, catchy!!!! Infectious groove, fun, upbeat lyrics, great vocal!! Even though the mix is unconventional, it really works for this track.....there is a rawness that just feels right.....kind of like an old 60's recording! LOVE IT!!!!! Take care, and merrry Xmas!! Greg. I completely agree. This is your best to date IMHO. I'll take a track like this over any super polished until dull track any day! You should do more like this. thanks Mario, I always appreciate your taking the time to listen and comment

Hey, there, "44kfl"...
The RealTracks you used in "Stronger Than a Hurricane" rock the blues like they copped an attitude! And what an original set of lyrics you wrote, using an actual and devastatingly destructive climatic disturbance to background a story of a love only made stronger by adversity. That's really impressive, imaginative and inspirational. Really.
Your guitar performance parts the waters of your song like a bolt of musical lightning. There's so much soul in this composition that it made me wanna "bust a move".
Strong songwriting and performance, "44kfl". And your voice is committed to the lyrics, too.
I just wanna testify!
LOREN love your comments on everybody songs I appreciate your kind words thanks for the listen

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."
