Leavin You Behind


(verse)
I'm putting my foot, in front of the other.
I'm taking a step, then taking another.
Gonna walk out this door,
leave you behind, you and your sorry mess have played me for the last time.
(Chorus)
Cuz baby, I'm leaving you behind. I'm not gonna be your lover, I'm not gonna be your whore anymore.
(verse)
I'm taking a breath, then taking another,
Breathe the fresh air of freedom, and soon I'll discover,
A beautiful life, of freedom and choice,
Where I'll be happy, and not hear your voice.

(2nd Chorus)
cuz baby, I'm leaving you behind.
Cuz baby, I'm not that trashy kind

(Solo)
(Repeat 1st verse)
(Repeat 2nd chorus twice)

Hi Sharla

Thanks for your recent submission "Leavin You Behind"
Wanted to tell you it was nice to hear strong,good sounding demo.
I got into the guitars and rocking feel of the song.

while it makes a good get the people at the bar/club tapping there foot song, I regret that it's not a hit song candidate.
What the problem for me was it's just needed more substance lyrically and the musical layout was just a tad to common,typical in nature.

If you work with a blues based progression of this manner you put a lot of weight on saying something lyrically that really stands out more. Whether it's funny or sexier etc..
Also musically something a bit more unexpected happening in there many have helped. Stronger songs in general.

Again good demo and good live jam song to get the crowd bopping.
But we'll have to pass on this one.

Thanks
Sincerely
