Description
This is my first solo project/original composition for quite some time. I was trying to avoid another slow ballad, so I decided to accelerate the pace and added some unconventional elements in this song to make it sound different from other songs I did in the past. It's my take of Justin Timberlake's song "Sexy Back."
This one is heavy on drums and percussion, but it becomes fully orchestral towards the end.

Lyrics
YouWantYourSexyBack/ I Don't Miss The Rain
Music, lyrics, and vocals by Leon
Verse 1
So you came around today
It's been a while since I last saw your face
What made you come this way
Don't think I even remember your name
Verse 2
The road leads to oblivion
Why didn't you just go on
Turning around won't right the wrong
Nor turn this hurt into song
Chorus:
And you took away my smile
and never looked back a while
It's winter and you melt my ice
and turned it into rain;
And I don't have to smile
I don't have to open my arms
It's summer and the clouds are here
but/and I don't miss the rain.
Verse 3
So you came around today
It's been a while since I last saw your face
What made you come this way
Don't think I even remember your name
Verse 4
The road leads to oblivion
Why didn't you just go on
Turning around won't right the wrong
Nor turn this hurt into song
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
The tears have vanished from my eyes
I let the shadows fade at sunrise
Don't bring back the chills of winter's ice
I won't anymore throw love's dice...
(Repeat Chorus)

...take this over Justin Timberlake. The pounding percussion really works well, especially at the beginning when it's just basically the percussion and the vocals. The instrumental build up is nicely done and really sneaks up on you. Really helps heighten the "drama" of the song. Great vocals as always.
