Messy (Commentary) Songtext
von Danielle Bradbery

That′s Danielle Bradbury off her new album, which we are celebrating today
It's the "I Don′t Believe We've Met" album release special
I'm so excited to have Danielle here with me in the studio as we celebrate the release of this album now
We have talked a lot about how you have grown from your first album
And this next song really I feel Spotlights that because it is definitely such a mature song
I′m talking about Messy (hm-mm)
And I understand the writing session for this one was a pretty vulnerable one
And, and sort of a healing experience for you, so talk to me about writing Messy

It was one of those rights where I was definitely going through all the emotions that day
And I′ve said it before but relationships are never just all-time high
You always go through your lows (yeah)
It's always a rollercoaster and, and you can-, and I and I do


You can love them so much but you still go through whatever it needs to... to happen
But that was one of those days where I was just feeling down and I got in the room with friends of mine
It was Josh Kerr and Hannah Ellis and so it was more comfortable to open up a little more
And we, we started writing this song and Hannah actually had this title Messy
I was like, oh that is so true, everything is just a Messy sometimes and
We, we started writing this song and it really hit home
And I mean they had moments were like, oh, yeah I remember feeling this way
And so it was definitely one of those songs where it was deeper than normal

Well and you know the thing that hit me as I was listening to it because I
I′ve kind of had an off-and-on relationship for ten years with the same person
And what I took away from the song was how ending a relationship can be so intense
Because it involves untangling two lives and, and it doesn't just impact the two people in the relationship
Because you′ve got the line in there about the brother and about his mother and it's so true
It′s, it's no longer just me and you
It's like we′ve become so ingrained in one another′s lives that this is gonna affect a lot of people

Yeah
And you become so close with their family and, and he was like a big brother to my little brothers
And, and that can be about anybody and so you do get intertwined so deeply so it isn't just you and him
It′s there's a lot more to think about than just you two
So it′s definitely deep

Yeah
Well, it's called Messy
Yeah, from Danielle Bradbury on Big Machine Radio
