Writing a song is much like any other art form in that although the artist can claim a thorough understanding of his or her work, the audience sees (or in this case hears) all the rough edges. And although rough edges can often be beautiful, it’s only when they have been reconciled or blended harmoniously with the rest of the piece.
The song Kiss & Tell fails to do that. Rather, it stands as a classic example of a song that has been written from the inside-out, meaning that the songwriter narrowed down a chorus or hook-line and then tried to wrap three more minutes around it.
