The song Sally is a favorite of mine because it’s catchy, unique, and has lyrics that many of my friends can relate to. I also like how the coda drops into a “Pretty Woman” kind of vibe with some very cool guitar work. The lyrics describe a girl who lost her father which made her hate herself and act out in negative ways. But then she found her footing and purpose in life along with a supportive boyfriend. After that, she is so hot that anyone who gets close feels her burning fire. As with my last song, Walking Away, I also directed this video in Kyiv between shots of my full-length movie.
Some people have asked whether the line “Sally lost her father” is about the tragedy so many young Ukrainian girls have faced in the war and how such a searing event can throw them into a tailspin. It could be interpreted that way but it’s also about how girls are strong and resilient and can bounce back with a new focus and dedication. My friend, the great filmmaker, Pavlo Khomiuk, shot all the video and produced the video. And isn’t it nice to have a cool, modern song played by a real band with real instruments and an awesome banjo in a pop song!!
Kelsie Kimberlin – Sally (official song release)
Sally did some crying, Sally lost her father
Sally felt like dying, Sally can’t be bothered
Sally throws a tantrum, Sally hates the mirror
Sally’s in the doldrums, Sally don’t come near her
She had it wrong
Sally finally reeled him in, she’s got him glued tight to her lips,
She really likes to top him off, She wants to drain him with her hips,
Hose her down she’s way to hot, she’s way to hot, she’s way too hot.
Sally girl, won’t wait for anything,
Sally girl, she took it out of park
Sally girl, she now has everything,
Sally went for broke and hit it on the mark
Sally keeps a tally, Sally’s eating taffy
Sally’s gonna rally, Sally’s finally happy
Sally’s she’s a jumpin, Sally likes her boyfriend
Sally keeps a humping, Sally’s really on the mend
She got it right
Sally finally reeled him in, she’s got him glued tight to her lips
She really likes to top him off, She wants to drain him with her hips
Sally finally reeled him in, she’s got him glued tight to her lips
She always wants to top him off, She wants to drain him with her hips
Hose her down she’s way too hot, she’s way too hot, she’s way too hot
Sally girl, she took it out of park, Hose her down, she likes to top him off,
Sally girl, she finally reeled him in, Sally girl, she now has everything
Don’t come near her, Sally girl, finally went for broke, don’t come near her.
