We Can't Get Through (Brian Hendrix)

This is a more emotional take on two people who were once in love but now can't seem to reach each other. It's the male in the relationship lamenting about the love lost, and he wants that love back, but it could work from any gender perspective to be sure. I just happen to be a guy, so that's my perspective for writing.

Not in This Life (Brian Hendrix)

We probably all get to thinking from time to time about things that we cannot change, and then we start thinking about how we'd change them anyway. If only the "this" was the "that," we could definitely change things. This song is just a way to touch on that a little bit, speaking about how we can't really change fixed things in this life.

Mama (Yelroch Stevens)

Mama is song about the love that remains when a family member has passed. If a home is built on love that home can withstand a loss and build on it. Just because we can move on easier than some, doesn't mean we loved any less. Mama is anthem we can all sing.

Sing Me to Sleep (Brian Hendrix)

A song told from the perspective of both a man and a woman. A man describing the woman, and the woman's request to be sang to while falling asleep. Pretty simplistic concept but enough room to have fun trying to expand on the imagery within a short window.

Hey, Comet (Brian Hendrix)

I got to thinking about seeing Halley's Comet when I was just a kid, and then wondering if I would live long enough to see it come back 'round again. This is just a simple folk song about a comet and how a person wonders about their relationship in the universe relative to the comet's.
