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.

If the sky weren't blue and its storms weren't gray If you were comin' to go instead of leavin' to stay I could get a solid yes, instead of a maybe And if up was down and if left was right Then I could sleep all day to cure sleepless nights I would drift off to sleep and I'd dream just like a baby Like a baby, baby (Chorus) But not in this life 'Cause no black ain't white And no wrongs make it right At least that's what they tell me And they tell me The day and the night The passing of the time They're things that I can't change Not in this life If a lie was the truth and the truth set me free Then any word you'd speak would break these chains off me And I wouldn't be so suspicious to keep askin' why And if I didn't have the need to play all six strings Three chords and the truth might not include E The melody would be too low to lift me high And high and high (Chorus)

Sing Me to Sleep

By 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

By 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.

Sang Like Elvis

By Brian Hendrix


Far and away, one of the best I ever wrote, and I have no idea where I even came up with the idea. A song jumped into my head during the middle of a power outage in a thunderstorm, and I kept wondering "Where have I heard that song before?" Turns out, I hadn't. It was just playing in my head, so I wrote it. A gift from the thunder, maybe. About a guy telling a story of his uncle who used to be a popular Elvis impersonator for a living. I'm in love with this song. I'm hesitant to list it here. I really like how the first verse drops clues but doesn't flat-out say it, then the chorus is mainly Elvis popular song titles that I tied in together. I happen to think it's clever and catchy, but I'm biased.

Leave the Drinkin' to Me

By Brian Hendrix


About a guy who likes to remind people that they don't need to drink. He likes to remind people that they have good lives and people who love them, unlike the situation he's in, where he feels he has to drink to get by with the fact that he doesn't have anyone in life.

Find Me A Woman

By Howard Aronson


About me, and my inability to have a lasting relationship. How I've been unlucky in finding love. I'm 61, and it's getting harder to meet someone. I still look young, but not sure if I will ever meet the one.

The Rest of Us Blues

Just for the rest of us, who don't have a trust fund, or the right genes or a winning lottery ticket.
