Paradise

(Brian Hendrix)

I must have been a pirate in a past life. A lot of my songs use ships and sailors and the sea as metaphors. This song is about a man who's lost the love of his life and is searching his own life for meaning, yet is tortured by her memory. So he wants to go back to his paradise. It was inspired by that scene in "The Green Mile" where the death row inmate is talking about his "best time," with his young wife in a cabin overlooking the mountainside.

If you could grant any wish you wanted Go any place you left behind Would you care if it was haunted And lo those years still plague the mind If I had a ship out on the ocean And didn't sink to the depths below I'd sail those stars to motion To the only place I wanna go (Chorus) Bring me home to paradise The memories of my youth Her hair was golden as the sun And her lips were sweet as fruit My ideal felicity Under the moon, she'd walk with me Bring me home to paradise Or let me drown alone asea At times it stands clear in the distance Remind myself, it isn't real A mirage, my mind's persistence Then spates my cheeks, remorseful tears That time was everything I lived for Now longs to taunt me through the night To know I only had to give more I'll return, if it costs my life (Chorus) I touch your hand on sun-drenched mornings Pretend your skin's what makes it warm And watch you lovingly, adoring The flush red rising on my palm Washed away clean by a storm cloud When only nothingness is revealed I shriek, fight back and call aloud Wring my hands and plea for deals (Chorus)

Time and Time Again

By Brian Hendrix


Not really sure if there's a big story behind this. One of those things where there's just a melody playing in your head, so I put some words to it. I really love this chorus, though; probably a top-5 chorus of mine. Though not sure how it'll translate through just the written word. Think upbeat with emphasis on alliteration and the verse bleeding directly into the chorus.

Your Name

By Brian Hendrix


Started singing to my girlfriend one night, a cover of Elton John's "Your Song," and she said she didn't like that song. So, okay, I wrote her her own song. She liked this one better, though maybe only because it was for her specifically. Now she can tell everybody...

Country Girls

By Brian Hendrix


I grew up in the hollers of the Appalachia. I'm convinced that there's nothing like a country girl. So I decided I'd write an anthem for those country girls. They deserve it. Plus I think the second verse is very clever - got some double entendre happening for the college football fans out there.

Oh, Molly

By Brian Hendrix


This is one of those ones that only a songwriter will get. Lying in bed, the same music playing in my head over and over, "Have I heard this before?" Nope. Okay. Let me try to add lyrics to it. This is what I came up with. The words are self explanatory. The chorus of the song is the last four lines of each verse.
