Second Fiddle

(Brian Hendrix)

Not a big story behind this one. One of those songs that you wake up at 4a.m. to write because it's stuck in your head. I always imagined Chris Stapleton's voice carrying this one. Pretty self-explanatory as to what the song means.

Baby, I ain't built for the background And sure 'nough not your cage You won't cast me in a supporting role Because I always take center stage I ain't much of an understudy I'm Romeo, but you can be his buddy I'm the big name on the marquee People come from miles around to see (Chorus) I don't play second fiddle in the band Watch me go, get 'em on their toes And the ladies start to clap their hands I'm fast and loud, tall and proud Every lady watching knows I don't play second fiddle, Lord 'Cause I headline the show When the spotlight turns on And I show up to play The other stars just fade right out 'Cause, baby, I can rock for days I can whirl a wind or I can keep it patient When it ends they rise for my ovation And the ladies start to sing along Moaning out their favorite song (Chorus) When I exit the stage left And the crowd starts cheerin' my name I love what I do when I play for you It's not about the fortune and fame The time of their life, they smile and laugh Asking for pictures and autographs And a call for an encore The audience still wants more (Chorus)

When I'm Drinking

By Brian Hendrix

This is a song I wrote after meeting Kaya Jones, formerly of the Pussycat Dolls, when she told me she wanted to break into the country music genre. After writing and sending this to her, she instead decided to opt to stick with her pop career, though she did claim she liked the song. It's written from the perspective of a woman who realizes that the only time she regrets breaking up with her lover is when she's drinking and lonely. When she's sober, she's fine - a problem a lot of us have.

The Sea

By Brian Hendrix

I'm near 40 years old and wrote songs when I was a kid up into my early 20s. Then I never again picked up a pen until my mid 30s. I went through some stuff that blocked my access to that big pencil in the sky. Listening to Townes Van Zandt woke my creativity back up and gave me a line to sky pencil. He's the best songwriter that ever walked this earth, in my opinion. This song is my tribute to him, though is much more a metaphor of an individual trying to find happiness in life, struggling through the storms and waves to reach a destination that ironically ends up being like everyone else's final destination: Death. This song is one of my babies. I cringe at the thought of it being anyone else's, but a writer needs to put their stuff out there, personal or not. Hope y'all enjoy. Think "Buckskin Stallion Blues" when reading these lyrics. Also: The "chorus" of this song is just after the second bar in each verse. The tempo's meant to pick up with an in-verse chorus. I think anyone who reads it will understand the gist. Thanks.

The Whiskey Loves Me

By Brian Hendrix

Musicians, songwriters especially, often struggle in relationships. We're generally very introverted and in our heads. We know what to say to our significant other though often cannot. We're often trapped in that zone with our art, and it drives a wedge in a relationship, especially with writers who drink in that time-honored tradition of Hemingway. Often what we find is that the whiskey loves us, for better or worse. That's where this came from. To the women who can't love us, the whiskey does.

Just Make It Hurt

By Brian Hendrix

About a woman in a failed relationship who's very cut off from her emotions and just wishes her significant other would break up with her and let her go. She feels trapped and hopefully yet wishes he would "hurt" her, in a sense, at least from his perspective, by just leaving her.

Welt in Flammen

By Nadine Schulze

In diesem Text geht es um eine Person, die hintergangen, belogen, betrogen und verletzt wurde. Man vertraute dem Partner blind und glaubte an eine gemeinsame Zukunft. Doch von heute auf morgen steht alles in Flammen und nichts ist mehr, wie es war. Man bleibt gedemütigt, enttäuscht und verletzt zurück und kann nicht verstehen, wie man sich dermaßen in Menschen täuschen kann
