When I'm Drinking

(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.

Another drink, and then I think 'Bout the way you held me close on those cold nights Another round, it goes right down Then I realize living backwards ain't my life 'Cause all the times you hurt me They're all still plain as day But every time I drink That pain just goes away (Chorus) 'Cause I only love you when I'm drinkin' So being sober's got me thinkin' That I can do without that whiskey in my mouth And put that bottle down Since I only love you when I'm drinkin' I see that signal light a-blinkin' Says it's time to turn away, forever starts today No more sorrows left to drown I only love you when I'm drinking The morning dawns, I stretch and yawn And get all snuggled up and lie here safe in bed Without the booze, I think of you And realize loving you is fading from my head 'Cause I don't need you, babe I prove this every day If I don't stop to drink Your memory fades away (Chorus) (Bridge) The more I drink, the more I think I still love you And my first step is to realize that's not true (Chorus)

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.

Things You Cannot Have

By Brian Hendrix


Politicians preach that taking our freedoms away as Americans is good for the entire world who get to live here, and so the path to equity for all humanity is for me and you not being allowed to speak, think or act how we choose. I don't agree. Big disagree.

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
