Brian Hendrix

Brian Hendrix still writes the old songs that Townes Van Zandt inspired in him. Catchy enough for the modern country audience, but meaningful and poignant as the lyrics that shaped an entire genre.

Just a fun, upbeat song about being from the Southern United States. A lot of people in the cities look down on southern life, but we in the south typically want nothing to do with those big, crowded cities.
I imagine we all have regrets. And I imagine that these regrets compile as we age. I imagine myself being a much older man and looking back on all those regrets that stack up. This just got me thinking about a big regret for most people being missing out on love. This is a simple song, though it means a lot for many people, I'd guess. We have to take our shot while we can, or we might miss it. It's about a man never telling a girl how he felt, but it could easily be switched around to be applicable to anyone.
A folk song that's very upbeat in rhythm with a choppy cadence that flies right through the verses, though it still has a profound meaning in terms of how it touches on love and how little time we all have to feel it. This one is great as just an acoustic song, in my opinion. It's how I play it.
This is more of a modern spin on a classic tale of a guy who's heartbroken without the love of his life. Doesn't have to be that gender-specific. Switch it up and it works well for anyone who's ever lost someone they truly loved. Sometimes things strike us a bit on the weird side, because we miss them all the time. The bridge is meant to bleed into the chorus in one-party harmony. I hope that comes through in a lyrics-only format.
For male singer-songwriters, likely in every genre of music, we find that a lot of our songs are about women. It just came to me to write a song about how there are so many songs about women. I think it came out pretty catchy and poignant in places. And it's true: No matter your situation, there's a song about women for you.
