Brian Hendrix

A song about a man whose woman leaves him, but that's it. No resentment, no anger, no bad blood, just a girl who moves on. So that leads him to believe that she must have never loved him, since she doesn't actually hate him, which is the typical thing that happens when people break up, at least for a while.

A song about a man who compares the love he feels with his woman to how heaven must be like. It's a shorter song, which they say is ideal for radio. What's important to me is that I believe it's well written and really says a lot without having to say too much at all. That's not easy to accomplish for any writer.

I really don't want to post this. One of the best songs I've ever written, deep and meaningful to me. Though at the same time, I'd love someone to sing this and make it a good song. It's just about picturing yourself as the clouds in the sky, having to see all the pain and anger that goes on in the world. Wouldn't it make you burst into tears? That might be why someone with metaphysical thinking believes that it rains. After the first line of the chorus, pause for a measure. It'll make sense.

The painful irony that you'll find at many bars featuring local customers is that there's nothing really happy about "Happy hour" going on there. I was picturing this song being a bit ironic and sarcastic, a faster, upbeat chorus that really comes in making you feel like it's happy hour, but then making it clear that the people there drinking aren't happy about it at all.

In mountain communities in the American south, there's a tradition of getting Baptized in rivers and streams. As a kid, this can be sort of confusing. This is a song about a grown man remembering the time he saw this activity as a child and asked his mother a bunch of questions about it.
