America Strong

(Brian Hendrix)

A song I wrote to rally against the idea of collectivism, in any form, be it on the right or left, as it has wrought much pain and damage and millions upon millions dead. This is a song that speaks about the strength of individualism that stands for America. It's more anthem-themed. When it opens, it's a chant. "Ohh, ohh, ohh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh--oh-oh, ohh, oh-oh, ohh, oh-oh." Then after every line, I imagine a bit of a clap, or a thump on a bass drum, twice. E.g. "We stand up (boom, boom) We don't kneel (boom, boom)." I think people can get the gist when they read it.

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

We stand up 
We don't kneel
We don't care at all 'bout how that makes you feel
We take pride
In those stars and stripes
And we give thanks to the ones who gave their lives
For our freedoms
For our truth
We stand straight and high and give our thanks to you
We stand proud
We stand tall
But most of all we stand America strong

(Chorus)
You can't crush the spirit of a patriot
We'll forgive you but we never will forget
You tried to change our nation, but it won't fall
We're still here, one and all
America strong

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

We show up
We stand united
No matter how often you might try to divide us
We'll fight back
We'll pull through it
All your rules, protected speech, you just can't fool us
We know our rights
We fight to keep 'em
No matter how often you  might try to deceive us
We'll cover ground
For one and all
Together in a force
America strong 

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
So you better think twice
Before you pick a fight
'Cause we don't fight for power
We fight for our lives
So you can keep your broken cities
Have your Golden Gate
America's the heartland
36 flyover states

(Chorus)

It's Fine

By Brian Hendrix

This is definitely a throwback to the days of olden country. The "chorus" in this song is basically a few bars of guitar while speaking "I said it's fine." More than anything, think of this as a talking-blues sort of song. It's guided very much by a rhythmic cadence that evokes something like an old Johnny Cash tune, though the lyrics are all mine.

Sunshine.

By Brian Hendrix

I really liked the way this turned out. It's fun to sing too, with different inflections of "Sunshine" at the start of each sentence. As far as the writing, I think it does well to paint a picture of a world without sunshine, especially when it's revealed what "sunshine" is.

Under the Magnolia

By Brian Hendrix

Got inspired once upon a time to write a song about a magnolia tree. I think it turned out pretty well.

A Lot Like Me

By Brian Hendrix

One of those choruses I've had written for a while. Digging through old song files, looking for inspiration, figured I'd finish it. So I wrote three verses and a bridge for it, kept the chorus as-is and built around it. Basically about two firebrand lovers who are compatible in the best--and worst--ways. I like it. I think it's clever in places, catchy in others, and strong melodically.

Break it All

By Annabel Chima

The lyric is a love letter; a modern-day plead to be someone's romantic lover. It speaks of 'rocking' with someone and being down for them. It uses a play on words to show how much one is invested in the romance; they are willing to break all the rules for this person, hence the title. The vibes and atmosphere of the lyrics are fun, adventurous and deep. It's quite fast paced/ upbeat. You're guaranteed a captivated audience who can relate. It fits perfectly into most genres.
