Haven't

(Brian Hendrix)

This one is very much the "teen of the '90s" Kurt Cobain, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley that lives in my head. It's not nihilistic; it just is what it is. No chorus. For me, it's just acoustic between verses. Though the last line of each verse does pick up in inflection and tempo, so maybe that counts.

Haven't wrote a song in 'bout three years
And not one that'd rate in double that
Haven't loved a woman since the last one thieved my soul
And cast it down below and just walked out

Haven't made a drink that I ain't tried
And I try to try most all the time
Haven't slept a quiet night since in the blues they walked
But as far as you're concerned, say I'm just fine

Haven't let the sunshine touch this skin
Moon's bathed me well pale pretty near
Haven't seen a mirror since I forgot my face
But I can't stop the shakes long 'nough to fear

Haven't let one come over the wall
The bricks fortify my strength tenfold
Haven't dropped my weapon since I picked up my rue
A frail, sore arm suggests I'm gettin' old

Haven't heard her voice inside my head
Can't tell if that is bad or good
Haven't seemed to need it; I can fail all by myself
Spend most time thinking that I probably should

Haven't spoke to friends I had those days
Not sure how many might be dead
Haven't cared to care much, 'bout me or anyone
I'd just rather be alone instead

Rode Home Alone

By Brian Hendrix

Cleaning out my Notepad tonight; all the songs I've written as concepts and out of boredom. Some make me cringe; though some are actually quite good, now that I read over them. This one is a little story-time deal. The chorus is the two lines between verses, saying how he rode home alone.

Time Is

By Brian Hendrix

Was just feeling creative one night in Notepad. The chorus would be the one line between verses. I think it's a decently written song. It's quite descriptive.

Lies We Tell Ourselves

By Brian Hendrix

In my Drive folder I have an entire folder titled "Semi," which contains dozens of songs I've half-written over the years. I browsed around through it and finished a couple I added here already. This song just had one line: "Like an old worn book that sits there on the shelf, full of the lies we tell ourselves." I couldn't remember if that was just part of a verse, or the hook and title. So I just wrote around it, a song about some of the lies many of us tell ourselves. Although it sorta just poured onto the page without me paying much attention, that last verse really gets me. "I'll get right to it, when I get a chance. And when the next slow song plays, that's when I'll dance." I guess something was burning in my mind, as that really hits close to home for me - the metaphorical nature of putting something off with a bargain, and then never doing it.

What Gave Her Away

By Brian Hendrix

With all the love songs that have ever been written about the people we love, it's a stretch to imagine that anything's truly original. It might really all just be one giant song, just reworded and reworked every time. Well, if that's the case, here's another version of the "love song" from me, which is pretty catchy. The verse bleeds directly into the chorus, for more of an upbeat track, not a slow ballad. Pronounce "every" as "ev-er-ry" in the chorus and I think you'll be able to pick up what I intended with this one. I think the third verse is the strongest, perhaps of any song I've written for a while now, but it will be X'd out unless someone buys. My suggestion: Pick up a lower license, then come back for the exclusive rights once you see how strong that last verse is.

Reclaimer

By Steven Mailer

This song is about defiance, about finding the strength to stand up for yourself and refusing to bow to anyone. Reclaiming all that fear has robbed you of.
