Today

(Brian Hendrix)

On today, of all days -- I know a lot of people ask that. I heard someone say it somewhere the other night, and it just pestered me until I sat back in my recliner and wrote a song about it. The verses bleed directly into the chorus, which is what I think makes it pretty strong and catchy. The tempo changes a bit throughout as far as cadence goes. Though I try to construct in such a way that the intent of the song comes through text. I hope it does come through. I really like this one. Been singing it all morning.

She walked out like a sunrise
Ablaze and golden 
Said, yeah, I know
That this girl needs to be mine
I felt emboldened
Pulled toward her glow 

And everything it took 
Was everything I gave
For a blink, made her mine
But couldn't make her stay


(Chorus) 
On today, of all days
She decides to walk away 
Not really sure where I went wrong
Or where we went astray
But it's better to lose her
Than to never have loved
It's what they say
The question on my mind still weighs
Why'd it have to be today 


A few times I relented 
My grip grew weaker
She almost slipped
But I made a commitment
To hold her and keep her
Yeah, that's it 

And all the strength that grew
It grew in her too 
Felt her strong embrace 
But it worked itself loose

(Chorus) 

Maybe after a short while 
A season of mourning
Hope it won't sting
I'll look back on the signs
Try to notice the warnings
And try again

Maybe something I did
And kept doing wrong
Maybe something she felt
Like she didn't belong 

(Chorus)

I See You

By Brian Hendrix

About a girl who's suffering through some pretty bad depression, and there's a guy around her, trying to help, trying to let her know that he sees through all of that bad, stressful stuff and actually sees her as a beautiful, loving person, and he just wants her to take a chance and try to be happy, rather than staying lost in her own pain and emotions. I like how it turned out. Unique rhythm to it that may be hard to glean via reading text. Very alliterative, I think.

Just Pretending

By Brian Hendrix

While I typically write country, this can go that way, or it sounds excellent more in the Bruno Mars sort of vein. It's about a guy who's in love with this friend's girl, so he fantasizes about her leaving him. It flows incredibly well rhythmically; I can't stress that enough. Just sing it sorta fast in a choppy, hard-emphasis-on-syllables fashion and it will come together so you get the gist of where I'm heading with it. I really enjoy it. It's something different for me.

If I Gave You Flowers

By Brian Hendrix

Sometimes breakups happen abruptly and are anything but mutual, and so the person left is resolved to get their lover back. This is a song about that. "If I gave you flowers" was just a line in my head all day. I couldn't go to sleep until I wrote this song. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, especially the chorus. I think the wording throughout is very clever.

If it Helps You Sleep

By Brian Hendrix

I never could sleep well. Even as a kid, I'd just toss and turn. Not sure what it is. So last night I'm struggling to sleep, and wondering if I should click on YouTube for some "tips to help you sleep" type of deal. I thought, well, as long as it helps you sleep. So this song popped into my mind. This isn't a true story for me, though is for a ton of people. It's a genderless song that could apply to men or women. For me, I'd never swallow it up like the guy in this song. I'd call her out quick! The real me is about that reckoning. Songwriter me is more magnanimous.

Empowered

By Karianne Gabaldon

These lyrics are about how beautiful life is and how it should be enjoyed every second, minute, and hour of every day. Life’s too short. People often look into the mirror and hate their reflection. But you don’t know that what you see in the reflection, is nothing but your absolute perfection. Please be good to yourself. You have a beautiful life.

Weiter Reden

By Jones Lyrics

Kann sehr gut für deutschen R&B gemischt mit Rap verwendet werden. Dabei graue Hood-Thematik um mal von den seichten Liebesliedern wegzukommen ;) Für jemanden der sich da reindenken kann, gibt der Text top Potential für einen einschlagenden Track!

Sandkastenliebe

By Nadine Schulze

Der Titel verrät es bereits - es geht um den ersten Schwarm aus frühester Kindheit. Der Mensch, mit dem man im Kindergarten, in der Schule oder an den Nachmittagen so viel Zeit verbrachte. Der erste Mensch, bei dem das Herz schneller schlug. Vom Schicksal plötzlich getrennt und nie wieder gesehen - da bleiben nur die Gedanken daran.
