Under the Magnolia

(Brian Hendrix)

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

Under the magnolia, in the middle of the summer I was holding your hand, when I told ya I loved ya And the blossoms smelled so sweet, just like your hair Climbing up the branches, gonna pick ya some petals I can just float up there, and I doubt that I’d settle With your love, I get so high, when you’re right here Baby, our magnolia stays in bloom throughout the year (Chorus) "That’s our tree," she said, "for you and me" It’ll grow on strong just like our love Bloom for all the world to see They'll see... Up in the magnolia, there’s a family of robins Looking down on our love and chirping proudly about us And the music sounds so sweet to lovers’ ears Leaning on you, girl, you know there’s never a problem If there was, and I had to, then believe I would solve it Baby, I would shoulder your burdens and all your fears Like the magnolia, we grow strong and stay right here (Chorus) Seeing the magnolia nowadays, it reminds us How the love of our past is not that far behind us We got miles of roads to go, the coming rings All the chickadees, finches, cardinals and sparrows That have lived in the branches are gone but their memories Linger on like those initials carved in the tree Baby, 'til the sky falls down, there's proof of you and me (Chorus)

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.

Love on Kate

By Brian Hendrix


A song for Kate. Though it doesn't have to be specific to the Kates of the world. Many men have the problem of being inside their head too much, not realizing that they need to put more effort into loving their women. Men like us sometimes need to remind ourselves that our women need some TLC.

Bittersweet Maria

By Brian Hendrix


No big story behind this one. I'm not even sure I know any Marias. Yet from Townes Van Zandt and David Allan Coe to rock and roll bands like Counting Crows, everyone has their obligatory "Maria" song, so now I do too.

All Right with Me

By Brian Hendrix


Was washing dishes today (2/23) and there was just a melody in my head. It kept saying "All right... all night," like it was a song I've heard before. Well, it wasn't, so I wrote it while it was still fresh. It's basically about a guy who's telling a girl he can love her better than she's being loved. It's very catchy. I think reading it really conveys the rhythm too, which is rare.

In Your Light

This song is inspired by how the girl of your life is your guiding light. When you doubt in yourself, she's always there to reassure you. Her love is the best thing that ever happened to you.

Desire

I was deeply shocked to see screeming children after a bomb attack in Syria. In these moments I can't believe in justice of any god nor reason in humanity.

The Directors Couch

These lyrics were inspired by the brave Hollywood actresses who finally had enough and stood up to a Movie Director and his abuse of power over them.
