What She Needs for Tonight

(Brian Hendrix)

We still live in a world that has different cultural segments that judge women harshly for meeting their basic human needs. This is a song about a woman (not necessarily from a woman's perspective, but could be) who got lonely and reached out for something to touch that loneliness. The idea behind this song is that women should not feel ashamed of being lonely and seeking human contact. It's something we all need. I just hope the song is good enough to do the idea justice.

She put on her makeup, her best earrings
No straps on her shoulders, symbolized no strings
That slit up the side, showin' off her thigh
And off she went to the bar
The first man she seen, rated 5 outta 10
But let him buy her a drink, and another and then
The way that he smiled, Lord, it's sure been a while
An hour later she's off to his car

(Chorus)
She's gonna get what she needs
What she's needed so long
Boy, it coulda been you, if you woulda stayed home
But you're gone, moved on, right out of her life
Now she'll get what she needs for tonight
You can judge her, if you think it ain't right
She don't care
She's gonna get what she needs for tonight

She don't make this a habit, this isn't her game
Felt good in the moment, now she's feelin' the shame
She knows loose women, and don't agree with 'em
But her loneliness just needed a touch
She had her a man who held all of her heart
But he ran out and left three years ago last March
She was wastin' away, a little more every day
What she did, she didn't do it for love

(Chorus)

We'll Be Like Birds

By Brian Hendrix

Just one of those songs that popped in my head. It came to me while washing dishes, and I just wrote it there at the sink. I like how it turned out. The chorus is really catchy, and I think the verses say a lot more than just the few words on the page would suggest. Like a modern song, is how I envision it.

Everybody Movin' North

By Brian Hendrix

I live in the Appalachia Mountains in the southern United States, and a lot of people find some sort of shame in that and rush to get out. I like the old stories; the views, the culture, the food, the people. I'm just fine with living here. This song is just a bit of a celebration of my home and a bit of the stories I've heard told.

Diane

By Brian Hendrix

When I was young and in high school, I used to walk to school with a group of friends. Old lady Diane lived on the way, and she was definitely an eccentric piece of work. She was really nice, but also very odd and would say the most random things. I guess most people have their own version of "Diane" that they've met in life. This is just a song dedicated to her beautiful weirdness.

Young Love

By Brian Hendrix

This song is about a man who's just out living his life, when he sees his former girlfriend, who was his first love. The story is about how the two get to talking, and how he remembers being so much in love with her and thinking that their breakup would kill him. The moral, of course, being about how young love is more like a rite of passage that can lead to better things.

Mama

By Yelroch Stevens

Mama is song about the love that remains when a family member has passed. If a home is built on love that home can withstand a loss and build on it. Just because we can move on easier than some, doesn't mean we loved any less. Mama is anthem we can all sing.

Wild and free

Wild and free is a song about wanting freedom and finding inner peace. It's written as a love story. She feels trapped in a cage and wants him to run away with her (or vice versa). The song also describes a desire to reconnect with nature.

Thymian ist kein Tee

By Jones Lyrics

Topic(s): Es ist wie es ist und nicht anders, auch wenn die Relaität nicht immer direkt klar ersichtlich ist. Verunsicherung in den Versen & klare Realität im Refrain. Atmosphere: auf angeschnittene Weise politisch & kritisch, aufklärend im Chorus, evtl. heiter im Chorus, Catchiger Chorus, grundsätzlich habe ich auch im Verse eher Heiterkeit im Kopf... kann aber verschieden interpretiert werden. Genre/Style I was thinking of: Indi-Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Indi-Electronic, Alternative Artist(s) I was thinking of: Kraftklub, Von Wegen Lisbeth, Bilderbuch, Kawa Kawa,... Comments: Typische Pop-Struktur. Pre-Chorus statt Bridge. Die Pfeife im Chorus ist eine Anspielung auf René Margrites' Kunstwerk: "Ceci n'est pas ue pipe". Viel Spaß beim Performen!

Still Thinking Of You

By Jenny Yu

The process of moving on from a lost relationship is never linear and it is different for every individual. There will be good days and there will be days where you relapse and it feels like you're back at square one. This song reflects on a personal experience in moving on from heartbreak and the inner battles that my mind underwent to get through this stage of my life.
