When the Lights Are Off

(Brian Hendrix)

Another song I consider one of my babies, definitely in my top 20 list. I reckon I oughta start posting the goods here. This one's just about loving. Simple enough. Two people right for each other, that burning passion.

Other lovers they have to work on it
But for us it just comes naturally
Just like we were made for each other
Our bodies and our souls in sync
And we waste the day, 'til we fade away
Until we see the sun start to drop
And then it's time to play, babe, we know this game
It's how we do it when the lights are off

(Chorus) 
When the lights are off
And the touching's soft
And the temperature rises
And we both get lost
We lay here in the dark
Moving nice and slow
And melt into each other
Where we meet the dawn
There ain't nothin' to keep us apart
When the lights are off

When you're standing there in the morning
Like the sun's coming out of your eyes
My body gives me a warning
Tells me to save my strength for the night
But it's so damn hard to keep my hands off
And just you try to tell my lovin' to stop
My passion won't subside and, baby, you can't hide
I'm gonna find you when the lights are off

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And it ain't nothing we should be ashamed of
It's nothing we should blush about
To know what I see when you're talking to me
And get turned on by the curves of your mouth

(Chorus)

Second Fiddle

By Brian Hendrix

Not a big story behind this one. One of those songs that you wake up at 4a.m. to write because it's stuck in your head. I always imagined Chris Stapleton's voice carrying this one. Pretty self-explanatory as to what the song means.

When I'm Drinking

By Brian Hendrix

This is a song I wrote after meeting Kaya Jones, formerly of the Pussycat Dolls, when she told me she wanted to break into the country music genre. After writing and sending this to her, she instead decided to opt to stick with her pop career, though she did claim she liked the song. It's written from the perspective of a woman who realizes that the only time she regrets breaking up with her lover is when she's drinking and lonely. When she's sober, she's fine - a problem a lot of us have.

The Sea

By Brian Hendrix

I'm near 40 years old and wrote songs when I was a kid up into my early 20s. Then I never again picked up a pen until my mid 30s. I went through some stuff that blocked my access to that big pencil in the sky. Listening to Townes Van Zandt woke my creativity back up and gave me a line to sky pencil. He's the best songwriter that ever walked this earth, in my opinion. This song is my tribute to him, though is much more a metaphor of an individual trying to find happiness in life, struggling through the storms and waves to reach a destination that ironically ends up being like everyone else's final destination: Death. This song is one of my babies. I cringe at the thought of it being anyone else's, but a writer needs to put their stuff out there, personal or not. Hope y'all enjoy. Think "Buckskin Stallion Blues" when reading these lyrics. Also: The "chorus" of this song is just after the second bar in each verse. The tempo's meant to pick up with an in-verse chorus. I think anyone who reads it will understand the gist. Thanks.

The Whiskey Loves Me

By Brian Hendrix

Musicians, songwriters especially, often struggle in relationships. We're generally very introverted and in our heads. We know what to say to our significant other though often cannot. We're often trapped in that zone with our art, and it drives a wedge in a relationship, especially with writers who drink in that time-honored tradition of Hemingway. Often what we find is that the whiskey loves us, for better or worse. That's where this came from. To the women who can't love us, the whiskey does.

Al weer up d' See

Der erste plattdeutsche Songtext hier muss natürlich ein Seemannslied, ein Shanty, sein. Der Text schildert das Leben an Bord eines Segelschiffes.

This song is about a marriage in which the wife is abusive. The husband had finally had enough and packed up the kids and got out of the toxic situation. Then the wife begs for them back. What happens next?... you’ll have to find that out yourself.

Dragged down

By Ines Horvat

At some point, all people had dark thoughts, some just have it darker. Life isn't good to all.

Welt in Flammen

By Nadine Schulze

In diesem Text geht es um eine Person, die hintergangen, belogen, betrogen und verletzt wurde. Man vertraute dem Partner blind und glaubte an eine gemeinsame Zukunft. Doch von heute auf morgen steht alles in Flammen und nichts ist mehr, wie es war. Man bleibt gedemütigt, enttäuscht und verletzt zurück und kann nicht verstehen, wie man sich dermaßen in Menschen täuschen kann
