Days Like These

(Brian Hendrix)

My father recently passed away. In the latter years of his life, he was handicapped and couldn't get out. The last time I remember him out was at his grandson's birthday party, a beautiful summer day. I remember him saying that he was thankful for "Days like these." I picked up a napkin beside the cake, a crayon, and I went and sat in my truck and wrote this song down after being inspired.

The sun shines, the children laugh The smoke rolls off the grill The lemonade tastes sweet today The kids roll on down the hill Grass stains from knee to toe But no one seems to care Ice cream on a squeaky swing Honeysuckle in the air... (Chorus) On days like these I don't look behind me On days like these Y'all know where to find me Out in the sun, loving life Stuck in the moment, please Just leave me to make memories On days like these Fishing poles on a river bank After walking through the wheat Sunburned, I was out all day But I don't mind this heat Little man caught him a perch He was reeling like a whale It's back home to crack a cold one And tell those tall fish tales... (Chorus) The first glow of a lightning bug The weather's cooling down Crack the cooler wide open And play that music loud Grab a guitar, sing a song That I wrote yesterday Hum my way through half the words But it sure is fun to play... (Chorus)

If You Change Your Mind

By Brian Hendrix

Before I met my current girlfriend, my soulmate, I had a crush on this girl solely because she started off with a crush on me. I had resisted her, but she persisted. So I kinda fell for her, if only for being flattered, then she backed off. And all I could say to her was, "Okay. If you change your mind..." That got me thinking about anyone, young or old, man or woman, who likes someone who doesn't like them back, and sometimes we just hope they change their mind. Wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes.

Paradise

By Brian Hendrix

I must have been a pirate in a past life. A lot of my songs use ships and sailors and the sea as metaphors. This song is about a man who's lost the love of his life and is searching his own life for meaning, yet is tortured by her memory. So he wants to go back to his paradise. It was inspired by that scene in "The Green Mile" where the death row inmate is talking about his "best time," with his young wife in a cabin overlooking the mountainside.

Time and Time Again

By Brian Hendrix

Not really sure if there's a big story behind this. One of those things where there's just a melody playing in your head, so I put some words to it. I really love this chorus, though; probably a top-5 chorus of mine. Though not sure how it'll translate through just the written word. Think upbeat with emphasis on alliteration and the verse bleeding directly into the chorus.

Your Name

By Brian Hendrix

Started singing to my girlfriend one night, a cover of Elton John's "Your Song," and she said she didn't like that song. So, okay, I wrote her her own song. She liked this one better, though maybe only because it was for her specifically. Now she can tell everybody...
