Needs a You

(Brian Hendrix)

This is written from a female's perspective, a girl who's always wanted that fairy tale prince but ended up jaded and believing it wasn't possible. Then she does find the man of her dreams and speaks about him in a very poetic way, likening him to a hero, suggesting that every woman who's seeking love "needs a you."

The sky was falling and my world was shrinking 
Flood waters swept me up, and I was sinking 
But like a comic book you saved the day, flew through in a cape
And, babe, that got me to thinking

(Chorus) 
Every princess needs a fairy tale
Every dreamer needs a wishing well
Every king needs a throne to sit on
Every writer needs some words 
Every clear sky needs its share of blue 
Every legend needs a few things true
And everybody who's been broken down
And kicked around... needs a you

The love you give me, it sure keeps me grounded
Thankful and hopeful, with my heart a-poundin' 
You keep me close like I'm your Lois Lane, protected and safe
Sought a healed heart and finally found it

(Chorus) 

(Bridge)
In my fable, thought love was a myth
And I'd never be able to land on it
Years of rowin', lost in the sea
You swooped down shining that light on me

(Chorus)

Like A Thief

By Brian Hendrix

This is strictly metaphorical. I do not endorse people stealing anything! That being said, I thought this was a very unique angle to take on a man who really desires a woman and wants to let her know that he's going to win her heart, even if he has to steal it. Very unique and catchy.

Smiling Eyes

By Brian Hendrix

I tried to get a little poetic here about a guy who gets lost in a girl's eyes he thinks are absolutely beautiful. So the language is a little on the purple side, but I think it came together very nicely as a song

Mongoose and the Cobra

By Brian Hendrix

This is a talking-blues song. This is a very specific genre, so I understand if it's not everyone's cup of tea. Me, I love the talking-blues genre and have written quite a few. I really like this one. It's a legitimate story that has a strong moral and everything, while also being a little on the humorous side.

Here in the Hollers

By Brian Hendrix

I wrote this chorus years ago, about growing up in mountain hollers in the Appalachia, a world away from where the vast majority of people grow up. Most people can't even picture what life was like there. I didn't write the verses until all this civil unrest started, and people who live in my neck of the woods started to get blamed for things that have nothing to do with us. So, yeah, this song has a political meaning, but I worded it in a way that it's not very overt or polarizing. It's a true story about Mrs. Johnson losing her land and John finding God and people laughing at him, and the government tearing down all our land and blocking our water, while at the same time taking more away from us saying we owe things to other people for things we never did. "Bear" and "Oak" are the name of holler communities, by the way.

Smash

A trashy, angry lyric that I imagined as a fast paced crunchy number

My Grandma

By Neels Brand

I had to write about my absolutely amazing 99 year old granny that still drives a car, paints, cooks, cleans, makes mozaic grout colorful pictures on table tops for example, and does stained glad metal frame works. And she never forgets a things. She is a miracle. I had to write this song.

Like Me

By Izzy Douma

As you watch a person of interest, you are overcome with a longing to be noticed by him/her. “Like Me” narrates the actions of wishful thinking, hope, and the thought of feeling insignificant to the desired person of interest.
