Silver Lady

(Brian Hendrix)

I was a teenager and woke up one night, and a lady was standing over me while I slept. It really got to me. I convinced myself it was just a dream, but it stuck with me for so long, always thinking about that "silver lady" I saw. That's how she looked like to me, and this is just a folk-style song I wrote about what I imagine the "silver lady" to be.

Silver lady, she's in my memory 
I seen her first when I was young
Along a shore of a raging river
Standing in the rush and praying toward the sun 

Silver lady, came to my bedside
When Death was knockin' upon the door
She kissed my cheek, sat down beside me
And now he don't come around back here no more

Silver lady, she's dressed for springtime
In a wispy gown you can see right through
Could be a ghost, could be an angel 
Or could be 'bout anyone if she comes to you 

Silver lady, her voice is ancient 
It's her cries that bring the rain 
A solemn spell cast o'er the ages
She lives forever while soaking up the pain

Silver lady, her eyes are hollow
Her lips are rigid, and her skin is stone
She's made for hurtin', she's made for fallin'
She's made for dreamin', and made to be alone

Silver lady, she don't feel sorrow 
For her that sadness just blends with time
For what's a smile, if not for frowning 
The mother of all ether, she's not yours or mine

Southern is How I'll Stay

By Brian Hendrix

Just a fun, upbeat song about being from the Southern United States. A lot of people in the cities look down on southern life, but we in the south typically want nothing to do with those big, crowded cities.

Things I Never Did

By Brian Hendrix

I imagine we all have regrets. And I imagine that these regrets compile as we age. I imagine myself being a much older man and looking back on all those regrets that stack up. This just got me thinking about a big regret for most people being missing out on love. This is a simple song, though it means a lot for many people, I'd guess. We have to take our shot while we can, or we might miss it. It's about a man never telling a girl how he felt, but it could easily be switched around to be applicable to anyone.

This is Love

By Brian Hendrix

A folk song that's very upbeat in rhythm with a choppy cadence that flies right through the verses, though it still has a profound meaning in terms of how it touches on love and how little time we all have to feel it. This one is great as just an acoustic song, in my opinion. It's how I play it.

All the Time

By Brian Hendrix

This is more of a modern spin on a classic tale of a guy who's heartbroken without the love of his life. Doesn't have to be that gender-specific. Switch it up and it works well for anyone who's ever lost someone they truly loved. Sometimes things strike us a bit on the weird side, because we miss them all the time. The bridge is meant to bleed into the chorus in one-party harmony. I hope that comes through in a lyrics-only format.

Afraid

By Karianne Gabaldon

When you lose all control of your life, and you’re so self destructive that you’ve become afraid of yourself. You don’t want to be though. But you can’t control it anymore. Self sabotage is in your cards.

Manchmal und Oft

By David Bukovic

Manchmal und Oft beschreibt das Leben, wie es ist. Egal was um einem herum so passiert, man muss richtig und falsch erkennen und auf dem Weg bleiben. So kommt es auch vor, dass man sich selbst neu kennenlernt. Ausserdem ist da noch jemand der uns hilft.
