We'll Be Like Birds

(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.

The thing about the place you sit and stay
Is that time doesn't
Think about your life as it slips away
And what you want from it
You feel surrounded
By a life that keeps you grounded
But what if I came by and gave you some wings...

(Chorus)
We'll be like birds, always flying so high
Like fish swimmin' in the ocean
Like the breeze and always blowin' by
Like the trees are always growing
Like wheels when they're rollin'
It's emotion...
Yeah, a feeling we just can't put into words
We'll be like birds

It only takes a moment of your life
To start things changin'
Bad memories that always stuck in place
We'll rearrange 'em
And, babe, you'll feel better
As we fly up over the weather
Lean on me if you're weak, and we'll never land....

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
We'll nest in high places
We'll chirp at all the faces
We'll go any damn where we wanna go...

(Chorus)

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.

We Can't Get Through

By Brian Hendrix

This is a more emotional take on two people who were once in love but now can't seem to reach each other. It's the male in the relationship lamenting about the love lost, and he wants that love back, but it could work from any gender perspective to be sure. I just happen to be a guy, so that's my perspective for writing.

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.

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.
