Why I Think It Rains

(Brian Hendrix)

I really don't want to post this. One of the best songs I've ever written, deep and meaningful to me. Though at the same time, I'd love someone to sing this and make it a good song. It's just about picturing yourself as the clouds in the sky, having to see all the pain and anger that goes on in the world. Wouldn't it make you burst into tears? That might be why someone with metaphysical thinking believes that it rains. After the first line of the chorus, pause for a measure. It'll make sense.

Let's say you had a good view 
Perched real high up above
Gazed 'cross the plains day after day
But rarely laid your eyes on love
You soaked up all the anger
That every day grows more and more
The angst and fear you see and hear
I bet you'd boil over and pour 

(Chorus) 
The weatherman will tell it to you plain...
He's got lots of names for clouds
And a smart way to explain 
He says the skies fill up with water
I say they're filled with pain 
Nowhere to go but to watch below
And that's why I think it rains 

You wouldn't mean to flood the people
But you just can't make it stop
Sickness and hunger, grow ever longer
Sadness would surge in drops 
And by mistake might cause a desert
Away your focus has been called
Too many voices blur the choices
Sometimes you turn the showers off

(Chorus) 

(Bridge)
Many will say there's an easy answer
For them it all just seems so clear
Maybe I'm just a simple man, but
I can't help but think they're tears

Happy Hour

By Brian Hendrix

The painful irony that you'll find at many bars featuring local customers is that there's nothing really happy about "Happy hour" going on there. I was picturing this song being a bit ironic and sarcastic, a faster, upbeat chorus that really comes in making you feel like it's happy hour, but then making it clear that the people there drinking aren't happy about it at all.

Bless The Water

By Brian Hendrix

In mountain communities in the American south, there's a tradition of getting Baptized in rivers and streams. As a kid, this can be sort of confusing. This is a song about a grown man remembering the time he saw this activity as a child and asked his mother a bunch of questions about it.

If You Take Off That Ring

By Brian Hendrix

Been a really long time since I heard a country song about actually not getting a divorce and trying to save a marriage, so I thought I'd try to put my spin on one. A classic country feel to this, radio-friendly in length, I imagine.

Today

By Brian Hendrix

On today, of all days -- I know a lot of people ask that. I heard someone say it somewhere the other night, and it just pestered me until I sat back in my recliner and wrote a song about it. The verses bleed directly into the chorus, which is what I think makes it pretty strong and catchy. The tempo changes a bit throughout as far as cadence goes. Though I try to construct in such a way that the intent of the song comes through text. I hope it does come through. I really like this one. Been singing it all morning.
