Brian Hendrix

I got to thinking about seeing Halley's Comet when I was just a kid, and then wondering if I would live long enough to see it come back 'round again. This is just a simple folk song about a comet and how a person wonders about their relationship in the universe relative to the comet's.

Far and away, one of the best I ever wrote, and I have no idea where I even came up with the idea. A song jumped into my head during the middle of a power outage in a thunderstorm, and I kept wondering "Where have I heard that song before?" Turns out, I hadn't. It was just playing in my head, so I wrote it. A gift from the thunder, maybe. About a guy telling a story of his uncle who used to be a popular Elvis impersonator for a living. I'm in love with this song. I'm hesitant to list it here. I really like how the first verse drops clues but doesn't flat-out say it, then the chorus is mainly Elvis popular song titles that I tied in together. I happen to think it's clever and catchy, but I'm biased.

About a guy who likes to remind people that they don't need to drink. He likes to remind people that they have good lives and people who love them, unlike the situation he's in, where he feels he has to drink to get by with the fact that he doesn't have anyone in life.

A story about a little girl who learns religion and then really makes it her mission in life to find out where Heaven is at. She looks for it everywhere, intent on finding it. She promises her father that she's going to find it, and he's always on the hunt for it.

This would be considered more or less a "power ballad" in the country genre, with the 'He's just like me" part really sang and emphasized. Basically a story about men who have regrets after losing their women and how they should have done better and more to keep them.
