I'm proud of this one. I really like how it turned out. It's about a guy whose girl left him, and he has a simple message for her. Don't come back! Though switch a few words out, it also fits well from a girl's perspective about a man.

I woke up this morning with this song in my head and just jotted it down. So it's the newest song I've written. About a guy who was really tore up by his woman leaving him and lies to himself that he's over her, when he's really not. Though it can also work just as well from a female's perspective. Only a simple word needs to be changed in the entire song.

A story about the age-old love at first sight, though told in a very catchy, country-style lyric that explores a man who falls hard for a girl and leaps right into the relationship, despite what his family and friends think. The way the man describes it is that he walked right into a hurricane. This is a very uptempo, loud song, which would really come to life with someone putting their full set of pipes to it. The chorus really, really rises up in inflection, when it gets to "I say 'you never met this girl, don't try to tell me!!!'" There's a strong emphasis on this song being sung well.

This is a song I wrote inspired by my father, who passed away a year ago. I wrote this a few months after he passed. The way I wrapped my head around it finally was reaching the realization that this is simply the "natural order" of life. We love. We laugh. But mostly, we lose. We lose what we have and what we gain, and it's something that unifies us. As divided as we are in this world, we never seem to take the time to realize that we're all going through the same stuff. We're all at the mercy of the natural order. Country song from a male perspective.

There are countless love songs out there. Though this is more about a man who admits that he wants a certain thing from a woman. He doesn't mind all that talking and feeling and emotional stuff; just save it for tomorrow. He has other things on his mind tonight. We can all relate to that feeling. It's a relatively slow-paced song that's quintessential country.
