Brian Hendrix

Brian Hendrix still writes the old songs that Townes Van Zandt inspired in him. Catchy enough for the modern country audience, but meaningful and poignant as the lyrics that shaped an entire genre.

A song about being middle aged, but more than that it's about being just caught in a place where you're old enough for some things, but too young for others, and life is just still confusing.
It's hard to compliment someone sometimes or to tell someone how you really care. You can think of the words but often can't say them. This is just a song about that.
A song about breaking up with someone but they still live close to you, and so you run into them and thus you cannot just forget about them, because they're always there to remind you.
A love song, plain and simple. Unisex.
Someone with whom I was speaking told me that I can come across a little rough, "like a cowboy," and I had to write that song. I am super excited about how this turned out. It's a really good song. A few notes to anyone who might buy this. It's not going to work in your head unless you get the cadence. "Since I wound up alone" would be two slow syllables: "A-lone." "I don't like this seclusion, baby" - would be a long, drawn out "seclu...sion" "Keeps me whistling time" - the "whistling" is broken down into three slower syllables: whis-ell-en.
