Except For Me

(Brian Hendrix)

I wanted to take a unique angle on a song about a guy loving a girl. Instead of heaping a bunch of praise on his girl endlessly, the song is more of a warning for other things (men, death, whatever) to stay the heck out of his way, because his girl is his, and you can't have her! I've never seen another song like this. Not saying it's setting a new trend, just that its premise is original.

It's too late, I'm sorry to say
I beat y'all to the punch
Too bad that you missed your chance
And lost out on her to love 
She's my perfect little angel
I'll hold 'er as she sleeps tonight
And I promise not to let go 
I got a million reasons why 

'Cause 

(Chorus) 
Nobody's got eyes that bright
Nobody's got a smile that wide
Nobody's as lucky as I am
I do believe 
Nobody's got a heart that warm
Nobody'd ever ask for more 
Nobody's gonna love my girl
Except for em 

I'd face an army down, stand my ground
Tell 'em all to do their worst
If death or time tries to take her 
They'll have to get through me first
The girl is everything I hoped for
I'll fight to keep her by my side
Yeah, I'm a little greedy 
And I know the reasons why 

'Cause

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
I said it once, how 'bout a million more times 
Nobody else can have her, she's all mine 

'Cause

(Chorus)

End Of The World

By Brian Hendrix

A lot of people--I mean a lot of people!--have been writing songs about the virus pandemic we're unfortunately still suffering through, as of late May, 2020. Me, I wanted to go a different route. A lot of people act as if this is the end of the world, so I wanted to write a song about a fantasy, post-apocalyptic world where a mother is trying to soothe her child while spreading some wisdom to her child about all the nothingness that's left out there. It's more general, not virus-based. I like it and feel it's rather poetic; turned out nicely.

I Got You

By Brian Hendrix

I joined a songwriter's forum, primarily for country music songwriters, thinking I'd fit right in. I didn't. At all. It's all about pop radio hit country, the stuff they call "bro country." I don't typically write stuff like that. But, okay, I can technically. So, I thought I would. This is a very upbeat, heavy, tempo-driven song that's almost spoken-word in the verses yet explodes in the chorus and is the typical sort of "bro country" that's popular today.

Borders Of Love

By Brian Hendrix

There are so many love songs written, and I've written my fair share, though I wanted to get a little different, a little creative, and really tell a story asking the question: What if "love" were a place? Would you be weary traveling there? Would you want to go? How does it make one feel to cross the borders of "Love" and enter it? I like how this turned out.

How Things Used To Be

By Brian Hendrix

While I still write and certainly listen to sad love songs, I don't always want them sad. This is a song about a guy who's crushed that his girl left him, but the overall tone of the song is just reflective, a guy looking back on the good in his life, and isn't necessarily written to be some emotional tear-jerker. It's far more upbeat than that.

Heller Stern

By Andrea Pflüger

Ein trauriges, aber hoffnungsvolles Lied. Ein Mensch muss gehen und lässt seine Lieben zurück. Doch es gibt einen hellen Stern, der sie als Zeichen der Hoffnung trösten kann.

Forget Me Not

By Jordan Lewis

Not every road in life is meant for two. Some things you have to do on your own, some places you have to get to by yourself. But the important thing is to remember the ones who were there for you and the memories that were created along the way.
