Hold Me Up

(Brian Hendrix)

A song about an alcoholic man who can't seem to keep himself on the wagon. He keeps drinking, and he keeps coming home wanting help from his woman to hold him up. For me, this song is really emotional and is relevant to a lot of different people who struggle with alcohol and are looking for someone strong to help them through it.

I don’t know what it’s like to win
Well, I failed and I fell again
I’m walking in, feel broken in two
I’m reaching for a crutch
Yeah, I know, I do this too much
But if you don’t mind, I’d like to lean on you

(Chorus)
So won’t you hold me up
‘Til I’m just stable enough
To stand on my own two feet
Cradle me with your love
Babe, I’ve been doin’ rough
Sometimes cannot feel the ground that’s underneath me
So won’t you hold me up

I tried to walk some steps
Fell off with a dozen left
Wasn’t in a state to trot that straight
And I know I’ve needed help
To the point I got no one else
I know you’re strong enough to carry my weight

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
I know you must be tired
But I stay dry in your arms
And though I’ve walked back to the rain
This time might just be the charm

(Chorus)

What You Do To Me

By Brian Hendrix

A song about a guy who can't get enough of his girl. No matter what time of day, whenever he sees her, he's thinking about her very passionately and romantically. It's what she does to him. This is a song on the shorter side, likely coming in at under 3 minutes with any sort of music, which makes it ideal for a quick radio play.

She Don't Love Me Enough

By Brian Hendrix

A song about a man whose woman leaves him, but that's it. No resentment, no anger, no bad blood, just a girl who moves on. So that leads him to believe that she must have never loved him, since she doesn't actually hate him, which is the typical thing that happens when people break up, at least for a while.

I Bet Heaven Is A Lot Like Here

By Brian Hendrix

A song about a man who compares the love he feels with his woman to how heaven must be like. It's a shorter song, which they say is ideal for radio. What's important to me is that I believe it's well written and really says a lot without having to say too much at all. That's not easy to accomplish for any writer.

Why I Think It Rains

By 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.

4:20

By Annabel Chima

This lyric is full of double entendres. It is a crude play on the '4:20' smoking culture with satirical references to sex. The vibes and atmostphere of the lyrics are very adult - themed, masculine and suggestive. You're guaranteed a heated and lit audience. It fits perfectly in mostly rap genres.
