If You Take Off That Ring

(Brian Hendrix)

Been a really long time since I heard a country song about actually not getting a divorce and trying to save a marriage, so I thought I'd try to put my spin on one. A classic country feel to this, radio-friendly in length, I imagine.

A bad month of Sundays
With a summer so mild
I might reckon that we've fell down to fall
Where you went from smilin'
To cheeks flushed with tears
As I'm calling to your back as you walk 

(Chorus) 
If you take off that ring
You throw away everything
Not just me, but it's you that you hurt
I can show you, I'm tryin'
Oh, darlin', stop cryin'
'Fore we find out what lonely is worth
If you take off that ring 

Yeah, I did some wrong
I'll pay for my crimes
But don't throw out the key, baby girl 
The "worse" part of vows
We swore to pull through
You're runnin' like the end of the world

(Chorus) 

(Bridge) 
This man has his faults
And will atone for them all
Just leave my promise to you in its place...

(Chorus)

Today

By Brian Hendrix

On today, of all days -- I know a lot of people ask that. I heard someone say it somewhere the other night, and it just pestered me until I sat back in my recliner and wrote a song about it. The verses bleed directly into the chorus, which is what I think makes it pretty strong and catchy. The tempo changes a bit throughout as far as cadence goes. Though I try to construct in such a way that the intent of the song comes through text. I hope it does come through. I really like this one. Been singing it all morning.

I See You

By Brian Hendrix

About a girl who's suffering through some pretty bad depression, and there's a guy around her, trying to help, trying to let her know that he sees through all of that bad, stressful stuff and actually sees her as a beautiful, loving person, and he just wants her to take a chance and try to be happy, rather than staying lost in her own pain and emotions. I like how it turned out. Unique rhythm to it that may be hard to glean via reading text. Very alliterative, I think.

Just Pretending

By Brian Hendrix

While I typically write country, this can go that way, or it sounds excellent more in the Bruno Mars sort of vein. It's about a guy who's in love with this friend's girl, so he fantasizes about her leaving him. It flows incredibly well rhythmically; I can't stress that enough. Just sing it sorta fast in a choppy, hard-emphasis-on-syllables fashion and it will come together so you get the gist of where I'm heading with it. I really enjoy it. It's something different for me.

If I Gave You Flowers

By Brian Hendrix

Sometimes breakups happen abruptly and are anything but mutual, and so the person left is resolved to get their lover back. This is a song about that. "If I gave you flowers" was just a line in my head all day. I couldn't go to sleep until I wrote this song. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, especially the chorus. I think the wording throughout is very clever.

Gospel. The song tells us God's always with us. He guards and guides us, even in hard times. When we need him most, He's there for us.

Schattenzeit

By Nadine Schulze

Die meisten kennen wahrscheinlich eine solche Schattenzeit in ihrem Leben. Momente oder Phasen, in denen alles düster und ausweglos erscheint und man am Boden zerstört ist. Dieser Text soll Mut machen, dass jede Schattenzeit auch wieder vorüber geht. Man darf nur nicht aufgeben, an sich zu glauben. Irgendwann wird (fast) alles wieder gut.
