Memory Lane

(Brian Hendrix)

Some people have turbulent relationships and maybe shouldn't be together. Even still, when the relationship has gone on for a few miles, some partners like to take that trip down memory lane. This is about a man who actually does love the woman, but doesn't see anything on that trip worth looking at. This one sorta poured out of me in around 5 minutes. The verse structure and cadence are incredibly unique, unlike anything else out there, which makes me like it enough to post it to my catalog.

It wasn't always this bad What she said And what she wants to discuss But some people ain't meant to be together And, baby, that's just us Looking back, there's only sorrow Shoutin' until we're strained Somehow she thinks it'll be okay If we just stroll down memory lane (Chorus) A trip down memory lane It's the same old pain We've always felt before Only heartache and blame Change the lane And take the next detour The next exit left, to the road ahead Drive until you've cleared the rain There's nothing here to look back on Let's stay off of memory lane I don't like where this leads So I plead Baby, let's just move on But maybe we're fated only to be The hook of a sad song Though I do love her, I don't wanna hurt I'd just like to be on my way But I'll let her think she's driving me On a jaunt down memory lane (Chorus) Maybe she could be right 'Bout the time That my heart did beat for her We were in love once, through the rear-view In a previous chapter But I ain't much on diggin' up Old bones, when there's nothing to gain But she'd like to U-turn and start it again With a ride down memory lane (Chorus) (Bridge) The times back then were hard They still are But maybe we'll tough it out She likes to think The sun's on the brink If only we drive around... (Chorus) No, there's nothing here to look back on Let's stay off of memory lane

Come to Life

By Brian Hendrix

My favorite song I've ever written. Perhaps my best. It has won 1st place in two contests, and 2nd place in a third. I have had four separate studios ask me to record it, my hesitation being that they would not allow my input in how they arranged it. I clung to it that tightly. Though after further consideration, I have to let it go. While it's mine, people who've read and heard it claim it's means a lot to them, and that they really enjoy it. It's my child; it really is. But like a bird, it has to fly on its own. My stubbornness in holding on to it isn't doing anyone any good. The song is about looking at a picture of my girlfriend, when she wasn't here, and swearing it was moving and speaking to me. Apparently, many people can feel this one like I can. That means a lot.

Almost Gone

By Brian Hendrix

My girlfriend will not be pleased I posted this here. It's her favorite song of mine that I've written. It's a western-style song, about a charlatan, a con artist, living in the old west before modernity settled in during the early 1900s. This guy runs his scams as a preacher, using saloon girls, to outright robbery, and realizes that the "west" he knows is almost gone. I really enjoy this song. Out of all I've ever written, it's my #2 favorite song. I don't want anyone else to have it, but it's time...

Country Takeover

By Brian Hendrix

I started writing this song when I was 19, in '99, and found it folded up on a piece of paper in an old book when I was doing some cleaning. I only had the chorus, but a note at the bottom of the page said "Give it a whirl," which is part of the lyrics. I decided to finish it up, after all these years. The song is really about how similar we all are, no matter where we come from, and how we all have a life to live, so live it while we still can. It's a chorus-driven song, even though the chorus isn't very long. In my head it sounds like Keith Urban singing it, for what it's worth.

On My Way to Leave You

By Brian Hendrix

This started as a talking blues song, with every forth line saying "On my way to leave you," but it ended up sounding too much like Townes' "Dollar Bill Blues" in cadence. So I reworked it here. It has a bit more of a talking-blues song cadence but certainly doesn't have to. It's about a guy who wants to leave his woman but can't bring himself to do it, so he gets around this by ensuring himself that today's the day... though he keeps finding excuses not to leave.

No one was there during the struggle so how do you know who to let in now that you're successful?

Corina

By Georg Wagner (GeWa)

Jede Ähnlichkeit mit Corona ist beabsichtigt. Corina hat das Dorf genau so überrollt, wie Corona die ganze Welt. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass Isolation bei Corona genau so wirksam ist, wie bei Corina.
