Purple Rose

(Brian Hendrix)

Whatever sort of entity out there that visits me with songwriting inspiration lives in the 1960s, I'm sure of it. This song is about as classic country Americana as you're going to get. Though it's in no way derivative, in my opinion. I think it's a very unique and original take on a topic that's been written about plenty of times.

It's the rarest kind of flower Lord, it don't bloom every spring The thorns are twice as long So it's quick to make you bleed But it's beauty's like no other That you've ever seen before The women say that if he loves you He'll give you that purple rose (Chorus) A purple rose A woman knows What this gift means to a girl Who has been given it before Says a man swears to be faithful And to love her ever-more And he makes this promise With a purple rose As the petals wilt and fall You might think the beauty fades But the kind of love it signals Well, that just don't go away Lovers hold on tight forever Which flies by, I do suppose Though if the grip should ever loosen I'll hunt and pick a purple rose (Chorus) (Bridge) Red might say I love you Yellow and white for different moods But the purple rose I give Says that I'll love on only you (Chorus)

Loved for Real

By Brian Hendrix

As a southern man, a lot of what I looked up to in life growing up were cowboys. I always have possessed sort of a cowboy-like persona about my life, and particularly in my writing. This song is about all those different sorts of men a woman could love, but loving a cowboy is the best choice she's going to make.

Who We Are Today

By Brian Hendrix

This is more of an inspirational song, a message to people that we all have things in our past that we undoubtedly regret, but we are capable of change. So let's stop focusing on who we used to be, and focus more on the who we are today.

If You Leave Me

By Brian Hendrix

For the first part of 2021 here, I've really been stuck in a very classic-country phase in my writing. Not intentional; it's just the way they're coming out. So this is one in a style that you might expect to hear on the radio in the '50s. It's basically just a guy's rhetorical note to his woman, reminding her that she loves him and shouldn't leave him.

It's Not So Bad

By Brian Hendrix

This is definitely more in the vein of a Hank Williams-style country song. It's basically a guy realizing that his broken heart isn't so bad after all. In fact, he might even be better off without that sort of strife in his life.

The Futurist

By Ari Wilde

This song is inspired by the art movement Futurism where artists wanted to do things that had never been done before. It's about how we can change the society we live in with our art.
