Everyday Love

(Dan Cardwell)

As art and music can often be about extraordinary tales of passion and heartache, I thought I would attempt to write a lyric that celebrated the ordinary and how deep, meaningful, and passionate that can actually be.

I know I like to talk, but love, you shouldn’t listen You know I ain’t got much to say in the ways of wisdom Not got much to promise in what I can bring All I can promise you is I’ll give you the little things You’d think that love, to be real, has to beat hard at your chest But what comes of the beat when your heart needs to rest In the morning I see the sunlight crawl across your skin They say the heartaches stronger, but if it is, then I give in Chorus: I know art that will tell you We just ain’t suffered enough But how can this be ordinary if This is everyday love It’s everyday love Last night you were out throwin’ ya arms around the world But I’ll take the pain that’s caused you, take the hurt you held, Screw it up in a ball and roll it away Take the dark of the night and throw it into day All the words and the notes say the scars will make you tough The lines painted on your body are a route back to love But the days seem to speed as if they are running We don’t got time to rewind over conflicts of nothing Chorus: I know art that will tell you We just ain’t suffered enough But how can this be ordinary if This is everyday love It’s everyday love Middle 8/Break: All the poets write And the singers sing To create passion, you got to feel What the heartache brings But my ache without you Is a cross that hangs heavy Like an artist sees the beauty In the ordinary Chorus: I know art that will tell you We just ain’t suffered enough But how can this be ordinary if This is everyday love It’s everyday love Everyday, Everyday, Everyday It’s everyday love All the way, all the way, all the way To everyday love This is everyday love

Where Once Was Wonder

By Dan Cardwell


For me personally, it's a lullaby to my wife about IVF, but really, it can be a song to anyone about believing in hope at a time in life where the light at the end of the tunnel seems like an impossible destination.

Here in the Hollers

By Brian Hendrix


I wrote this chorus years ago, about growing up in mountain hollers in the Appalachia, a world away from where the vast majority of people grow up. Most people can't even picture what life was like there. I didn't write the verses until all this civil unrest started, and people who live in my neck of the woods started to get blamed for things that have nothing to do with us. So, yeah, this song has a political meaning, but I worded it in a way that it's not very overt or polarizing. It's a true story about Mrs. Johnson losing her land and John finding God and people laughing at him, and the government tearing down all our land and blocking our water, while at the same time taking more away from us saying we owe things to other people for things we never did. "Bear" and "Oak" are the name of holler communities, by the way.

My Grandma

By Neels Brand


I had to write about my absolutely amazing 99 year old granny that still drives a car, paints, cooks, cleans, makes mozaic grout colorful pictures on table tops for example, and does stained glad metal frame works. And she never forgets a things. She is a miracle. I had to write this song.

Like Me

By Izzy Douma


As you watch a person of interest, you are overcome with a longing to be noticed by him/her. “Like Me” narrates the actions of wishful thinking, hope, and the thought of feeling insignificant to the desired person of interest.
