A Real Good Place to Start

(Brian Hendrix)

Just listening to a playlist of old country music one day, and yet another song comes on with the theme "I'm sorry I cheated. It won't happen again. I love you!" It just drove me crazy. Where are the songs asking people not to cheat? So, I figured I'd write one. This is about not making that mistake and respecting the one you're with. Is that not a real good place to start?

I hear about the longing and leaving Loving and losing He's very sorry, and her heart is bruised, well The same old story, just different hearts that break And now they're all cryin' and pleadin' On their knees for forgiveness Never do it again, as God as their witness A lesson to all to learn from their great mistakes (Chorus) If you don't wanna lose 'em, don't run around Lord, it ain't very hard Love on the one you lay down with And stay out of them bars 'Cause they're gonna leave, and you're gonna drink Write sad songs about your broken heart So if you wanna keep 'em, then don't cheat That's a real good place to start When they say, "It meant nothing to me, babe Only a one-time fling" Then they suddenly care about that wedding ring Like a string you tie, it's there for you to remember Stop and think, hey, do you wanna hurt them Imagine if it were you And you stood there breaking as you heard the news A heart that trusts your love is a heart that's tender (Chorus)

My Last Girlfriend Was An Outlaw

By Brian Hendrix

I've written a lot of western-themed songs, but this is probably the one I had the most fun with. It basically just tells the story, from a man's perspective, about how his girlfriend was an outlaw and robbed banks and shot people. I had a lot of fun with this, a fast-paced country-western song that would probably sound great on radio.

Flowers On Your Grave

By Brian Hendrix

This one just poured out of me like it was a memory. There was no inspiration for it. I didn't have anything in mind. It's like I started writing on auto-pilot and this came out. I was amazed when it was finished. Easily one of the best songs I've ever written. It has a very powerful message and describes love in myriad ways. The love of family, of a lover, and speaks about love as an eternal concept, not just a physical thing. I'm proud that I wrote this.

She Loves Me Back

By Brian Hendrix

More of an upbeat, happy song, although it does have some slightly painful undertones. It's about a guy whose previous relationships have all failed, and that sort of made him jaded to the idea of love, but he's happy that he's finally found a girl who loves him back! I think this song does a pretty good job at telling a story a lot of us have been through.

Here to Hold

By Brian Hendrix

This is about a man who doesn't necessarily fancy himself as a religious person, but when his wife leaves him, he doesn't know what else to do so he goes into a church and prays for her return. The picture I was trying to get across here was a man kneeling in front of lit candles at the altar and begging God to help him. It reminds me of something Johnny Paycheck might have done. I've written hundreds of songs, but I think verse 2 of this one might be among the best I've written. It's also meant to be really sang; it's not a soft, melodic-toned song at all.

My mental state has caused a lot of harm; to me, to others, and to God.

The Fata Morgana

By Georg Wagner (GeWa)

I think, there´s a river, a sea of a lake. It´s a Fata Morgana, only a fake. What´s wrong and what´s right? What´s real, what´s illusion? I don´t know. What remains, that is confusion.
