Shadow of Myself

(Brian Hendrix)

This song is about someone who's in love with someone else who's already in a relationship. So despite all the times he's daydreamed about being with her, they're still only daydreams. The idea of dancing with his own shadow isn't just literal; it's also metaphorical in the sense that these feelings make him feel like a shadow of his former self.

These feelings, I find Sometimes leave me a mess And knowing you're not mine Don't make me want you any less I just crawl deep down inside my head and miss you In memories I create where I once kissed you (Chorus) But I'm dancing with a shadow of myself Pretending that I'm with somebody else When the light hits just right And the moon's full and high It almost looks like your gorgeous silhouette While I'm dancing with a shadow of myself I feel warmth from your hand Though we've never even touched I smell your sweetness, baby And I breathe in all the love And it takes me to a place where I feel at peace Where we run ahead of time, forever happy (Chorus)

Maybe Not

By Brian Hendrix

This is a song about Homer Joy - a criminally underrated songwriter in the country-music genre, who wrote the hit song "Streets of Bakersfield," and a whole lot of other songs. Though it's also generally about a man who led a troubled life and tried hard to walk a straight and narrow path. Like so many of us, sometimes he stayed on it, sometimes he veered off.

She'll Never Be Mine

By Brian Hendrix

A lovelorn song about a guy who's crazy about a girl, but she's already with somebody, and he knows that she'll never be his. That doesn't make him want her any less, but he's nevertheless aware of the fact that reality is what it is. To him, it's beyond just wanting her; he needs her.

I Still Miss...

By Brian Hendrix

The idea behind this song is that it's supposed to read as if a man is talking about a woman who left him. In reality, though, he's talking about his horse he has a kid who ran away and he never found again. It's revealed in the chorus that he's speaking about a horse, and verse 2 really hones in on the idea that it's his horse who ran off.

Ob das so bleibt?

By Kevin Bolek

In einer aussichtslosen Perspektive auf der Straße fühlt sich die Ich-Person perspektivlos. Es sieht ein kleines bisschen Hoffnung doch ist sich unsicher ob diese bestehen bleibt.
