I have a habit of writing songs about women's names. Not sure why, but I usually end up really liking them. There's no real story to this one at all. What I like about it is that it can be plug-and-play with any name that fits at the end. Rebecca, Cassandra, Jennifer, whatever. It works.

A song I wrote about a situation where a girl called me hostile, and I said she was cold. The rest kind of just wrote itself. Despite some of the lines seeming a bit on the dark side, it's actually much more of an upbeat love song.

I was watching some poker game on TV and the announcer said "That's like sugar and salt," but I think he meant to say bitter-sweet or sweet and sour, or something in that vein. I'm not sure "sugar and salt" is an actual saying. But it did strike me that it might make a good song, so I went ahead and wrote something with that as the theme.

A song about a guy who lives in Texas but can't travel anywhere without remembering just how broken his life is without his woman. Everything he loved about the state has now changed. This is a very region-specific song that most won't get unless they're familiar with Texas.

A musician falls in love with a girl, and his dream is to travel around and play his music. The girl in this story needs to stay put for her life. Her wants her to go, she wants him to stay. So they end up parting ways. It ends up being something the guy just can't get over in the end. A more poetic take I tried on a classic love song, instead of the same cookie-cutter words and themes.
