Not only are our artists amazing performers, but they are also exceptional songwriters. I wanted to highlight a few lyrics of theirs that make us smile, cry, and feel all the feels.
“So while you sit by the fireplace reading poetry
I will love every word that you say to me”
Alex Blue - “Mary”
“I knew it in the month of you
In the middle of your living room”
Christina Cone, Andrew Doherty (Frances Cone) - “’93 or ’94”
“The morning is made for the touch of your skin
The morning is made for ‘I love you’ again”
Jill Andrews, Peter Groenwald (Hush Kids) - “Morning Is Made”
“You’re like swimming in the river in the darkness
Never have to question where my heart is”
Jill Andrews, Trent Dabbs (Jill Andrews) - “River Swimming”
“We are raindrops in a river
One day we’ll all be memories
To be lost is to be looking”
Peter Groenwald, Fiona Bevan, K.S. Rhoads (Peter Groenwald) - “We Carry On”
“So what are you doing?
If it's no bother
Could I come over?
Hide under your covers
I swear I won't ask much
I've learned how to beg, steal, and borrow your love”
Ruthie Collins, Rick Brantley (Ruthie Collins) - “Beg Steal Borrow”
“Well, I been reelin’, left with my demons
But I still got feel
in’ in my arms and legs
And I’ve been thinking I’ll ride the blinds now
Maybe find a new town
One where I can see again”
Zachary Gibson Smith (Smooth Hound Smith) - “Waiting for a Spark”
“I keep in tax on all of the innocence I′ve lost
And all the mistakes that got me here
I've always felt a night like this was sure to come
Rain would finally let on”
Street Corner Symphony - “Myriad of Stars”
