Falls On Me 🎵 Sunburn
Hey yall… thanks for joining me again…
So before Fuel was even Fuel…
they moved through a couple early names like…
“ReelTooReal”…
and “Small the Joy”…
before everything finally settled into place.
…
And right at the center of it all—
was Carl Bell.
Lead guitarist…
but more than that—the architect.
The one writing the songs…
lyrics… music… structure…
building the sound from the ground up…
and even producing along the way.
…
Because Fuel…
was never just a band…
it was Carl Bell’s vision—
brought to life through the voice of Brett Scallions.
…
Today—I’ve got two good ones for you 🎧🔥
🎵 Falls On Me — Natural Selection (2003)
🎵 Sunburn — Sunburn (1998)
…
I’ll be here a while with these guys…
hope yall enjoy 🔥

Only Grace 🎶 Next Thing You Know
Happy Resurrection Day! ✝️
So today I’m starting a new one on Matthew West… I’m a huge fan—especially his earlier stuff. So many songs just put together right… lyrically and musically. His first 3–4 albums are that good.
I saw him live back around 2o08 or ’o9—not exactly sure. It was a wild setup… out in the middle of nowhere… big open field on what felt like someone’s farm in Brooksville, Florida. But man—it was a sweet performance. He’s great live. There were other artists too… might’ve been a 3-day thing—I only went one day… memory’s a little foggy there 😁
Also Matthew is supposedly a super nice dude from what I hear… really loves people and his fans…
Anyway—these two songs are from his second album History (2o05)… super good. Check it out sometime…
🎵 Only Grace — History (2o05)
🎵 Next Thing You Know — History (2o05)
🎥 Also—check this out… i included a great bonus video of Matthew surprising people at Waffle House with a little live performance… awesome moment.
Live Waffle House surprise performance 👇 supercool! 💯

*** DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF ***
The 90’s for me…
were just… were just… hmm…
still lookin’ for the word(s)…
For now…
fire and ice.
The middle of the decade—
Burned hottest…
Froze bone…
I was dealin’ with heartbreak…
tryin’ to fix it with drugs… alcohol…
music.
I was strugglin’
So this memory came back to me today…
I just sat there like—
geeees man… what was I thinkin’?
Apparently… I wasn’t.
Back then… I had a few handguns…
used to go to the firin’ range pretty often…
had a couple of 9mm’s…
and this one…
a small .22 revolver—
pearl handle…
looked almost harmless in the hand.
But I noticed somethin’ about it…
You could load just one round…
and if you looked closely—
you could barely see it sittin’ there in the chamber.
So… as you pulled the trigger…
if you paid attention…
you could track it… tell when it was one pull away.
And yeah…
I’d mess with my buddies sometimes…
I would play Russian Roulette with it.
Even though I knew I was “safe”…
keepin’ an eye on the bullet…
it was still—
an unreal feelin’.
hard to explain it.
I never let anyone else handle the gun loaded…
and I absolutely would not let anyone else participate…
and I never shared my secret.
I can’t believe I did it.
My friends thought I was somethin’ else…
and yeah…
I built quite a reputation off that.
But lookin’ back now…
ugg…
what a thing to do.
…
So grateful God never let go…
…
*** DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF ***

New South 🎵 I’m Tired
Hey y’all…
I’m so ready for the weekend…
Just wanna relax…
chill…
listen to music…
play a little guitar…
Keep it simple—
more feeling…
less words…
Here’s two Hank songs for you 👇
🎵 “New South” — 1977, from The New South
🎵 “I’m Tired” — Out of Left Field 1993
These are a little deeper cuts…
definite Hidden Gems 💎
“I’m Tired” cracks me up 😄
Funny song (at least to me)…
little bit of language—
he keeps saying “son of a beach” in the chorus…
just a heads up lol…
Anyway…
hope y’all enjoy…
and have a great weekend ✌️🎶

More Fuel… just for you…
I’m gonna be here a while… because… they’re incredible… and there’s just too many great songs… honestly… they’re one of my favorites… top 3 easy…
So here’s a cool recent story…
My uncle… he’s one of a kind…
musician… singer… painter… writer…
pilot… great cook… tells the best jokes… haha…
super funny… just a straight up… Rockstar Renaissance dude…
He’s dealing with a rare form of cancer…
and he calls me most every day…
So last time we were talking… music… bands…
he asks me—
“you know that band DIESEL?”
I said… nah… not ringing a bell…
He goes—
“yeah… DIESEL… they sing that song Hemorrhage…”
I said—
“Oooo… you mean FUEL bro…”
He pauses…
“…yeah… FUEL!” 😂
He said they’re awesome…
I told him—
yeah… you’re absolutely right…
and started throwing him a few more songs to check out from them…
So… here’s two of them…

Also… Fuel had two different lead singers… over time… Brett Scallions and Toryn Green… Brett was first… Toryn came later… I’m a Brett fan… but Toryn is cool too… hemorrhage is Brett era… leave the memories alone is Toryn…

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
— the first hour, and then some
So… once my dreams let go
and morning rolls around…
I open my eyes—
and I’m instantly happy.
I’m glad a new day has begun for me.
I thank God…
tell Him I love Him…
just chill for a moment—
embracing His love for me.
Then I usually lay there for maybe ten minutes…
eyes open… just thinking.
Then I reach over—grab my phone…
reply to my girlfriend’s texts…
They’re always there waiting on me.
She’ll send a photo she took…
or a piece of her art…
a scripture she picked out just for me…
along with her words…
So Supergood to wake up to this…
After hygiene stuff—
I head to the kitchen… get my coffee…
make my way to the couch…
Start my morning devotions…
Two different ones I read…
“Streams in the Desert” — by Lettie Cowman
“My Utmost for His Highest” — by Oswald Chambers
Both from the 1920s…
both deep…
in different ways.
One poetic…
one piercing.
I read…
sit with it.
Think about it.
Then I pray…
I talk to God for a while—
real talk.
Then…
I shut my mouth.
I listen.
To what He has to say…
After that—
headphones on…
I open up YouTube Music
Choose something… then just let it go…
A mix of Christian and secular
Then comes one of my favorite parts—
I grab my guitar.
I try and learn one new song a week, sometimes more
Right now I’ve been learning…
“Infra-Red” — by Three Days Grace
Next up… “Fine Again” — by Seether
Most times…
I don’t use tabs…
don’t look up chords…
I just listen…
play what I hear.
Learning the lyrics are the main thing…
the guitar part I make my own…
in my own style…
usually…
I’ll jam for a while…
have some fun with it…
then it’s back for more coffee ☕️
Headphones back on…
Then I check in—
My ministry platforms…
my YouTube…
my blog…
I respond to people…
read what others are sharing…
I’m not a big commenter—
but I show up lol
Then later I think on…
pray on…
whatever I want to write or post…
or if it’s time for one of my weekly series posts—
I’ll do that…
post on my other Christian platforms…
make a YouTube short sometimes.
Then I hit my workout.
Every day—
except Wednesday and Sunday.
After that—
protein shake…
something to eat…
And yeah…
That’s been my mornings lately.
I’ve been on leave from work for about a month now…
So right now—
My job?
Is just having awesome days 😎
Also… at night… I read the Bible and whatever other book I’m reading… right now it’s Hemingway’s memoir “A Moveable Feast”
After I read… I listen to more music… then I spend a good amount of time praying for others… then I sleep…
Lamentations 3:22–23 (ESV)

His mercies never come to an end…
they are new every morning…
great is Your faithfulness.”© 2026 Bryan Loia Hudson (bryanforchrist). All rights reserved.
