It’s 4am… and I need fuel ☕️… the straight black octane kind…
I don’t drink coffee because I like the taste… I know many do… my girlfriend is like this…

I do it for the caffeine baby… to wake my butt up… put the pep in ma step.
and this particular morning… I think I’ll enjoy my fuel ☕️… with my Fuel ⛽️…

I Should Have Told You 🎶 Angels Take a Soul
So… it’s 3am… here at my spot on earth… and I’ve been listening to Fuel for the past hour… figuring out which songs I want to use…
I decided on the album “Angels & Devils” from 2oO7… it’s the first album featuring lead singer Toryn Green… instead of Brett Scallions… and honestly… it’s a great one… loaded with badass songs…
I chose two for you…
🎶 “I Should Have Told You”
🎶 “Angels Take a Soul”
Former Godsmack drummer Tommy Stewart was announced as the band’s new drummer… but was unable to perform on the album due to other commitments… so Josh Freese and Tommy Lee performed drums in his place.
Also it’s cool how Toryn joined the band… there’s a bonus video about it below… check it out…
Also I have a famous friend who’s friends with Tommy Lee… well… he used to be my friend… we don’t talk anymore… story for another time…
Hope yall enjoy… I’m going to bed…

and Waylon Jennings…
the second—
features Don Helms…
legendary steel guitarist

The Drifting Cowboys…

…
Leave Them Boys Alone 🎶
Strong Stuff… 1983
Ballad of Hank Williams 🎶
The Pressure Is On… 1981
…
I actually could write my own
true eyewitness account song
just like these about Hank… 😳…
the first verse might go something like this…
…
“Hank Jr was the first show I ever seen…
my neighbor took me to see him n’ Atlanta…
he got drunk n’ mean…
but it was ok…
he was alright…
still tried to half-ass
play guitar n’ sing that night…
guess we should have left him alone…
n’ let him sing his song…” 🤷♂️ 🎶

Tuesdays are for Tunes This is a good one today, Gang. This band was totally not on my radar when they came out in the early 90s. They are part of that folksy, jangle and southern rock sound that exploded onto the scene in my early 20s. Think Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms, Matchbox Twenty, a […]

appreciate you as always—
this series is a cool thing you’re building.

Weatherman 🎶 A Country Boy Can Survive
…
So two great songs for yall today… one of them… you’ve probably been wondering when I was going to bring it… consider it brought…
One is a deep cut… the other one most everyone knows lol…
…
🎶 Weatherman — The Pressure Is On (1981)
🎶 A Country Boy Can Survive — The Pressure Is On (1981)
…
I love to go deep… while I like songs like… A Country Boy Can Survive… I’m more of a Weatherman… maybe because I’ve had too many storms and tornadoes… but I’m thankful for storms… that’s how you get a strong back and legs… from standing through them.
Thank you for listening…
hope your weekend forecast is bright.
…
I also added a short video of Hank talking about his love for hunting… fishing… and the outdoors… it’s pretty cool… check it out.

Innocent 🎵 Daniel (Elton John cover)
…
So today is Fuel again…
—but I’m not really here to talk about them.
We’ll let the music handle that.
I want to talk about Elton John.
…
When I was a kid…
I wore Superman underwear—
’cause he was my hero… 🦸♂️
Then I got older—
and found out Superman wears Chuck Norris underwear 😄
But here’s one most people don’t know…
Many of your favorite artists—
across every genre—
they’re secretly wearing Elton John underwear.
…
I’ve been a fan of Elton since I first picked up a guitar as a teenager…
and over time—I started noticing something…
the greats…
they all love him too.
…
I saw an interview with Axl Rose once—
they asked what he listens to…
no pause— he says “Elton John.”
Then one night… I was watching one of the late night shows…
I believe it was Letterman…
Dave Grohl walks out solo with an acoustic guitar…
starts playing “Tiny Dancer”…
He gets the audience to sing along…
one of those moments you don’t forget.
And later… I found out Dave Grohl loves him some Elton.
…
So I started paying attention…
and it’s everywhere. Across all genres… many have Elton in common.
His music is loved… admired… and listened to by his peers…
Fuel’s no different.
Brett and Carl… they feel the same.
…
Elton… bruh… you’re the man! 🙌…
…
So today—
I’ve got two for you.
…
🎵 Innocent
Something Like Human — 2oO0
🎵 Daniel (Elton John cover)
Something Like Human — 2oO0
…
I love this cover of Daniel… it’s great…
and it holds a deep place for me… I sang it on my guitar earlier tonight
But back in 2o12… I was hanging out with my friend Nathan…
We were roommates… he was younger than me… like my little brother…
so anyway… this song started playing…
Nathan told me how much it meant to him…
said it reminded him of his older brother, Daniel…
who had passed a few years earlier from a drug overdose…
Well… in 2o14… I lost Nathan…
also to drugs…
I knew his brother too…
So now… when I hear this song…
I don’t just hear it—
…
I remember them both…
…
Also “Innocent” is one of my all-time favorite songs…
I’m not sure what it is about it… but it just gets better and better every time for me…
and I love when the drums kick in around the 1-minute mark…
Also I’ve included a bonus interview with Carl & Brett…
it’s really cool… I think…
Thanks for the love—
hope you 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! 💯

Hemorrhage (In My Hands) 🎵 Leave the Memories Alone
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…
🎵 Hemorrhage (In My Hands)
🎵 Leave the Memories Alone
Hope you enjoy…
Also… I’m easing you into them… right now you’re getting milk from the baby’s bottle…
later on… you can graduate to the red meat 🍖😋…
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…

Fully Alive 🎶 All Around Me
Happy blessed Sunday yall…
I’m sticking with Flyleaf a little longer.
These next two — “Fully Alive” 🎶 “All Around Me” 🎶 — (acoustic versions)
are both from their debut self-titled album
Flyleaf (2005)…
and man… that record was something special.
Made fans out of a whole lot of people… me included.
Somewhere along the way I drifted from Lacey Sturm for a bit…
but about a year ago, I found my way back —
right around the time I started my YouTube channel “bryanforchrist.”
All I do over there is make Christian music shorts —
so if you’re ever bored one day… come check me out.
I’ve got a few Flyleaf ones up there too 🎶
And quick tip — on all my shorts, you can get to the full song:
tap the little thumbnail in the bottom right…
then when it redirects, go up top left and tap the larger thumbnail —
that’ll play the whole track.
It can look a little tricky at first… but once you see it, you got it.
Now as much as I love Flyleaf…
I’ve never actually performed any of their songs myself 🎤
That’s about to change.
I think this week… I’m gonna learn “Circle” 🎶
(from their second album Memento Mori — 2009)…
it’s probably my favorite from them… hard to choose though
So again… thank y’all for listening… for reading…
I appreciate you — and I’m always thinking of you 🙏
Have a blessed day…
