    FIRST

                                                         
                                                            

    FIRST She moved in down the street, September sophomore year And I suddenly lost interest in my football career We'd lay out in the wheat fields as the silver full moon rose up I can still taste cherry lip gloss, and I will until I'm toes up, Tallkin' bout... Chorus First crush - first kiss - first swing - first miss First time comin' home with beer on your breath With your dad waitin' up on the front porch steps First job - first car - first tears from a broken heart The ones you can't forget for better or worse Nothin' lasts like the first I worked weekends for "The Colonel" 'til I saved enough to buy A beat up two-tone Silverado, It burned oil but it sure could fly We spent so much time in that old truck we shoulda had a mailbox attached, It was dashboard drummin' in the cab up front, and love lessons in the back, I'm talkin' bout.. Chorus That Silverado's up on blocks and football's just a game I watch But when I'm reminiscing memories distant and sweet My mind rewinds to sophomore year, and a girl just down the street.. Chorus First crush - first kiss - first swing - first miss First time with your dad on the front porch steps Kickin' back with a couple of cold long necks First job - first car - first tears from a broken heart The ones you can't forget for better or worse Nothin' lasts like.... The first time getting down on one knee With just a prayer and a little piece of jewelry First time y'saw her dressed in white First baby cryin' keepin' you awake all night Fist that - first this First swing - first miss First crush - first kiss Nothin' lasts like the first

  4. 4. GET YOUR LINE IN THE WATER - Bobby Johnston

    GET YOUR LINE IN THE WATER

                                                         
                                                            

    GET YOUR LINE IN THE WATER Vs1) A young man doesn’t soon forget how his first heartbreak feels I thought I was gonna die before it ever healed And I remember dad’s advice and all he had to say Son, I can guarantee there’s more fish out in the sea Can’t worry ‘bout the one that got away CH) You gotta get your line in the water This ol world is full of girls from uptown bachelorette’s to farmers daughters You might have to throw some back………...before you finally land that catch Be patient son and you’ll be glad you caught her So don’t be hesitating, there’s a keeper out there waiting But, you gotta get your line in the water Vs2) Now here I am with my own son, talking on the phone He called to tell me “Dad, she’s gone and left me all alone” So, I’ll give him the same advice his granddad gave me When your left with an empty hook, it’s time to take another look (or don’t take too long to take a look) At all the other fish out in the sea

    GIVE UP THE GHOST.

                                                         
                                                            

    Give Up The Ghost (v1) My past has windows all boarded up A closet that I keep nailed shut Where skeletons rattle their endless chains Made from mistakes that I can’t change Gotta give, give up the ghost Give up the ghost to live (v2) Every now and then I see a light Sneakin’ through the lies of my old life Comin’ from some happy up ahead But can’t get there carryin’ the dead Gotta give, give up the ghost Gotta give, give up the ghost Give up the ghost to live (Bridge) There’s a better man inside of me Dyin’ to be livin’ free Where hope runs wild and dreams can breathe (v3) Gonna walk across that dusty floor Take a crowbar to the Devil’s door And let those old bones out at last Cast out the demons of my past Gotta give, give up the ghost Gotta give, give up the ghost Give up the ghost to live Give up the ghost to live My past has windows all boarded up A closet that I keep nailed shut

    Hear My Hallelujah When I’m scared to walk the road that you called me down When the odds stack up against me till I’ve lost count I’ll remember how you never for a second let me down Hear my hallelujah When I’m prone to hide the broken parts of me When I’m sized up by a standard that I just don’t meet I’ll remember how you told me I got everything I need Hear my hallelujah Everything I see Everything I feel It changes like the wind Every time you speak Every time you move You are who you’ve always been When I hit a mountain I can’t move it Gonna shout your praise till I break through it Hear my hallelujah Hear my hallelujah When I’m haunted by regrets that I just can’t shake When I feel my consequences like a ten ton weight I remember that you’re giving new mercy every day Hear my hallelujah Everything I see Everything I feel It changes like the wind Every time you speak Every time you move You are who you’ve always been When I hit a mountain I can’t move it Gonna shout your praise till I break through it Hear my hallelujah Hear my hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Everything I see Everything I feel It changes like the wind Every time you speak Every time you move You are who you are, who you are, who you are Everything I see Everything I feel It changes like the wind Every time you speak Every time you move You are who you’ve always been When I hit a mountain I can’t move it Gonna shout your praise till I break through it Hear my hallelujah Hear my hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

    I Like What You See Rebecca Lynn Howard, Avrim Topel, Dale Giffen I go straight to the lines there on my face I’m hatin’ the mirror, I’m hatin’ the mirror today All the flaws I wish I could erase  It couldn’t be clearer, I’m hatin’ the mirror today, but Chorus: If I could, if I could look through your eyes I know I would be so surprised  I’d be beautiful to me And I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t need to change  Nothing to rearrange It would all fit perfectly  Yeah baby, I like what you see When I think I’m not enough, you disagree  When I feel broken, you love every single piece And you say that I am everything you need  I want to believe you, but baby that’s hard to believe, but   Chorus Repeat: Bridge: Love’s not blind, it just sees the truth  You’re just loving me the way that I love you  Chorus: If I could, if I could look through your eyes I know I would be so surprised  I’d be beautiful to me And I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t need to change  Nothing to rearrange It would all fit perfectly  Just lovin’ me for me  (Yeah) baby, I like what you see I like what you see  END Avrim Topel ave@avrimtopel.com 302-750-8563

    Awards: Rising Star Award

    Member Note: I wrote this song music/lyric alone


    LITTLE CARDBOARD BOX

                                                         
                                                            

    As a child he'd fly to the moon And sail the seven seas His eyes sparkled with wonder There were no limits to his dreams One day he’d be a pirate, The next, an astronaut In his little cardboard box On His 18th birthday, He waved goodbye to his folks Strapped on his seatbelt Ready to hit the open road With some old Springsteen records And a t-shirt from woodstock Packed n a little cardboard box Life slips by, and we forget the child we used to be Life slips by, our dreams fade to reality Now he sits in his office, In a suit of charcoal gray Pours his fourth cup of coffee As he sleepwalks through his days Watches the seconds crawl by Tosses yet another report Into a little cardboard box Life slips by, and we forget the child we used to be Life slips by, our dreams fade to reality He sips a beer on his front porch Watches his little girl play She flies to the moon in her cardboard box He hopes her wonder never fades

  10. 10. MY FIRST BROKEN HEART - Avrim Topel
    Awards: Received Interest Rising Star Award


    MY FIRST BROKEN HEART

                                                         
                                                            

    My First Broken Heart Victoria Banks/Patrick Dodge/Avrim Topel I’m standing on the front porch steps and it’s starting to rain You’re spinning up the dust in a dark blue Chevrolet I remember your face in the rearview starting to fade And I’m looking at you but you’re just looking away It still haunts me, It still kills me It’s still with me Chorus My first broken heart The first time I felt things fall apart No other hurt hurts quite that hard That’s the one that makes you who you are My first broken heart Took some time and some tears to get me to a better place But there’s a part of me still trying to fill that empty space There’s been a few since then so it wasn’t my last goodbye But they just cut the same old cracks that were cut by  Chorus It still haunts me, It still kills me It’s still with me, It always will be My first broken heart No other hurt hurts quite that hard That’s the one that makes you who you are Almost 8 years old Crying and trying not to let it show Askin Mama why you had to go Daddy, I wonder if you even know You were my first broken heart I’m standing on the front porch steps and it’s starting to rain You’re spinning up the dust in a dark blue Chevrolet END

  12. 12. NO GREATER LOVE (FULL DEMO) - Matthew Soileau
    Awards: Received Interest Rising Star Award

    Member Note: All of these songs I have submitted to you Country & CCM have received pitches from publishers but I haven't put it together enough to get a cut yet. Closest was 2 songs on hold by Andrew Jannakos and a pitch to Buddy Cannon for K. Chesney.


    NO GREATER LOVE (FULL DEMO)

                                                         
                                                            

    I wandered away into the darkness Looking for redemption in all the wrong places Chasing empty things that glittered and shined Then you came to me in the wilderness with your light Who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one A savior who believes in true love Your grace chases me down again and again Your sacrifice is stronger than my sin It overcomes, It's more than enough Your body and blood, All given up There's no greater love There's no greater love No greater love Seventy times seven I put you to the test I don't understand why I have any chances left But with open arms you still seek me Now I believe, now I believe Who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one A savior who believes in true love Your grace chases me down again and again Your sacrifice is stronger than my sin It overcomes, It's more than enough Your body and blood, All given up There's no greater love There's no greater love No greater love Bridge: You pursue me, you pursue me Like there's no other soul in the world Now I will go with you on that less traveled road Bring me home Lord, bring me home Who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one A savior who believes in true love Your grace chases me down again and again Your sacrifice is stronger than my sin It overcomes, It's more than enough Your body and blood, All given up There's no greater love There's no greater love No greater love

  15. 15. SO HELP ME GOD - Matthew Soileau
    Awards: Rising Star Award

    Member Note: I have a lot of radio ready CCM songs. But it's hard to find a publisher that has CCM artist connections. I was going for a King & Country feel on this one. I know Curb/Word has a CCM division and several artists.


    SO HELP ME GOD

                                                         
                                                            

    I feel like my soul's in critical condition It's cracked through and through with pain and rejection My inner demons lied to me and led me astray I always seem to be the first one in last place So help me God I'm so lost and afraid My thoughts are heavy Help me God Every road is a dead end I can never win Help me God I've fallen but I still believe in grace I'm calling from the darkness for you to light my way So help me God So help me God Lord, I've got this hunger that can't be fed I've searched everywhere but I still can't rest I couldn't find a remedy for my despair Until that day I heard a street preacher's prayer He reminded me of John 3:16 That’s when your word washed me clean So help me God I'm so lost and afraid My thoughts are heavy Help me God Every road is a dead end I can never win Help me God I've fallen but I still believe in grace I'm calling from the darkness for you to light my way So help me God So help me God Help me God I want my life story re-written in the red letters of redemption I’m sending up a simple prayer So help me God I'm so lost and afraid My thoughts are heavy Help me God Every road is a dead end I can never win Help me God I've fallen but I still believe in grace I'm calling from the darkness for you to light my way So help me God So help me God So help me God

  16. 16. SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE - Mitchell Collins
    Awards: Rising Star Award

    Member Note: Hello, this was a co-write. I prepared the music and contributed equally on lyrics with my co-writer. Thanks for listening.


    SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE

                                                         
                                                            

    Soundtrack of my Life V1 Cicadas on a summer night Snapping limb in a tree I climbed The whistling of the wind as I was falling through the air Baseball pops into my glove Playing catch dad showed his love He was a man of few words, but I always knew he cared Croaking bullfrogs down by the lake, my mama laughing at the jokes I’d make Crackling campfires for making smores, listening back on the memories I stored Chorus On the soundtrack of my life, plays in my head all the time I’ve lived the liner notes, cuz the lyrics are the ones I wrote They’re made of the ups and downs, lows and highs Love and loss, wrongs and rights When I hear them, sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry Either way, they’re recorded on the soundtrack of my life Yeah, the soundtrack of my life V2 The first cries my daughter cried, When born into this earthly life Her breathing when she’s sleeping has a rhythm and a tone The voicemail my brother left, The one that I forgot to check Until the day I found out he was never coming home The rumbling of the engine in my first truck, Lynyrd Skynyrd singing turn it up Slamming doors when I was mad as hell, another track for this album I cannot sell Bridge Who I am is made up of every single sound I can't wait to hear the next ones coming round

  17. 17. SUNNYSIDE UP - Matthew Soileau
    Awards: Rising Star Award

    Member Note: One last pitch that's a little different...unique...pure happiness and love. Same arrangement as on our other songs...I gave B.C. all the lyrics written out for a full song and he did his magic with music composition and vocals.


    SUNNYSIDE UP

                                                         
                                                            

    Good morning sunshine I got my coffee and I got you Don’t need nothing else to chase away the blues Bacon is sizzling in the pan Guess it was the eggs and toast I brought you in bed All it took was a touch of your hand Saturday morning love making impromptu You let your heart lead You know my heart's needs It's true love, that's Gospel truth Everyday is sunny side up Everyday you're building up my trust Showing me brand new ways to love Keeping our devotion from gathering dust Since I met you, ooh, ooh Everyday is sunny side up Everyday is sunny side up, sunny side up Good morning sunshine You raised the blinds and let in the light Your kiss is the lighter that makes my world bright You make lovin’ so easy That I don’t believe in tough love, there ain't no bad blood Ain't no rain, ain't no clouds, life is breezy So I don’t believe in hard times Like we're flying up on a bottle rocket Ain't no bad news can stop us You take me up sky high Everyday is sunny side up Everyday you're building up my trust Showing me brand new ways to love Keeping our devotion from gathering dust Since I met you, ooh, ooh Everyday is sunny side up Everyday is sunny side up, sunny side up BRIDGE: That smile won me over easy Now I never get up on the wrong side of the bed Oh, your beauty your kiss keeps me one step ahead Everyday is sunny side up Everyday you're building up my trust Showing me brand new ways to love Keeping our devotion from gathering dust Since I met you, ooh, ooh Everyday is sunny side up Everyday is sunny side up, sunny side up

    THINGS I NEVER KNEW

                                                         
                                                            

    Things I Never Knew Sunday morning tunes on the radio taking My mind on rewind, replaying You and me, on repeat, now it’s just a memory Looking back, baby how’d I miss that You shined brighter than a mid-July Technicolor sunset I had it all, almost, but how was I to know That you would’ve changed my life And I should’ve held on tight But I let you slip right out of my hands Never had one clue what I had And girl I know I could spend Forever wanting you back again Baby now what would I do With all the things I, things I never knew Things I never knew Words I never said, all up in my head Kicking myself that I ever left you wondering When it comes to us I was, so oblivious That you would’ve changed my life And I should’ve held on tight But I let you slip right out of my hands Never had one clue what I had And girl I know I could spend Forever wanting you back again Baby now what would I do With all the things I never knew And I never saw it coming And I never saw you going If it’s any consolation It's killing me just knowing That you would’ve changed my life And I should've held on tight But I let you slip right out of my hands Never had one clue what I had And girl I know I could spend Forever wanting you back again Baby now what I would I do With all the things I, things I never knew Things I never knew Things I never knew Things I never knew

    TRUST

                                                         
                                                            

    TRUST Time The most important things in life Take time Love can be a hard hill to climb Until you know That you won’t fall if you let go Chorus No rhyme or reason I can’t put my finger on it It ain’t always perfect But you know it’s honest When you get every part of me And what we got is all I need It comes to something more than love All we need is Trust All we need is Trust Safe All of you makes all of me Feel safe Never thought I’d ever feel this way But I was wrong And I thank God you came along...so REPEAT CHORUS It’s more than (just) the way you feel Cuz when it’s earned you know it’s real REPEAT CHORUS

    Bright and early we get our hands dirty turning the Georgia clay, spend our time in a Pennsylvania coal mine missing the light of day, roll up miles burning down the highway from New York to L.A. get it done in the Santa Fe sun and Seattle rain and God knows we ain't afraid of a little hard work, and we don't ever ask for nothing we ain't earned, we the people, a country strong we'll stand forever, cause we never stand alone we the people, proud and brave we're the ones who make this land we love great, we the people generations defended this nation, no matter what the cost, and we all pause in mem'ry of the heroes we have lost, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters who made a sacrifice, to protect the ones they love, and our way of life when the cause of freedom needs a little help, who's the ones that rise up? you know we will we the people, a country strong we'll stand forever, cause we never stand alone we the people, proud and brave we're the ones who make this land we love great, we the people

  21. 21. WHEN NASHVILLE CRIES - Alexsi Mallory

    Member Note: I wrote this song music/lyrics alone...in memory of songwriter Andrew Dorff.


    WHEN NASHVILLE CRIES

                                                         
                                                            

    WHEN NASHVILLE CRIES V1 A candle burns in Nashville, you rest in peace It's like you’re still with us, in that empty seat Storyteller, wake us from our Silent Night You always had the words, bring us back to life CH When Nashville cries, a guitar weeps A writer finds a pen, ‘n fingers dance on keys The band takes the stage, and a songbird spreads her wings When Nashville cries…we sing V2 A New Year’s mirror, through a crystal ball shine Where pink champagne pops, a round of Auld Lang Syne No fighting back tears, we raise our glasses high Hoping we might reach you, on the other side Repeat Chorus One voice, then two, down every street and avenue Music Row plays for you, That's How You Know That’s How You Know Repeat Chorus When Nashville cries...we sing

    Whole Lotta Holes (v1) I’ve been holed up in this house For 2 long weeks now Stacking beer cans on pizza boxes And going crazy Got holes in my jeans From getting down on my knees Praying that you’d come back to me I miss you baby Chorus There’s a hole in my wall the shape of my fist From a hole in my thinking it would help me get over this Big ole hole in my heart that just won’t disappear Girl, you left a whole lotta holes around here (2) Tell my friends I'm doing fine I'll be ok, I’m alright But time keeps poking holes in my story (Bridge) Girl, nothing’s going to fix this Hollow, empty feeling Aint nothing gonna fill me up, fill me up But your sweet, sweet, love Chorus There’s a hole in my wall the shape of my fist From a hole in my thinking it would help me get over this Big ole hole in my heart that just won’t disappear Girl, you left a whole lotta holes around here

  24. 24. YOU BE THE STORM - Jonny Born
    Awards: Received Interest Rising Star Award

    Member Note: I wrote the music, top line and lyrics for this song.


    YOU BE THE STORM

                                                         
                                                            

    Sometimes a dream collides with a nightmare And they both come true And it feels just like your world is gonna break in two If every turn you take Leads to a path unknown Let my love show the way And never walk alone When your bridges are burning and the ashes rain down and you find yourself running Praying you're never found When you want to ride the wind But your wings are worn I'll be the mountain And you be the storm I'll be the mountain And you be the storm When the price of life is too high And the world holds you down I will lift you up my dear To find higher ground I'm the bright sun in your sky And the solid ground below You can rest on my love Oh, the peace you'll know When your bridges are burning And the ashes rain down And you find yourself running Praying you're never found When you want to ride the wind But your wings are worn I'll be the mountain You be the storm I'm the rock you can lean on I'm the summit you can climb I'm forever yours and you are mine When your bridges are burning And the ashes rain down You find yourself walking On uncommon ground When you want to ride the wind But your sails are torn You be the waves And I'll be the shore When your bridges are burning And the ashes rain down You find yourself running Praying you're never found When you want to ride the wind But your wings are worn I'll be the mountain And You be the storm I'll be the mountain And you be the storm
