Henderson2024-04-05 | ...PMJ I Will Survive LiveDouglas R. Henderson2024-04-05 | Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" as performed live by Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox featuring Tia Simone April 4, 2024 at the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation Dugas Pavilion in Destin, Florida.Love is a SighDouglas R. Henderson2023-08-31 | Lyrics (so far):
Is it too late, no matter what I say Baby, I've changed, won't make the same mistakes I heard you loud and clear you need your space I'm pouring out my heart all the same
Love is a sigh, the way we lock eyes, the laughter of your daughter whose joy makes you smile Love is a kiss and all I know is this There is no love without you here
Now I must say, you gotta be brave Cause, baby, I've changed, you might find me strange I heard you loud and clear there's no time to waste I'm pouring out my heart cause I can't wait
Love is your light, your kindness burning bright your selfless care for others that defines your life Love is my wish and all I know is this There is no love without you here.Douglas R Henderson - Freedom Sells (Tiny Desk Audition Video)Douglas R. Henderson2023-03-13 | Freedom Sells By: Douglas R. Henderson
Blood runs red though we’re filled with greed The more we build it up the more it’s hard to see Baby got drunk and burned the food Threw it all out cause she wanted to They say it’s all in who you know If who know makes it out to your show Buys a little merch, spends a lot of dough Tagging ourselves in our Facebook posts
(We've got) high hopes, we’re choking on the rope Ah, but we hung ourselves. I guess it’s just as well, we've... Got high hopes, lest we somehow loose the yoke Ah, but we kid ourselves. Can’t be free cause freedom sells!
Porn stars are not your friends No matter how much and how far you get Rich drove drunk then knocked ‘em dead Got 10 years in a race car bed They say it’s all in who you know, if who you know has a lot of money though Poor, lazy people oughta take some notes Retweet that shit cause that shit's dope!
(We've got) high hopes, we’re choking on the rope Ah, but we hung ourselves. I guess it’s just as well, we've... Got high hopes, lest we somehow loose the yoke. Ah, but we kid ourselves. Can’t be free cause freedom sells!

Can’t be free cause freedom sells!Douglas R. Henderson - Condo Mints (Official Video)Douglas R. Henderson2022-06-07 | Condo Mints is the official music video to the song of the same name by Douglas R. Henderson. The song was recorded for his Three Sides of the Same Record compilation, which included Songs of Mange EP (bluegrass songs about his cat, Mange), Condo Mints EP (hip-hop songs about condiments), and DeTuned EP (love songs written on an out-of-tune piano).
Condo Mints features a combination of hip-hop tyles to include boom-bap, rap rock, and bounce, but drifts into a style of its own in which Douglas channels is experiences while deployed to the Middle East. The lyrics are packed with colorful descriptions of several different types of condiments, and artfully educates the listener to the origins of condiments in general, as well as pop-culture references that might surprise you.
Condo Mints with all compliments Condo Mints make all kinds of sense Condo Mints can hardly pay rent Condo Mints puts the condo in mints
Condo Mints are crucial and central, farm to table, all kinds of potential Condo Mints make your picnic seem happy, more for the choosing, less likely crappy Condo Mints spice up your sandwich, top off your burger, calm every witch Condo Mints are more than required, take it from me, Condo inspired
(chorus)
Condo Mints preserved every year, pickled foods from the Latin, "condere" Condo Mints can be fishy like garum, came from the Greeks who were happy to sharum Condo Mints like chutneys and curries send men like me the potty in a hurry Condo Mints have come very far, take it from me, Condo bazaar
(chorus)
Condo Mints include many styles, sauces and dips, spicy or mild Condo Mints can be made in your kitchen, homemade mayo can be very bit... Condo Mints nutritional facts, high in sodium, no usually fat Condo Mints can even be minty, take it from me, Condo aplenty
(chorus)
Condo Mints rain down your face, blessings from the Condo gods grace Condo Mints my cup over flows, stings so sweet when it gets in my nose Condo Mints growing in numbers, king of the meme, Supernatural Tumblr Condo Mints, naughty and nice, take it from me, Condo surpriseIndy Trip 2021Douglas R. Henderson2021-10-25 | We finally made it to Indianapolis, Indiana, to visit family and do some cool stuff! We went to The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, got to check out the awesome architecture of the State Capitol Building, saw the beautiful art at the Eiteljorg Museum, ran around Mass Ave, and happened to land a private tour of the new Bottleworks Hotel; we also did an escape room, but they wouldn't allow us to film in there.

Henderson2021-10-09 | We went to the Barn Hill Preserve in Ethel, Louisiana, in September of 2021. They had a wonderful variety of animals and a well informed and entertaining tour guide. To top off the overall Preserve experience, we also got to swim with baby otters for nearly an hour. We drove over from Florida, stayed the night in Baton Rouge, and then spent the day at the Preserve; the drive, the gas, the hotel stay, it was all worth it.

Make sure to go to GoFundMe and donate to become a part of this exciting process. funds.gofundme.com/dashboard/dougs-new-3-part-albumCould It Be EasierDouglas R. Henderson2015-11-22 | One of the older songs, "Could It Be Easier" was written in Germany around 2004. And like many other songs, is a common reflection on love and loss. However, in this instance, the question is raised - could it be easier to just let go and move on?
Playing the game, shooting the stars, the ideology that perverts our minds and convinces us that we need to have this kind of relationship or be with that type of person, pigeon holds us and causes disruptions and misunderstanding.
"Stop that, rewind. Remember good times. Can't stand to fight, so just breathe. I'm wondering..."Forget What I SaidDouglas R. Henderson2015-11-22 | "Forget What I Said" is yet another one of those songs that was written without intention, but seems to become relevant when it needs to be.Reflections on Love in ProcessDouglas R. Henderson2015-09-29 | As the title suggests, "Reflections on Love in Process" takes you from the first point of contact through the insanity that is love at first sight. This song was written in 2008-2009 immediately after meeting Cara at The Cafe in Macomb, Illinois.
It was a great love that did more for each of us than we may ever realize or care to admit. And although it ended, as you may notice at various times during the video, the thought of love's greatness never truly leaves us. Maybe she will hear it again after so many years and smile as well.
That last bit at the end was just me screwing up the chords because I was trying to whistle the horn section that's in my head and failing.Douglas Henderson Live StreamDouglas R. Henderson2015-09-25 | ...Destiny ManifestDouglas R. Henderson2015-09-19 | "Destiny Manifest" was penned with the full band, Henderson, in 2008. This 19th century American delusion creeps into most of my more political leaning songs. Obviously I have inverted "Manifest Destiny" and the meaning as a literary device to address several ironic perspectives, beliefs and policies I have encountered. I could go into greater detail as to why I think I wrote this song, but I'll let you arrive at your own conclusions. The ending, you'll notice, seems a bit short and that is because it was originally extended with a wonderful solo by the incomparable Luke Hanlin.This TimeDouglas R. Henderson2015-09-19 | We are often confronted with the prospect of losing a friend over something trivial. We hold on to anger and disappointment, allowing both to infect our minds and disrupt communication. "This Time" was my response to such a disruption back in 2005.These Are The DaysDouglas R. Henderson2015-09-19 | A newer song, written in 2015, "These Are The Days" is a dialogue with humanity. It is a blunt forecast of the immediate future, the now, in relation to where we were and the continuation of the subjugation of the polis - the forced obedience to the ruling order that will continue without mercy enslaving our bodies and our minds for as long as we remain silent.
As it was, so shall it be. With the majority of the population of the planet living in poverty, dying needlessly of preventable illnesses, these truly are the best days for those in power, killing off the opposition and taking for themselves all that they can take.The Problem With MEDouglas R. Henderson2015-09-19 | Written around mid-2008, "The Problem With Me" takes a look at the build up of the individual self in society at large. The focus on the "Me", the "I" and what's "Mine" dissolves our perception of the whole and devolves humanity into a jumbled mess of egomaniacal children...I write and sing and post on my facebook page hypocritically.I Could Be FineDouglas R. Henderson2015-09-19 | This is one of the first songs I wrote when I returned from the Army and Germany in 2005.
"I Could Be Fine" is largely about the realization that heart break is often a choice. We can become fixated on a narrow view of our lives and the people in them, to the point where moving on and forward, no matter how logical it may be, can be devastating.Big Green UmbrellaDouglas R. Henderson2015-09-19 | The 1-6 Scout Platoon was deployed to Iraq from 2003-2004. As they would roll through sector 10, an Iraqi man would stand on the corner of the street with a giant green umbrella waving. "Big Green Umbrella" was written when I returned from deployment in 2004.Bait & ShameDouglas R. Henderson2015-09-19 | This song was written in 2009. Another love song, "Bait & Shame" chronicles the struggle between a love that is right and the timing that is wrong. I have found my love often poorly timed.
