  • Comedy Can Be - A Country Ballad

    This song is adapted from Brandon Morse’s article, Comedy Is Not Ruled by Committee and That’s Why the Left Hates It (https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2026/10/15/comedy-is-not-ruled-by-committee-and-thats-why-the-left-hates-it-n2208169)

    Comedy Can Be lyrics

    Comedy can be, comedy can beOne of the greatest weaponsGreatest weapons for goodThe world has ever known

    Comedy can access people’s heartsComedy can access people’s mindsThat severity just can’t doAnd comedy can cause people to welcomeWelcome perspectivesThat they would’ve been hesitantTo engage with normally

    Also, and I’d sayThis is the most important partThe most important part for societyComedy slays sacred cowsComedy slays in a wayIn a way that debateAnd in a way logic just can’t do

    Safe comedy isn’t funnyIt’s propaganda with a laugh trackEither everything can be joked aboutOr nothing can be joked about

    Comedy can be, comedy can beOne of the greatest weaponsGreatest weapons for goodThe world has ever known

    Comedy slays sacred cowsComedy slays in a wayIn a way that debateAnd in a way logic just can’t do

  • Dolly Parton: In Memoriam

    This song is based on a few quotes from Dolly Parton, singer, songwriter, and actress. God bless this great singer. So many people lover her and will miss her.

    Here are the Dolly Parton quotes incorporated into this song.

    I’m willing to get up early. I’m willing to stay up late. I just feel like it’s my duty, it’s my job and my joy.

    Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.

    For a dream to come true, you gotta put legs and wings and feet and hands and thought into it.

    I always want to do things that I can be proud to talk about, things that I believe in.

    I do the best I can every day, and I’m going to enjoy my life. Some people work at being miserable. I work at being happy.

    I just love people. When I look at the audience, I see my family. I see the God light, the goodness, in everybody, even if they can’t see it.

    I just think we need to love one another. I think we need to try a little harder. We need to be a little kinder. We need to be a little smarter. We need to have more love and compassion.

    I pray all the time. I wait for an answer, and I go by that feeling. I will quit when God tells me to quit, and I won’t quit any time before that.

    God had a bigger purpose for me, and I had bigger dreams of my own.

  • A Natural Order: Pursuit of Excellence

    This song is inspired and adapted from a speech by Marco Rubio in front of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. Source: https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/10/07/rubios-western-civilization-speech-in-greece-n2207847,

    A Natural Order

    The unknown can be knownThe world can be chartedThe world can be measuredThe world can be mappedThe world can be understood

    There is a rational orderA rational order to the cosmosIt is governed by fundamental lawsLaws that we can observeThat we can come to understand

    We share the idea of a natural orderA distinctive understanding of virtueOf destinyOf faithOf truthOf goodnessOf beautyA code of how men ought to liveWith objective standardsAnd ideals to strive for

    The pursuit of excellence isThe very principle of our existenceStrive to be the best in all thingsWe will either choose to act nowOr lose the choice to act at all

    Too often, these days,We build downwardsWe design our standardsTo ensure that no one will loseNo one will lose

    We hold the most exceptional thingsThe most exceptional among usHostage to the averageHostage to the ordinaryHostage to the mediocre

    The pursuit of excellence isThe very principle of our existenceStrive to be the best in all thingsWe will either choose to act nowOr lose the choice to act at all

  • I Remember - A Ballad

    This song is based on some of the responses to the Malfoid meme popularized in recent days based on the Harry Potter stories.

    I Remember

    She woke in me feelingsOf love and hopeOf yearning and passionOf happiness that I forgot existed

    I remember, I rememberWhat I once used to live for

    Our culture has spent decadesDecades telling womenThat men don’t matterEven that men are evil

    I remember, I rememberWhat I once used to live for

    Not only are men goodBut men are worth lovingMen will walk through hellWith a smile, a big wide smileFor any woman whoLoves them back, loves them back

    I remember, I rememberWhat I once used to live for

    Men aren’t just starving for loveThey’re starving for loveFor love they can trustFor love that won’t betray them

    I remember, I rememberWhat I once used to live for

    She woke in me feelingsOf love and hopeOf yearning and passionOf happiness that I forgot existed
