Derrick McKee Lyrics & Notes: “On the 28th”
Listen to “On the 28th” Buy on iTunes There are Five Stages of Grief: 1. Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression 5. Acceptance. Like “Long Drive Home“, “On the 28th” is a stage-2 song with a backbone. The song was born out of a break-up, and the break-up wasn’t pretty. I remember writing this song after hanging on to a promise for several days, only for the promise to fall through....

Derrick McKee Let Go of Your Heart, Let Go of Your Head, and Feel It Now
I remember hearing David Gray’s song “Babylon” for the first time about 10 years ago. At the time I was just beginning to write my own songs and was still finding my voice. “Babylon” had a strong influence and impression on me back then and still does to this day (in fact, learning “Babylon” on guitar somehow led directly to my song “Eventually” being written)....

If you enjoy my version, check out 3EB’s studio version from their album Out of the Vein. In fact, even if you don’t like my version, check theirs out....

Derrick McKee Lyrics & Notes: “Lift Me Up Again”
Listen to “Lift Me Up Again” Buy on iTunes “Lift Me Up Again” was the third song I ever wrote. For some reason I can remember it was written in the month of February. This is your classic song about being the Mayor of Friendsville, making a move, blowing it, and attempting to fix it. After writing several slower songs, I started working on an upbeat rhythm and melody, but the song actually lacked...

Derrick McKee Lyrics & Notes: “Long Drive Home”
Listen to “Long Drive Home” Buy on iTunes I wrote “Long Drive Home” while sitting in the passenger seat of a car in the middle of a 3-hour drive home from a holiday vacation gone bad. The drive was one of the weirdest experiences I’ve ever had as my then-girlfriend decided to break up with me on [...]
