MONET SKY BAND "POUNDING MY HEAD"

GENRE: POP

The song Pounding My Head explores the emotional toll of unrequited love,

capturing the relentless ache of giving your heart to someone who won't—or

can't—give theirs in return. The lyrics express a raw, internal struggle, as if each

unanswered gesture and silent rejection echoes like a pounding in the narrator's

mind. Inspired by the frustration and vulnerability that come from trying to hold

on to something one-sided, the song channels that tension into a powerful,

emotional release. It's a reflection on how love can become both a beautiful

offering and a heavy burden when it's not reciprocated.

Julie Ann Kennedy "You Ain't Seen Crazy Yet"

GENRE: COUNTRY

I wrote this song about my true experience involving an abusive relationship. He

thought he was “God’s gift to women, and always bragged about how “crazy” he

was. His attitude was that he thought he was Prince Charming, wearing his crown

and flaunting his abusive authority; hence, my lyric, “I climb back up and rip off your

‘IMAGINARY CROWN’. He always underestimated me , thinking I was a weak woman

who would follow his orders. So my hook in the song is, “ YOU AINT SEEN CRAZY

YET”. I am showing him and telling him he will never be able to push me around.
