"Never Be My Baby"

I’ve got a feeling that I’ll never be lonely
While you’re in my head
And if I’ll never be your one and only
A boy can dream instead 
Knowing you know is good enough for me, baby
So I won’t even try
And while you hold him I’ll be kissing the shadows
And chase the stars in the sky

No, you’ll never be my baby
Oh no, you’ll never be my baby
Oh yeah

In his apartment over there by the window
I think of taking a chance
(I think I might take a chance)
I practice asking you to go to a disco
But I don’t know how to dance
(I don’t know how to dance)
If I could show you everything I’ve been dreaming 
Then you would understand
My friends say if I had more self-esteem 
Then you might take my hand
(Come on and take my hand)

No, you’ll never be my baby
Oh no, you’ll never be my baby
Oh yeah

I keep on hoping that you’ll turn to me, babe
And I wait for the day
I close my eyes and it’s a guarantee, so
I won’t wish it away

No (no), you’ll never be my baby
Ooh no, you’ll never be my baby
Oh yeah

No (no), you’ll never be my baby
Ooh no, you’ll never be my baby
Oh yeah

You'll never be my baby
It's ok
You'll never be my baby
It's ok
You'll never be my baby

LYRICS:
I don't really love you when you cry
Can't bear to see your face when tears
Are gumming up your eyes
The sound of it just makes me wanna die
No I don't really love you when you cry

Babe, I think you're phony when you weep
You can share the health with me
But all the sickness? You can keep
And if you must, please don't disturb my sleep
Cause baby I can't stand it when you weep

You know I'd move the stars and moon for you
I'd give up all my friends, my job
My house, my family too
But you know that there's just one think I won't do
I'll never wipe your tears when you are blue

I don't really love you when you cry
If a shoulder's what you need go out
And find some other guy
I know that it might not be very nice
But I don't really love you when you cry
No I don't really love you when you cry

I Don't Really Love You When You Cry

Brian Michael Henry’s new EP, "The Horror! The Horror!," is a five-track collection of New Wave-inspired alt-pop tracks that examine love and desire from the perspective of classic horror characters.

"The Horror! The Horror!" may only be Henry’s second recorded release—following 2021’s "Remote Work"—but he’s no stranger to the stage, having made a career in opera and musical theater before diving head first into home recording at the height of the 2020 pandemic. 

Throughout "The Horror! The Horror!," Henry examines the humanity of monsters and the monstrosity of humans atop pulsing layers of cold electronic production that call to mind both John Carpenter’s signature synth scores and modern darkwave artists like Cold Cave in equal measure. Henry’s vocals, however, are reminiscent of Stephin Merritt’s signature croon and lend a notable warmth to each song, creating a more three-dimensional portrait of his characters and heightening the emotional resonance of the EP.

Although Henry’s background is in musical theater, his songwriting prowess and synth-heavy instrumentation throughout "The Horror! The Horror!" eschews any acute Broadway sensibility in favor of New Wave and post-punk influence, a recent development in Henry’s tenure as a writer and performer.
