Soothing the Savage Beasties
Music does well for my daughters, especially when they are in need of sleep. Ava has gotten a hunger for more than Justin Timberlake, and seems to be demanding Lady GaGa. It’s to the point that I go to bed at night and can’t get that damned song ‘Bad Romance’ out of my head. But, I love dancing her to sleep. Never thought I’d say something like that before.
Ella, on the other hand, seems to have an ear for Radiohead’s ‘How to Disappear Completely’. One of my favorite tracks.
Thinking of how music has played a part in my life, and how I’ve used it to sooth myself, I can’t help but think as to where they’ll go and how music will follow them.

To go along with the previous post, this is the official video version of “Stable Song” by Death Cab for Cutie. I was choked up after watching it for the first time. Amazing, really.

“Stable Song” is my favorite Death Cab for Cutie track. I hear it once, and it haunts me all day.
This is a nice acoustic cover by nikkis0 that I found on YouTube earlier this morning.

“Standing in the Back” by Brian Carey and Michael Gorsuch
This was recorded somewhere in 2002. My friend Brian and I would meet up every few months or so, and write and record a song in about two hours. Production quality was always lacking (we were in my apartment), and things were always very unpolished. But the spontaneity made it worth it.

White Trash Nation by Griff.
This is one of the first songs I remember hearing him perform, back when I’m not sure that he really knew how good he could play.

Blue Breakfast
A light-hearted blues from Griff to start the day.
Time for one more baby feeding, then off to work for me. Enjoy.

This is a re-recording of a song I wrote within the last year or two. It’s just an instrumental, but I hope you enjoy it all the same.

I’ve been so buried in babies and work, I haven’t been able to bring you the daily Griff. Here’s an awesome instrumental from a couple days ago.

Here’s a song I wrote based partly on the Dust Bowl era and partly on a poem called, “A Dutch Proverb” by Matthew Prior. Hope you enjoy.
“Oklahoma Dirt”, by Griff. Click through to follow the lyrics, and wonder what source he is tapping to come up with this.

Michael Stipe with Coldplay - In The Sun (2005)
Chris Martin:
This is the best song ever written, in my opinion.
It’s the weekend, and the kiddos are snoozing. Time for a little more music.

Aww. I got a dedication.
“Drama Queen”, by Griff.
I wrote this song because I was in a nostalgic mood. I dedicate this song to Kendal, Glenn, B.C., and Empty Cup (Mike, Brandon, and Romio). Ah, the old days. Where have they gone? Who really cares?
