all these years i have been waiting
all those lies that you have told
all these days that flow together
i will stay alone
all these nights i lay not sleeping
meet each sunrise tired and blue
all my dreams of our love keeping
my heart stays safe at home
all your words close to me precious
i’ll take with me to heaven above
do not spend your days ungracious
and you will find your one true love
you will find your one love
It’s a strange time when you can call someone you met on MySpace a friend. I would say that about Tom however we really haven’t been able to connect outside of the Space world. One thing I can say though is that I’ve met several people on the net whom I now consider good friends and all because of Ray LaMontagne, his music brought as all together. Tom and I started chatting several years ago when Ray was out here touring with Rachel Yamagata. I’ve been in touch on and off.
Laura you might know of him since he’s been hitting the Chicago scene for several years now. If you don’t know of him you soon will. He recently finished his debut album, it is currently being mastered and I’m really looking forward to hearing what he’s done.
I’ll leave you with a few of his songs from his gigging days. From the looks of it I think these may be on his new album, I’m not sure if he ever released them before but I had them under “Jennifer LP” so they must have been.
Check him out on his MySpace page. You can also find him on Virb. I think you all will like him.

I’ve been listening to Griffin House ever since his “Lost and Found” album. There are several songs off that album that I still love but the one that initially captured my attention was “Waterfall”, it’s such a beautiful sad song. Another one of my favorites was “Tell Me Lie”. It wasn’t until this weekend when my iPod was on shuffle that I was reminded of him again.
I was online today buying some music and ran across a review of Griffin’s new album, so I ventured over to his page to hear a little more. It’s funny because I’ve never really thought he sounded much like Jack Johnson but for some odd reason someone did. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t hear the comparison.
Review below from Fingerprints:
Griffin House - Flying Upside Down
Griffin is a songwriter who will forever be compared to Jack Johnson, only because Jack got there first. Griffin has a laid-back feel to his music, but where Jack feels like the beach, Griffin’s music is much more informed by solid characters and an earthy-ness that just isn’t associated with the coast - it’s music that is much more like a house-fire than a bonfire.
He’s currently on tour, I’m thinking of catching his Troubadour show I’ve missed him every other time he’s been in L.A.
