Incredible by Griff from the album: Complete Songs of 2011

Here’s a bit of saccharine for youse guys.

Incredible

I feel incredible
When I head back home
Cause I can kiss you goodnight
And I can hold you tight
And I can tell you how much
I missed you today

I feel wonderful
When you touch my hand
And then you look in my eyes
And I know I’ve won the prize
And then you tell me how much
You love me today

I feel incredible
When I think of you
But I can’t kiss you hello
And you will never even know
Cause you just live in my head
And you don’t exist

These Days by Griff from the album: Complete Songs of 2011

These Days (I Don’t Think of You)

I don’t speak aloud much nowadays
I’d probably speak in nonsense anyway
It’s nice to hear from you every now and then
And hear how much happier you are with him

But I don’t think of you these days
I don’t think of you these days
When I fall asleep
These days I just think of me
And I can sleep well

I heard you have a job don’t know what you do
The stars and the universe will have to wait for you
How’s your little girl and how old is she
My back is hurting now and so’s my feet

Coal Black Coat by Griff from the album: Winter

At least today wasn’t a complete waste. Recorded this in one take with no overdubs.

Coal Black Coat

Underneath my coal black coat
Undaunted by the unseen cold I’m trying
But despite my cigarette lined lips
My heart is always breaking
Maybe in a line or two
I could plead my case to you, well, maybe
But the words that I would like to say
Get stuck when they’re in my head

All I wish for is happiness
And time to find my way
I’ll come back another day
To see what else you have to say

Underneath my coal black coat
My skin is peeling back my soul I’m dying
But I don’t know why my lungs still breathe
Or why my heart keeps beating
Sometimes it’s too cold to move
My blankets cover all I do at negative
Four hundred fifty-nine degrees
Then everything stops moving

How the Wind Blows by Griff from the album: Winter

It’s been a couple months since I recorded anything so I finally recorded this song that I wrote a couple weeks ago. It’s a simple song and my voice is a little rusty, but hopefully I can write another song by the end of the week.

How the Wind Blows

If I could take my time
I’d watch how the wind blows
Staring through windows at you
I could fall asleep
Dreaming of your arms
But love it don’t come cheap when you’re alone

If I could walk away
I’d send you a postcard
To tell you what I saw without you
But I still fall apart
Whenever I’m with you
But all in all I guess I’m hanging on

Cause I love how the wind blows

I love how the wind blows
When I’m alone
