Music to the People

Griffin is one of the best singer songwriters that I have ever heard. His songs impact your soul unlike any artist I know. Now for a little story. Born and raised in Springfield, Ohio, the athletically gifted House turned down a golf scholarship to Ohio U. to persue music, even though he couldn’t play the acoustic guitar nor had he yet written a song. “I took a couple of guitar lessons and got so frustrated that one day I kicked the strings off my guitar,” he recalls with a laugh. “It sat there for about a year, but I took it to school with me and made up my mind I was gonna learn how to play. One night I picked up my guitar and wandered around campus till I could barely keep my eyes open, trying to play this one chord over and over. Finally, around 4 a.m., my hand got used to it and I formed my first G chord.” Soon after he wrote his first song for the high school sweetheart with whom he’d parted ways after graduation. When she came for a visit, House played it for her, and it brought her to tears. I bet you it was the song below. If you like this song, you will love others like "If You Need Me" and "Better Than Love."
