Biography

A Nashville-based musician with a Midwestern upbringing, Griffin House spikes his pop/rock songwriting with a dose of rootsy, atmospheric Americana. House was born and raised in Ohio, where he eventually discovered his musical gifts while attending Miami University in Oxford. Inspired by Bruce Springsteen, Woody Guthrie, and the Mermaid Avenue albums by Wilco and Billy Bragg, House embraced the craft of songwriting and issued several albums as an independent artist. His mix of sentimental melodies, ambient guitars, and sparse arrangements attracted attention from Nettwerk, a Vancouver-based record label, and House soon partnered with the label's American branch to issue Lost and Found in 2004. Several self-released albums followed, and House signed with RCA before issuing Flying Upside Down, a folk-rock album recorded with members of Tom Petty's The Heartbreakers. Although originally available via [unknown] in 2007, the record was released in stores early the following year, followed in 2010 by his second album for the Nettwerk label, The Learner. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

    Lyrics
    Honey, when you doubt my love for you
    Look into my eyes what I’m going through
    Even if we change and fall out of
    You hold my hand and it’s better than love
    Save me from myself

    Lyrics
    Dressing my voice up on the phone
    Underneath the envy rotting my bones
    I'd do anything to get you alone, if just for awhile
    Blame it on the way that I talk
    You can blame it on the way that I look

    Lyrics
    It can be a real long road
    It can be a lonely night
    When you're on your own
    And you're running out of light
    It can be a real long ride
