Love flows out of these luminous places
Love lies down in the deep of the sea
Falls out of the sky in millions of pieces on me
I've been over these highways for years in the dark
Crisscrossing the land like a stitch on the wound
Rolling through the night while millions were sleeping
Under every phase of the moon
Under every phase of the moon
And the wind blows down hard in the night
With the ghosts of the brave and the damned
Howling their song, locked in their fight
Over every inch of this land
Over every inch of this land
And they say what is lost will be what is won
What is done will be done and undone again
They say don't think for a second that you won't become
One more voice on the wind
One more voice on the wind
All that I am is a dream that I had
One morning so early and blue
It flew over the river and the freezing bus stops
On a song that I sang to you
On a song that I sang to you
Love flows out of these luminous places
Love lies down in the deep of the sea
Falls out of the sky in millions of pieces on me
Love lies down in the deep of the sea
Falls out of the sky in millions of pieces on me
I've been over these highways for years in the dark
Crisscrossing the land like a stitch on the wound
Rolling through the night while millions were sleeping
Under every phase of the moon
Under every phase of the moon
And the wind blows down hard in the night
With the ghosts of the brave and the damned
Howling their song, locked in their fight
Over every inch of this land
Over every inch of this land
And they say what is lost will be what is won
What is done will be done and undone again
They say don't think for a second that you won't become
One more voice on the wind
One more voice on the wind
All that I am is a dream that I had
One morning so early and blue
It flew over the river and the freezing bus stops
On a song that I sang to you
On a song that I sang to you
Love flows out of these luminous places
Love lies down in the deep of the sea
Falls out of the sky in millions of pieces on me

Tell you what: you go through chemo and radiation, so painful you lose your voice entirely - forget singing, just talking. Write songs through the whole brutal ordeal.
Come back and record an album, then go on tour to promote it. Let me know how that goes for you.
Sure I'm biased, but Ms. Griffin has more talent, pitchy or not, than a whole raft of singer-songwriters. Not to mention guts and grit in spades.
Best,
c.Patty is a national treasure

She's on tour and I'm looking forward to her July 13th performance at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Va.
I definitely prefer her happier sound in "Big Love"... this is almost like a dirge. It kind of reminds me how Natalie Merchant started her solo career with high spirited songs like "Wonder" and eventually meandered into slow plodding songs like "Giving Up Everything" and "Thick As Thieves".
Gorgeous. Just lovely.

Reminds me of a phrase I once heard: "The midwest is a great place to grow up and move away from." I'm an Illinois boy now settled in California so, yeah.
I think that Maine is somewhere I’d have liked to be from.

K, I’m going to be late for a meeting, but not turning this off!

Her voice is as beautiful as ever, so glad we get to hear new material. I like the album title too...
New Patty! Very nice.

Thank you
Ahhh...these lyrics!
What an incredible talent. She makes it look so easy. Nice to hear some new stuff, although honestly I'd listen to her sing a phone book.
