"Give Me One Good Reason" is from Grayson's comeback album AN AMERICAN RECORD (Swamp Yankee Records 2010). Originally written as a solo song, Grayson demo'd it with his friend singer Polly Messer in 1990. Seventeen years late, Polly, now engaged to and co-producing AN AMERICAN RECORD with Grayson, brought out the cassette tape of the demo'd song as a duet. And here it is: a soulful duet about never giving up on your dreams. And true love is something to be protected and treasured. This song is available individually or with the entire album AN AMERICAN RECORD on graysonhugh.net, iTunes, Amazon and Nimbit Music and most other online stores.

This song is about letting go of the past and moving forward with love!!

The Letting Go

This song is about the sacrifices we would make for our loved ones. Would you be able to watch your loved one suffer, knowing you would be able to do something about it, and possibly making the ultimate sacrifice. This is not about changing someone's opinion, but asking you to take the time and think about it.

What Would You Do For Love?

What Would You Do For Love RADIOEDIT

A true classic that was heard and sung countless times while growing up in the O'Brien household and one of my absolute favorite songs to perform!

Here is "December Moon", from my new album "Somewhere Inbetween (The Jersey Sessions 1996)".    
I wrote this song about a girl and our mercurial love that burned bright as the December moon, which we did also both love, and stand under, outside under a streetlight one cold evening, keeping warm. huddled together, in my big long grey coat. True story. (Available now on graysonhugh.net)

"December Moon"
Lyrics by Grayson Hugh
Music by Grayson Hugh & Marc Swersky

Do you remember
a cold dark night in Winter
 when you came to see me at the show? 

I stepped off the stage 
I saw you standin’ there 
we walked outside to quiet fields of snow 

Ice in the trees  makin’ silver sounds
 the river was frozen 
Spring comin’ no time soon 

That was the time
 when you were mine 
and we were drinkin’ the wine 
of the deep December moon 

Do you remember those nights 
we went runnin’ through the streets 
laughin’ and fallin’ down so wild with love? 

We stopped under a streetlight 
we were kissin’ and shiverin’ 
and your eyes were brigh
t like the stars above 

We were keepin’ warm
 in my long grey coat 
standin’ in a trance 
Spring comin’ no time soon
 
That was the time 
when you were mine 
and we just couldn’t leave 
that deep December moon 

Now it’s comin’ ‘round again 
I can hear the Winter wind 
and you’re not here 
Spring’s comin’ no time soon 

This was the time 
when you were mine 
when we walked beneath 
the deep December moon 
oh yes this was the time 
now I'm haunted by her shine 
and I’m dreamin’ into 
the deep December moon 

December moon 
mmm hmmm 
December moon 
December moon 
mmm hmmm hmmm mmm  
December moon 
mmm hmmm hmmm mmm
December moon

“Grayson Hugh is an American original, a singer-songwriter of soulful rhythm and rough-sweet blues.  He is the uncompromising truth in a fake-it-till-you-make-it world.” - Leonard Pitts Jr., Winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary, Miami Herald, January 9, 2019
"Grayson Hugh has been there and is back again. His story - our story - has to be heard" - Robert Doerschuk, CMAWorld.com, May 10, 2010.
"Hugh's piano playing is a veritable cyclone of soul, drawing its energy from such diverse regions as the swampland funk of Professor Longhair, the testifying soul of Ray Charles, with rhythms of African drumming and American bluegrass thrown in the mix." - Alt. Country, August, 2010 (Belgium)
