A song for Bruce # Springsteen but really, a song for his fans who will queue for hours in the rain to see the Boss & the E-Street Band perform live - just like me...

Lyrics:
Standing in the rain just to hear you play tonight. Time is passing slowly, it's gonna be alright. I know it will be worth it, cause it's you I really worship. Minute's ticking by, got my ticket I will try.

Singing in the rain to keep dancing in the dark. Racing down the streets with a hungry heart. Your voice is gripping thousands, your band is solid gold. 

Never in a million years would I have imagined that you'd walk right up to me, that you’d sing with me. Let me put my arms around you whilst you look me in the eye, a gentle touch and I hold on for a while…

You create these moments, so special every time. Touching hearts of people, like mine. Like you really see me. A treasure forever - I will never forget. It's lifting me up every time I look back, every time I feel sad…

Standing in the cold like so many other souls. Bonding over time spent waiting in line. To hear you play tonight in the blinding lights. 

Never in a million years would I have imagined that you’d walk right up to me, that you'd sing with me. Let me put my arms around you whilst you look me in the eye. A gentle touch and I hold on for a while.

You create these moments, so special every time. Touching hearts of people, like mine. Like you really see me. A treasure forever, I will never forget. It's lifting me up, every time I look back, every time I feel down, down, down…

I don't mind the rain. I ain't on a downbound train.
Oh I've been working all week long. This is where I belong: 

Standing in the rain just to hear you play tonight. Time is passing slowly, it's gonna be alright. 

You create these moments, so special every time. Touching hearts of people, like mine. Like you really see me. A treasure forever, I will never forget. It’s lifting me up every time I look back. Every time I feel sad…


Song for Bruce

Innocent Young Mind

Your Sweet Nature

Once or twice

Your turn to dance

Have you ever...?

Your turn to dance (remastered)

Good days

Smile through the chaos

Far from anywhere

Acoustic song, written and performed by Melanie (Mel) Griffith

Tricky Words

Mostly home recordings with harmonica, keyboard and guitar solos entirely improvised; also tend to do my own backing vocals. All songs are either reminiscent of my backpacking days or inspired by married life & raising sweet natured, amazing children. Best endured using headphones!

I grew up listening to records appreciating every single instrument on a track and every band member's own sprinkling of magic - not so much the lyrics however, as I spoke little English back then. 

It is thanks to the Boss, Mr Springsteen and a video of Human Touch on MTV/VH1 that I decided to become a musician. I was given a guitar by our neighbours, taught myself to play and started creating my own songs straight away.

I love going to concerts, small venues in particular and have very fond memories of busking whilst travelling. Music and especially being creative do wonders for your mental health.!!!
