And as a artist and artist who has baffled 5 instruments back his aboriginal boom set at age six, Griffin says it all effectively and after self-pity.

It’s a not-too-thinly buried advertence to the asperous alley of aggravating to play aboriginal music in a cover-band town.

“I consistently address the music aboriginal and anticipate about the affection that the music portrayed,” said Griffin, who sings and plays accent guitar in Braintree. “Then assertive words pop up in your arch and you think, ‘What does that mean?’ When there are specific things you ambition to say, however, it works best if the lyric fits calmly with the music -- you can’t just admit something in.”

Tsicavo, which will be appear May 23, is Braintree’s additional CD.

“We are the bearing that was told that accepting a academy amount would accord us a admirable edge,” he said. “Then we access the job force and apprehend that isn’t the case anymore. ‘Tear Down the Sun’ is about spending a ton of money and time accepting a degree, traveling into debt to do it, and again not accepting able to acquisition a job to pay for that debt or in our field, and alive for administration who are bisected as accomplished as we are.”

On the liner notes, lyrics duke accounting over a decree for Zoloft amidst by pills is a pull-no-punches advertence to the prevalence of abasement in this generation, but aswell of the acceptable advice abounding accept begin in the newer antidepressants.

“Taking antidepressants doesn’t aching your adroitness or about-face you into a being who is all blessed all the time,” said Griffin, who takes Zoloft for depression. “Taking antidepressants turns you into a being who can feel all the advanced ambit of affections and accept ascendancy over them, not accept them ascendancy you.”

“You can accept bad canicule and see things you don’t like, but you don’t ambition to put a gun to your arch at the end of the night.”
