Griffin House Releases “Paris Calling” From Upcoming Album
Griffin House
Nashville singer-songwriter Griffin House has released a song titled “Paris Calling” to show his support after terrorist attacks in Paris. House studied in Paris as a college student and wrote the new song about living in Nashville, but dreaming about going back to France.
“For me, Paris will always be a place that can be described by three words: magical, surreal, and enchanting. My heart is in love there – in love with life itself. I celebrated the completion of my album with a return this summer to my favorite city on Earth,” says House. “I was so saddened by this awful tragedy and the suffering it has brought to such a beautiful city and their beautiful people. I send this song out to the people of Paris, who I know will not let this darkness get in the way of the joyous life that abounds in the City of Light.”
Griffin will donate all proceeds from the sale of the single “Paris Calling” through the end of the year to Secours Populaire, a non-profit organization that aims to fight against poverty and exclusion in France and throughout the world. House’s album, So On and So Forth, will be released on March 4.
