Parole e musica di Patricia J. Griffin
Nell’album intitolato “American Kid”

“The American Kid album deals with death in a number of ways. This song tells the story of a young soldier who is sent to fight in Iraq. He makes it back to America, but is traumatized by what he saw there.
Griffin explained the song's backstory to The Daily Telegraph: "There was a marine who had returned home from Iraq to Austin, Texas, where I live," she said.

Sandinista

Sandinista
E' il brano che chiude l'album "Third World Warrior" del 1990.

"Sandinista...
La libertad en tus ojos
El amor caliente en tu corazón
Son fuerzas mas poderosas
Que las armas de la guerra..."


This song was written to declare support for Nicaraguan rebels of the same name, and it’s a great example of Kris’ more political work. Patty Griffin recorded a beautiful version for a 2006 tribute record.
