		<title>Clyfford Still</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This instrumental composition, Clyfford Still, was used in the documentary film &#8220;The Next American Dream&#8221; and a few other places.  I started writing this song on my birthday.  It was built around the piano line that sort of mimicked the sound of my dog, walking across the wooden floor above my head.  He was 14 [...]]]></description>
