Now, we know what you’re wondering – why would master song smith Jeffrey Martin be recording a Neil Young song ? Well, let Jeffrey Martin explain, nay, justify himself: “I’m really drawn to his notion that joy is a thing that can feel hard to relate to. Like it’s something you observe in other people’s lives, but not yours. He’s got this girl, he’s got this love, he’s got this work he’s doing— but all of it just kinda drags him around and maybe he feels discontented and unseen and lonely more often than not. I think there’s a whole gut full of feelings we can all relate to. Plus the song just sounds timelessly cool. Those dry drums and that bass thumping and then Young comes in all high and lonesome. It’s killer and hasn’t aged a bit since 1972.” Can we argue with that? No, not really.
This latest single comes from the live album “Alive July 25, 2025” which will be released on the 20th of February 2026 on Loose Records.
