New Life

I fell in love with Joy Electric over a decade ago. There was just something about buzzing, whirring synthesizers and melancholic melodies that did it for me. The few friends I’ve shared it with over the years never understood my devotion to what seems like esoteric electronic music, but Ronnie Martin’s saccharine synthpop taught me to take melody seriously.

Both prolific and obscure, Martin never settled on one sound; every album was an experiment with textures and timbres. One song, however, is for me the indubitable flagship of his singular songwriting. “The Boy Who Never Forgot” is at once hook-laden yet reserved, easygoing yet wistful—the type of configuration I aim for in every song I write. My cover of this gem serves as a tribute to the synthpop wizardry of Joy Electric. As you listen, I hope you feel just a little bit of that magic that inspired me as a teen.

lyrics:

drinking more than i should
a bottle with my good friend
i want to forget of
all the things that you said
but all i can think about
is the time that you said
we'd keep our kid from looking in the sun
how you'd hold me if i tried to run

I've fallen on my knees
but it doesn't hurt too bad
I'll use it as an excuse
to cry about the month that i had
but I'm trying to be strong
for my mother and my sister
who have been there for me
before and after he
got tangled in my afternoon
and cut loose as soon as he could

All To Myself
