She Drives Me Crazy
by Fine Young Cannibals

Lyrics:
I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do - don't seem real
Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're running out of time
Won't you ever set me free?
This waiting 'round's killing me
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

I can't get any rest
People say I'm obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do

He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
I won't make it on my own
No one likes to be alone
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

He drives me Crazy

He Drives Me Crazy

Black It Out

This song is a powerful country anthem that takes a stand against the unrealistic standards women face, especially on social media, as they age. The lyrics speak directly to the pressures of being judged and criticized, while reinforcing the strength and independence of women who refuse to be defined by others’ expectations. An unapologetic declaration of self-worth and resilience, the bright country pop feel is driven by a powerful drum track and guitar parts, carefully building with the intensity as the song unfolds. The mood shifts in the bridge, softening with the inclusion of strings and shimmering synths, offering a vulnerable, reflective moment before building back into a triumphant power ballad, leaving listeners with a sense of victory and pride. This is a song that champions female empowerment, resilience, and the refusal to conform to society's narrow view of beauty and success.

To Grow Old

“January Eleven” was composed on January 11, 2025, while devastating fires were raging near the Los Angeles area. On that day, a displaced family found refuge in my home, their spirits unwavering despite uncertain circumstances. Their optimism stood in stark contrast to the looming threat of the flames, reminding me how quickly our comforts can slip away. This neoclassical solo piano piece channels the turmoil into a soothing, reflective sound, evoking both the fragility of our possessions and the strength of a community that unites in times of crisis. It’s a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of compassion.

Don't Say Goodbye

This song was written at a time in my life when I was going through allot. I was having one of the days where my memories from the past was causing me to feel down in myself and my life.

My Fairytale

I wrote this song for my wife over 20yrs ago before we reconnected. We were living states away from each other but spoke on the phone every night for months until I made the decision to finally move out to where she lived to start a new life together. The song describes the feelings I was going through during that time before reconnecting with her.

In My Mind


🌙 Canción de cuna suave y mágica que ayuda a los padres a dormir a sus pequeños. En esta dulce aventura, el niño es un pequeño capitán y su cama es un barco que navega hacia el mundo de los sueños. 🚢✨


Navegar

Lucy Fair’s “Hellfire” doesn’t believe in happy endings — but it offers redemption. A cinematic blend of strings, harmonium, and a dark beat ignites the pain of a missed goodbye. The saddest song of the summer.

HELLFIRE

This song was written years ago at a time in my life when I was tired of holding on to the self doubt I had about myself or the outside “Noise” from people who didn’t believe in me. It was a message to myself of finally letting go of people’s opinions. It also expressed how I was reflecting on myself and how I just “didn’t care anymore”. I was just wanting to let it all go.

Long Time

Jeremy Ryan Martin is a solo rock artist with a sound forged through raw emotion, real-life struggle, and years of hands-on experience in the underground music scene. His passion for music began at 13, when he formed his first band with middle school friends in the early ’90s. By 17, he was already writing original songs and fronting local rock groups, honing his voice and presence on stage.

Throughout his 20s and 30s, Jeremy played in several rock-driven projects, spending countless hours in recording studios learning the craft of mixing and production from seasoned audio engineers and musicians. A self-taught songwriter shaped by hardship, he grew up with a single mom and younger brother, often turning to his guitar as a way to cope and make sense of life.

Jeremy draws inspiration from the gritty rock legends he grew up on—Metallica, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Candlebox, and other icons of the late ’80s and early ’90s. While those influences echo through his music, it’s his unique voice and deeply personal songwriting that set him apart. Every track he creates is a reflection of resilience, struggle, and healing.

“I love to play my guitar and write songs, but there’s no better feeling than seeing someone else connect with what I’ve created.” – Jeremy Ryan Martin
