Taste Test: Jeff Crosby looks for home beneath the glow of the ‘Northstar’
The Nashville troubadour seeks to find love and a home out on the road.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Winter brings out a cabin fever so strong all we long to do is break free. Perhaps, we could make a beeline for the coast where sandy coastlines rub against the ocean’s bubbly kiss. Or maybe venturing into the mountains might unlock the reinvigoration we desire. Nashville musician Jeff Crosby hits the open road on a whim, tugging a potential new lover along, with a song called “Northstar,” which bares a particular melancholy that sticks to the heartstrings, too. “These city lights bury the North Star,” he waxes heavy, lamenting the trouble with the starry and bright cityscape. There’s no witnessing nature’s lustrous beauty when all you can see is synthetic orbs piercing the otherwise dark waters of the heavens. “I could look past the rubble / Just give me a chance,” he sings. The relationship quickly dissipates, and heartrending disappoint punctuates his existential trip. And so is life.
“Northstar” is the title cut to Crosby’s new album, out everywhere April 24.
