Taste Test: Martin Kerr goes for ‘A Long Drive’
The singer-songwriter’s latest is a breezy, soothing anthem.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Martin Kerr‘s “A Long Drive” is perfectly made for long excursions down the coast or out into the countryside. Its jaunty exterior warms the soul, with handclaps and other percussion throbbing in the background. Piano twinkles and a sense of calm descends around you. “You’ve been waiting a long time to get out in the sunshine / And we only get one chance / No rehearsal for this dance,” sings Kerr. The melody carries you away, like a jetstream swooping down from the north. Sometimes, you just need those feel-good songs to get you through her day, week, month, or even year. May all your worries melt away by the song’s soothing end.
