Brooks John Martin Gets Happily Lost in ‘Do’
There are songs that seem to arrive with their shoelaces tied neatly together, marching from verse to chorus and back again with a reassuring sense of direction. Then there are songs like Brooks John Martin’s “Do”, which appears to have taken a wrong turning somewhere, discovered something rather interesting down the road and decided to stay there for a while. It is a strange, funny, surprisingly joyful little universe, built from shifting moods, surreal associations and the kind of logic that makes perfect sense when you stop trying to make sense of it.
‘Do’ is the first single and video from Martin’s forthcoming album War All The Time, and it finds the Florida artist exploring the emotional territory between breakdowns, breakthroughs and all the peculiar places in between. Martin describes the song as “non-linear Lewis Carroll nonsense”, which is probably a more useful description than anything involving the phrase ‘traditional songwriting structure’. There is a stream-of-consciousness quality to the way the track moves, with ideas and feelings appearing, disappearing and colliding rather than lining up obediently to tell us a story.
