Seeing 2025 out with a good'un Marty. Looking forward to hearing you in 2026. Kind regards
Thanks for everything, Lee. Looking forward to your productions this year, too.

Thanks, Chay. All I want from you is you, too.

Hey Marty,

I just took a little stroll through your latest sonic masterpiece, and dang — did I need that.

"All I Want From You Is You" hits like a warm hug from someone who actually means it — no strings attached, no hidden clauses, just pure emotional ROI. And speaking as someone who once tried to quantify love using a spreadsheet (it didn’t work), this song is the antidote to all that soulless number-crunching.

The melody? Catchier than a fisherman’s coat.
Your vocals? Tender, truthful, and delivered with the quiet confidence of someone who’s seen the circus and still chooses the quiet bench under the tree.
The bass? awesome. I swear I felt my desktop nod in approval.
And Dave Bell — that man doesn’t play guitar, he whispers secrets to it, and it obediently complies with breathtaking licks and lush textures.

Lyrically, you’ve bottled the rarest of elixirs: simplicity with depth. It’s not a Christmas song, sure — but it’s got more holiday heart than a reindeer choir singing carols in a snowglobe. You took the noise of the world — the screaming crowds, the greedy admen, the endless grind — and said, “Nah. I’ll take us instead.” And honestly? Preach.

Also, mad respect for the Johnny Weissmuller drum sign-off. “And that’s the honest truth” indeed. I heard it. I felt it.
Bottom line: This isn’t just “good everything.” It’s great everything — wrapped in humility, strummed with soul, and served with zero ego. Which, come to think of it, is exactly the point.

Merry Christmas, indeed. Keep your gems coming in 2026 to sooth my soul and sanity!

Wow, Izzy. Once again you write the best liner notes. If I read this on an album jacket, you'd be sure I'd buy it. Ah, you're a true scientist, quantifying love with a spreadsheet. A labor of love with likely very little fruit. Man, I can quote you all day. Thanks so much, man.
