Martin Grech - Open Heart Zoo

[@stevemuzak8526]

Martin Grech, the most underapriciated musician on this planet. At least Tesseract band notice his talents

[@Grawlixify]

Gunship as well

[@essengeebee]

I’m here because of Tesseract. I would not have heard of Martin without his credit on Hexes.

[@he_is_a_GOOBER_dont_disrespect]

Have you heard alexi murdochi?

[@Baronial10]

I've been searching for the name "Martin Grech" for (literally) the past 9 years. SO glad I finally remembered/found his name. God I love his music. Such an amazing voice.

[@edgeofsingularity]

this made me laugh because i have literally been racking my brain for years to remember this song and find it, eventually came me to me out of the blue last year after about a decade lol.

[@chrisselby3437]

@@edgeofsingularity me too - been spelling it with a 't' and coming up blank! (GreTch!?)

[@TheTaylorfletcher]

This is a brilliant song, by a brilliant musician, I got this cd as soon as I heard the track, and it remains to be one of my favourite tracks of music ever, quite emotional.

[@scenesternineteensixtyfour2182]

I first heard this on a BBC radio show, and I sat in complete silence whilst it was playing. A haunting and beautiful piece.

[@MarcoBallesi]

omg and i've just heard of him. tesseract brought me here.

[@whenweleft9574]

uguale!

An amazing debut album for a young Martin Grech. He's got better with age.

[@nevgilhooly3382]

Same!

[@gitbox]

I put this on repeat for a day atleast once a year

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

Jeez this is such a haunting song. The melody reeks of a disturbed soul. Love it.

[@tewingfield]

Absolute genius. Haunting, powerful, poignant.

[@davyjones2484]

The video is disturbingly beautiful. Paired with his voice, it's breathtaking.

[@jht3fougifh393]

Best description. Agreed.

[@JimmySlacksack]

puzzles me why this song doesnt have a few million views..

[@lynndavy1965]

someones not used it in an advert yet? :-/

[@curvysmallsteen6598]

It was used in a Lexus car ad in the early/mid 2000's. That's where I first heard it. :)

[@mikecreed22]

Yeah this song is super old, but still fucking great. Saw him live doing an acoustic set and it was rather good. I'd only heard this at the time too, and as I recall he didn't play it.

[@blingblingstarmie-5294]

Precocious, prodigal 19 year old invokes Yorke and Buckley to launch the greatest career that never was. - Iai

[@psulux]

At last.I have found it. I first heard this on a car advertisement many years ago. This is an unrivalled modern classical master piece. In 100 years the learners of the future will marvel the genius of this. Today it long ago passed us by. In my opinion.

[@teresadevine6506]

Same ,car advert meant had to find it..

[@harrison6me]

talk about under-appreciated

[@janepine6717]

First heard this in early 2000s as the backdrop to a Lexus car advert. It haunted me back then, but we lost touch... I'm so glad that I have been reunited with it here. Thank you.

[@thegaiastone1]

I'm with you the lexus advert 👍

[@jimbowen2142]

Bmw

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

Yes! Me too. Driving along listening to this. Then they get out to a cacophony. I found a website that listed music used in adverts, that's how I came across it and downloaded it, I think with Napster.

[@teresadevine6506]

Same ,still listening

[@lauralestat]

This song reminds me of 19th century Victorians--dark alleys, Absinthe, and Jack the Ripper (lol as I generalize). The ending is epic! What a great song and most importantly, great artist!

[@wendydimmick]

Loved this for years - amazing that he was only 19 years old when he made this

[@Buelford]

I only heard this recently for the first time and it's probably among the more beautiful songs I've ever listened to. I know your comment just 12 years old but maybe you'll still see this. The song gives me goosebumps for many reasons. How this man never blew up I'll never understand. His guest vocals and Tesseract brought me here.

[@domysadiva]

i love the music!! i love him and am soooo proud to be his cousin!!!

[@echantra9937]

Thanks so much for this upload. I've been searching for it for years, this is the first time I have heard all of it and it has enchanted my soul. Absolutely beautiful...

[@rosiebeattie7578]

Absolutely haunting and truly beautiful.

BLACK SUN ON THE HORIZONNNNNNN

[@jessicamcintosh1842]

Why isn't this famous???

[@musaa.7973]

yea its strange, maybe cause its so beautifully dark.

[@a2swebber]

It was. It was on an advert on British tv

[@nkjnr72]

Lexus car advert in the 90s

[@GayGeisha]

How can you begin to try and say how beautiful this is? Completely divine.

[@betcog]

I am not lying I've had this song in my head for about 6 years on and off. I know it from some advert in the 90s. Its like escaping the gates of hell finding it now. I've spent about 2.5hrs searching for it this evening as I've been humming it the last few days.

[@WCHADWICK]

lexus?

[@annemow]

Yes Lexus ✨

[@imtheotherdave]

This song is great. Nothing like what I'd normally listen to but it's genius.

[@janetwilson972]

What an amazing voice

[@blobertmcblobbin5229]

I can't remember when I first heard this but it got me through my morbid teens and remains to this day, one of my favourite songs of all time. It deserves more than 94,000 views.

I'm pretty sure that no-one remembers much about the car this was used to advertise (Lexus Mk something or other), but this track stays with you for good. Amazing

This is just amazing! Gunship brought me here.

I saw him perform this very song at a local venue in Dublin. It was jaw dropping.

first time i heard this was back on Kerrang like 15 years ago and my first thought was ''wtf is this doing on a rock channel?'' but damn! i was a massive fan of Muse back then and this song grew on me very quickly. right now every hair on my body is on end xD amazing song and amazing artist

Aint heard this for ages! Got the album at home somewhere. Went to see him live in manchester when it first came out. Still blown away by how good it is!

You guys might like the track he apparently co-wrote with Tesseract, Hexes, he has writing credits on most of the songs on that album. He's also collaborating with the new one.

[@theman362]

crap, accidentally marked your comment as spam while trying to reply. d'oh. martin is one of the best artists around now, his music is full of soul, and his vocal melodies are so haunting, especially with this song. andy ross did a VERY good job to work with martin, and its a shame there is not more to hear. i absolutely love the ohz album. its full of soul. about the emo thing:no way, you ever hear a song by an emo band that sounded like this? thought not. this has feeling, emo is for fun :(
