Video: JEFF SPEC // I’ve Been Trying

…through since the Sneakerboxxx record. I think this song is one that most people will be able to relate to, and that I kept it vulnerable without holding too much back. The video is one shot and one take, shot by Jenkin Au from Justalilhype.com, and is meant to reflect the overall vulnerability of the song.
