Martin got her start singing opera while attending Eastern Illinois University in the late '90s. Her father was a respected professor in the music department, and naturally Martin followed his footsteps. She began playing piano when she was a little girl and her childhood was surrounded by music.
While attending school, Martin experienced "real life," from living with her goth roommate and dealing with typical college-like drama to the tragic suicides of two close friends. Martin turned to music for solace. She desperately wanted to make music into a career; therefore, a whirlwind move to Los Angeles seemed like the right thing to do.
Martin eventually made a record, One Girl Army, with producer Tom Rothrock (Badly Drawn Boy, Beck, Elliott Smith), but it was never released. Before 2002 came to a close, Martin got her own studio and recorded a new batch of songs with Ken Andrews (Air, Pete Yorn). The melodic dreamscapes of In Parentheses arrived in August 2003 and Martin's bright voice drew comparisons to Fiona Apple and Kate Bush. Dates with Howie Day and Damien Rice also coincided with the release of the EP.
On Your Shore followed in 2004. Unfortunately, Martin's relationship with RCA proved creatively trying as the singer/songwriter continued writing and recording new material. A decision to leave the major label in 2005 allowed Martin to accomplish her creative goals, thus reconnecting with Test-Drive Records to issue the Veins and Darkest Hour EPs before the year's end. Additional support dates around North American followed into the fall, and Martin rounded out the Veins tour with her first DVD recording, the limited-edition Something Like a DVD.
She also married her long-time collaborator and co-producer, Ken Andrews (Pete Yorn, Year of the Rabbit, Failure), in the midst of recording her second album, Stromata. The album arrived on Martin and Andrews' own Dinosaur Fight label in September 2006.
In 2009, Martin released the instrumental album Piano Trees, a collection of improvised piano songs.
In 2011, Martin released her album, Dancing on Needles.
In 2014, Martin released Water Breaks Stone.
On October 5, 2018, Martin released the second of her instrumental piano albums (after Piano Trees), entitled Clear Blue Sky. The following year, in 2019, two more albums in a similar vein were released: Monotonous Night on March 8 and Dawn on December 27.

Keep Me In Your Pocket
Charlotte Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's funny how the intuition stabs you
I'm headfirst diving off the plank
Good Morning.
I'm green and mean and have a thousand eyes.
One small
Thin line is easy to erase all.
Lights off.
Better lock the door and not think twice.
Push me deep into your English Channel.
Your palm sweat- it isn't all that I can handle.
I love you, it is an understatement-natural.
Please babeee, keep keep me in your pocket.
All bets off
You kept your bitches in my
Sweet spot
And I got dibs and stitches
So I feel hot
You burn those hallmark cards but
Keep my words
I want wanna be your cigarette
I want wanna be your black jack best
I want wanna be that sweater
It won't make this seem much better
Sink your
Teeth into the taste of me and
Squeeze hard
Till we can feel me splitting and you
Want more
And I want more you know I want it more.
Push me deep into your English channel
Your palm sweat-it isn't all that I can handle
I love you. We have an understanding-natural.
Please baby keep me in your pocket
I want wanna be your cigarette
I want wanna be your blackjack best
I want wanna be that sweater
"Keep Me In Your Pocket" by Charlotte Martin is a song about the conflicting emotions and desires one feels when in love. The lyrics are filled with metaphors and imagery that symbolize love and passion. The opening lines, "Sharp move. It's funny how the intuition stabs you," describe the sudden and unexpected nature of falling in love. The line, "I'm headfirst diving off the plank," could be interpreted as willingly taking the risk of falling in love despite the unknown outcome. The line, "I'm green and mean and have a thousand eyes," could symbolize feeling young, inexperienced, and overwhelmed by the depth of emotions felt in a new relationship.
The chorus, "Push me deep into your English Channel. Your palm sweat- it isn't all that I can handle. I love you, it is an understatement-natural. Please babeee, keep keep me in your pocket," further reinforces the idea of wanting to be held closely and kept safe by someone. The phrase "push me deep into your English Channel" could symbolize the desire to be completely immersed in the love of another. The following lines, "Your palm sweat- it isn't all that I can handle. I love you, it is an understatement-natural," convey the intensity of a love that is difficult to put into words. The repeated phrase "keep me in your pocket" implies a desire to be kept close and protected.
The second verse and chorus continue to describe the strong desire and passion of being in love. The lines "I want to be your cigarette, I want to be your blackjack best, I want to be that sweater" all convey the idea of wanting to be intimately close to another person. The closing lines, "Till we can feel me splitting and you want more. And I want more you know I want it more," signify the never-ending hunger for more love and deeper connection.

Brings back SO MANY memories. I'm gunna tear up! I played this on PS2, Sims 2 Castaway. I ALWAYS took the radio and turned it on to play this song when my sim was fishing and sleeping.

Really surprised people don't like the lyrics. They don't form a simple narrative or story, true, but they are a rich verbal description of sensuality + sexuality.

Do you know what she says in the background? Sounds like "Don't look the storm into the eye grab on my flesh wrestle your mind"
