Jack Tempchin, longtime collaborator and friend of the Eagles‘ Glenn Frey, is debuting a new video for “Privacy,” a track on his Peaceful Easy Feeling: The Songs of Jack Tempchin album, available Friday (Aug. 25). “Privacy” was the final song Tempchin and Frey wrote together, though it was never recorded prior to the sessions for this album.

“Glenn and I wrote this song in 2002, back when we both first became concerned about the issue of privacy,” Tempchin tells Billboard. “To me, it’s become one of the main issues of our time, but most people haven’t woken up to it yet. This song and video illustrate that point in a playful and humorous way.”

“Well they can see my face from up in outerspace/Man, the eye in the sky knows when I’m getting high/I want my privacy,” he sings in “Privacy.”

Peaceful Easy Feeling: The Songs of Jack Tempchin, released by Blue Elan Records, is an album created in tribute to the late Frey. It features the songwriter’s own versions of a dozen popular tracks, as well as previously unreleased material.
