Use a friend

Lyrics

What’s going on in this heart of mine? It’s talking to me, trying to get me on the line

Sometimes it’s strange in the land of men I know I could use a friend

I know a lot of people far from here I love them all I hold them dear

I need someone to call regularly Tries to expand and understand me

expand and understand - we can do that. I need that too.

I really love this, both lyrically and musically! I love minimalism. The soft, warm voice reminds me of my own late-night recordings, because inspiration often strikes when everything is quiet. I sang and played as softly as possible so as not to wake my partner or my daughters. :-D

Yeah, I like to do that too! A little trick that I use is, I put my phone in the saddle of my guitar so that it’s right underneath my mouth and on top of the guitar. That’s how I record all of these songs.

Beautiful song about the core of being a human. In these times it can be hard to find that friend that we all need, many seems to forget that the phone just wont do it.

Absolutely great. It has a meditative, voice in your head feel. A real sense of interiority! Musically so sparse but that's exactly right. This is 3am stuff. Beautiful recording and musicianship too. And the voice is hypnotic.
