When are you free? I haven’t seen you since last fall. My shift starts at three, and I can’t do August at all. Maybe September, if I can remember the date. I’m the befriender seeking a friend in LA. All of my friends have gone out live their best lives. I’m in my bed by ten or eleven each night. I feel offended. No invite extended to play. When work has ended, I’m seeking a friend in LA. My phone to my ear, it might be a faulty connection. I couldn’t hear a word that you said to me just then. Return to sender. I moved once again yesterday. Write me a letter seeking a friend in LA.

about

This is the third single in “The Old Soul and the Holy Fool,” a song cycle about relationships and self-realization. I’m gradually releasing these songs as singles, documenting my becoming as I record them individually over a period of time.

“Seeking a Friend in LA” was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend who said, “We’re all just looking for a friend in LA.” That, and I really wanted to write a song that made a lyric out of the internet slang, “living their best life.” It was written during the same period as “Tell Me What For,” a period wherein I was wondering why there aren’t more platonic love songs out there.
