about

Ever have to tell a friend that her girlfriend is the worst? I wrote this song as part of a (remote) pandemic summer songwriting club called Distractunes, where my friends and I would pull a prompt from a hat, then write a song using it, and perform it live on FB.

The prompt for this song was "write a song that's a phone call." It's based on a real conversation I had with Freya at Carpé Vino while we were all wined up one night, just moments before the pandemic shut down NYC.

It's important to tell your best mate when you see their partner's red flags. Don't be a coward, be a friend.

lyrics

Hello?
It was me, I've been looking for you
I've been trying to get ahold of you all day
I just wanted to make sure that you're ok

Because I haven't seen you in a while
And I know you're going through it always
And I know the one you have isn't the one who will keep you safe
She's too caught up in herself to see your pain

I'm only telling you this 'cause I love you
And your happiness is at stake
And I promised I'd let you know
If the love she had seems fake
I didn't wanna text you in case she took your phone again in a rage

Hello?
It was me, I've been looking for you
And I know you're mad I said all this today
I just want you to be happy, okay?

Front to back, the music is catchy, powerful, rocking, and raw, and go hand-in-hand with Iona's lyrics which could only be described with the same words. Brilliant! tommytulip
