Look at that, the first #MusicMonday since chaos stormed my life hardcore. This song, “Asking for a Friend” by Annabel Jones, stumbled upon me during the insanity and it struck me because it seemed to ring so true to me in that state (after you read the lyrics you won’t be surprised why). Not to mention it’s beautiful, and just her and a piano which is just so perfect with her clear voice. Enjoy, lovelies.
Lyrics
How are you happy?
I’m asking for a friend.
Smiling and laughing, even when you’re feeling bad…
How do you stay clear?
I’m asking for a friend.
Even when you’re here, you’re somewhere else instead.
When every day is agony, it’s hard
to find somewhere where you can still belong.
Summer almost came but you left us.
Things were really bad, things got pretty tough.
Trouble, trouble followed you,
sadness, sadness swallowed you.
Call to the dark, it was broke from the start,
love won’t fix that part.
How can you find sleep?
I’m asking for a friend.
Quiet, still, and deep, it was simpler back then.
How do you stay close?
I’m asking for a friend.
Stay up, sweet recalls,
maybe you’re better off like that.
When every day is agony, it’s hard
to find somewhere where you can still belong.
Summer almost came but you left us.
Things were really bad, things got pretty tough.
Trouble, trouble followed you,
sadness, sadness swallowed you.
Call to the dark, it was broke from the start,
love won’t fix that part.
Love won’t fix that part.
I’m asking for a friend…
