about

Bedroom pop artist ‘young friend’ delivers his most intimate and personal performance yet on new track ‘THERAPY’. The track’s guitar and mid-tempo groove give ‘young friend’ breathing room for a cathartic song about analyzing his problems and “reaching out”. The track is his first of 2021, following up three singles last year that attracted attention from Lyrical Lemonade, Ones to Watch and collectively garnered over a million streams on Spotify.

lyrics

it’s like i’m stuck inside my head
forty-five seconds til’ I go
I wish you could see and understand
thirty-five seconds til I,

lose my grip
lose my shit
i’m off the rails again

sleepin’ in
canceled plans
you don’t want to see me like this (uh)

I swear that i’m not always in this state of mind
I missed my therapy session I think i’m doing fine

so this is me reaching out
I don’t got a way with words
to tell my friends I need help
cause I think i’m getting worse
I didn’t wanna do this but
this is me reaching out

I know i’m stubborn and I hate it
I just want to be the favourite
i’m so crazy and i’m caving in (yea)

yea I get quiet
always hiding
stay inside what’s in my mind
but i’ve been trying to say that shit

so this is me reaching out
I don’t got a way with words
to tell my friends I need help
cause I think i’m getting worse
I didn’t wanna do this but
this is me reaching out

things feel different
back on my shit again
I almost hit the fan (hit the fan x2)

sometimes you’re in too deep
and you can hardly see
but I caught my second wind (second wind x2)

so this is me reaching out
I don’t got a way with words
to tell my friends I need help
but I think i’m getting worse
