How are you, my dear old friend? An intriguing question that haunted me for weeks and led to this wonderful soul ballad. Lucas was directly connected to my composition and said everything, I couldn't express in words. Reach out to your friends in these difficult times.

lyrics

Looking through the window pane
Just another day of rain
Bringing me down all over again

Then I remember stumbling home
Laughing at your jokes
Suddenly those clouds seem miles away

How are you, my dear old friend?
Called to bother you again
With stories you’ve heard
Ten thousand times

How are you, my dear old friend?
There may be lonely days ahead
But if you need me,
I’ll be right by your side

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

There are days we wake up tired
From visions of a world on fire
Hope seems lost in skies of grey

We don’t have to take a walk
Don’t even have to talk
Just savor the stillness of the day

How are you, my dear old friend?
Called to bother you again
With stories you’ve heard
Ten thousand times

How are you, my dear old friend?
There may be lonely days ahead
But if you need me,
I’ll be right by your side
Right by your side

The world can be a dreary place
Think of all the time that we waste
Trying to get by on our own

But I know in the end
We can count on our true friends
To help us carry our heaviest loads

How are you, my dear old friend?
Called to bother you again
With stories you’ve heard
Ten thousand times

How are you, my dear old friend?
If there'll be lonesome days ahead
You know that I'll be there
Right by your side

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
