My name is Eelke. I'm a singer, songwriter and musician from The Netherlands. Check out my videos and let me know what you think!
Old Friend is the title track for my 2016 EP. It might be the oldest song on it too. That or Happiness, I can't remember. It's a song about losing touch with someone. We recorded it in two parts. First we did the part with the vocals, we recorded acoustic guitar and vocals live. After that we recorded the instrumental part, with added bass and drums. Then we did all overdubs to make it into a whole.
Lyrics
From time to time I see you passing by
I don't know if you see me too
You never show the signs
But you're an old friend of mine
You're already an old friend of mine
We run into each other every now and then
There's always something else to do
But yeah, we'll call to meet again
Old friend
You're already an old friend of mine
Last night I saw some pictures
Shot a couple years ago
The two of us, the place I don't recall
And judging by our looks you'd say
We haven't changed a bit
But there is more than looks
As you and I both know
