Have you ever composed a toast for a wedding you were never invited to? What about turning that toast into a song? Because that is exactly what "Best Friend's Girl" turned out to be: a testament to the fifth (and final) stage of heartbreak - acceptance; the final milestone on one's journey towards moving on and letting go. 

To an extent, this song is my idea of would happen if Jason Mraz did a cover of one of Adele's songs (maybe even "Someone like you"). From little sound effects of a vinyl record to the intricately intertwined harmonies (especially in the final chorus), it's a bold pop creation. The song is also bittersweet in how it shifts its tone throughout the arrangement, while allowing the emanating levity serve as a hallmark to its theme of embracing the reality and welcoming the new chapter that is about to open.

"Best Friend's Girl" is the fifth and final song from my first EP - "Stages of Heartbreak", as well as the final song of separately compiled "The Loml Trilogy".

Ab/G# BPM87 Lyrics:

I hope that she knows to give him praise 
And when he comes from work she locks him in an embrace 
I hope that she holds him when he needs to cry
And never shuts him out or hangs him out to dry

My best friend’s girl, please love him how I couldn’t 
Please let him feel that he’s already enough
My best friend’s girl, please give him what I wouldn’t 
Please mend his bleeding heart with your love

I hope that with her he doesn’t need to hide
And that he smiles and laughs a lot with her by his side
I hope that with her he feels attractive, safe, and sure
And when he tells her “yes, I do” his happiness is secured 

My best friend’s girl, please love him how I couldn’t 
Please let him feel that he’s already enough
My best friend’s girl, please give him what I wouldn’t 
Please mend his bleeding heart with your love

I hope that you never make him second guess himself 
And that you like the things he does or at least take interest
I hope you are caring and your heart is a kind bliss
I hope you’re at least half as wonderful as he is 

My best friend’s girl, please love him how I couldn’t 
Please, please, please…

My best friend’s girl, please love him how I couldn’t 
Please let him feel that he’s already enough
My best friend’s girl, please give him what I wouldn’t 
Please mend his bleeding heart with your love

My best friend’s girl

✏️ Lyrics
Everything that you do,
Everything that you do, makes me feel alive

The way that you move,
The way that you move, let you run the night

Don't know the time,  
I'm letting go
I wanna find,  
someone to love. 
 I feel alive,
 I think you know, 
We're getting down, we're getting low

Everything that you do,
Everything that you do, makes me feel alive

The way that you move,
The way that you move, let you run the night

Don't know the time, 
I'm letting go
 I wanna find,  someone to love. 
 I feel alive, 
I think you know, 
We're getting down, we're getting low

Bensley & Voicians - Letting Go

Many of us were raised by parents that drank away or hid their problems. "What would the neighbors think" was a phrase often used in my household.   We pretended everything was fine outside of the house.  This song talks about repeated behaviors, ie marrying someone abusive or an alcoholic after being raised by someone similar.  I hope this song lets you know that it's ok to break that cycle.  You can talk about it and it will be ok.

What Would The Neighbors Think

Make Your Move

Not a song just something to get of my chest

Fear And Loathing

یہ گانے کے بول ایک ایسے شخص کی کہانی بیان کرتے ہیں جو خاموشی اور غم میں پھنسا ہوا ہے، اور یادوں کے بوجھ تلے دبا ہوا محسوس کرتا ہے۔ اس کے باوجود، وہ اپنے اندر ایک ردھم محسوس کرتا ہے، جو آگے بڑھنے کی خواہش کی علامت ہے۔

Urdu ‎مجھے دوبارہ رقص کرنے میں مدد کرو ‎Help Me Dance Again

08/11/ 24 The Afternoon Beat  : the art of release – letting go to make space with Fehms Khan

Join me for a meditation on being with the harvest time, the season of reaping and gathering. Autumn is when we preserve and store what we've made, to sustain us in the coming seasons of life. As artists, it can be especially fruitful to survey the joys and fruitions, sadnesses and setbacks of the recent past, and to consider how they all, in their way, have been marvelous for what they've brought in raw feeling and raw material for our creativity. By attuning to nature's cycles, we connect with our own authentic and resplendent nature.

I live unconventionally in art and love. Born in Germany and raised in the US, I once left a thriving Fortune 500 job when the call to performance came, have since led a prosperous career as singer, actress and voice-over artist based in New York City, and stay married to my college sweetheart. My meditation practice began in India in 2011 during a teaching residency. Through my writing, workshops and private study, I lead a variety of life artists in fulfilling their creative calling. I love using my voice to guide the Artist's heart. Come over to my website for one-on-one guidance, workshops, subscriptions and events in support of the Artist on the creative path.  I work deeply with these various meditation themes in my private coaching and workshops with people from many walks of life and different time zones.
