hey friends, here's a lil' song called new friends. some of u may recognise it from a voice memo I posted earlier this month!


it's a song I started in London & finished on a day off tour in Amarillo, TX. all the hotel rooms were full of sleeping band and crew members, so the only place I could record was on the tour bus.. hence you'll hear the hum of the tour bus engine on there!


this song has the kind of brutal (& uncomfortable) honesty that  I love in other songs.. I really love it & it was cathartic to write.. but I'm on the fence about releasing it officially. we'll see. still mulling it over.. but perhaps it has a place on the EP I've been piecing together..


as always, I welcome your thoughts! thanks for sticking with me secret demo club, I know I'm a little quieter on here when I'm on the road but always thinking of u guys & how grateful I am for your support!


to my top tier patrons- I haven't forgotten about your September bonus demo, it'll just be a couple days late this time. :)


luv u!

I agree with ^^ Joshua, it really feels like you're next to me and started playing this. The finger picking whisked me away, such a lovely autumn rebirth vibe.

i love it so much. it's beautifully executed and illustrates perfectly that thing you told us about wanting to be more raw and use less metaphors a while ago! it's so great. i came here almost sure that 'don't fall in love with a musician' was the way to go with the ep but honestly i changed my mind now lol

I've been listening to this so much. All day I can't seem to get it out of my head. Even walking between classes I'll slip out my earbuds to give it another listen. I don't really know how to describe the feeling of this song. It reminds me of late night campfires when the flames have burnt low. When you hold a cup of tea in both hands and just breathe in the steam. Getting up early in the morning and wandering out alone to see the sunrise. Cold weather and sweaters. Blankets wrapped around shoulders. Beautiful.

Keep coming back to this song and it breaks my heart every time, ffs Orla what are you doing to me?! Can’t wait to hear it on tour this week, there will definitely be tears. Thanks for writing this song exactly when I needed it <33
