This song is dedicated to Linzy. It was her vision and idea. And it was literally off the top of her head. On an otherwise dull afternoon, she spun a story on the phone about an LA experience involving a visit to Cartier, Nobu and how it would have to happen on a more low-key Thursday afternoon because it wouldn’t be for the show or a flex. It would just be what you do. I was there. It played like a film in my head and it made me… wait for it… happy. As someone who battles depression and anxiety it was a moment that lifted me and really stuck. What’s more, we named our umbrella LLC Thursdays in LA. But that’s a whole other story.
So, love, love, loved putting this together based on that inspiration. I could not -nor ever will- shake the imagery or the phrase. And, on a deeper level it reminded me of the possibilities in life. The next morning the universe started sending elements and pieces to stitch together as a song. Started at over 7 minutes long. But don’t worry the edit is now down to 3:30 haha. Enjoy!

Thursday in LA Lyrics
what’s in your pocket
what’s on your mind
ask you a question
what will we find
what’s in your eyes now
where do we go
you’ve got direction
i need to know
how did we get here
bathed in afternoon light
you’re painting a picture
on rodeo drive
don’t know if i should guess
at all you’re planning to say
cause you’re lost in the moment
this thursday in la
don’t know if i can guess
at anything you’re gonna say
cause we’re lost in the moment
this thursday in la
distracted by the lights
can you still show me the way
want to get lost in time
on a thursday in la
nobu, the sun, your face
warm santa monica breeze
flashing baignoire cartier watch
immersed in the la scene
top down mulholland drive and
the sun filters thru your hair
not leaving this behind
as we take in the la air
