Missed Connections
Missed Connections was a conceptual, collaborative songwriting project between Olivia Rafferty and Hannah Fredsgaard-Jones, inspired by Craigslist Classifieds.
I met Oxford-based Danish songwriter Hannah at Findlay Napier and Boo Hewerdine’s Bird on a Wire songwriting workshop in March 2021. After the course ended, we did a lyric swap exercise, collaboratively writing songs based on Craigslist classifieds. For each song, one person wrote the lyrics and the other wrote the melody. This small exercise resulted in two songs which had such charm, that we decided to keep writing and start a larger project. “Missed Connections” is the result. From April - June 2021, we wrote two songs a week, based off of posts from Best of Craigslist.
