Everything But The Girl is a group that was hugely active in the ’80s.

In this song, their signature delicate female vocals and gently dreamy sound come together beautifully.

It sings about everyone coming together as one, creating solidarity, and how that leads to happiness.

It’s a masterpiece and a song that reflects its era.

Hip-hop groups actually have a lot of songs about friendship.

Because they have a strong sense of territory and camaraderie, friendship is the most important thing to them.

If you listen to this song with that background in mind, it takes on a different meaning.

It might also be nice to reach out to an old friend.
