[Western Music] Emo Friendship Songs: A roundup of classic tracks that portray heart-stirring bonds (91–100)
Old FriendsEverything But The Girl
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.
I’m not sure if it should be called dream pop, but listening to it now, that’s how it feels to me.
Come TogetherJohn Lennon
If we broaden the theme of friendship to include cooperation and coexistence with our companions, this song embodies exactly that.
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.
Friend Of MineThe Notorious B.I.G.
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.
Rappers, for example, often clasp hands when they meet to affirm their bond.
If you listen to this song with that background in mind, it takes on a different meaning.
Youthful AmigoShūji to Akira
It’s a classic friendship song that’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped when you sing it at karaoke with friends.
It brings back memories of those middle and high school days when you felt like you could do anything with your friends, so listening to it or singing it together takes you right back to that student mindset.
Stand By MeBen E. King
When it comes to friendship songs in Western music, this is the one that comes to mind for many people, right? It was the theme song for the film Stand by Me.
If you’re worn out with the May blues and need a breather, this nostalgic tune is perfect for calming your mind.
It might also be nice to reach out to an old friend.
