You've got a friend in me - Randy Newman -TOY STORY

A friendship song that’s easy to recommend even for young children.

Written by singer-songwriter Randy Newman as the theme song for the 1995 animated film Toy Story, it expresses a straightforward sentiment of “You’ve got a friend in me!” The lyrics clearly reflect the film’s story.

Because it’s so well-known, it might be perfect as BGM for a surprise video for Disney fans or friends who love Toy Story.

“Friends” by the American boy group Why Don’t We, who made their first visit to Japan at Summer Sonic in 2018.

It’s included on their first album released in 2018.

As the title suggests, it’s a song about friends (lol).

The percussion sounds are soothing, giving the track a very moody feel.

It’s a friendship song that captures the vibe of youth—casual conversations with friends and enjoying the weekend together.

It’s a song about friendship that can also sound like a sweet love song that tightens your chest when you listen to it.

I don’t know the lyrics, so this is my own interpretation, but it seems like a song about the balance between romantic love and friendship between a man and a woman.

I’m sure many people have felt this way.
