A lovely friendship song

Songs to give to friends who like Western music. World-famous and popular songs.

When you want to convey feelings to a friend that you don’t usually say directly, how do you get them across?

Putting those feelings into music and sending it—especially when it’s embarrassing or feels too late to say because you’re so close—might be one way to express yourself.

This time, we’ve put together a special feature on Western songs to give to friends!

Lean On MeBill Withers

A famous song about friendship.

It’s a song you can send regardless of gender, but from a woman’s perspective, you could give it to a female friend troubled by love to say, “Talk to me, lean on me.” Its gentle, light tempo that embraces a worried friend will surely open a closed-off heart.

When you want to encourage a best friend who’s being a bit stubborn, quietly send this song in place of the words, “I’m always by your side.”
