FriendsThe Police
The Police’s song carries a deep meaning about friendship.
Using a unique expression that likens human connections to food, it conveys the importance of bonds with friends.
Released in 1980 as the B-side to the single “Don’t Stand So Close to Me,” this track approaches the essence of human relationships in a distinctive way.
Its melody has The Police’s signature character, and together with the depth of the lyrics, it leaves a lasting impression.
It’s a great song to listen to when you want to look back on memories with friends or renew your gratitude for someone important.
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.”

How about practicing the ukulele and giving a singing-and-playing performance as a gift? It’s a song we’d love you to hear by the seaside.
