Some people find spending time with their friends so comfortable that they want to stay together forever.
A song that seems to speak for those feelings is “No New Friends ft.
Labrinth, Sia, Diplo.” This track is by LSD, a unit formed by rapper Labrinth, singer-songwriter Sia, and music producer Diplo.
In the song, the title phrase is repeated, depicting a friendship with existing friends that will last forever.
The pop sound also conveys an intention to lift the listener’s spirits.
Don’t Forget MeMaggie Rogers
Entrusting feelings for friends and loved ones to a song.
Maggie Rogers’s new track is a gem of a pop song infused with just such emotions.
With a warm voice that feels like she’s speaking to a close friend, it gently wraps the complexities of relationships and the anxieties of love.
Released in February 2024, the song is the lead single from the album “Don’t Forget Me.” Set to a refined blend of folk and pop, it sings of both the joy and the hesitation surrounding a friend’s marriage.
It’s a song you’ll want to give to a friend at a new life milestone, carrying sentiments too deep to put into words.
Graduation (Friends Forever)Vitamin C
A nostalgic song about friendships at high school graduation and what lies ahead.
It was released as a single in 2000 by American pop singer Vitamin C.
The melody is based on the piece Canon in D Major by the German composer Johann Pachelbel.
He Was a Friend of MineBob Dylan
A poignant folk song that captures the pain and sense of loss from a broken friendship.
Bob Dylan’s distinctive vocals convey the sorrow of losing a close friend with unflinching honesty.
Released in 1962, the piece has been widely interpreted as a response to President Kennedy’s assassination, and Dylan himself has said as much.
It has been covered by many artists, including the Grateful Dead and Willie Nelson, and was featured in the 2005 film Brokeback Mountain.
Recommended for anyone who has lost someone dear or wishes to reflect on the value of friendship.
Born This WayLady Gaga
A work released by Lady Gaga in 2011.
While this song isn’t about “friends” in the narrow sense, when taken more broadly—as friends meaning all people on Earth—it becomes a powerful anthem of support.
