The Chainsmokers & Coldplay – Something Just Like This (Official Lyric Video)

This song is about how best friends will drop everything and rush to your side, never lie, and are bound together by a strong bond.

It says that because of all the secret stories and hidden places only the two of you know—because of all those things piling up—you’ll stay together from here on out.

What a wonderful relationship!

Corinne Bailey Rae – Put Your Records On

It’s a soothing song with a soft, gentle, unforced vocal.

The message—encouraging us to be brave because even if the world changes, the truly important things don’t change so easily—really resonates.

Staying true to myself is quite difficult, but if a close friend told me to, I feel like I could do it!
