You’ve Got A FriendBilly Crawford feat. Nikki Gil
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.

Finally, we have a wonderfully weird band that America can be proud of.
They started out as a garage rock outfit, and now they release works that ignore genres altogether.
Personally, I think this song is their best; it portrays the battle and friendship between a robot and Yoshimi (a human).
