[Western Music] Bright Friendship Songs: Introducing Upbeat and Hype Tracks (71–80)
Old FriendsEverything But The Girl
Everything But The Girl is a group that was hugely active in the ’80s.
In this song, their signature delicate female vocals and gently dreamy sound come together beautifully.
I’m not sure if it should be called dream pop, but listening to it now, that’s how it feels to me.
Come TogetherJohn Lennon
If we broaden the theme of friendship to include cooperation and coexistence with our companions, this song embodies exactly that.
It sings about everyone coming together as one, creating solidarity, and how that leads to happiness.
It’s a masterpiece and a song that reflects its era.
I Wanna Be Your BoyfriendRamones
It sings about a faint first crush and friendship.
Just like in this song, during our school days we often wanted to get closer to someone we liked, even if only as a friend at first.
That urge comes from youth, and the song captures those pure feelings.

Friend Of MineThe Notorious B.I.G.
Hip-hop groups actually have a lot of songs about friendship.
Because they have a strong sense of territory and camaraderie, friendship is the most important thing to them.
Rappers, for example, often clasp hands when they meet to affirm their bond.
If you listen to this song with that background in mind, it takes on a different meaning.
One And The SameSelena Gomez And Demi Lovato
It’s a rock/pop song with an idol vibe that also recalls artists like Avril Lavigne.
When a female vocalist with a great voice sings an upbeat track like this, it naturally turns into a catchy, high-energy number.
It’s a wonderful song, and you can feel a sense of friendship in it.
If I sing to the sky175R
When I listen to this song, I remember the irreplaceable days of youth I spent with my friends.
I didn’t know what was right, but I just lived straight.
Sometimes I lost my way, but I wasn’t afraid of anything, and everything looked like hope.
This is a song that makes me want to live just as straightforwardly now as I did back then.
There is Power in a UnionBilly Bragg
It became the theme song for the film “Pride.” It’s a track that conveys solidarity, friendship, and strong bonds among comrades.
May is a time when some people gather with their fellow workers for May Day, or join a Rainbow Parade and march with friends.
The film itself is full of friendship and comes highly recommended.
