It’s a song about being confessed to by a childhood friend, getting followed around, and firmly rejecting him by saying we can’t be more than friends—let’s just stay friends from now on.

May is when you’ve gotten used to a new environment and feel like starting something new, but choosing to maintain the status quo in a relationship might also be a courageous decision.

Perfect for listening to in the warm May weather.

The gentle voices of a man and a woman, as if softly telling you, “You can get through this, I’m here with you,” are sure to soothe you.

Even if you’re worn down by the May blues, it might remind you of friends who stand by your side.
