15 Songs That Will Make You Think Of Your Best Friend
Self, Love, Beauty

Best friends are our favorite people. They're the best, hence the term "best friends", and sometimes we feel like words aren't enough to express how much they mean to us. However, if Glee has taught us anything is that sometimes music speaks louder than words. From Bruno Mars to Coldplay, here are a few songs that will make you want to call your best friend up and sing to him/her.

1. Count on Me

by Bruno Mars


Because sometimes we just want to let them know that "if they ever found themselves stuck in the middle of the sea, we'll sail the world to find them."

2. One Call Away

by Charlie Puth

"No matter where you go, know you're not alone".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaW9uCspIsI

3. One and the Same

by Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez

Even though this friendship breakup broke our hearts, it's always good to take it back to the good old days and let our friends know that "we're one and the same, we're anything but ordinary... I think we're almost legendary."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so9iThJ7eQY

4. True Friend

by Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus)


Since we already took it back to the good old Disney days, why not include this friendship classic? Even though it may seem childish, this is one of the greatest songs about friendships there is. It's always good to let our friends know that "we're so lucky that we've found a true friend. They're here til' the end."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfiJnbbhC2c

5. Army

by Ellie Goulding

Just let the lyrics speak for themselves on this one.

"I know that I've been messed up, you never let me give up. All the nights and the fights and the blood and the breakups. You're always there to call up. I'm a pain, I'm a child, I'm afraid, but yet you understand, yeah like no one can."

Ellie actually wrote this song for her best friend and her fans, because we all deserve someone who can make us feel that with them, we have an army standing with us.

6. You'll Never Be Alone

by Capital Kings


Even though this song is actually intended to talk about God, you can still sing it to your best friend. It's always important to let them know that

"I'm the street lights that guide you home, I'll be the GPS when you've lost your phone, I'll be the song that's rocking into your headphones. I'll show you the signs to let you know, you'll never be alone."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8bYgVEfAUo

7. I'll be there for you

by The Rembrandts

If you've ever watched Friends, you know that this is the perfect song to dedicate to your own Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, Ross, Chandler or even to your Joey.

"When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-9kPks0IfE

8. Wipe Your Eyes

by Maroon 5

Even though this is intended to be a love song, if you ever have a fight with your best friend or feel like they just need a little consolation, sing them this. Because sometimes people just need to know that they can cry, because we'll be there to wipe their eyes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez68BZ2_6yw

9. Gift of a Friend

by Demi Lovato

Still reliving the old Disney, this 2009 classic made us (and still makes us) believe in true, genuine friendship. Because when you find a truly great friend,

"the world comes to life and everything's bright, from beginning to end when you have a friend by your side that helps you to find the beauty you are when you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend ."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B6vdCf6cr4

10. Best Friend

by Harry Nilsson

This song lasts less than a minute, but it lets people know about your best friend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpTDAow4XU8

11. See You Again

by Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa

This one makes us cry just thinking about it, but there are also those friends we've lost. Whether we lost them forever, or over a fight, or just drifted apart this song will remind us of the good old days and maybe even make us want to send it to them to let them know that

"what's small turn to a friendship, a friendship turn to a bond, and that bond will never be broken, the love will never get lost, and when brotherhood comes first then the line will never be crossed."

https://youtu.be/RgKAFK5djSk

12. I'll Stand By You

by The Pretenders

Any Glee fan will probably remember this song from the first and last season, and will probably cry because of Finn. Still, it's a great song to let our friend know that we'll stand by them no matter what.

"When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do, nothing you confess could make me love you less. I'll stand by you."

https://youtu.be/maAyfcO-X3k

13. Oath

by Cher Lloyd and Becky G

This song is perfect for dedicating it to your best friends.

"Wherever you go, just always remember that you got a home for now and forever and if you get low, just call me whenever. This is my oath to you."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqz713hhz1Y

14. Here for You

By Kygo feat. Ella Henderson

This one's a little more upbeat and relatively new. Even if you get lost in the rhythm, when you actually hear the lyrics you find out it's a great song to sing to a friend.

"Whenever you need me, I'm behind and I'll promise to take you up to the highs. When you feel you've had enough, and you've wasted all your love, I'll be here for you, here for you. When the dog has left his bone, and you've run away from home, I'll be here for you, here for you."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8PPap4dJog

15. Keep Holding On

by Avril Lavigne

Sometimes times get tough, and we just need a little reassurance that everything will be okay. This underappreciated song by Avril is perfect when your friends are feeling down and you're not really sure how to comfort them. Whenever things aren't going like they planned, just remind them to keep holding on.

"You're not alone, together we stand. I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand. When it gets cold and it feels like the end, there's no place to go, you know I won't give in."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gcrx2Ab0FM

As I said before, friends are great, so once in a while, let them know how great they are. Also, it's just a cute thing to do in friendships. The same way you could have "our song" with your partner, have one with your friends. And if you ever find a silly love song that makes you think of your friend, tell them. "You know, without the sappy love part."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

StableDiffusion

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
