1. Riccardo Cocciante, A new friend
Published in 1982, this song by Riccardo Cocciante is certainly one of the most loved and known. Talk about everything you are willing to do for a friend and how these "sacrifices" are reciprocal. Friends choose each other and for this reason they continually show each other the sincerity of their affection. They range from the simplest actions to the greatest gestures, so only one really counts in friendship: being there.
Because I feel very rich and
Much less unhappy
And I also see when there is little light
With an extra friend.
Also in the discography of Riccardo Cocciante, there is another beautiful song about friendship. The title is You are my dearest friend and has as its theme the different facets of this bond. With a true friend you argue, argue and, at times, go away, but never, under any circumstances, do you betray him or are not close to him when he needs it.
You are my dearest friend
Never betray me
Neither money, nor women, nor politics
They can divide us
You are my dearest friend
Never betray me.
2. Queen, Friends Will Be Friends
It's not always easy to tell a true friend from a fake one. As commonplace as it may seem, we live in a world that is particularly prone to appearances rather than genuineness. All of this also makes it difficult to discover that he really cares about us and who doesn't. Friends Will Be Friends of Queen tells just this: you will understand or have confirmation of true friends in times of need, when everything seems to go wrong and you need someone who gives you affection and attention, here they will be there by your side.
Friends will be friends
When you "re through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand "cause friends will be friends
Right till the end.
3. Renato Zero, Friend
True friendship is also one that does not fear the passage of time and that, on the contrary, manages to survive despite it. Renato Zero reveals this aspect in his Friend - dated 1980 -, where he finds himself consoling his companion in adventure because of a broken love and to push him to rethink the moments he spent in his youth. His friend's relationship may have ended, but they are still there, together.
Stay, friend, next to me
Stay and tell me about her, if she still is
Love dies dissolved in tears, but us
Let's hold on tight and leave the world to its vices.

4. The Rembrandts, I "ll Be There For You
Who hasn't hummed and danced to the notes of this song at least once in their life? Soundtrack of the famous TV series Friends, I "ll Be There For You by The Rembrandts returns to the fundamental theme of friendship, that is, always being there for one another. Only true friends see us in our worst moments, they decide to face them together with us, supporting us at any cost, and we are ready to do the same for them: "I'll be there for you when the rain starts to fall, I'll be there for you like I did before, I'll be there for you because you're there for me too».
I "ll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I "ll be there for you
(Like I "ve been there before)
I "ll be there for you
("Cause you" re there for me too).
5. Antonello Venditti, It would take a friend
Love is that feeling capable of taking you to the stars, but, in an instant, capable of making you sink into sadness and pain. Antonello Venditti explains this situation in his famous It would take a friend, where suffering from the end of a relationship stands out as the main theme, followed by the need to have a friend by your side who can help him forget the woman he loves.
It would take a friend
To forget the evil,
It would take a friend
Here forever by my side,
It would take a friend
In pain and regret.
6. Bruno Mars, Count On Me
If the desire to have a friend of Antonello Venditti does not seem to be fulfilled in reality, in Count On Me by Bruno Mars, however, all this happens. It is one of the most recent songs about friendship that with extreme simplicity and delicacy in the melody talks about the solid relationship between two true friends. When we feel the need, if we need a shoulder to cry on or someone to help us sleep serenely, just "count to 3" and our friend will be there for us: because that's how friends do, they never leave us.
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the see,
I'll sail the world to find you.
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see,
I'll be the light to guide you.
You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You "ll be there
"Cause that" s what friends are supposed to do.
7. Biagio Antonacci and Sergio Dalma, The friend you have
With the commitments of everyday life and the unexpected events of life, it is normal that one cannot always be physically present for friends. However, true friendship manages to find a way to survive even at a distance. This is what Biagio Antonacci tells us in his song The friend you have. It is about two friends who are opposite each other, who do not hear or see each other constantly, but know that if they need to, they will have someone ready to wait for them.
We live in two difficult realities
We are neurotic
But we never fall
We support each other in a dialogue.
8. The Beatles, With A Little Help From My Friends
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney for Ringo Starr, With A Little Help From My Friends it is a light-hearted classic where it is told how loneliness and the absence of a love relationship are overcome thanks to a little help from friends. Sure, their presence doesn't completely replace that all-human need to find someone to love and be loved by, but it sure makes us feel less alone.
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you "re on your own?
No, I get by with a little help from my friends.
9. Giorgia, What a friend you are
In What a friend you are, Giorgia sings of an "all-female friendship with phrases that tell of a bond that has gone on over the years and remains strong and firm. The secrets confided, the long chats and mutual help make the relationship described unique and extraordinary, able to support the two girls in the most difficult times.
What a friend are you, you want to run away from
Let's go far, we never will
What a friend you are, never change
If I ask for a hand I know you are there.
10. Queen, You "re My Best Friend
Finally, they always return, Queen, with a song from 1975. In You "re My Best Friend the English band talks about how in the woman you love you can also find your best friend. In fact, understanding, support and affection are expected from a best friend, qualities that are essential even for a partner. Thus, in this song, love and friendship are no longer separated and put at the service of each other, but they are in unison to give life to one of the most beautiful relationships.
Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I "ve been wandering" round
Still come back to you
In rain or shine, you "ve stood by me girl
I'm happy at home
You "re my best friend.
