1. Yuki Kajiura - Scaena felix // A happy scene
((Instrumental))
We begin the mix on a quiet subtle note--a small instrumental that wouldn't be out of place in an Animal Crossing game.
2. Sarah Brightman & José Carreras - Amigos Para Siempre (Friends for Life)
Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre
I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre
Despite having the trappings of a romantic ballad, the lyrics reveal the true meaning of the song: that platonic love and friendship can be just as deep, loving, and meaningful.
3. Carbon Leaf - The Friendship Song
I want to be the smile
I want to see the change
I want to be your friend from the start
And once it starts, it never ends
I want to be your pal, I want to be around
I want to be your friend when you are down
I want to be the sunshine
On your smiling face
Says on the tin--this is indeed the Friendship Song. A friend is someone who wants to be everything for you, namely bringing you joy and sunshine.
4. Ben E. King - Stand By Me
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
A familiar classic, especially if you've seen the movie of the same name. There's many versions out there, but this is one that started it all~
5. Catherine Warwick & Jeremy Holland - Bein' Friends
When you are happy
With laughter to spare
Fun is twice as fun
With someone to share
When you are lonely
And full of despair
Things aren't half as had
When somebody cares
Maybe now you have figured it out
That's what bein' a friend is about
When you're lookin'
For a shoulder you can cry on (Won't you think about me?)
When you're lookin'
For someone you can rely on (Don't you ever doubt me)
I'll be there someway, somehow
That's what bein' friends is about
I wasn't initially going to include this song, but my inner Earthbound fangirl surrendered. ._.;;; But it definitely fits with the theme of the mix, so there you go.
6. The Doubleclicks - Tiny Paper Elephant
There’s a mislabeled Kenobi
There’s a can wearing a tie
And they know that life can feel like you’re a Jedi with no wine
But don’t worry if it’s not the same
If you never see the sign
‘Cause the things that make you different
Are what really make you shine
You’re a unique combination
You’re the sum of all your parts
You’re an egg with great potential
And it’s not too late to start
And this song is just adorable and uplifting. ;; If you're that tiny paper elephant, you have people cheering you on.
7. Diveo - I Want to Be Your Friend
Hey is that you making that music?
I think it's really cool
Why don't you call my number when you're done
We'll go out and have so much fun
Because I want to be your friend
Yeah I want to be your friend
Now for something poppy, unusual, and fun. The best way to make friends is to have common interests, and in the narrator's case, it's music. :3
8. Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back - Because I Love You (Orchestrated)
((Instrumental))
Not just any orchestra either; this is from the Orchestral Game Concert 3. Gorgeously done.
9. Bill Withers - Lean On Me
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
We return to the classics, once again going back to the original. :)
10. Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al
No matter how much life may kick us in the shins, there's an Al for our Betty somewhere out there.
11. Sting - My Funny Friend And Me
I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure
I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure
But you stayed and you called my name
When others would have walked out on a lousy game
And you could've made it through
But your funny friend and me
A true friend is there for you no matter how rough or abrasive you might be; we would be nothing without their patience.
12. Yuki Kajiura - Clementia // Clemency
((Instrumental))
Another gentle peaceful instrumental. And considering the show it's from? Trust us, you'll need those moments.
13. Chiika - Garry's Theme (Fighting For You)
Now that you've found me
I've stumbled through fire
Now that you've touched me
I've bloomed like a flower
Now that you're with me
I no longer cower in silence, hiding
I'm fighting for you
Nope, totally not weeping buckets here. Why do you ask?
14. Cleo Laine - Not While I'm Around
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you
No sir, not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere nowadays
I'll send them howling
I don't care, I got ways
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry
Whistle I'll be there
Demons'll charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around
As dark (and darkly comedic) Sweeney Todd can be, it has a genuinely sweet song in the form of "Not While I'm Around." And Cleo Laine brings out all the warmth it offers. ;;
15. Radical Face - Secrets (Cellar Door)
And then I cried, because all my life I have known something was off
But you just shrugged and said: "it ain't just you"
Slipping on the pavement where we ran from the ghosts that you saw behind the cellar door
That's the way that you showed me that I wasn't quite alone
That you'd also touched the dead before
One child can bring animals back to life; another can listen to the voices of the dead. The two of them share each other's secrets and become friends.
16. Savage Garden - Crash And Burn
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
It's a dark, dark world out there, and a shoulder you can lean on is the light at the end of the tunnel.
17. Jayn - Promise of Reunion (Off Vocal #2)
((Instrumental))
A callback to one of the earlier tracks of the mix to tie it all together.
18. Queen - Friends Will Be Friends
It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
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
A song not only of friendship, but of hope as well.
19. Lights - Follow You Down
Call me, and I'll lift you up
I'm never far from you
Tell me when you've had enough
And I will carry you through
‘Cause if two flames go out
They stay the same
So just call me, you know I will be waiting for you
As you walk towards that redemption sound
You know I'll be the stillness when you’re shaking
And when you fall overboard, I'll follow you down
Friendship is loyal and unyielding, all the way to the end...
20. Hirokazu Tanaka - To My Best Friend (Music Box Version)
((Instrumental))
We brighten things up with a small music box lullaby~
21. John Goodman & Billy Crystal - If I Didn't Have You
Yes, I wouldn't be nothing
If I didn't have you to serve
I'm just a punky little eyeball
And a funky optic nerve
Hey, I never told you this but
Sometimes I get a little blue
But I wouldn't have nothing
If I didn't have you
Finally, we wrap things up on a good note with Monsters Inc. :) Thanks for sticking with me this far, and I hope this provided the inspiration you needed~
