Blog #10~Song Quote "One Friend" by Keb Mo

"All I need is one friend
To get me through the day
One friend
That never goes away
Only one friend
To understand
And never let me down" (Moore,Zonneveld)

This is one of my favorite songs. It's about being hurt by people and going through life's up's and down's and being able to do it with the help of one good friend. The words that continually leap out through the poem are "one" and "friend". This poem is all about being able to count on just one person (sometimes even that is hard to find) to help you through everything. Possibly the reason this poem is so imporant to me is that I relate to needing just one good friend. That one that is always there, no matter what. Tells you the truth even if it hurts, hugs you when you need it and lets you be when you need space. The one you can tell anything to, knowing it goes no further. The one who "gets" you like no one else ever will. Some people say they have lots of friends. I can't say that, but what I can say is that I do have one good friend, just like in the poem, and that's worth more than anything.
