My favorite explanation of what it means to be a friend is “Pigs on the Wing”
You know that I care What happens to you
And I know that you care For me too
So I don’t feel alone on the weight of the stone Now that I’ve found somewhere safe to bury my bone And any fool knows a dog needs a home A shelter from pigs on the wing
Pink Floyd, Animals
Possibly my favorite written passage is the last verse of “Wish You Here”. I thought about it all the time when I was separated from my best friend.
How I wish, how I wish you were here We’re just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
A recent favorite is ” I Want You To Know”. Perhaps it was intended differently but I think it’s a beautiful ode to partnership; a wonderful way to think about a comrade and lover. Even true friends have conflict and things can be hard. But the storm will flow over if we don’t lose faith. You have to believe in your friends.
I’m better under your reflection But did you know did you know did you know know? That’s anybody else that’s met ya It’s all the same all the same all the same glow
Honey it’s raining tonight But storms always have an eye have an eye Tell me you’re covered tonight Or tell me lies tell me lies lies
I want you to know that it’s our time You and me bleed the same light I want you to know that I’m all yours You and me we’re the same force I want you to know that it’s our time You and me bleed the same light I want you to know that I’m all yours You and me run the same course
