Relationships and Roles

Any song with a title or lyrics (not artist name) about any relationship or role played by YOU in your life, eg. Mother, brother, friend or dancer, boss, or similar.

Lynda

Dionne Warwick – That’s What Friends Are For

I rate myself as a good and loyal Friend. Hope you enjoy this classic song!

Wilfred

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother THE HOLLIES

This song reminds me of so many people. The relationship is brother. I have only one, but also many.
Hope you enjoy it.

Geraldine

Fall On Me (From Disney’s “The Nutcracker And The Four Realms” / English Version)

Born under the star of cancer I am all about mothering, mentoring and caring – my children, grandson, siblings, parents, friends and colleagues. Yes fall on me if you need support, love, a friend, a listener or sounding board.
Fall on my by Andrea and Matteo Bocelli says it all!

Deborah

Texas – In Demand

A song about lovers ❤️. (Plus Sharleen Spiteri, of Scottish band Texas and Alan Rickman make an interesting couple in this cool video.)

Chrisna

Carole King – You’ve Got a Friend (from Welcome To My Living Room)

My song today – being a friend.

Sue

The Real Thing – You To Me Are Everything – Liverpool Philharmonic Hall

The song says it all. First recorded way back in 1980 the message is still as strong as ever. Enjoy a call back the past moment.

Esther

Jasmine Rae – When I Found You

This song is for my dearest husband I loved and cared for so much it still hurts to think he will not come home to me. I never knew anyone could love like that. Please enjoy.

Arno

Rammstein – Ohne Dich

Richard

Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (Camp Granada Song) with Lyrics Sing-Along, Allan Sherman, 1963, updated

If asked to choose my top ten classical melodies, it would have to include Amilcare Ponchielli’s “Dance of the Hours”.
In this production by Allan Sherman, we hear a passionate plea from a young man for understanding and a call for family unity in adverse times…

Liezel

The Killers – Human

No surprises on what my role is…

Paul

Bruno Mars – Count on Me

The word itself is not in the lyrics but I see myself as someone people can rely on and be there for them.

Count in me. Aka reliable.

Karen

Train – Hey, Soul Sister

Most of my friends become the family I choose for myself. So the words Soul Sister really resonate for me….

Zosia

Josh Turner – Why Don’t We Just Dance

We live in a crazy world and the lyrics of this song are just what we need. I love dancing and do so at every opportunity. It makes the world a happier carefree place if only for the duration of the dancing.

Errol

Bruce Springsteen w. John Fogerty – Fortunate Son – Madison Square Garden, NYC – 2009/10/29&30

I am a son. My mother said it was a full-time job looking after sons. She gave me a small plaque that reads ‘Mothers of little boys work from son up… to son down’. Bless her! 😁
My song tonight is about a Fortunate Son. One of the most popular CCR war protest songs, it is about those ‘fortunate sons’ of highly placed people that could use their position and influence to avoid the draft. 😡
This version is a cover of that great CCR song, but every bit as good. It features The Boss, and the man himself, John Fogerty.
Enjoy!
