MY FRIEND - Groove Armada Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend
In my time of need

Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
(I call on you my friend)
(I call on you my friend)

Listen, listen, listen

Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend
In my time of need

Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
(I call on you my friend)
(I call on you my friend)

Whenever I'm down
And all that's going on
Is really going on
Just one of those days (and ju-h)

You say the right things
To keep me moving on
To keep me going strong
(Going strong)
(Going strong)

Overall Meaning

The song "My Friend" by Groove Armada is a classic tribute to the power of friendship. The song is about having a friend who is always there for you through thick and thin. The first verse is all about how the singer turns to their friend whenever they are feeling down. The friend offers a helping hand and support in the singer's time of need. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of having someone to rely on during difficult times. The bridge of the song starts with the phrase "And all that's going on" which suggests that sometimes life can be overwhelming and stressful. But the friend in the song steps in to say the right things, offer encouragement, and keep the singer going strong. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the phrase "ain't nobody," which reinforces that the singer's friend is truly one of a kind.


Overall, the song's message is simple yet powerful: everyone needs a friend who will be there for them during tough times. The song captures the essence of what it means to have a true friend, someone who will lend a helping hand, provide words of support, and be a constant source of strength.
