<p>I need some songs for a friend re supporting someone / being there for someone (in this case, his young adult son who is having some emotional issues). The example I can think of is “I Won’t Let Go” by Rascal Flatts, and it’s a good one; I’m looking for more songs in this vein. Any genre / style of music is fine. Thanks!</p>
<p>Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me”. Jackson Five’s “I’ll be There”.</p>
<p>Wing Beneath My Wings, Bette Midler.</p>
<p>Joan Armatrading, Willow–my favorite–willing to be your shelter from the storm</p>

<p>You’ve got a Friend</p>
<p>Yes, “You’ve got a friend.” I like both the Carole King and James Taylor versions.</p>
<p>“I’ll Stand by You” by The Pretenders</p>
<p>Bridge over Troubled Water.</p>
<p>Find Out Who Your Friends Are- Tracy Lawrence</p>
<p>I’ll be there for you, by the Rembrandts. Friends theme song</p>
<p>With a little help from my Friends…Beatles</p>
<p>Thanks - I am looking for things that are a bit more subtle / not so “obvious” as the I’ll Be There / Lean on Me / With a Little Help From My Friends type of songs! Country music would be ideal, though any genre ok.</p>
<p>How about ’ All my rowdy friends" by Hank Williams Jr. ;)</p>
<p>I’ll Stand By You-Carrie Underwood</p>
<p>Are you avoiding a romantic theme?</p>
<p>You’re My Home. Billy Joel</p>
<p>All My Days. Alexi Murdoch. (Was featured in the movie Away We Go)</p>
<p>Orange Sky. Alexi Murduch. (written as a tribute to American soldiers, but doesn’t have to be interpreted as such. A beautiful, not well known song.)</p>
<p>Sing. Travis</p>
<p>Have a Little Faith in Me - John Hiatt</p>
<p>Pack Up Your Troubles - Eliza Doolittle</p>

<p>Treetopleaf - yeah, not really looking for an overt love song, though ok with a song that could work both ways. ,</p>
<p>If it was a significant other, I’d suggest “I Believe in You and Me,” from The Preacher’s Wife soundtrack (Whitney Houston).</p>
