Friends Theme Tune I’ll Be There For You by The Rembrandts cover by Britpop Reunion

The original song by The Rembrandts was released in 1995. Prior to this it wasn’t actually a fully completed song as it was just a one minute theme tune written JUST for the show. After the success of the first season of Friends the bands record label insisted they made it a full complete song. So The Rembrandts added extra parts including a middle 8. (Only true Friends fans know the lyrics to the middle eight section of the song though we always say). The single performed incredibly well in charts across the world throughout the nineteen nighties.

All the guitar parts and harmonies are there from the original song in our live version of this classic 90s tv show.  The audio was taken straight from the desk and no magic or trickery has been performed on it. This is how Britpop Reunion the ultimate 90s tribute band sound live and more so these are guests open and honest reactions to the song and our nineties show.

 

 

The main characters in Friends include:

  • Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston)
  • Monica Geller (Courteney Cox)
  • Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow)
  • Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc)
  • Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry)
  • Ross Geller (David Schwimmer)

Britpop Reunion band leader Andy Starkey is and always was a huge fan of Friends, so much so that he even created a How To Play Smelly Cat On Guitar Tutorial so other budding musicians could learn how to play this simple and fun song performed by Phoebe Buffay in the show.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s Lyrics.

This song has just two verses and the same chorus sung throughout. The first verse is sung again instead of there being a third verse, but that’s what makes it a great pop song that everyone can remember the lyrics too

Verse
You’ll say we’ve got nothing in common,
No common ground to start from,
And we’re falling apart.

You’ll say the world has come between us,
Our lives have come between us,
Still I know you just don’t care.

Chorus
And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany’s,
She said I think I remember that film and
As I recall I think we both kind of liked it
And I said well that’s the one thing we’ve got.

Verse
I see you the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me,
I guess I was wrong.

So what now it’s plain to see were over,
And I hate when things are over,
With so much left undone.

Lyrics to the Oasis song Live Forever

The lyrics to this classic Oasis song released in on the 8th August 1994  from the debut Oasis album Definitely Maybe are reasonably easy to remember as they repeat themselves. This is apart from the “Maybe I will never be…” section which is only sung once. 

 

Maybe I don’t really wanna know
How your garden grows
‘Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?

Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don’t wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don’t believe
Maybe you’re the same as me
We see things they’ll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I said maybe I don’t really wanna know
How your garden grows
‘Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
Now is not the time to cry
Now’s the time to find out why
I think you’re the same as me
We see things they’ll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don’t really wanna know
How your garden grows
‘Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?

Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don’t wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don’t believe
Maybe you’re the same as me
We see things they’ll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
We’re gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever

Lyrics to Cast No Shadow by Oasis

Here’s a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands (what’s in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
Surviving if he can (surviving if he can) (Second time around: But only if he can)

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

As they took his soul they stole his pride x 3
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

 

As you will see the entire song is simply repeated from the start again with the exact same lyrics apart from Noel’s call back changes from “Surviving if he can” to “But only if he can” second time around.
