Artiestinformatie

Land   Verenigde Staten

De band bestaat uit het duo Danny Wilde en Phil Solem. Eerder hadden ze al samengewerkt in de band Great Buildings. Begin jaren 90 scoren ze hun eerste hit in Amerika met het nummer Just The Way It Is, Baby. Het echte grote succes komt echter later met het nummer I’ll Be There For You, de titelsong is voor de sitcom Friends.


In 1997 gaat de band uit elkaar, maar in 2000 komen Wilde en Solem weer samen. In 2001 brengen ze het album Lost Together uit. Het duo schrijft en produceert ook regelmatig voor andere artiesten, zoals Plain White T’s en Gin Blossoms.

Songtekst

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast, so far things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees and

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, Yeah!

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)
