My Fairweather Friend

I'm not sure if the song was meant to be this, but I thought it sounded a bit like someone who never had any of her prayers answered.

This song goes straight into my heart. It's just so wonderful.

I really love this song because it describes how I feel about a lot of my so called "friends".

I agree with you Meaurel. I can honestly 90% of my friends remind me of this song.

I think of the fairweather friend as alcohol. But maybe that's just me because I'm an alcoholic :/

to me this sounds like it's about someone's friend who didn't make it into heaven with her.

A Fairweather friend reminds of someone who is there when the going is good, but isn't there when things are bad, and they will be absent in the end, because the end (for most people) isn't something good.

"The one thing that I'm sure about Is that you won't be anywhere around me when I fall"

This supports the fact that the friend is one who doesn't stick around too much.

"I'd like to think I wouldn't die for you, but you know I would 'Cause that's the fool I am"

This shows that even though she knows that this friend won't be around, she will still be completely loyal to them, no matter what, even if they leave.

"Absent in the end Love you only bend Wounds you'll never mend My fairweather friend"

This further shows the abuse (emotional) that the relationship entails, bending of rules, opinions, wounds and the such.

This song is amazing, simplistic and lyrically full of ideas and thoughts.

she just sings the song through twice

I wonder if the song would fly if it where 90 seconds
