I'll Be There For You (The Real One)
Rembrandts · Other Songs - Rembrandts
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. (4 claps)
You 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 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)
...music...
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 the worst I'm best with you.
Yeah
...music...
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)
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you ('Cause you're there for me too)
I'll Be There For You (The Real One)
The Rembrandts are best known for their enduring association with the theme song from the hit television series Friends, yet their discography offers a broader range of alternative rock and pop sensibilities. I'll Be There For You (The Real One) serves as a distinct variation on their signature sound, exploring the same thematic territory with a different musical arrangement. While the band achieved massive commercial success through their television work, this recording highlights their ability to reinterpret core material for different contexts. The track stands as a testament to their versatility within the 1990s pop-rock landscape, offering listeners a fresh perspective on a familiar melody. It remains a notable song in their catalogue, demonstrating how the group expanded upon their initial breakthrough to create a lasting musical identity beyond a single hit.
