I know this guy who needs to hear some things. I grew up with him... and I love him to death. However, he's messing up his life. I'm afraid I might lose him soon. He doesnt even care about going on and living his life... Ive talked with him about it, but he wont listen. So, I'm going to play a song for him on the piano. He's a sucker for music. And, I know he'll listen to it. I need a rather well-known song that would fit, and let him know i care about him. Do you have any suggestions? Sorry, I know this is a weird question, but I need help.

James Taylor
You've Got A Friend
When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Youve got a friend.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
Theyll hurt you and desert you.
Well theyll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but dont you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Oh babe, dont you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all youve got to do is call.
Lord, Ill be there, yes I will.
Youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.

"Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace
"All The Same" by Sick Puppies
You probably need to do a piano cover of both songs, though. Three Days Grace is easier.

what about that new one about suicide - how to save a life by the fray:
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong - where did I go wrong - I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up - I would of stayed up - with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

I know sometimes when I'm feeling down I listen to Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds." Check it out.

Peter gabriel - Dont give up. One of the most emotional songs ever written. Take my word for it and purchase it from itunes. It's perfect for this.
