i've just found this.

I just got this song about an hour and a half ago from jasonrobertbrown.com
I've been busy so I hadnt checked for updates till tonight when I was pushing off my rewrite/ next scene for playwriting.

Its called What It Means To Be A Friend. A thirteen year old girl sings it and I think it's wonderful. Normally in his music JRB is very lyrically complicated- beautiful, but complicated (like so much in life). These lyrics are so appropriate for a thirteen year old girl. I know that I went through things like this... and one of the lyrics struck me so much because it jsut found it to be true no matter what age you are... anyways...

A friends not a cheap little phony creep
or a jerk trying to make a deal
a friend is a person who most of all
cares about what you feel
and nothing is harder then learning a friend isnt real

a friend sends notes back and forth all day
and doesnt care that you cant spell.
a friend knows you've got a crush on your teacher-
but a friend would never tell.
a friends outside waiting the minute you both hear the bell
and if your heart is always breaking
cause the world is just not fair
when you're at your worst the friends the first one there
giving you something to lean on and thats what it means to be a friend...

a friend won't smoke when shes in your room
or laugh at the poems you write
a friend won't go and start kissing your brother
the minute that your out of sight
a friend is the person who calls 16 times every night
and if your heart is always breaking
and you want to run and hide
when your hope is gone your friend is on your side

if someone moves in round the corner
and you want to show him you care
so you give him all your last month of vacation
and all of the time you can spare
and then on the first day of classes
he acts like your not even there
then he doesn't know
he doesn't know
he'll never know what it means to be a friend...
