Finding Solace in Friendship Amidst Life's Trials

Pride & Glory's song "Found A Friend" delves into the profound themes of loneliness, struggle, and the redemptive power of friendship. The lyrics open with a plea for time, reflecting the weight of life's burdens on the narrator's mind. This sense of being overwhelmed is further emphasized by the imagery of being blinded and not knowing what to do. The narrator's isolation is palpable as they describe holding the 'hand of sorrow' and feeling as if they are 'hanging from the gallow,' a powerful metaphor for despair and hopelessness.

The chorus introduces a glimmer of hope, as the narrator calls out to the Lord to 'color my sky one time blue,' symbolizing a desire for relief and a return to happier times. This plea is juxtaposed with the acknowledgment of life's harsh realities, as the narrator admits that 'no one said it was gonna be easy' and that this truth is undeniable. Despite these challenges, the song's central message is one of gratitude for the solace found in a friend. This friendship becomes a beacon of light in the narrator's darkest moments, providing comfort and a sense of connection when life feels most desolate.

The repetition of the themes of sorrow and hanging from the gallow underscores the depth of the narrator's pain, but the consistent return to the idea of friendship highlights its importance as a source of strength and resilience. The song ultimately conveys a powerful message about the human need for companionship and the healing power of having someone to lean on during tough times. Pride & Glory's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make "Found A Friend" a touching tribute to the enduring value of friendship in the face of life's inevitable hardships.
