Michael is the most honest person I've ever seen. I've NEVER seen ANYONE who loves people more than him. You can see how emotional he is while he's singing. It really is hard to leave after you've seen all your fans who truly love you and sing this song to them. I've noticed that all songs I can listen to and love, but Friends is the only song I can listen to a billion times and never get tired of. Thank you, Smitty!
This song has a Super-Natural Meaning. There is something very mystical in this song. I am a devote Roman Catholic but when I heard Michael play this song LIVE in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this song got deep into my SPIRIT and I knew it was JESUS who was speaking to me thru Michael. When I go to Graduations or Funerals, and I see my friends whom I have not seen in years, this song comes to mind. This song will never die because the HOLY SPIRIT inspired this song in Michael.
Friends are such a vital part of life. Although people may come into your life for a short while and then leave they hold a special place in your heart and always will. Be true to your friends so that when things happen you will mean just as much to them as they mean to you.
this song remindes me a great season in my youth... people, moments, friends, real friends... & how my God gives me a bunch of them, people who love me after time, after distance, after me... thnxs Lord!
this song is so powerful because the true vulnerability of it transcends all time, friendships will always have good times, and bad times, shared memories and the emotional connections that are forever tied to them. even as life goes by, the events, and a song such as this will connect us to those experiences that shape who we go on in life to become.
Friends is very special to me it brings me close to the people who i have lost in my life time😢 ❤ I can listen to it all day long it means a lot to me thank you for all your music
This song has so much sentimental value to me. I first heard it at a Young Life meeting with my best friend Jim. We thought the song described our friendship. That summer we were in a car crash together. He died 6 1/2 months later. Then the song really described our friendship. It remains my favorite song and a lifetime is not too long to live as friends.
Michael W Smith has ALWAYS been my favorite! i like to see the audience to this song, because it's SUCH a beautiful picture of how all the people are clinging their arms and hands together,like we are one big family in Christ!This song makes me cry for how wonderful people are in Christ's Kingdom!I wish I could go to Michael W Smith's concerts,just like this one,where all the people are friends,regardless of the sins everyone has.I wanna thank God for life,and all the people that he has made.
i just saw michael again at the nc state fair, with my best friend God gave me in the flesh. when he sanf friends we had one arm of ours around the others shoulder and my right hand had my cell phone for the light. the worship was unbelievable, i felt like i was in the upper room at pentecost. the fire fell upon us that night. you had to have been there. it soaked into my soul i had always wanted to do this with this person. she's amazing. pm me for details.
I cry EVERY TIME....I will miss you Damon, my great friend. Your in the Father's hands now. Smitty and Debbie Smith wrote this song under such an anointing....
This song makes me so grateful for the friends I have and friends God has put in my path. It reminds me of my favorite friend I ever had. I miss her dearly.
i was always partial to the original 1983 version with just michael, amy and the piano. but this is good without her. to hear him perform this live may 1, 1993 was an honor. now i have a second opportunity to do it again on the 19th at the nc state fair.
Conheci os louvores e o trabalho do Michael W Smith através de um amigo meu q tem dupla nacionalidade, é americano e brasileiro , ele me emprestou um cd e até hj sou fã
i saw michael in chapel hill, nc the night before this video was taped. at the dean smith center on the unc campus of all places!!! oh the irony! my 17th birthday was just days before and this was THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!! there's so much i can say, but i would have to write a book about that to contain it all. the original friends from his first album still rules! long live mws!!
For my American Airlines friends.. Im on voluntary OLOA. After 20 years at this job.. I dont think Im coming back.. I will miss you.. Cathy Ford. Fleet Service. SEA.. Keepin touch Cindy. XOXO
me and my friend saw michael in chapel hill ( see comment below), after out of this world, we stepped out, then i told her it's not a michael w smith concert without friends at the end. we almost missed it. the original version from 1983 is the best. like we are the reason or my father's eyes friends made michael w smith. and the story behind it you have to look it up. a friend of michael and debbie's was moving away. this was a goodbye present.
Rolando Ismael Ruiz Ramos Acá en Chile, años atrás el Gobierno utilizó esta canción en un material educativo para maestros. Estaba cantada por niños en español. Espero encuentre ese CD.
i want this played at my funeral if Jesus doesn't come first too. and when my casket is being lowered into the ground, i want the instumental playing. or as the casket is being cremated, i have'nt decided on that yet.
Christ died for our sins! Are you saved in the Lord Jesus Christ? Your good works doesn't pay for your bad works, you need a 'payment' for your sins and that is Jesus Christ. You cannot do it alone, Jesus Christ paid it all for you, the only thing you have to do is 'believe' in what He did for you on the cross of Calvary. Jesus Christ is the only cure for sin, so please believe in what He did, His death, burial and resurrection - found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, saves lost souls when you truly believe from your heart. Ephesians 1:13, saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way. Please get saved now, time is running out!! Eph. 2:8-9 and Titus 3:5

Best Christian music song EVER!! Barely beats out David Meece's "We Are The Reason" just for the emotional response it evokes.
Michael W Smith is a beautiful soul I get touched everytime I hear him sing. love you Smitty 🎹☺️🎤🎵🎶

@Anastasia21ish The song was written in 1981. So now it has been 30 yrs and it's still as powerful and on point today as it was when it was written.
great song play it again sam
i want this played at my funeral if Jesus doesn't come first too. and when my casket is being lowered into the ground, i want the instumental playing. or as the casket is being cremated, i have'nt decided on that yet.

In 18 years, TARGET Corp. went from sponsoring Christian artist Michael W. Smith to partnering with secular artist Lady Gaga....sad.
Wow....what a "nice" thing to say(sarcasm) He does not sound gay and what would it matter if he did...... pointless comment.
