I had just finished the entire collection of Friends; the DVD is still hot in the player! And this means one task is off the to-do list now.

10 seasons in 12 discs. 234 episodes. Approximately 86 hours spent doing so. Actual time spanned over 6 weeks. And that’s 10 years of stories/studio recording covered in 6 weeks. How cool is that?

I’m guessing I’ll be watching it over and over again slowly — I just can’t get enough Friends. It’s really a pity they had to put an end to the show that never ends, but I guess it’s right to stop while they’re at their peak, rather than putting a sorry ending to it when it’s got too repetitive and boring.

Wow, suddenly life without Friends feels so weird. (pun intended!) Felt something like I always do whenever I finish a serial, but just much worse; that’s 234 episodes and 6 good friends we’re talking about!

Rembrants - I’ll Be There For You

So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps]
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

CHORUS:
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)

Then, the extended version continues with:

You’re still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You’ve burned your breakfast; so far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there’d be days like these
But she didn’t tell when the world has brought you down to your knees

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
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 will always laugh with
Even at my worst, I’m best with you
Yeah!

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

CHORUS

And who can ever forget “smelly cat, smelly cat“?

Since we have a song right from the start, here’s one song that’s featured in the last episode.

U2 Lyrics - Walk On

And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring…
And love is not the easy thing…
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can’t leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it’s a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can’t steal it
No they can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight…

You’re packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can’t deny it
Can’t sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Home…hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home…I can’t say where it is but I know I’m going home
That’s where the heart is

I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind
You’ve got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme…

I might upload the songs one day just so anyone might want it.
