Song Help?

[ladybug_archive]

... I am so geekily amused by my icon. I added each dot by hand in a separate frame, and I managed to get them each on the same line and with the same amount of space between them! Which is probably about the equivalent of the non-cooking-savvy person being excited over successfully boiling water, but what the heck.

Guys, I need a song. It needs to be a song on the same lines as Relient K's Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet?, i.e., involving an argument between two people whose relationship is ambiguous. That is, the song is suitable for use as a friendship thing. (Also, both parties in the argument I need it for are guys, which may limit the song choices. It doesn't have to be sung by a guy, but I'd rather the lyrics were fitting for these two guys, i.e., no cheesiness.) Having a resolution would be squeeful, but it isn't necessary.

HOWEVER, what is necessary is that it must not sound anything like Relient K. It should be somehow ... more gentle on the ears? Flowing? I tried looking through the lyrics of Nightwish, Within Temptation, and Blackmore's Night, but I didn't turn up anything suitable.

Help?

EDIT: I think the problem is solved, but I would still love to hear suggestions, if you know of any such songs! There can never be too many.

Hmmm...y'know, Reliant K released an acoustic version of this song that's gentler than the original. Have you heard that one yet? I'm drawing blanks right now as to what song you're looking for, but I'll start looking through my music archive and see if I can't find what you're looking for.

Yep, I'm familiar with it. And I probably should have thought of it before I asked, haha. I only thought of it after I asked.

Thanks!

I'll go through my amazing and unheard of music, and keep my ears tuned for a fitting song. I know I can find a few.

Thanks! I think the original problem is solved, but one can never have knowledge of too many songs like that, if you've stumbled across some.

Eeehh.. judgement call, but I think ye might like this even if ye don't use it. Have a listen to Alice Cooper's "Be With You a While". It is a love song, but it could be taken as a bestest buddy thing if you give it a chance. Don't be afraid to try the Coop'. He's not as.. whatever.. as ye might have been warned.

I actually have nothing against Alice Cooper. I don't know enough about him and have never heard anything particularly negative about him, haha. The extent of my knowledge is that he's a singer and there was a hilarious reference to him in an episode of the detective show Monk.

Thanks for the recommendation! I looked up the lyrics and they are lovely.

Maybe something by Snow Patrol? I was going to suggest "How to Be Dead," but they use some pet names so it's more apparent that it's a fight between a couple. But maybe one of their other songs would work. :)

Thanks for the suggestion! Snow Patrol is cool; I'll investigate.
