You’ve Got a Friend

Music can hold someone up when life gets heavy. It can step into the room like an old friend, sit beside you, and say the words you didn’t know you needed. Carole King’s “You’ve Got a Friend” is a song that has travelled through time since 1971, carrying the same simple promise – you’re not alone.. Whether you’re listening from a place of strength or a place of struggle, today’s show is a reminder that even in the hardest times, someone, somewhere, is holding the other end of the line.
