Video & Lyrics – theme from Friends
Cover of Friends: The Official Trivia Guide
Today we have another favourite series of many people from the last decade or so. Apart from being responsible for the making and later breaking of the careers of most of the actors involved (with a couple of exceptions), the series’ catchy theme song did more or less the same for a fine band called The Rembrandts – here they are with the cast having a bit of fun in the studio.
By the way, come back tomorrow for a free album download by the Rembrandts’ lead singer Danny Wilde.
I’ll Be There For You
The Rembrandts
So no one told you life was gonna’ be this way
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s DOA
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..
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…
You’re still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You’ve burned your breakfast so far… things are goin’ great
Your mother warned you there’d be days like these
Oh but she didn’t tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that…
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…
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’ll 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…
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…
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
‘Cause you’re there for me too…

Eleven-year-olds are to learn Shakespeare using techniques employed by RSC actors, and English teachers will be encouraged to let pupils walk around the classroom rather than reading the plays while sitting at their desks.Exercises devised by the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Globe theatre in London will see children aged 11 to 14 mirror the methods of professional actors at rehearsal. Written and oral assessments developed alongside the lessons will show how well students have understood the texts.

Strange Random Shakespeare Quote:
Jaques:
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
As You Like It Act 2, scene 7, 139–143
