2) Tenille Arts - I Hate This

3) ASHS - More than Friends (tricky one song from the other one's perspective)

four) Rita Ora - Let You Beloved Me (my favourite)

five) Melanie C, Lisa "Left Middle" Lopes - Never Exist the Same Once more (getting from friendzone to relationship)

6) Sara Bareilles - 1000 Times (ballad)

vii) Olly Murs - Accept Your Love

8) Calum Scott - Dancing On My Own

ix) Ellie Lawson - Don't Wanna Be More Than Simply Friends

10) Studio Black, Emily Burns - Friends Don't Kiss Friends

xi) Donna Summertime - Friends

12) Neon Trees - Sleeping With A Friends

13) Moe Bandy - Are We Makin' Love Our Just Making Friends

fourteen) Best Declension - The Stop

15) Surface - Closer Than Friends

16) Wayne Wonder - Friend Like Me

17) The Killers - Change Your Mind (more than about simple rejection, but still - 'if I had a gamble, would yous allow me know? If the respond is no, tin I change your mind?')

18) Josef Salvat - Closer (I adore this one)

xix) Jessie Ware - Say You Beloved Me (some other ballad)

20) Kodaline - Make New Solar day (besides in cute acoustic version with Nina Nesbitt)

21) Noah And The Whale - 5 Years Time (imagining brilliant and happy hereafter with idealized someone who doesn't even knowing that y'all're into him/her)

22) Hikaru Utada - Flavor Of Life (ballad version, unfortunately in Japanese, merely English translation is available; for me - one of the most beautiful, bittersweet, sad... and even so so hopeful ballads e'er)

23) Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette - Hello

24) Victoria Duffield - More Than Friends

25) CeCe Winans - More Than But Friends

26) Diana Ross - Osculation Me At present

Lauren on Apr 07, 2019:

I've been in the friend zone before or and then these guys thought but the second they got a girlfriend I was out of there I never really became friends with them they simply thought I did only I was never actually interested in being just their friend it'south an deed that style I can tell if they are serious about wanting me to stick around and none of them really were so I ended the friendship with them

Jason M Quinapondan - Thank you for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed this playlist. It made me feel young again writing it.

Jason Behm from Cebu, Philippines on December 07, 2018:

This brings me to my youthful days! The feeling that you thought there was something special but then it turned out to be still in the friend zone. It brought a smile listening to some of the songs. :)

FlourishAnyway (author) from United states on November 26, 2018:

Suhail - It's funny how many people won't admit it!

Suhail Zubaid aka Clark Kent from Mississauga, ON on November 26, 2018:

You are 100% correct Flourish! I distinctly recall being friend zoned by a girl who went out to see the moving picture Alien II with me back in the day LOL!

Regards,

Suhail

FlourishAnyway (author) from U.s. on November xx, 2018:

Suhail - I like both of those songs. Most of us take been friend zoned or banished someone to the friend zone at one time or another. I hear about it now from my young readers, teenage and twentysomething relatives and their peers. Accept a nifty week and Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate it.

Suhail Zubaid aka Clark Kent from Mississauga, ON on November 19, 2018:

OMyDawg! Layla by Eric Clapton I used to be crazy about.

Great list in which I also related with Mr. Big ha-ha.

Btw, thanks for explaining Friend Zone in the very beginning :-)

Regards,

Suhail

FlourishAnyway (writer) from Usa on Nov 14, 2018:

Genna - That's such a classic, and the story behind it is quite something as well. I appreciate your stopping by! Have a terrific calendar week ahead!

Genna Eastward from Massachusetts, USA on Nov eleven, 2018:

Serendipity; spindipity..delightful words to describe this article. What a wonderful topic for this series. The list of songs is wonderful; as for my fav, I headed for "Layla" like a homing pigeon. :-) Thank you for bringing a smile to my twenty-four hours.

Mary Norton from Ontario, Canada on Nov 11, 2018:

Some other great list. Reminded me of my stiff friendship with my husband. I accept many special friends and I value these so much.

FlourishAnyway (author) from United states of america on November 10, 2018:

Tim, Thanks for your kind comment. I have so many more ideas. I may never finish. Promise you're having a good weekend!

Tim Truzy from United states of americaA. on November 09, 2018:

Hi, Flourish,

Your play list are ever interesting. I never know what might bear witness up.

You keep the turn-tables (Oops! Mp3 players) moving along.

Groovy piece of work and ever positive.

"And the beat goes on."

Thanks for keeping the states motivated through music and keen articles.

Much respect and admiration,

Tim

FlourishAnyway (author) from U.s.a. on November 09, 2018:

Tim - Twilight Zone indeed! I've heard of poor souls who expect information technology out in the friend zone for several years, hoping their friend will somehow magically see them as something more. Doesn't usually happen when someone's getting everything they need in the current situation though. Thanks for your support. Have a wonderful weekend!

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 09, 2018:

Pamela - Thank you for your kind encouragement. I appreciate your loyalty. Have a wonderful weekend! It's very rainy hither. Hope information technology'south sunnier in Florida.

Tim Truzy from U.Southward.A. on Nov 09, 2018:

Excellent, Flourish. Wonderful listing. The friend zone sounds a lot similar the Twilight Zone, and I don't want to visit in that location either. Only I've probably been there, and probably sent a few to the "friend zone" in my life.

Interesting play list. New songs to explore.

As ever, entertaining and informative,

Take a great weekend,

Sincerely,

Tim

Pamela Oglesby from Sunny Florida on Nov 09, 2018:

There really is a song about any sceneio you lot can remember of! This is an interesting topic, although dating for me has been quite some time. I but knew a few of the songs, but I like listening to many of them and reading what you write about them.

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on Nov 09, 2018:

Shannon - That's great to hear. I wish her well!

FlourishAnyway (writer) from USA on November 09, 2018:

Linda - Not a identify I'd want to be. Too complicated, supposed to exist simple. Thank you for reading along even though I was sure y'all didn't know whatsoever of these songs! Take a wonderful weekend!

Linda Crampton from British Columbia, Canada on November 08, 2018:

Your song descriptions are always interesting to read, Flourish. I don't know whatsoever of the songs in your drove, only I enjoyed learning about the friend zone. The zone sounds like a complex place to be.

FlourishAnyway (author) from The states on November 08, 2018:

Heidi - Information technology's the FWB relationships that become me. People have e'er washed that sort of matter simply they've often been less blatant about information technology. It's a new age. Hope you're doing well! Have a great Friday and weekend ahead!

Shannon Henry from Texas on Nov 08, 2018:

Oh, I meant to tell yous that someone told Amy Rose you lot listed her song "Sunshine" on 1 of your lists and she was beyond excited nigh information technology. She had a FB post about information technology.

Heidi Thorne from Chicago Area on November 08, 2018:

I didn't know it was called the friend zone either. But I guess that term describes it. I have, all the same, heard of friends with benefits. ;) I also didn't know at that place were so many tunes virtually this complicated human relationship. If I think of some from the dusty archives, I'll add to the list. But this one has me stumped.

Happy Th!

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Dora, I get lots of questions from immature people nigh dating and their beloved interests. They are often very concerned about how to go from but friends to more than that, so I thought I idea this was an especially advisable playlist for them and others facing the dilemma.

I'grand certain missing your lovely writing. Hope you are doing well.

FlourishAnyway (author) from United states of america on November 08, 2018:

Linda - Some of my readership leans immature and I'm trying to appeal to some of the topics they enjoy while as well keeping their elders current on the trends! You might surprise someone very youthful in your life that you know the term past slipping it into conversation. Their optics will probably issues out just it'll evidence you know what's going on in the world! I often joke with my husband that if he's not good, he'south going right into the friend zone. He just shakes his head.

Linda Lum from Washington Land, Usa on November 08, 2018:

Flourish, I'm so old and accept been in a committed relationship for so long (decades!!!) that I didn't even know the expression "friend zone." I practice, still, recognize some of these songs. A fun list for certain.

Dora Weithers from The Caribbean on Nov 08, 2018:

Although I've guessed it, I think the illustration in your introduction is the first explanation of Friend Zone I have read. Equally usual, y'all have selected very interesting, advisable songs. Great lists!

FlourishAnyway (author) from The states on Nov 08, 2018:

James - In the finish, we all end upwardly one-time, wrinkled and hunched over, a mere caricature of what we were in our glory days, so the friendship we share with our partners improve exist awful good -- lots of shared memories, tolerance, inside jokes, and appreciation for the mundane details of life. Equally exciting as the spicy stuff may be, that can't last forever, but the friendship sure can.

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Liz - Thanks for stopping past.

James C Moore from Joliet, IL on November 08, 2018:

I thought of two people when I starting time saw what your musical compilation list was about. Milhouse and Lisa from the Simpsons came to mind. The friend zone concept seems to go against relationship advice. Often, I've heard that the primal to successful marriages are that the partners are first and foremost best friends. And then, it would seem the best partner would exist 1 who is proven as a friend.

Liz Westwood from UK on November 08, 2018:

Some other comprehensive list of songs on a theme.

FlourishAnyway (writer) from United states on Nov 08, 2018:

Shannon - Cheers for that song add-on. I love John Michael Montgomery! I appreciate yous.

Shannon Henry from Texas on November 08, 2018:

Good listing thought. LOL. Does "Friends" by John Michael Montgomery count?

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Poppy - Sometimes the friend zone is a person's disability to take "no" for an respond. When that happens, the friend zoned person has no one to blame but themselves. Usually they don't see it that fashion, however. Glad you're enjoying married life.

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Neb - Some of these were a petty difficult to generate, but I had fun with this ane. It was for my younger readers who write me a LOT of Q&Equally about dating relationships. Thank you for sticking with me. Have a great twenty-four hour period, buddy!

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Oh, dear Clive, As lovely every bit you are, my husband has asked me to honor my previous delivery to him. He's super chill but kinda takes those vow things to heart. Then deplorable, but tin we yet be friends?

Bill Holland from Olympia, WA on November 08, 2018:

I drew a blank on this topic...full blank. And so I saw your entries and I was similar "DUH!"

Clive Williams from Jamaica on November 08, 2018:

Flourish...I would like to leave the Friend Zone,,,lets appointment.

Poppy from Enoshima, Nihon on November 07, 2018:

Great list! I frequently hear or run into on the internet (generally men, just the odd woman also) complaining that they accept been put in the "friend zone." Every bit a married woman, I'1000 glad I don't have to bargain with that sort of drama anymore, as information technology tin can sometimes lead to bitter feelings from one or both parties.
