From Ellie: I realised that I had focused a lot of writing on past relationships and it hit me I had never written about my best friend. The person I met in college over ten years ago. The person who was at my very first gig. The person who has seen me at my lowest and the first person I call in muffled sobs when something bad happens. We've been deliriously happy together, deliriously tired and deliriously sad together. I wanted to show our friendship for what it really is- honest, real, electric. I think about the times we drink together until neither of us can stand. The laughing at our own ridiculousness and foolishness. Comparing our trials and errors; overthinking our break ups and new loves, remembering everything we've been through to get to this point and being so proud of it. Two girls from Hereford trying our best in the City. We open our hearts up and take risks, but together we are more powerful than ever. We are challenged every day but we see it through and sometimes it feels like we can conquer anything.
When I'm with you, I'm standing with an army.

I liked how Ellie wrote a song for her best friend. It's very thoughtful cause these days the only thing most artists write about is love, relationships and break-ups all the time.
-
Somehow, stories of friendship are always more touching than stories of romance.
-
I dedicated this song to her 4 years ago. My bestfriend left me. Turns out she was backstabbing me all those years. :)
-
Standing with an army reminds me of how GOD always makes me feel like when he is behind me I literally have an army behind me. I dedicate this song to the almighty GOD who is my best friend and always has my back🙏❤
-
I never even thought that this song could've been about her best friend.
-
HER VOICE IS TRULY GOLD. I love how this song was written for her friend, and not about breakups, love, or relationships. This song is absolutely beautiful. Ps: Dear people of the comments section, I hope you've all had a lovely day! Have a wonderful weekend ahead of you. Be sure to rest a lot, spend lots of quality time with family and friends, and make the most out of every moment.

I've lost my bestfriend yesterday and this song was our "theme song". I miss him so much. Treat kind everyone you know and by any sign of depression or anything be aware and help them.
-
truly extraordinary friendship. Until now Ellie and Hannah are still always together. even though they already have their respective husbands because sometimes when a friend is married. will be busy with the affairs of each .But Ellie and Hannah remain friends. and hopefully it will always be 😍

This shows friendship is more important than romance

Dear Ellie Thanks for making a song I could send my mom today. I haven't been able to make it through without fucking crying though, which isn't helping this 34 yr old male on public transit.

I remember when this song came out, my best friend and I decided that this was our song, since that day everytime we're far away or going through something rough we remind ourselves of this song.
