When you turn on your radio, it's hard to find music that isn't just about drinking, sex and partying. Yeah, it's catchy, but that doesn't mean it's something that should be on the radio 50 times a day. No wonder our generation is often accused of being overly sexual, big on partying and out-of-control. But what if you could find a song with a cleaner message about the truth of relationships?

Let me introduce you to Ellie Goulding's "Army." Contrary to her album's first single, "On My Mind," which is all about having a one night stand you can't forget about, "Army" goes in the opposite direction. It shows the emotions that come from a lifelong friendship with a best friend. In the past, Ellie had never written a song about Hannah Lowe, her best friend since she was attending university. Hannah always stood by her side, went on the crazy journey of fame with her and hasn't left since. Ellie honors her with this song.

This song is just as powerful as the message behind it. Even when she performs the song live, it leaves you feeling so emotional because the ballad behind her lyrics flows so nicely. The build up to the emotional chorus is really critical to this song because she lays the feeling of love for her best friend down thick in the verses, and sells it by calling Hannah her "army" anytime she's by her side. When you listen to this song, not only do you feel the love between Ellie and Hannah, you feel the love between you and your best friend. You can see it in her face as she sings it, and you can hear the love the crowd has when they sing it with her.

I was lucky enough to get to listen to this song live on May 11 with my best friend by my side, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I cried twice during her performance. This song brings me to tears anytime I sit down and genuinely listen to it, because I know what it feels like to have someone mean the world to you like that. You don't just wake up one day with a friend like that; you have to earn them through years of stories and memories. Ellie really hits what it means to have a best friend, and this song is something worth remembering.

Don't automatically write off pop music as meaningless and overly sexual. Songs like this give me hope that pop music isn't just a cash grab; there's still meaning to it. I hope it does the same for you.
