Count on me, is one of my favorite songs. I do not know why I could love this song. When I find out who the singer and what the purpose of this song, I more love this song. The song tells how to have a friend who is really a friend, not a friend like the enemy. The song is sung by Bruno Mars. Bruno mars is one singer from the United States whose name became famous through the song "Just the way you are". He is now known as a pop singer with a little music in the song rege. The Doo-Woops and Hooligans album released in 2010, Bruno mars add a song called "count on me" in november 2011. This song has a meaning and a moral message which was very nice.

The means of “Count on Me”

“Count On Me” when we mean as directly, Count On Me is Count on Me (Hitung Aku) but it was not the means. Count On Me is unity word meaning Count on Me ( Andalkan Aku) which is a song that tells the story of friendship and rely on me in relation to this friendship.

When a friend was having trouble, they can rely on each other as easy as counting 1 2 3, and 4 3 2. That figure likens that companions actually very close to us. They will come when it is needed as soon as someone counting 1 2 3. Like this lyrics,

            You can count on me like one, two, three

            I’ll be there

            And I know when I need it

                        I count on me like one,two, three

                        And you’ll be there

                        Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do

The lyrics of this song also stated that how should someone become a reliable friend, which may not be a true friend to leave his friend who was in trouble, undecided, or crying. True friend who came not only when happy, but when sad, crying etc. The real friend will always be there in all conditions. This means there are in this lyrics,

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry

I'll never let go,

Never say goodbye.

            The best friends are like this quote

You can count on me 'cause I can count on you

Kau dapat mengandalkanku karena aku dapat mengandalkanmu

Moral Value of this song

Lagu ini sangat menginspirasi, bagaimana makna sahabat itu sendiri sangat jelas tergambarkan dari lagu ini. Sahabat yang benar-benar sahabat. Berawal dari lirik baris pertama bahwa dalam kondisi apapun, entah terjebak di tengah lautan, tak bisa menyeberang, tak bisa berenang, tak ada kapal, tak ada apapun, aku yakin aku pasti tahu. Dari lirik ini, kita dapat menyimpulkan sahabat itu pasti selalu mengerti kondisi sahabatnya, dan selalu datang untuk menjadi bahu kita. Itulah makna sahabat yang sebenarnya. Seperti lirik

You can count on me like one, two, three

I’ll be there

And I know when I need it I can count on me like four, three, two

You’ll be there

‘Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Whoa, whoa,

Ohh… ohhh,,,, yeah

Kau bisa menggantungkan harapanmu akan bantuanku, hanya dengan menghitung satu sampai tiga, dan aku akan langsung tiba di manapun kau berada. Karena aku tahu, kau pun akan selalu ada untukku, dalam tiga hitungan. Karena kita adalah sahabat, yang tercipta untuk saling mendukung dan menyayangi. Diperkuat dengan lirik

Find out what we’re made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

Aku merasa bahagia, aku merasa berguna, dan aku merasa menjadi diriku sendiri saat aku bisa membantumu. Karenanya, menyenangkanmu berarti menyenangkan diriku sendiri. Sahabat itu “You might rely on me 'cause i could rely on you” (kamu dapat mengandalkanku karena aku dapat mengandalkanmu). 

"Jadilah sahabat yang benar-benar sahabat, bukan sahabat yang terpaksa menjadi benar-benar sahabat. Jadilah sahabat yang seperti sahabat, bukan sahabat yang seperti musuh."
