SHE'S JUST A FRIEND BY CARDINAL BLOOM

"She’s Just a Friend" is the most relatable song if you grew up or have spent significant time during your younger years along the Wasatch Front.

The specificity of the lyrics produces second-to-none imagery that invokes the spirit of the 2003 Dierks Bentley classic, “What Was I Thinkin’”—now Utah style. Who hasn’t been young and in love? And by love, I mean super horny.

If I had to guess—based on the sexual charisma that the band as a whole exudes while on stage and in every promotional photo they’ve ever taken together—I’d say that this song is based on Hot Josh’s escapades before recently settling down (based on a recent Instagram post). You can feel the angst as he shreds through his solo, your head bobbing with the drums as they build just as Josh thoroughly finishes melting your face off.
