10 essential Bill Withers' songs
Withers’ biggest hit may have been inspired by the loneliness he felt following a cross-country move from his rural childhood home in West Virginia to the starry, big-city world of Los Angeles, but its message stretches far beyond that. "Lean On Me" is a gospel-tinged ode to selflessness and hope, to dependency and love for your fellow neighbor.
—Even if the rest of the song was nothing special — which it very much is from its pointed acoustic groove to the sleekly stealthy strings — it would be a hall of fame contender for this verse alone: “Now when I add the sum of you and me/I get confused when I keep coming up with three/You're too much for one man/But not enough for two, dadgumit/Who is he and what is he to you.” Both hilarious and straight fire.
