James Gavin’s New Single “When a Friend’s in Need” – A Toast to Real Friendship

Central Florida’s own singer/songwriter James Gavin has released his latest single, “When a Friend’s in Need”, a moving addition to his growing catalogue of acoustic rock with heart. Known for weaving life, love, and the quiet truths that lie between into his music, Gavin delivers yet another soul-stirring anthem that hits with both emotional weight and melodic charm.

“When a Friend’s in Need” is more than just a song; it is a moment. An emotional pop/rock ballad that dives headfirst into the complexities of addiction, it explores the gut-wrenching role of being the one left standing when someone close is spiralling. With lyrics that balance empathy and realism, the track dares to ask how you help without hurting and how you love without enabling.

Driven by Gavin’s trademark acoustic energy and anchored in raw, unflinching honesty, the single delivers a powerful message. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is say no. It is a drinking song with a twist, a singalong chorus that feels like a late-night pub moment among friends, only with deeper stakes. It toasts to boundaries, unconditional support and the difficult decisions that real friendship demands.

Catchy, heartfelt and grounded in truth, “When a Friend’s in Need” is tailor-made for playlists about friendship, long nights and personal turning points. With its blend of vulnerability and musical grit, it is a track that not only resonates but lingers.

For fans of emotional storytelling and acoustic rock with purpose, James Gavin’s latest release is not to be missed.
