Complete with a lyric video, which helps a lot to convey the feeling of unrequited love, and &#8220;friendzoning&#8221; (what is with that anyway!), the song is upbeat and moving and, ultimately, quite bittersweet. Think Billy Joel, Josh Groban, even Michael Bubl\u00e9. It&#8217;s a great track and has a great vibe, and will be stuck in your head long after&#8230;but it&#8217;s so good you won&#8217;t mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;The F-Word&#8217; was created by video director Rob Fitzgerald&#8217;.
