The Rembrandts are an American pop rock duo, formed by Danny Wilde and Phil Solem in 1989. They had previously worked together as members of Great Buildings in 1981. The Rembrandts are best known for "I'll Be There for You", which was used as the theme song for the television sitcom, Friends, first broadcast in 1994.
Before the foundation of The Rembrandts, Solem and especially Wilde were well-regarded music industry veterans. Wilde was a member of 1970s cult recording act The Quick, and had released several mildly successful solo albums in the 1980s. As well, Wilde and Solem had together been in the well-reviewed (but commercially unsuccessful) power-pop quartet Great Buildings, a band which released one album for CBS in 1981 before dissolving.
After establishing themselves as The Rembrandts in 1989, Solem and Wilde recorded a self-titled album largely in Wilde's home studio. From this album, the group had their first success during 1990 with "Just the Way It Is, Baby", which scored at number 14 on the Billboard singles chart. The self-titled album scored number 88 on the album charts.
The Rembrandts is the first album by the American pop rock duo The Rembrandts released on September 4, 1990 by Atco Records.

Where are you now?
Is it some place warm and shining?
With somebody who...sees beyond your silver lining
Tonight.....only my heart with you.....Tonight
Mmmm tonight
The closest that I've been to free-And we were never meant to be
Some other place...some other world...some other life
Could you be mine?
Some other place...some other world...some other life
Could you be mine?
Just one day with you, and my whole life changed forever
With you, I believed...there existed something better...and right
Caught in-between what's wrong...and right
Tonight
The closest that I've been to free-And we were never meant to be
Some other place...some other world...some other life
Could you be mine?
Some other place...some other world...some other life
Could you be mine?
(solo)
Mmmmmm...MMmmm...MMmmmm...Mmmmm...Mmmm...Mmmmm..Mmmmmm...MMMmmmmmmm.....Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm...MMmmm...MMmmmm...Mmmmm...Mmmm...Mmmmm..Mmmmmm...MMMmmmmmmm.....Mmmmmm
Some other place...some other world...some other life
Could you be mine?
Some other place...some other world...some other life
Could you be mine?
Some other place...some other world...some other life
Could you be mine?
Some other place...some other world...some other life
Could you be mine?
Could you be mine?!
Could you be mine?!
