Stand By Me Lyrics
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me, yeah
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
One of my favourite songs of all. An example of a work of genius. Pennywise, John Lennon, and other people all do equally excellent covers of it. It's surprising that more people haven't made comments on this famous song. It was perfect for the movie Stand By Me. One of the best movies ever.
The song had always moved me, but when i got a copy of it from an unlikely source (a friend who almost exclusively watches action movies comedies and nowadays mostly funny action movies) and watched it, the use of the song in the films context struck deep chords in my heart and mind. This was 5 years ago and i've watched the film at least thrice more and it still stands solid.

OMG Ben E King's version is the oldie and the goodie.
You don't get much better than that heartfelt old stuff from when things were simpler, sweeter, and honest

A song that's simply about wanting someone to stand by you through anything is just so beautiful. Every time the song comes on and I hear the beginning beat...it just has this way of taking me somewhere else. And if you've seen the movie, it becomes even more powerful. Definitely one of my favorite songs ever.
