It was a great pleasure to sing at the wedding of one of my good friends. It was the brother and sister dancing together to one of my favourite songs ‘Stand By Me’. It was great to see the special bond between them.
Inspiration behind “Stand by Me” by Ben E. King
According to Ben E., the title is derived from, and was inspired by, a spiritual song written by Sam Cooke and JW Alexander called ‘Stand by Me Father.’ However, the real inspiration for the song is said to have been derived from King’s love for his real-life partner, Betty Nelson. Further, the third line of the second verse of the original song derives from ‘Psalm 46.’
Lyrics:
When the night, has come
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
So darlin', darlin' stand, by me
Oh-oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall
Or the mountains, should crumble, to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no-no-no I won't shed a tear
Just as long, as you stand, by me
And darlin', darlin' stand, by me
Oh-oh-oh, stand, by me
Oh darling, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Songwriters: Ben E. King / Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller
