Stand by Me
« Previous Main Next »
We went out dancing at a local establishment last night. The featured band did 50's rock and DOO-WOP music. We live in a college town and at times we are privileged to certain events. Last night the UC Davis classic choir (just finished performing Beethoven's 9th at another venue) entered the bar. An hour later they treated us to their version of the classic song 'Stand by Me'
(by Ben E. King)
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,
Oh I won't be afraid,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin' darlin' stand by me,
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 mountain 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.
And darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me.
Darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me.
Whenever you're in trouble just stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me.

A very good social portrait! I like the sense and impression of enjoyment they convey. The synergy here is quite wonderful and admirable too.
