about
Unfortunately, my voice isn't as good as it once was, so I have to either bury it in the mix or disguise it somehow. On this track, I multi-recorded it in the hope of getting a good take and then realised it was never going to happen...so I used all the best recordings as a kind of audio fog.
This recording was just a bit of fun. I don't do cover versions, I only do my own versions - good or bad! :-)

Master: 6
Instruments:
- Applause 6 String Acoustic Guitar

lyrics
Stand by me (By Ben E. King, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller)
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And 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 darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by…
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
