It’s Sunday, the Lord’s day of rest. Take a moment to enjoy three versions of my favorite song, Stand By Me. One version reblogged from OSPREYSHIRE’S REALM that inspired this post. That version is by Take 2, a summer camp for children, 11-15 years old, with mental conditions. Another version is by Playing For Change and the final one is from the UK Royal Wedding, The Kingdom Choir, from South East England.
OMG! I had chills after listening to all three. Black people can sing!!! We make music!
Stand By Me has special meaning to me because I want someone special to stand by me.
UK Royal Wedding: Gospel Choir sings “Stand by Me”
Lyrics for Stand By Me
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
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 stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me
Oh 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 I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Should tumble and fall
Or 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
And darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Oh stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
And…
Well. if someone is lucky to have people standing by her or him, that might not solve ones problems but it can give the strenghth to battle the problems successfully!
Sunday hugs
Absolutely! That kind of support can move mountains. Have a Great Sunday, Andreas.
Stand By Me is such as good song. Thank you so much for reblogging the post about the Take 2 Creative Camp covering that song!
Enjoyed a couple of these versions of this beautiful uplifting song – a favorite of mine too, Angela. Thanks for sharing and caring. Bruce
Hi Bruce, you’re most welcome. Glad you enjoyed them!
