I'm not quite sure what possessed me to attempt to re-create this song the way I did, but once I started it was evident I couldn't stop. I've always loved this song and it was written well before I was born.

I hope I did it some justice and you'll enjoy what you hear.
Here is my version of Ben E. King's timeless classic, "Stand By Me"

I have a Patreon account which allows people like you to help creative folk like me reach our goals. Right now my goal is to get to $700.00 per video. I know it's personal, but that is my break-even point. I do a new video each week. I believe we can make it and when we do, that means I'll be able to put a lot more effort into these songs and videos. I appreciate your help so much. Thank you. For more information, click the Patreon link below:

Oh, did I forget to mention that ALL my patrons get access to an instant download of ALL my songs? Yeah, it's just my way of letting you know how awesome I think you are.

Enjoy great meaningful hard rock!

Hi there! I'm Jason. I'm a drummer who pretends to play guitar and sing. I also own and operate a recording studio called ArtCitySound. I do all my own engineering. I figured having videos to watch along with the music would be a good idea, so I started making my own videos, too.

I invite you to visit my website MeaningfulHardRock.com (link below) and subscribe to my mailing list. As a way of saying "Thank you", I'll give you two free songs available for immediate download.
It will also keep you up to date.

Also, this week I uploaded a drum-only video of this song as well as a full version. It's the same song but just drums the whole way through. You can find that video at the link below.

For this song, I produced and performed everything myself including all arrangement, performance, production, editing, mixing, mastering, and all video editing and production.

Please subscribe if you'd like to see more videos. I really enjoy producing them, and I create a new one every week!

Lyrics:

Slap that bass! Alright, let's do this.

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

And darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand,
Please stand, please stand
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, woah, stand by me
Won't you please, please won't you stand,
stand by me,
Stand by me

When a world full of darkness
demands we be selfish
demands that we bow to no one
except ourselves,
that is when true-love dies.

misconception
deceit
lies and darkness
fought side by side
by light unwilling to bend,
break, or be turned
We must be willing to stand together.
Willing to fight the darkness
Willing to go through it all
Crawling out into the light
Never to look back.

Darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
won't you please, please won't you stand
stand by me.
Stand by me.

In a world that was designed to challenge happiness
It can be found by standing one with another
Stand By Me.

*Outro song:*

It's creepy
This song is creepy
But that's not why I'm making it at all.
I'm makin' it to let you know how much I appreciate you
watching my stuff. With a new video each week.

I invite you to subscribe if you would like to be notified of each week's new video.

They're pretty cool, at least I would like to believe they are.

I also have a Patreon account, that will let you download all my songs, in an instant download.

Details are in the video description.

Thank you for your support. Oh yeah...

Make it GREAT!
