Radio Paradise (mobile)

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 darling, darling
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 darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Won't you stand now, oh, stand
Stand by me
When all of your friends is gone

Wow. This was the genius of Ahmet Ertegun, his brother Nesuhi, and Jerry Wexler at Atlantic Records. They did things that no one else had even thought of, much less crafting them into monster pop hits. I highly recommend the Atlantic "R&B 1947-1974" box set. [ Reply ]

coloradojohn Feb 25, 2012 - 18:38	Yup, that bass and rhythm just slides right in behind MM&W. And so the vibe continues in finest RP style this well-soundtracked evening... [ Reply ]
Stratocaster Jan 25, 2012 - 01:52	Always liked this song but I think John Lennon's version is better, with more feeling. [ Reply ]

FrankAnja May 17, 2011 - 07:46	normally I let your stream of music come over me, eager to hear new stuff, sometimes in awe sometimes it leaves me wondered; sometimes I run to my computer to see what you've discovered this time. Now, this one I know ;-) but it also hit's bulls eye for the both of us. thank you Bill and Rebecca for this wonderful radiostation. (from the Netherlands) [ Reply ]

A true 10 for the first 10 years I've listened to it, but only a 5 at this point. Sort of funny, I pretty much only give 10s to songs that I NEVER get tired of hearing. Great songs that seem 'overplayed' only get a 9. But I get where you're comin' from. [ Reply ]
