- Hope you enjoy my acoustic cover of 'Stand By Me' originally by the one and only Ben E. King. I have loved this song for years and it's definitely one of my favourites! I cannot believe it was number one in the 1960's, I also found out it was covered by John Lennon which I didn't know! I try my best to cover modern songs but I'm a sucker for the old classics! I decided to do the video in black and white keeping with the 1960's vibe!

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
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
When the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains will 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
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand,
Stand by me, stand by me, - เพลง

Thank you Matt ! I don't know how to say this I guess there's unfriendly people everywhere but small towns tend to be a bit difficult . But Then you have an experience at the store and the next thing you know , a stranger gives me a hug and then i went to the dog park and met another nice person . Days like that are beautiful . Hey Matt its Thursday but you have a nice weekend too lol. Big hugs Annie :)

phonebibi.com/products/foldable-mini-selfie-drone......maybe this be cheap option and easier to film vlogs :D, the problem with the vr thing is the expense and the fact the viewers need vr headsets to watch.
Great cover and vocals man! Do you happen to have the tablature of the solo anywhere ? :)
Thanks mate, so sorry but I don't!
All the best,
MJ
How do I play solo?
If you have a look in the description all the info is there :)

You are too kind Rob, thank-you :)

Aww i'm sure you don't! Glad you enjoyed my cover.

Deceptively hard song to sing
if you are gonna sing it emphasizing the feelings and not the feel
change the back track accordingly
6/10
Thanks for your feedback.
MJ
Butchered the song... good voice but still butchered
Sorry you didn't enjoy it!
Matt
Matt Johnson Music its just my opinion. Many others loved it. :)
I liked your voice.
