When I was at Schoolies (kinda the Australian equivalant of spring break? Maybe. :P) I was walking through the street at night with my friends and there was a group of about four people all singing and dancing around a speaker playing this song. When we walked past them they urged us to join them, and I really wanted to but my friends ushered me along. >.> I'll always regret that I didn't stay to finish this song with them!

[TheZombie369]

i love this song

[PureEbil1]

I have this song as part of a chill playlist where I can just chill and be happy.... I don't appreciate creepy paranormal activity 3 commercials >.<

[ch3fski]

This is quite possibly the greatest song ever written.

[livejoker24]

The first song I learned on the piano and by far is still my favorite. So simple but can be sung or played in so many different ways. Amazing job, Ben :)

[MERCER12OLI]

I'm 16 and adore this. Classic tune.

[FSV1998]

I Ben E King means Ben is king, in Swedish. or almost ... e is a slang word for is/are.

I just thought you should know

[jekiwe]

[John1948OneD]

@jekiwe Aw, she's just having fun.

[eilasaskia]

@jekiwe ee... I am from Sweden. do you really think I was looking on the internet what Ben E King might mean in different languages​?

[MRAWESOMEEASB1]

[amyjanesteel]

At sixteen years old and im listening to this, playing it on guitar and writing lyrics to it... This song is legendary. Songs like this is what music is actually about...

[dbleadbleu]

I was born in '94, this song was born in what, the 40's? and look whos listening to itt :D

[John1948OneD]

@dbleadbleu It was originally released in 1961.

[readyy2k8]

@John1948OneD doesn't matter still love this song. I was born in 94' too btw :D

[MrAbortionClinic]

@dbleadbleu And whats your point? People of the new generation aren't allowed to appreciate good music unless they get recognition??

[Tropicanax7x]

@dbleadbleu Lol I was born in 95, Look who is also listening to it. =)

[MusicbyBenjamin]

@Tropicanax7x LOL I was born in '99!

[Tropicanax7x]

@MusicbyBenjamin RIGHT ON!! :)

[MrMb666]

@dbleadbleu Ben was born in 1938- i dont think anyone have a voice like that when you are like 2-12

[UltimateMoron]

@dbleadbleu '94 was a good year to be born. We can say that, we've been there. But everybody can admit that this is one of the best song ever made! :)

[Tindecs]

@dbleadbleu same here bro :)

[RunkkaajaApina]

@dbleadbleu Yeah, look who is fishing thumbs...

[lawlers69]

@dbleadbleu Born in the 60"s.

You may have got that wrong.

But your taste in music is spot on.

[TwIIce]

@dbleadbleu, Same here dude, Born in 86...

I heard this for the first time when i was 16, all i can say is the majority of our generations don't know good music, they know auto-tune though! (Yuch!)

[rothmike123]

you know when your body shivers and you get teary eyes?

[VitalLori]

Omq Just Shut up nd Listen 2 thee sonq

[CameronM7479]

I'll be honest, i love the 'The Lion King' version by timone and pumba, that's how i came across Ben E Kings's version!:')

[RaiVen759]

Aw man I hate growing up in the 2000's!

[cooldoc1993]

There's actually an Indian version of this song. They got international copyrights to the song to improvise on it...it's called "dildaara" and it featured on a bollywood movie called "ra.one"... and it's pretty good too !

[Newagethunder]

[ThisHoodedWookie]

5 months ago I recieved my first Keyboard, I couldn't play anything on it for shizzle. I came across this song and though, "I have the learn this song no matter". 5 months later (today) I can play this song to perfection and I'm now learning the lyrics.. I wan't to learn them by Christmas so I can perform it to all my family like I promised I would.

Ben E King, You Absolute Legend.

[1971Titan]

It's a great song. It was in 1961 when I was just entering into High School. It still is today. We all need someone to stand by us.

[SuperMoh27]

john lennons song

[canyonaro2]

I take it these comments are jokes yeah?, John Lennon originally wrote and sung this tune, however, it was crap. The Drifters did a good version but Ben E King did the definitive did he not?

[John1948OneD]

@canyonaro2 What? John Lennon did not write thius song. Stand by Me was originally recorded by Ben E. King and written by him, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller. There have been over 400 cover versions, including versions by John Lennon, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, U2, and Elton John.

[Rotation4me]

@John1948OneD yupp your right he did write this song first

[b10139]

@John1948OneD John Lennon did not write this song! OMG!

[John1948OneD]

@b10139 I said heDIDN'T write it. Please read my prior comment before trying toi correct me.

[MusicbyBenjamin]

@canyonaro2 You're out of your mind man. Ben E. King does it better than Lennon would have ever done.

[drogba080991]

The song is killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RaZZcaL1]

Talk about feeling good :D

[SuperMoh27]

[MsTink1020]

Thanks John,what I am looking for is the one where he says "If Otis would have sang it and so on....''I heard it on an oldies station but didnt catch the artist??He names several artisit in the song...How they would have sang it.It would have sounded like this......Is what the lyrics are.??????

[John1948OneD]

@lbjarnigan1 Sorry, it doesn't ring a bell.

[lbjarnigan1]

looking for the Stand by Me version with other artist would have sang it this way?Does anyone know who sings it?

[John1948OneD]

@lbjarnigan1 There have been over 400 recorded versions of "Stand by Me", including versions by John Lennon, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, and Elton John.
