Stand By Me - the brilliant green - English Fandub

English fandub, written and sung by me, of the song "Stand By Me" originally sung by the brilliant green.

I LOVE their music (thanks to one of the commenters who recommended them to me. Thanks!) and this song caught my attention the most. I felt like I could relate to it and checking the lyrics again, I was right.

Seeing as I'm transferring to Perth and will be missing my friends like crazy, these lyrics made much sense to me. And thus I wrote an English version to not only keep the meaning of the lyrics, but to also bring out my feelings. So yeah, these lyrics are kinda personal in a sense.

Couldn't sing this well as it was 2-3am when I did this and my cough was acting up. But I did my best (which isn't much) and I hope my friends will appreciate the intent.

No bashing about my voice (cause I know it sucks) and about the Japanese version being better (I know.)

Lyrics:

Another long day has ended once again
They disappear beyond doors that keep our past
I know that I might be causing my heart to break
But I long to see myself in different lights

Can I try? Why should I?
Cry the voice in my head
Where these thoughts in my heart lie asleep just because
You're always on my mind

So stand by me
Even as the world crumbles below
And when there's nothing left
Show me stars again,
I believe
Though all the lights above seem to disappear and no longer shine
When you are with me I know I'll be fine

I wonder if what I need and truly yearn
Could bring me the happiness that I truly seek
As long as I know that it will belong to me
As selfish as it sounds
It will be all right

But I know that someday if I were just to touch
It may break, disappear and will never come back
Though as much as I try

So stand by me
Face the door of fate, wish and defeat
And we will stand our ground
Even if we wait forever
And when our dreams come true
We can smile again and we'll believe
That friendship can bring the best out of you

I truly don't understand
When I begin to cry
For someone else than I
But I will treasure all, the good and the bad
The happiness and even the pain

Stand by me
Stand by me
Yeah baby

So stand by me
(So stand by me oh...)
Yeah baby, stand by me
(You're always on my mind)
I know the lights above will someday shine again if I believe
So I will carry on my path
And I'll be fine if you're here with me
So stand by me
