Blurb:
"Stand by Me" is a song by British rock group Oasis, written by lead guitarist, Noel Gallagher. It was the second single to be released from the band's third album, Be Here Now, and peaked at number two in the UK charts in September 1997. It was kept from the top-spot by the record breaking Elton John single "Candle in the Wind 1997", re-recorded and released in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, who had died three weeks before the release of "Stand by Me". Despite this, "Stand By Me" still went Gold in the UK. "Stand by Me" was acknowledged as one of the stand-out tracks from Be Here Now.
The video for the song was a reworking of a famous series of adverts for The Guardian newspaper. Entitled The Whole Picture, the adverts showed people appearing to be engaging in criminal and/or anti-social acts - only to revealed that they are actually helping someone else. For example, a scruffily - dressed skinhead rushes at a businessman; it appears he is making an effort to mug him; only the "whole picture" reveals that he is in fact dashing to push him away from a load of falling bricks. Similarly in the video for "Stand By Me", a shop appears to be being burgled - its window smashed and people taking away electrical goods - only for it to be revealed that in fact the victim of a motorcycle crash has gone through the window and is buried under the televisions.

Scroll and Sing:
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I believe in one day
Before my heart starts to burn.
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new... Don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go, away
Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find behind the door
Stand By Me - Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me - Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me - Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
But there is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new... Don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go, away
Stand By Me - Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me - Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me - Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
