Describing Ben E. King's Stand By Me
(see link below for video)
Please watch the video of Ben E. King's Stand By Me using the provided link and write a 300-400 word musical description of the song using the Introduction to the Elements of Music in your textbook as a guide (pp. 1-15). Below are several questions that I would like you to answer briefly. Of course, you can expand upon these questions as needed and, while I don't expect you to know all of the answers, I do expect you to make educated guesses and write in your own words. For the most part, these questions are guidelines - you don't need to answer every one. But, incorporate as much of the content as possible into your report.
Please write in full sentences and write more creatively than just providing simple answers. Begin the essay with an introductory sentence or paragraph and finish with a concluding sentence or paragraph.

Stand By Me Lyrics
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
All the mountains 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
So 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, oh won't you stand now, stand
Stand by me
