I Always Felt I Never Chose Music,

One Of The Hardest Things In The World Is To Perform On Record And Get Someone To Enjoy And Feel What You're Doing. It's Unlike, Like Tv You Can, You Can Fake It With The Face And The Crying And The Bits. Recording Is Completely Different.

If You Just Concentrate On What You're Doing And Allow Yourself To Actually Enjoy And Let Your Feelings Come Out, Whatever The Tempos, Whatever The Rhythms, Whatever The Songs, 9 Out Of 10 Times It Will Work.

I Would Imagine After The First Recording Session With Jerry Leiber And Mike Stoller And Atlantic Records I Began To Realize That This Is Going To Be Like This For The Rest Of My Life And I Knew That What, What They Were Doing Was Going To Be Successful Because With Each Session That We Would Do, It Would Get Better And Better And Better, The Songs Would Become Better, The, Ah, The Feeling Of Success Was There And We Were All In The Middle Of That As Well.

I Still Perform It In All My Shows. I'll Do It As Long As I'm Breathing. I'm So Proud It Has Stood The Test Of Time.

I Think That The Song, The Song "stand By Me" Is One Of Those Songs That... And Someone Asked Me, What Was You Thinking About Or What Was You Feeling About? It's Something That, Songwriters Just Write Songs. It's Like An Artist That Paints. They Paint What They Feel. It's Not, It's Not About How Many Of These Painting I'll Sell It's Just How They Feel At The Moment. And That's How I Wrote "stand By Me".
