Lyric discussion by River Wolf 

One of my favourite songs of all. An example of a work of genius. Pennywise, John Lennon, and other people all do equally excellent covers of it. It's surprising that more people haven't made comments on this famous song. It was perfect for the movie Stand By Me. One of the best movies ever.

The song had always moved me, but when i got a copy of it from an unlikely source (a friend who almost exclusively watches action movies comedies and nowadays mostly funny action movies) and watched it, the use of the song in the films context struck deep chords in my heart and mind. This was 5 years ago and i've watched the film at least thrice more and it still stands solid.
