It Doesn't Take Me Long To Write

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".

During Those Times Like In My Early Years As A Writer I Could Actually Write A Song In Ten Minutes Because All Of A Sudden A Song Is Writing Itself, I'm Just Putting Down Words. It Just Seem Each Line That You Put Down Flows With The Other Ones. It's Like Writing A Love Letter You Don't Think About It, It's Something From The Heart.

I Don't Care What Studio I'm In, I Don't Care What Producers Is Producing It And I Don't Care What Song It Is Because They Taught Me Those Things I Feel So Protected Wherever I Go As Far As Music.

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.

When I Got Involved With The Five Crowns Who Later Became The Drifters, And We Got This Hit Record, I Still Was Looking At This As Kind Of A Fun Thing.
