DEF LEPPARD teilen ihre Coverversion von Ben E. Kings `Stand By Me`, dessen Einnahmen an die Opfer der verheerenden Brände von Los Angeles gehen sollen sowie Maßnahmen zur zukünftigen Verhinderung solcher Katastrophen unterstützen will.
DEF LEPPARD schreiben auf ihren Social Media Kanälen:
“We are very excited to share our take on “Stand By Me” from Bank of Dave 2, which you can stream today at https://defleppard.lnk.to/StandByMe
All proceeds from the track will be donated to FireAid to assist in both short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California.
Los Angeles, we stand by YOU“
Darüber hinaus sagt Joe:
“Los Angeles & its surrounding area has always played a central role in Def Leppard’s career, from it being where some of us are based and it being our U.S. hub for rehearsals, to being the city where we played our first-ever American gig. We feel blessed to be able to dedicate this song & give all the royalties to the amazing heroes in L.A. helping those affected by the fires. No better song.”

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
or 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
And 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
